forts, pleasures and luxuries of life
abounded there.
On the other hand, Jerusalem was
only ruin. There were none of the
comforts of home. even of the old
home that their fathers used to know.
Business opportunities would be
slight, and agricultural opportunities
less. Robbers and hostile armies both
were to be feared. Every man who
went back would be taxed severely
in purse. body and mind for the re-
building project.
That sort of reasoning would have
kept Abraham in the prosperous city
of Ur of the Chaldees; and the Pill
gram Fathers in Holland. 1t was the
old, old choice that was offered the
exiles. They could have the best at
high price. Up in Judea awaited
various hardships-but also the pure
worship of God. They had to make
choice between the material and the
spiritual. Sentiment and spirituality
called them back to the old home,
where they could honor Jehovah, by
the restoration of his pure worship
upon Mount Zion. Personal ease and
profit bade them remain in Babylon.
One out of six chose the better part;
1t is eternal wisdom to seek the free
dom and growth of the soul. and to
put the concern of the spirit above
the concerns of the body.
