THE UPWARD WAY.

THE way to heaven is upward. No one can travel it without effort. Men do not stumble into heaven, nor drift into righteousness and true holiness. Every one who repents and is converted and enters upon the way of life has a fixed purpose, a definite aim, and perseveres in his effort to realize his desire. It is impossible to pray aright without steady and sustained effort. True prayer lays a strain on the mind which many are not willing to endure. But if we ever see the King in His beauty we must conquer our tendency to faint, and persevere in prayer. “Strive to enter in at the strait gate.”—Selected.
