ONE has not learned to live until he is possessed of some convictions for which he is ready to die. Yet the conviction-possessed man is rare. Many people seem to think that convictions are only for unbalanced souls. "I know some good friends," says Dr. A. C. Dixon, "whose deepest conviction is that you oughtn't to have any conviction." Such people make about as much headway in life as a boat without a rudder. It is better to have wrong convictions than no conviction at all; for the man who conscientiously and passionately holds true to a wrong conviction, is likely to find out his mistake some day, and substitute a right one, as the persecutor Saul did; while the man without any conviction does not even know enough to know that he is wrong. What are your convictions? Are you living true to them? And were they given to you by Christ Himself?—S. S. Times.
