Built to Overcome Obstacles

JACK had been sent on an errand, runs the story, and he came to a fence across the lane that he traveled. “I am put here to stop boys,” said the fence; “you must turn back or go around.” “But I am built to climb fences,” responded Jack, and he went over the fence and on his way. Fortunate Jack! He had come to have a clear-cut conviction of what he was built for—to overcome obstacles, not to be daunted and delayed by them. Have we all learned what he knew? Obstacles are sure to appear in the way; but man was not built to go back or to go around, but to go over or through them. Difficulties in the way of your church work, of your Christian life?—Certainly; but you were built to overcome them.—Presbyterian Advance.
