NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE
” Our>.&iffieu}ty is,.-this,” said . Sir Richard? l ! Livingstone, ■ president of Corpus Christ! College, Oxford, In a recent address. “In every crisis one., sees the : danger, the discouraging features; the ,inconveniences and evils of the moment, certain or probable; and all'this-'., negative element, .takes hold of. the; mind and fills it and one sees nothing else. And one-.does not see the Positive element, the good thins which “is at stake, .the cause Which ig entrusted';..to-us ahd .Which.- if w.e abandon - it, loses , its defenders. And that is o’Ur danger. We, are not doßiinated enough by the good. We lose sight oft it, -in the storm.; The remedy is to dwell i,bh lit/ to realise ‘tl. and to hold-ltP it! notv td allow .the waves, however threatening, to distract the bye from the compass and the chart. That is faith.”
