The Grasp of Opportunity
2 Samuel 5:25
And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until you come to Gazer.


Writing an article on Social Economy especially in reference to wages and industrial progress, Professor Atkinson says: "The man who had the shrewdness and capacity to seize the opportunity afforded by recent science and invention had made progress, wealth, success. While from him who had not the foresight or mental aptitude to adjust himself to the new conditions, had been taken away even the opportunity for common labour which he enjoyed before."
