Are We Willing for the World to Know Us?
Are we willing for tfie world t» i
know us" is a question which w«
n.ijrht find profit in studying.
Certainly, we can hide from our
friends and from our enemies many j
of our deeds. But when it comes Ui
t.od, it can not be dome, because w»
Ktand before God's camera every mln- '
ute of our lives. We can turn neith
e r to the right nor to the left with
out making a perfect picture of the
pet for the use of the angels in the
judgment. It is even so' with the
things we say. The record is made
with such perfection that it will bt
sung for or against us in the judg
ment. Even our very thoughts are
jr.scribed in the pages of the boot
i f life and death.
It seems reasonable to think lhat
many people do not seem to care ,
what happens at and after deathj ,
they are apparently indifferent> j
doub'.less because the date of the J
judgment is indefinite, and thought to J
I.e. a long way off.
{Jut the same folks that care least
for the final judgment care most for !
tie present judgment. They dodge!
from the true testimony of their
lives worse than any oither classes.
They would not have the world know
about their daily walk and talk for
anything. They are always dodging
u showdown and trying to shielo
themselves "from the light.
How would we all feel tomorrow
if we were called to march alone
down the main street with all of our
neighbors and friends lined up to tes
tify of the things we have done ami
••aid and thought? Would we fee.
comfortable, or would we feel stub
born and sore because the record of
our lives were opened to the world?
Yet every man and every woman
is expected to keep the laws of God,
the country, and of social decency j
;;nd modesty, that his or her record j
v.ill stand the fiery test of truth on
tlie daily balance sheet, when all tJli
testimony is ip. The folks who think
they can break every law of de
cency, social, political, and religious,
j-nd go through the world with a bold j
front will certainly come to a
some day where the books are open
and speak the truth. The witness
may be the poor beast; it may be
the poverty stricken person who has
had to pay too much tribute; i' maj
be the drunkard to whose lips you
have pressed the cup; it may the sow
jind the daughters whom we have
failed to eare for with the full meas-

One of the thing* we can nevei
hope to escape us the witnesses. Those
who know us best will doubtless tell
the mont, because they see and hear
most.
It is strange that man will do his
best to push the evil day off when
it is his duty to meet it quickly ano
improve it. We should remwftber
that "as we sow, sow shall we reap,
and we all know "tihe wages of sin
is death." With such knowledge,
why should we kick when the search
light is turned on and the dark spot*
in our lives are bared to the human
-view. It is the unrighteous that fuai
the law. Tlie righteous haave no fear
of the condemnation of the testi
mony. "lie sure your sins will firm
you out."

Things 10*£
hink About
By JAMES D. TAYLOR
GOING TO CHURCH
As I write this, I am in that sec
tion of the country where the water
*is unusually high. In a nenr-by State
a call has been made for help. The
levee gave way to the powerful wa
ter and caused a large number of
people to seek dry land. The levee
near where 1 now sit is expected to
break. God grant that it may not.
There were not as many people at
church this morning as is usually
the case, and it was said that many
people stayed home fearing that at
any hour their homes might be filled
water.
Di 1 they help matters b.v not going
to t-ic house of God? Where can
comfort and help be more readily ob
tain* d than in a house filled with
those who come to offer thanks and
ask for help? Many of those who
did not attand church today will go
to their regular place of business on
tomorrow. There are very few things
that keep people away from business.
Yet the smallest things serves for an
excuse to stay away from church on
Sunday.
On the first day of the week, re
gardless of local conditidi.s, let us
say to ourselves and to those about
us, "let us go into the House of the
lx>rd." You will find comfort there,
more than you would at home or any
other place, if down deep in your
heait you love J'.'sus and know that
daily and hourly you need His pres
ence.
"Ask the Saviour to help you.
Comfort, strengthen and keep you
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you though."
