Paint Can M other moaned in an agony of disbelief. Those two paint- covered children couldn’t be her’s. Hadn’t she d i s c i p l i n e d them just yesterday when they had broken into that tile red paint can? Hadn’t they promised they’d never get into any paint again after she had reasoned with them? Could they so soon forget? A thousand e m o t i o n s raced through Mother’s breast as these two pint-sized bundles of hu manity stood before her, dripping paint. Yesterday they had barely splashed some of the red stuff on their hands, and just a little on the grass. Prompt application of a gentle paint remover erased all evidence of their escapade. Today’s story was different. Hair, nails, shoes, overalls, dress, cement walk, grass, bore vivid testimony to the devastating ef fects of this infraction. A guilty look on little faces spoke elo quently of the fact that Kent and Althea knew judgment must fall. Mother wept. She had reckoned without the fascination of that pretty red paint. Sin is like that. It'is ever fas cination to man’s sinful nature. A little discipline for that first infraction of God’ s law , or man’s, is to be expected. W e’re w illing to accept the consequences be cause the sin was delightful to the senses. But we know how to handle ourselves! W e ’ll never go any farther down the path to deep sin. “ Come now, let us reason to gether . . . though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow . . .” (Isa. 1:18). God’s plea to reason together is ignored, and one sad day the fascination o f sin’s “ paint can” overcomes. W e find ourselves caught in the flood-tide of destruction. Judg ment falls both in this life and the next, unless we heed the call of Jesus Christ: “ Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth . . .” (Isa. 45:22) “ Behold, now is the accepted time; . . . now is the day o f sal vation . . .” (2 Cor. 6 :2 ). Accept His salvation now.
