“Capitalizing Our Crises”

-Seripture: all’ things Matt. 19:26.

VICTOR HUGO said, “Destinies are made at crossroads.” At the crossroads of life future courses and destinies are settled. The Chinese have a word for

crisis made up of two char-

acters, danger and opportunity. A crisis solidify. It was said of Jesus that He went into the wilderness full of the Spirit and came out in the power of the Spirit. Fulness turned to power under the stress of temptation, You need not: @&ccept your periences as from God, but you can accept them as opportunities for God to use them fo make you creative. Tragedies expand the soul. We must reach the circumference of our capacities before we can expand, Dr. Mary McCracken was totally. crippled in her lower limbs with infantile paralysis. Medical colleges of America refused to admit her, saying, ‘She could never practice.” She went to China and studied medicine at Peking. 8he graduated with honors, came back to the very city of Philadelphia where sha had been refused a medical course, and in an Institution for crippled children practiced in a wheel chair. She capitalized on her crisis and made jt a stepping stone to success,

and drawbacks may be turned into stepping stones to higher ground. KE. Stanley Jones tells of a prayer knoll in the Himalayas

where he watched a vine

stretched across space to fasten |

itself upon a pine tree: “That vine seemed to be aspiration, a stretching to fasten itself upon

the Iligher,” said Dr, Jones. “One morning I came out and found the vine had arrived. It had securély fastened {ts

reaching tentacles around the tree. 1 rejoiced with fit, jut the next morning, I was saddened to find catastrophe. A “storm during the night had swept across the mountains and had torn the vine from its moorings, and there it lay, a pathetic thing, with its face to the earth, still holding in its grasp the broken branch of the tree. The tree had broken and let down, But the tree really had not, for what happened was the vine had fastened itself upon a dead branch, and that dead branch had broken, Had the vine reached the central trunk no storm would have

A ——

Note—Dr. Paul F. Elliott, general Sunday school secretary and youth director of the Pilgrim Holiness Church, wrote this “Sermon of the Week” for The Times, - ~~“ - torn it away or broked the trunk.” " » ” MANY START out with high aspirations and then they stop

at some dead branch and fasten themselves to that; but no mere resolution can hold anyone up amid the storms and the crises of life. Others

fasten themselves upon an institution, a church -a good thing, but not good enough to fasten one’s life upon. Neither rite nor ceremony will do; it will let you down In a crisis, Others fasten themselves upon a favorite minister and pin their faith to him. No man is good enough to be the center of one's faith; he may let one

down. Others fasten on ideas about God Instead of their acquaintance with God. Go clear to the central trunk -— God. 4 Life is after all what we make out of it. A blacksmith will take $5 worth of iron and make it into horse shoes worth $10. A watch maker will make it into springs for a watch and sell it for $10,000, It is not so much what you have as what you do with it, Your life is in your hands. You can make horse shoes, or watch springs. But make sure that life

crisis, i. There is a solution to every crisis in the following equation: Thought plus action, multiplied by prayer, equals success in any crisis,
