ood life in us.
Thus if we neglect real prayer, or do not seek the support of good
companionship, if we take no pains to live in a good atmosphere and
amidst good surroundings, if there is little of devout thought or
habitual worship in our life and still less of Holy Communion, if we thus
allow ourselves to drift out of the range of the higher moral and
spiritual influences, our vows are forgotten and our good purposes fade
away, our will becomes weak, and the world with all its temptations is
very likely to overcome us.
Feeling the infinite issues that hang on such considerations as these,
let us carry about with us the inspiring and invigorating call and the
promise contained in the text with which I began this sermon--"He that
overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall
be My son."
