( Wrong decisions lead TO wrong ac-
| tions. The world IS full OF sin and
vice because Of wrong decisions
! Highway robbery is caused by wrong
( decisions Many of the divorce cases

somebody did not decide right. De
cision whether right or wrong is

admired then a manly firmness and
decision of character.
1T takes a manly decision 10 be
o real follower of Jesus Christ Not
/ because Christ is a hard task master

( the love Of God and His goodness
/ especially in providing q plan OF
salvation IN His Son Jesus Christ
many would take on a different at
titude toward God in serving Him
! and that in mind this old world
would be a better place to live IN
and there would be no fear of the
/ future.
There IS nothing that IS worth
while that can be done by any one
! without a decision Man decides his
4 future destiny. II takes a long
time for some folks TO work out
their right calling in life but it can

can be done
This world is called the valley of
decision because in Il we must de-
| eide between God and sin. There
are multitudes in the valley OF de-
cision today AS a man decides in
his life so he will be in the here
after. Judgment Is bound 60 come
to US all when the whole frame of
nature will be dissolved.
7The greatest thing to do in this
world is 10 decide for God All OF
us today are deciding between God
and sin, heaven and eternal ruin
the happy life of a Christian or the
life which cannot have any thing
else in IL but sorrow. 1t all de-
pends upon our decision. Every one
must decide for himself.
