NEW FIRE HAZARD
PHOENIX, Ariz, (/P)—Firemen
flushed scores of rates extinguish
ing a trash blaze in a downtown
alley.
A mouse scurried up the trous
ers leg of fireman J. J. Jones. Off
came his boot and most of his
trousers before he could oust the
rodent.
“Now I know how an elephant
feels," said Jones.
IF YOU EVER TIE a string
around your finger in order to jog
your memory, you are using a de
vice similar to one of the earliest
known forms of “writing,” accord
ing to the Encyclopaedia Britan
nica. A messenger would carry a
notched stick with him on his er
rand, each notch signifying the
particular part of the message
given him at the moment the notch
was made.
E“Now is the accepted time—now
Eis the day of salvation"
E II Corinthians 6:2.
Now is the word of the moment. It has no reference to the
future; it does not convey the meaning of “after while”; it
knows nothing of the meaning of “procrastination”; it is not
in anywise related to “deferred action”; it is in no sense a part
of “tomorrow”; it cannot refer to “next week,” “next month,”
or “next year.” Jt is not yesterday; it is not the past hour, nor
past time in any degree. It is the present in which you live, the
time to act, to perform your task. It will be gone within the
moment, within the hour, never to return. Grasp it, seize upon
it; let it determine your action for time and eternity. What
ever you have to no, do it now.
