New Opportunities.

Today we all face new opportunities for growth In grace and in the knowledge of Christ. It Is only the man of spiritual pride that will not feel that the hours offer to him a new spiritual chance—a chance to be more like Christ when the sun goes down upon his newly dawned day. It must be that we fall to see the significance of this line of mercies so freely offered to all men. Each morning comes with this invitation: "Ho, every one that thlrsteth, come ye to the waters.” This is simply the call to accept the divine mercies of character. Every morning is alive with that opportunity. If we do not see these mercies It is because we are spiritually blind. What unconquered regions of kindness lie before our souls! What unexplored fields of divine benevolence! What untried paths of consecration! These are the possibilities that Ood sets before us now. Tomorrow moraine should see us setting out on the stubborn « and courageous march toward our ideal. The height and breadth and depth of the love of Ood In Christ give us an ambition equal to the efforts of an eternity.
