SETTING Front-door steps of the parsonage. CHARACTERS Eleven year old daughter of the Parsonage Family. Thirteen year old friend of daugh ter. THEME OF DISCUSSION Plans for “when I’m a grown lady.” “ I don’t know yet if I’ll go to col lege. It takes more money and brains than we have at our house. I’m gonna get married, and I don’t have to go to college for that!” “No, you don’t,” Althea responded. “ But my mother says a woman usual ly makes a better wife, the better your education the better equipped you’ll be to serve the Lord.” “ Don’t you want to get married? Don’t you think money is important?” “ Sure, I’ll want to get married someday. But my dad says money can’t buy the things of true value. And before I think of marriage I want to get my education first so that I’m ready to serve the Lord wherever He leads. I know if I do get married my husband will have to be a Christian.” “Well, my dad isn’t a Christian and he’s just as good to us as your dad is!” “ I don’t doubt that, Paulette. But being a good dad or nice husband isn’t going to get him to heaven. And if he doesn’t love the Lore! and you do, you won’t agree about spiritual things and then you’ll not have a happy home life.” • “Whoops, I hear Mother calling me. We’ll talk about this again, A l thea. S’long.” A grateful mother went back to her housework with a new song of praise in her heart. She rejoiced in the sure testimony of her small daugh ter to her neighbor-friend. She earn estly prayed that God would keep these truths vital and relevant to Al thea when she comes to the place of major life decisions in a few years. “ O Father, garrison the hearts and minds of my children. May they early leam to ‘Keep (their) heart(s) with all diligence, for out of (them) are the issues of life’ ” (Prov. 4:23). MARCH, 1961
