This is a splendid motto for young men – “For another–No!” They have superb strength, God’s wonderful gift to them. Let them not waste it in sin, nor squander it in uselessness of any kind. Let it not wither and shrivel away, wrapped up in any napkins of non use. It is sacred, this marvelous strength that hides in our hands, in our brain, in our heart; it is part of God’s own life given to us. It is Divine. It should be used only in ways that will honour God. We should not answer every call to pour out our strength, nor draw our sword in every cause. We should keep our life sacred for our Master and for the cause that is dear to Him. Dr. Guthrie was fond of saying:
“I live for those who love me,
For those who know me true,
For the heaven that bends above me,
And the good that I can do;
For the wrongs that need resistance,
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do.”
