Air-Ship Powers

By S. S. Times

THERE is no power more enviable than that of being able to rise above the things that would keep us down. Air-ships fascinate us, for they will enable us literally to get up among the clouds, where there will be nothing to remind us of the worries that we would fain forget, as there is practically everywhere on this vexatious earth. But that is quite unnecessary to the Christian, if he is living up to the privileges of Christianity. "Religion" means "binding back" to God, and it does this by breaking the wearisome fetters of the world's gravitation, and giving us the freedom of the upper air. Every true Christian is an aeronaut, a detached being. The globe revolves beneath his feet. The Spirit of God is within him, and he also goes where it listeth him to go. There are few deeper tests of a man than his ability, or lack of ability, to rise above his worries.—S. S. Times.
