PENNOYER “Go to the ant thou sluggard, consider her ways and be wise.” Proverbs 6:6. : Why of all God’s creatures does the writ- er choose the ant for us to consider? Are not these small insects found in most regions, thus we are acquainted with their habits. The ant, though one of the smallest of God's creatures, is very industrious. It not only makes provis- ion for the present but also for the future. The Bible recoras the story of the man who had two sons, one desirous of freeing himself from parental restraint asked for his share of the inheritance and left home. For a time everything went well. However we read in the account these sad words — “And when he had spent all he began to be in want.”” He had enjeyed the present without a thought about the future. ? In these days of plenty there seems to be the desire to spend. Many times the pay cheyue 1s :pent tefore being received. When retirement or sickness causes one to stop work many sad cases are cited — they have spent all and have nothing fer the future or the time of urgent need. Is this not true of multitudes today, liv- ing for the day but no spiritual preparation © for the future — eternity. ; Luke 12 relates the story of the rich far- mer who because of his abundant harvest was being forced to tear down his barns and build . greater ones. His attitude of eat, drink and be merry was scon interrupted by the voice of the aaa: tonight thy soul shall be re- a] en whose shall those things h thou hest provided?” So is he that layeth up treasure for hi and is not rich toward God. woe F Consider your ways and “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things shall be added unto you.”" gained their wings and were ready ‘to fly into Guides, where | the Brownie emblem, to the girls Mrs. Bro the Guide Captain wel-] for their attendance and to all comed them.
