DECISION.

"I can't decide," says the raindrop as it comes down, "whether I will fall on .the meadow, or in the garden among .me flowers, or out on the wide ocean. I can't make up my mind." " I can't decide," says the streamlet as it rushes out of the mountain, " whether I will flow toward the great river yonder, or whether I will go straight clown the valley and into the sea at once." " There is plenty of time for me," says a young girl as she comes away from the Bible-class on Sunday afternoon. " Teacher wants us to decide at once, but surely there is no hurry. I must think about it some day I know ; but not now ; I can't decide." £< #• But the raindrop comes on, and so does the streamlet ; while they are hesitating they are coming on, on, somewhere. Presently it is too late to choose. They would not decide in time, and now it is no use deciding. They have gone too far ; they cannot change their courses now. Take care, young people ! take care, boys and girls ! Your life is just like that fall* ing raindrop, just like that rushing stream. You do not decide the way your life shall go, but all the time it is going on. Is it going toward heaven ? Have you thought ? Will you not decide at once which way it will go ? If you do not choo&e now, the time may soon come when you cannot choose.
