• A despatch from London says: -It

the earthquake of seven centuries ago,
they were not actually discovered to
be serious until just before the wax,

Decisions.
Though a man's'mind, it was said
long ago, may tell him more than
seven wise men in a tower, there is a
fnystery to us all in the workings of
that mind. ' When we say that we
have a hard time snaking up our
minds, what does it mean? It means
we weigh plus and "minus,^pro and
con, es Robinson .Crusoe did when he
was trying to decide if he was glad
or sorry that he; was alive. We admire
decision of character; we applaud
time() who reach a conclusion, and are
prompt to act upon it,'. But thereis
nothing admirable in the procedure of
those who do not wait to learn the
facts before they come to a• conclusion.
A prompt decision may be wzong; it
does not follow that it is ' correct
merelybecause it is instantaneous.
What is the use of swift thinking if
it is erroneous thinking? Why should
a,fnan receive credit for rapid mental
processes when the° processes are
fundamentally unsound?
Itwill pot de to avoid errors of
judgment by evading all responsibility
and shifting the burden of decision
to others forever. Sooner or later we
must make up our minds, Life is a
series of choices and chances accepted
or refused. We look: back and we

viding of the pathway we went to the
