13 Accomplishment! What do you think of when you think of accomplishment? To a little child perhaps it is being able to balance on its two chubby little legs in the centre of a play-pen for a few brief seconds without holding on to the sides. To an older child, perhaps coasting down hill for a whole block on a bicycle without falling, or building an airplane that took first prize in the Glider Club contest is accomplishment. To a young person, it could be winning the Provincial Scholarship for an outstanding literary work, or could it be increasing the carburation on his 1948 model to the point where it has 20 percent more power and at least 30 percent more take off” than anything else in its class.

Through out history mankind has invariably been dissatisfied with existing conditions. He has kept his vision to the future for better things. Beloved, let us, God s chosen vessels, not be satisfied with our present accomplishments, but press toward also. What the world needs is Jesus, Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord-
