Choosing And Making Decisions This is something; we all have to <io and it is of vital importance what we choose and the decisions we make. Beginning at the creation, when Mother Eve chose and decided for Satan instead of the Almighty, eat ing the forbidden fruit which God commanded, say&hg. "Ye shal not eat thereof, neither shall ye touch it least ye. die." But she obeyed the serpent and disobeyed God. causing the fall of mankind. What a sad and terrible choice and decision, the bitter . harvest of her evil' sowing has been reaped all down the ages and will continue through all time and eternity. And to the woman He said. "1 will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception.' And unto Adam He said. * Because thou hast hearken ed unto the voice of thy wife and hast oaten of the tree of which I com manded th. urn Thou ifnlt not oat of it. cursed i< the gro.und for thy sake.- in sbrrow shalt thou eat of it all U*e days of thy life, in the sweat of thy facc shout thou eat bread, " Another -Bible* character I will men tion who made ah .unwise decision; "And liot dwelt in the cities, of the | >lain and pitclied A\i* u?jit toward Sodom and here among tlYis adulter ous. .and- idolatrous and degraded \>eople ho 'lost a part oT his family* The l-ord ;<<>nt angels t o warn him, to | flee for his. life, that fie wpiild de sthiy that wicked city.

The I Book tells u? when Ik was of age he relused.' :a be called the. son of Pha roah'v daughter, choosing rather to.-i Mitferthe afflfotio.ir withjthe children" of God. rathet than enjoy the pleas ures of sin for a .season. A very short, season if the people, who. have ! craae and thirst for a so called good I time. They may get the- evil. lolly 1 and pleasure tney see*. both In the fountain of dangerous and degrad ing pleasure. This will soon be past and they will come to the reaping of the bitter harvest of their evil sow ing. which may go on through eter nity. Truly sin deceives votaries. This earthly life is short and we fade and fall like a leaf. It Is wrtttten of Moses that he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the kind, for he had .recompense of reward and en dured as seeint Him who Is invisible. Reared hi all pomp and splendor, luxury and wickedness ul the Egyp ; tian palace, yet this did . not taint or corrupt him. Intensely patriotic, he still possessed love sympathy and re spect for other people, especially his poor, oppressed and enslaved breth | ren. the Israelites, and by the power of God Anally delivered them from Egyptian bondage What a great, criterion, model and pattern. Another ijreat prophet of worthy ! artiivements. the Divine woi-d relates. was a man who had the courage of j his convictions, "the moral and sprit- i nal convictions in Israel was a very ! tearing the wrath of the king, fori he bald "The children of Israel have) low e?b. Adultery was rampant and i broken they covenant, thrown down thy altars, slain thy prophets with the sword and even I only am left and they seek my life to take It away." Such deplorable conditions grieved the prophet Elijah. It -should every true christian today. He was one of the bravest of the brave and chose | the good part and made the wise de- j clslon and stood up for Ood and I righteousness. though surrounded : with wickedness and opposed by the four hundred and fifty false proph ets. How beautiful and how power- 1 Jul his light shown. In the midst of < heathen gloom and darkness. So lot j us consider the peace, honor . and happiness of makiug the right and wise choice and decisions and the i folly of choosing evil and making de grading decisions. If we will make . the right choice and decisions in the little things" of every day life, es- 1 pecially when we are young, it Willi be easy lor us to choose and decide wisely In greater and more important things. Sell control with honor and achlevment. or self indulgence, self gratification with disgrace and de struction. Take your choice, serpent of the marsh or master of the for est. We are architects of pur own life building. Choice und decision, determine destiny. Thad. K. Jones. Land Sale ? / ? ? - On Saturday. Oct. 29th, 1827.
