From our Exchanges

W. R. INGE with contributions from CHARLES S. MACFARLAND

To rest satisfied with any attainment is to contradict the deepest law of life. Rest, even in its true sense, as unimpeded activity, is not for us while we live in time; for the Lord of life himself found none, but perpetual struggle. If we are not always rising on stepping-stones of our dead selves to higher things, we are not living our true life. No limit can be fixed for our upward progress, it seems to be infinite; for this must be what St. Paul means when he makes the goal of our journey "the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ." Meanwhile, we must die daily, as he puts it, "crucifying the old man," and putting on the new man, "which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."
