The story is told of a young man whose success in life was due to the fact that on one occasion when it became necessary for someone who was posted in the busi ness with which he was connected' to make an important journey, his grip was packed and ready. It had been packed for months in anticipation of just such an emergency, so that he needed only two minutes for his preparations. The case is not an unusual one, the only difference being in the application. It is the ready who rise. Opportunity never comes to the unprepared, for to them it is not opportunity. It does not matter what capabilities are dormant in your nature. Talents wrapped in a napkin are of little advantage to anyone. You must be ready when thechance comes, if you are to seize it and compel it to lift you toward the goal of your aspiration. Young People's Weekly. "I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing 1 can do to a fellow-being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again."
