Wie will now take up the honey
moon voyages we left on Point Dic-
cision last week, who, as soon as
they stepped ashore met a newly
married couple from their own coun
try. These had came over to the
Island in the magnificent steamer
“Luxury” and were looking for a
place to locate and begin life. Be
fore leaving home these latter were
the recipients of many costly and
valuable presents. Their wedding
was a swell affair .where many of the
wealthy people around were invited,
but none of their poor kin were there
—not invited. The families on both
side* were well pleased with the
“match.” Each thought the other had
done well, very well. This was by no
means the case with the other two.
Their courtship was an up-hill busi
ness. But their fove for each other
was intense a* well as determined.
The two couple met and talked
over their situations, and as they had
known each other in the home coun
try they were free to express them-
selves to each other.
In order to carry out the purpose
of this narrative will call the first
couple John and Mary and the other
Thomas and Martha. The first had
had a’perilous voyage and the last a
pleasant and safe one to thsr Island
of Hope. They are now on Point De
cision, from whence, within the next
few hours each couple was to take
the road to their future destination.
Only two roads met at the point One
sign board pointed towards the moun
tains and on It the sign: “Success
and happiness,” the other pointed
down the valley and toward a beau
tiful town with splendid flower gar
dens, magnificent buildings and well
shaded streets. On this they see the
sign: “Failure and disappointment.”
With each of them this was a, su
preme moment, as upon it depend
ed their fnture lives. They were all
strangers and knew nothing of the
country and its resources. The situa
tion was freely discussed. John and
Mary were poorly fitted up to begin
housekeeping while Thomas and Mar
tha! were well supplied with all the
necessary paraphernalia and plenty
of money to buy what they might need
to make themselves comfortable and
happy. They were rich.
John and Mary remembered that
the mountains were a great resort for
the Saviour when He was on the
earth—that he went thither to com
mune with His Farther, and besides,
they thought that it was the healthier
on account of its high elevation, so
they decided to go that way. Thom
as and Martha thought that the other
route would be better for them and
so here the couples separated.
We will now take up John and
Mary and follow them to their desti
nation, then we will go back and see
