The Investment of Influence

CHAPTER XIV
3/35

Memory is a granary holding seed for to-morrow's sowing; memory is an armory holding weapons for to-morrow's battles, memory is a medicine-chest with balms for to-morrow's hurts; memory is a library with wisdom for to-morrow's emergency.

Yesterday holds the full store of to-day's civilization, contains our tools, conveniences, knowledges; contains our battlefields and victories; above all gives us Bethlehem and Calvary.

But alone man's yesterday is impotent; his to-morrow insufficient.

The true man binds all his days together with an earnest, intense, passionate purpose.

His yesterdays, to-days and to-morrows march together, one solid column, animated by one thought, constrained by one conspiracy of desire, energizing toward one holy and helpful purpose, to serve man and love God.
God governs man through the regency of hope.
