Redeeming Lost Opportunities

ACCORDING to John R. Mott, in his address before the International Missionary Congress in Edinburgh, the neglect of past opportunities of the Christian church constitutes her great reproach. This doubtless is true as applied to the church as a whole, and to the individual members comprising the church body; but what a blessed thing it is that if the past has been marked by failure, God affords us the privilege of redeeming it, of buying back the opportunity! Regret for past failure will be of no avail unless it shall lead us to faithful improvement of present and future opportunities.
