E d ito r ’ s N o te / We continue in this issue of the King’s Business with a series of articles on missions for young people. SYNOPSIS Sara is a Christian African girl who lives with her parents who do not love the Lord. Her father, however, has given her permission to go to a Bible conference with Christian friends. Here, among other things, she hears a woman missionary speaker. The woman illustrates her mes­ sage by talking about 3 vessels. One is a broken pot used to gather the dirt when the wife sweeps. The second is a water pot. If it should break, another could be made from mud. The third is a cherished pot. It is a part of the “ bride price” given be­ fore marriage. It is taken care of, for it is a vessel of honor. The missionary spoke on II Timothy 2:20-22. Then she told how every Christian made a choice. They could be disobedient, like the broken sweeping pot; or just what is expected of believers, nothing extra; or eager to do God’s perfect will •—• Sara listened in­ tently. When she got home, she wanted to be a vessel of special honor for the Lord. Sara’s mother called from the shelter of the house. She ran to do her mother’s bidding. Her mother said that she would wash the grain Sara was working with if Sara would take a new pot to her aunt’s village. Since the girl’s return from conference, Sara had been looking for ways to serve God. She had tried to talk to her fam­ ily, but they just laughed at her affectionately and ignored what she had to say. But Moco would listen. She and Moco had done everything together as girls. Now that Moco was the fifth wife of an old village chief in another village, they did not see each other. This request to go to her aunt’s village was not distasteful to Sara, for this was also Moco’s village. She would gladly go. She missed her friend, and now she could spend the night in her aunt’s house. She arrived in the large village hot and dusty. After greeting her aunt she went in search of Moco. She finally found her gathering cotton in her husband’s garden. W i t h s h r i l l screeches of joy the girls flung them­ selves into each other’s arms. Moco grabbed Sara’s hand, “ I’m here alone.” In the cool shade Moco began to pour out her troubles. Her husband was cranky, his other wives were bossy, and just because she was the youngest, she had to pound grain late into the night. She whispered: “ I’m going to run away!” Sara was shocked. “ You can’t run away. Why, there’s no place to go.” Moco’s second declaration shocked Sara more than the first. Avoiding Sara’s eyes Moco told how she had
