j ■ Man is, in a large measure, master of
I his own life, maker of his own destiny.

jcorned with paltry ends. They strive,
jfor example, for material success, but
joften it brings them disappointment and
!ruin.
I josus watched a man following such an
1 ideal. Ho worked hard, added field to
j field and house to house* Me cultivated
Sh'is farm but neglected his faith, he
thought chiefly in terms of temporal
wealth. He had little spiritual wealth.

count to God.

It is well for us to ask. What are _ j
we living for? The aim shapes the life, j
just as the port determines the direc- i

purpose, then, are we devoting our time,!
our thought, our talents? What is our j
goal?
PRAYER j
0 God, our Father, Thou-hast bestowed | *
upon us unsearchable riches in Christ,.;.
Help us to put the claims of Thy King- j
dom in the forefront of all our striv- j
ing. Direct us as we seek to live for j
Christ and aspire after Christlikeness j
this day •
In His name, Amen,.
