Decisions

Decisions
Choose you this day whom we
Will serve but as for me and
my house, We will serve the Lord
Joshua 24:l5.
Around New Years Day we often
make decisions concerning what we
are gong to do and be in the coming
year. But every day is decision day.
A thousand times a day we are call
ed on TO decide n thing or another.
Where we go, what we wear and eat,
what we do and say-all these are
the results of decisions.
some decisions are more important
than Others, of course. Some carry
with them a whole flock of results
while others are comparatively tri-
vial The greatest decision we are
ever called upon to make is the de-
clslon as to whether we will serve
God or mammon.
joshua as he neared the close of
ms NE called together the children
OF israel and set before them the al
~ternatives of serving the gods their
fathers served in Egypt or the gods
OF the Amorites, or of serving Jeho-
yah. Joshua and all his family chose
to serve the Lord and all the people
said. I'VE will serve the Lord"
Today we must decide whether we
Will serve as our master, the demon
sin and reap the consequences, cor
ruption and death, or whether we
will serve self and seek plasure, fame
and riches, or whether we will deny
self and serve Christ. His is a glori-
u service and it brings rich and
| abundant reward.
Today is the day of decision. The
way of blessing in the service of God
and to the way of the curse of sin
lie ahead. Which way will you take?
Only in the service of Christ is there
true joy and peace. Choose you this
day whom you will serve"

Golf Tournament
By the Assoeiofsd Press

WICHITA, Kans., June 29.-De-
Tending Champion Marvin (Bud)
Ward went after his third medal
today in the Western Amateur Golf
Associations Tournament.
The Pacific Coast player wasn't
expected, however, to make much
headway in today's opening play
toward the al Medal score he shot
for the SO holes of qualifying play
in last summers tournament at Des
Moines.
Twelve successive days of rain had
the 6,740-yard par-7l Wichita Coun-
try Club course playing good 1000
yards or better. So heavy and
muddy was the course that special
rules permitted a player to improve
his lie on both the fairway and the
rough.
Eighteen holes of qualifying play
was on schedule today. An addi-
tional 18 will be played tomorrow
with the low "a shooters beginning
match play Thursday morning. The
championship will be settled in a
36-hole match next Monday.
