Having Helps the Getting
Mark 4:25
For he that has, to him shall be given: and he that has not, from him shall be taken even that which he has.


Having one language helps the gaining of another. Having mathematics helps the getting of science. Capital tends to gather more wealth. "Nothing succeeds like success." One victory leads the way to another. The knowledge of one truth ever opens the mind for perception of another. Grace to do one good act opens the heart to admit grace to do another. If but a beginning is made, it is an immense assistance to attainment. If converted, do not undervalue the infinite importance of the beginning thus made. But remember, at the same time, that none can keep grace except on the condition that he employs it. Whatever knowledge of truth, whatever feeling, whatever power of obedience you possess, you will lose unless you employ it.

(R. Glover.)
