B Y A L T H E A S . M I L L E R “U" a m a g ir l 11 years of age. I have -I*- brown hair, brown eyes, and am about 4 ft. 11 inches tall. “ At school my attitude is nicer than my attitude at home. Sometimes I don’t understand why I am this way. Once in a while I get into fights with my brothers and one sister who is just older than I. I like my big sister, Sharon, except when she scolds me for getting into mischief. My oldest sister, Dorotheann, is married and doesn’t live with us here at home any more. I miss her. “ I am a girl who can be nice when it suits me. But I have found out that when I try to be nice sometimes, some people make it hard for me. At home some days I seem to do everything right, and other days everything seems to go wrong. When I really think about myself, I know I should improve my attitude toward my fam ily and schoolmates. Some day I hope to overcome some of my faults. “ In school I think I am an average or above average student. Arithmetic and social studies are my worst sub jects. I just don’t get the hang of arithmetic sometime. But I like read ing. Mostly I read for pleasure, but sometimes I read for information.” This self-evaluation was rather re vealing to Ardyth’s parents. As Moth er read the biographical sketch, a sixth-grade, requirement, she was re minded of die oft-stated truth: “We know more than we do.” Apparently Arydth has a vague and perhaps nag ging realization of some of her weak nesses. But she has not been stirred enough yet to do anything but take a general look at herself. “ Some day” she “ hopes to overcome some of my faults.” O Arydth, your name is Legion. How the work of evangelizing today’s world is hampered by believers who “know to do good, but do it not” (James 4:17). May it please the Fa ther of all who come to Him through His Son, Jesus Christ, to so stir and move among His own that all men will hear the good news that “ Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners . . .” (I Tim. 1:15). TODAY! N o t some day!
