and others into eternal damnation.
Since this is true, it behooves each of
us to ask: which way will our soul 30,
oh, which way will it go, to the heavens
above or the regions below Friends,
have you decided which way your soul
shall go?"
If we look back over the past and be-
gin to count our blessings one by one,
can we, pot see that the Lord is good
and His, mercy endureth forever? 1t
matters not how mean, how negligent
how careless we have been to ourselves,
to our friends, to our foes and to our
God, we can but say THE LORD Is
GOOD TO US. Let us pray that the
coming holiday season and the new year
will find us true to our God and true
to our fellowman.
