The speed of modern life tempts us to
think of our goals and to forget the im-
portance of a single step. But the men
who scale the highest peaks concentrate
on one step at a time*
There seem to be plenty of folks with
noble aspirations who rarely go to Church.
Some of them may reach their goals; but
legion are the others whose “one false step"
starts an avalanche of broken hopes.
The steady, sincere, every-Sunday
church-goer usually has noble aspirations
and a far better, chance of achieving them I
He has learned to study each step bjr faith
and prayer ... to test the ground on which
he treads ... to climb with others in a com-
mon quest of the summits of life.
Destiny depends on the next step!
