Expect To Make Mistakes
The fear of making mistakes keeps many
a person in the "Neither-ncr"; class* The
fear of these lukewarm followers of
Christ is not based on devotion to a
cause, but rather on selfish fright, on
a l>what will people think?”
"The galleries are full of critics"
stated the Pittsylvania Star some time
ago* "They play no ball. They fight no
fights* They make no-mistakes because
they attempt nothing. Down in the arena
are the doers. They make mistakes because
they attempt many things.
"Ford forgot to put reverse gear into
his first automobile. Edison ore; spent
two million dollars on an invention
which proved little value.
"The man who makes no mistakes,...is
the one who never tries anything. He is
the brake on the wheel of progress. And
yet it cannot be truly said he makes no
mistakes, because the biggest mistake
is the very fact that he tries nothing,
does nothing but criticize those who do
things."
Continued next column...
These who are "doers" must expect to
make errors. But these errors are due
to human imperfections. They know that
the Lord understands-that He blesses
those who try, no matter what the conse
quences.
"... because thou art lukewarm, and
neither hot nor cold, I am about to
vomit out of my mouth." (Apocalypse 3:1$
