Many people who get off to a running start In the race of life come to a sudden halt at the first cross-roads. They haven't mapped out the route. Then, if they go on at all, they take the wrong fork and go the longest way around. When God made man He placed the head on high—at the top, whence man could have a proper perception of the universe. Man has been endowed with reason and understanding, with a mind and a soul with which to determine his judgment and guide his actions. Animals can be stampeded because they cane not reason. They go where they are driven. Their eyes are di- rected earthward—man’s toward Heaven.
