The successful business man declares: "To me to live is fortune.”
The unsuccessful says: "To me to live is toil and labor.”
The philosopher's aim: "To me to live is knowledge.”
The ambitious one declares: "To me to live is fame.”
What should be the ruling passion of the Christian young man or woman today? Does this voice ring out above all the voices of the world: "To me to live is not fortune, nor toil, nor knowledge, nor fame, nor glory—but Christ.”
Let Christ be first, last, everything, always and perpetually—Christ.
"Christ shall be magnified in my body... For me to live is Christ." Phil. 1:20, 21.
