Under the Parsonage Roof by Althea S. Miller D ear Father, I thank Thee for my salvation, and I thank Thee for the Millers. I’m glad they opened their home to me. Help me to get all I can from them. Let the children be obedient because if they obey I will be better able to understand about this Christian life, and it will be easier for me to obey Thee. I thank Thee again for this experience in the Miller home. It’s wonderful they took me in. I thank Thee, and I know as I ask Thee that You’ll save Sally, Jon, Mother and Dad.” Tears in Mother’s eyes spilled over to moisten her cheeks. What a signi ficant prayer from one so young in the faith. Last September Betsy en tered Grace Livingston Hill Christian Day School with her twin, Sally. By November Betsy had capitulated to the claims of Christ and was bom again. Unexpected business problems forced a premature return of the fam ily to the north. Betsy did not want to leave the school where she had stepped from spiritual darkness into light. No one at home could under stand the change in her life or could help her. She asked the Millers if she could live with them so as to complete the school year here. After prayer and consultation with the children, espe cially the older girls, the family said “yes” and moved over to take Betsy into their hearts and home. The new daughter little dreams of the great responsibility her coming has placed on this family. Nor can she comprehend the near-fright at the awareness of what is expected of her “family.” At 16 she is getting her first introduction to the type of living which goes on in a Christian home. Betsy’s first impressions of “ Christ in you the hope of glory” are being formed in this home! Suddenly this family finds itself being examined by one who had never known there is another way of life until a few months ago. Such questions, bluntly and honestly asked, have forced a re-evaluation of how we have been living in and for Christ. It is small wonder, then, in view of the demands, expectations, and obser vations of this babe in Christ, that the Millers had to pull themselves up short and take some personal and family spiritual inventory. God has given us a difficult but glorious assign ment. He is reminding us that we must be “ an example of believers” (1 Tim. 4:12). We dare not in any way “ offend one of His little ones.” W ill you pray for Betsy and for us?
