WORTHY CONSIDERATION.
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."
