THE DEVIL'S PATENT.
I have no sympathy, no patience with those who say the young should not be ambitious, writes Dr. G. Campbell Morgan in his new book, “The Simpler Things of the Christian Life.” They ought to dream dreams, and see visions and climb mountains and fight battles, and strive for success. God so made them. But the enemy comes and says: See, that is a rough and rugged road to the temple of fame. That is a hard and difficult hill. You will be long years toiling up it. Come with me, and I will show you a short cut. Know that voice for the Devil’s own. He is the prime inventor and patentee of short cuts. The man who would be rich by a short cut is devil-led, find him where you will.
