BE PREPARED
A prominent banker was just
about to sign an application
for a large insurance policy
when suddenly he hesitated#
"On second thought," he said,
"I believe I'd better give
this matter some further con
sideration. Leave the data
with me and come back in a
week*"
i ill! "Very well," said the in
i /^*> £~ ' 7 .
#i surance agent. "But I v/ish
1| || you would sign the memoran
!f K dum for me®" With that, the
agent held out his busines
card, on the back of which he had v/ri
ten out, "I agr'-e to be alive and well
one week from today.”
" I can’t sigh such an agreement!"
the banker exclaimed when he read the
words. "How do I know I’ll be alive?"
Hardly were the words out of his mouth
(Continued next column )
to -P
when his expression changed as the mean
ing of his own words struck him. He hes
itated a moment, then he quietly said:
"Give me the application. I'll sign it."
Mono of us know how long we will live.
Often we have to be reminded tha t we
know not the day or the hour when etern
ity will begin for us. It is so easy to
forget that our life hangs by a thread,
a thread that sooner or later must be
broken. While we still have life we have
an opportunity to leave the world a little
better than we found it.
Therefore, frequently we ought to re
flect on our final goal, that being pos
sessing God for all eternity. Since the
Gospel tolls us: "3e thou also ready:
for at what hour you think not, the Son
of man will come," _Luke 12:40. We
ought to be always prepared to meet Him
by living according to His lav/. If we
keep God’s law, it will keep us on the
road to eternal happiness.
