The Prize of the High Calling
The great men of the world have trouble about their honors. This is because that in most of the world's races, no matter how many may enter, only one can win. Ever since the naval battle between the Spanish and American squadrons off Santiago, Cuba, there has been a warm contention as to whether Sampson or Schley is entitled to the credit of the victory. The result is that an official investigation is now being held. If these two great men were giving their undivided energies in the race for “the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus,” there would be no such controversy as that in which they and their friends have been engaged. Both could have a part in the honor attached to that Name that is “above every name.” Fruitless indeed are all these contentions for corruptible crowns.
