Every noble soul admires a purpose, even in a little boy. A little fellow was killed in San Francisco not long ago by falling from a high fence in his hurry after the school bell had rung. His skull was fractured by the fall. One of his purposes was never to be late to school, and his last words were, "Am I in time for school?" Of what far greater importance is it that men shall make the great moral questions of life their purpose; the great soul-absorbing principles that shall control them in all their actions and all their plans. We may fail in earth's enterprises from one end of life to the other and still make moral success.
Sometimes in the wrestle with greed honest men are bound to fail, but we can so hold to the moral purpose of serving God, being true to Him, that in that last great reckoning day the purpose thru Him will have triumphed and eternal success will be achieved.
