LOM11MIS FOR GOODNESS.
If There Is Within Us a Spirit of Evil
There Is Also a Spirit of Good.
"Receive yo the holy spirit." -
John x., `22.
There is in nearly all of us that
which frequently impels the com-
mission of acts we know to be un-
worthy, that against which we
soruetimes war and to which we of-
ten yield, a baser self. Every life
knows this inner compulsion. With
some the struggle is perpetually
keen and the power that drags
thein down seems to bo disastrously
puttent.
In the end it makes little differ-
ence to us whether tho opposing
powers are embodied in some omni-
potent personality, a sort of second
degree deity, or whether they be-
long in each ease to ourselves, ris-
ing within us. Faith in the devil
is a test of orthodoxy comforting
to souls that feel their need of a
scapegoat. But the attitude of each
sou} in the struggle is the real test.
This sense of a terrific struggle,
unending din, and wrestling back
paid forth sums up the religious
philosophy of some; it is the only
osepl they know. We are nut like-
ly to lose sight of its facts; wo know
its conflict too well. But we are in
danger of failing to see the other
side and of thinking of ourselves as
left almost helpless, to wage this
unequal welfare, alone. 'We picture
ourselves as lonesome es Christian
in "Pilgrim's Progress."
No heart normally is either pre-
empted or monopolized by evil. if
we would but recognize the facts
there are as ninny inpulsea to the
good as to the bad. If it is true
that when we would do good
EVIL IS PRESENT WITH US
is it not also true that when we
Would du ill then good is present
with us?
It may be convenient to lay our
greed and sloth, our unkindness
and crueLty, and all the evil acts
of life to the credit of the devil;
some folks have wonderful faith in
his baseness. But to whom or what
shall we credit, under such a sys-
tem of imputation, the longings for
goodness, the high motives, the
hunger for righteousness, and the
visions of high living that rise with-
in 1
Whence arise our aspirations for
self-mastery I Whence the passions
for purer living that have moved
great souls in all ages, whence our
willingness to forego pleasure, to
embrace pain, to sacrifioe, to toil
for no reward to ourselves, only
fur some ideal good, some benefit
to others"! Is there not within the
basest even some spirit of the good
and the divine 1
It is no use talking about having
faith in God unless wo have con-
fidence in goodness in roan. There
are to() rnauy who belive that all
sootiness dwells only in some other
world, far above the fogs and
storms of this sin blighted sphere;
some heaven there is that belongs
to God, but this sad world belongs
to the devij. Such a belief per-
petuates the sovereignty of evil.
We do not need to harass our
minds with subtleties as to the na-
ture and origin of any holy spirit ;
we do need to take hold of and
knit every power of our lives into
unison with every power of holi-
ness, of goodness, with every spirit
and motive in others or in our own
hearts that moves for
THINGS HIGH ANI) HOLY.
Without any theory as to the the-
ology involved may we not open our
lives to receive every spirit of good,
every holy desire and emotion
Perhaps our greatest need is faith
in the goodness in us and about us.
Only believe you are capable of
great and worthy things and you
have more than half attained to
them. According to your faith so
is it to you.
