“Evil is not an enemy, but a friend. Its purpose is to bring out the best that is in us. We ought to regard it as a champion regards his coach, a pupil bis teacher. To the careless eye the trainer is the enemy of the athlete, a brutal master, a capricious tyrant. But the athlete knows the trainer liis friend, and his best friend, indispensable to the attainment of his ideal. Again, evil is like the adversary in a game of skill, who opposes every move you make, is always with you and always against you, but the whole pleasure of the game, the whole pride of your victory, depend upon that presence and antagonism. Without him the game is not, the victory is impossible.”—“Life’s Beautiful Battle,” by J. W. Lloyd.
