A DAILY MESSAGE
ENVIRONMENT. Ann you in a wrong environment? Then resist or go under for a wrong environment can paralyse the soul that does not fight. It can stifle all aspirations which do not insist on breathing. A wrong environment can rot even the. great of their greatness, unless they are robust enough to withstand their enrivonment. The soul that would be free must escape from a wrong, environment as from a prison, or struggle sturdily to overcome it. We csin overcome it, though—nothing is more certain. If your enrivonment is narrow, sound its depth, delve for the bidden treasures they are there. It it is cramped, look beyond it; search the heights lor the stars—they, too, are there. • If it is stony, barren, and unfruitful, go out to the far and fruitful valleys, and bring hack to it the ndin'islunent which will sustain you during barren, times. You were meant to l>e greater than your environment, and if it be dark, dull, unproductive, or cramped, remember, we are all capable of rising superior to a wrong enrivonment.
