OUR worst temptations we usually expect to conquer a little later on in life. It seems too much to expect that we should master them now, while their appeal to us is so intense. But if Christ's power is worth anything, it must show its worth in this immediate present. And if our faith in Christ is faith at all, it must work to the uttermost now. There are some temptations that may, through the passing years and the changes in our interests, lose their force and drop away from us without much effort on our part. Small credit to us if we conquer them then! "I want to win now, while it is hard," said a young Christian business man as he set himself to the conquering of a temptation, in the spirit in which he would go after a business contract that looked hopeless. To-morrow's victory is not of much value to-day; nor has it the value it ought to have even for to-morrow, if it ought to have been won to-day. Let us claim the best that God can give us, now, while it is hard. God postpones many of our blessings, but it is never His will that victory over temptation should be delayed by an instant.—S. S.
