Choosing Associates.
A man may choose as the toy of
an hour, a woman unworthy of the
sweet name of woman, because
she has dishonored it, and he may
for a time keep her company, but
few if any choose such for life
companions. When a man wants
a wife, a life companion, he seeks
for one who is pure in life and
habits All too often men un
worthy the name of manhood find
companions from among the pur
est and sweetest of women, and
make life a hell for them. But
surely, such things could be ac
complished only by deceit—no
sane woman would make such a
mistake purposely.
But how many about us in the
world are making a mistake just
as awful and far reaching as that!
How many choose drunkards and
debauchees for companions with
the purpose of keeping such com
pany for all eternity? If a man
is satisfied to go through life with
no effort for education, he can not
expect to have educated people
for associates. If he is satisfied
with uncouth manners and per
sonal filthiness, he cannot expect
the cleanest and most refined peo
pie to assoaiate with him. Neither
can a man reasonably expect to
keep the company of filthy souled
people all through this life and
then mix among God’s redeemed
ones in eternal climes for all
eternity. People who are hoping
for heaven while yet associating
with wicked allies of the Devil in
this life, are hoping without any
reason for hope. According to the
teaching of the Word, humans
must choose here their associates
for eternity, and fit themselves for
the conditions they expect for that
future existence —Selected.
