Signs of the Times

with contributions from Canon Donaldson, R. O. Lawton

[From the American Mutual Magazine, Boston, Massachusetts]

Nothing creates so much confusion in life as the inability to discern between the fundamental motives of different lives. Acts which are identical in appearance are often so widely separated in motive that they are entirely blameworthy in one instance and praiseworthy in the other.

The ambitious man desires advancement, wealth, and influence, because these things contribute to some purpose apart from the growth of his own character; because these are so many keys with which he proposes to unlock the treasures of life, although when these treasures are within his hands, he has no thought about their use except a selfish one.
