EPPS'S QRATEFU L— COMFORTING OCOA " The Valley of Decision."— Joel iii. 14. Children have a strange way of mixing up things, and when I was a little lad I connected these words with a place in the far west of this country. Away out on those wild cliffs, with the fierce Atlantic rolling in upon them, there is a valley which came to be in my mind a sort of Valley of Decision. There was a little stream hurrying on ; here, spreading out into a broad pool— there, narrowed into a swift river : but always and everywhere hastening away to the great sea. Is not that just like our life 1 Hurrying away, always, everywhere, to that great sea, Eternity. Day and night, working and resting, life hurrying on. How are we going 1 Where is our life going ? The Valley of Decision is a place of sober thought. Circumstances connected with this valley suggested to me danger and deliverance — it was a place of solemn warning ; but these suggestions of thought, danger, de- liverance, and warning will not make it a Valley of Decision. It needs one thing more. In such a valley it may have been the prodigal had led the swine, near to such a steep place by the sea. He had much sober thought. Hunger, and want, and friendlessness make a man think. He thought about his folly, and his home, and his Father'* love, and that the servants had enough and to spare. But see ! he springs to his feet. Bare- footed, ragged, perishing with want, he says, " I will arise and go to my Fai her." Then it is tho Valley of Decision. So people live for years in this valley of sober thought and solemn warning, but they don't make it a Valley of Decision. You perhaps have thought of God reverently, said your prayers morning and night, listened to the Word, and yet have never made up your mind to love Jesus and serve Him. Ttiough you may have said, " I will arise and go to Him," yet you have never got up and come. You have never flung yourself down before Him, crying, " Lord, have mercy upon me ! I want to be Thine. Take me, make mi; as one of Thy hired servants." You have never made it the Valley of Decision. We must make up our minds to do it. Men make up their minds about everything else and do it; but about this, men go hoping, and desiring, and think- ing, but never deciding— about this, the most important of all. Be undecided about everything else, if vou like, but get this settled. Let us say it now—" I will, by God's help, I will." FROST I FROST I PREVENT COLD AND COUGHS!
