Under th e Parsonage R oo f by A lth e a S. M i l l e r S -A - I -N -T ? B urdens are lifted at Calvary, at Calvary, at Calvary; Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is bery near.” “Mommie,” the f o u r - y e a r - o l d stopped her singing to ask, “does c-a-n-d-y spell Ardyth?” Mother stood speechless, momen tarily. Catching her little girl up in her arms and kissing the back of her neck Mother answered, “You little bundle of dynamite; you ball of fire. If your Daddy ever had a duplicate of himself, you are that one.” “Huh? I’m not Daddy. I’m Ardyth. Does c-a-n-d-y spell my name?” “ It did a few minutes ago when you were singing so nicely. Jesus loves to hear His little children sing. Mother knows that ‘Jesus is very near’ . when you sing. But this morning when you threw that block at Mark you didn’t remind me of candy or anything sweet.” “ I’m sorry. I’ll be a good girl.” As the day wore on Mother could not throw off her daughter’s question. She realized there was no point to spelling “ candy” anymore since the little miss had learned. How sharp children are to catch the spelling and meaning of some words. Now Mother caught herself asking her own heart: “Does s-a-i-n-t spell saint?” On the basis of the Word of God she knew the answer as to stand ing — “ . . . beloved of God, called to be saints” (Rom. 1:7). Our sainthood is not off in some future after many good works have been done. Neither can man make us saints after we’ve been dead some two or three hundred years. God sees us as saints now, clothed in Christ’s righteousness by faith in His finished work on Calvary. But our state is sometimes not very saintly. It does not point up our standing to a world of lost men. God grant His Church a state up on the same level as its standing. Does s-a-i-n-t spell your name?
