THE ONLY WAY TO RISE.

OPPOSITION is an aid to him who is in God's service. A hindrance is in many a case a help. Progress is made in every-day life by encountering and surmounting barriers. It is thus that one mounts, step by step, a lofty flight of stairs, or that one climbs to a lofty mountain summit. Father Tabb emphasizes this truth in the use of a familiar figure, when he says:—

"Resistance to its pinions light Uplifts the bird in airy flight. Resistance to the wingèd soul Uplifts it to the lofty goal."

Let us thank God for the help He gives us heavenward in the obstacles which He summons us to surmount.—Sunday School Times.
