WEARING AWAY THE STONE.
There is an old legend -which says that the Evil One was at one time to be de prived of all his power to tempt man, but that he pleaded so bard to be left just one weapon of attack that he was handed discouragement, 'with the thought that it would not prove very effective alone, but it was discovered afterwards that in it he had kept nearly all his power of deadly attack upon the human soul. The legend comes very closely home to human experience- So long as the star of hope burns brightly men can fight any opposition or endure any hardship, but let a temptation to discouragement slide in by fjoma back door-of the soul, and how soon does courage falter and faith weaken and fine endeavour cease! And it usually is by gome back door that discouragement comes, ?> ; ding in when no on© is looking and who* Ujeeo seems- a<* r-mm JfZi to , fifiiaa|
