brings them to the surface. These are the conditions of success. Give a man power and a field In which to use it and lie must accomplish something, lie may not do and become all that he desires and dreams of. but his life cannot be a failure. You seldom hear of men complain of want of ability. The most unsuccessful think that they could do great things if they only had a chance. Somehow or other something or somebody has been in the way. Providence has hedged them in so that they could not carry out their plans. They knew just how to get rich but they lacked the opportunity. The trutli is, the Almighty has given to all of us ability and opportunities enougti to enable us to be moderately successful. If we fail, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it is our own fault. We neglect to improve the ability given us or the door that is opened for us. A (though opportunities are continually rising many are put aside and when it is too late we wish we had taken advantage of them. When a person neglects a few of these greatest ones, however small they may seem at the time, lie is like a man who takes the wrong road when several meet, the further he goes the worse he fares. A man’s opportunities usually have some relation to his ability. It is an opening for him to use what he has, faithfully and to the utmost, it requires toil, self-denial and faith. If he says: “I am worthy of a higher position than it offers:” or,“I won’t work as hard and economize as closely as the opportunity demands,” he may in after years, see the folly of his pride and indolence. There are many people all over the world who dream of success and yet they scorn such opportunities as .1. I). Rockefeller and Commodore Vanderbilt improved. They want to begin, not as those men did at the bottom of the ladder, but half way up. They want somebody to give them a lift, or carry them up in an airship, so that they can avoid the early and arduous struggles of the majority of those that have been successful. No wonder that such men fail and then complain of Providence. Grumbling is usually a miserable pastime that people resort to to drown the reproaches of conscience. They know that they have been foolish, but they try to persuade themselves that they have been unfortunate. L»H
