T h is f a m i l y ’ s s ix t h c h il d and fourth son has finished high school. Only three are left to gradu ate. The day after receiving his diploma, Paul sat with Dad and Mother in the living room where each expressed reactions to the mo mentous occasion. As the graduate spoke, he laid bare the inner re cesses of his heart. “ It’s a funny feeling to have grad uated. My ties with home are begin ning to let go. I am more and more responsible for myself. The security of being at home will no longer be my experience. Actually, it’s kinda hard to have to grow up.” Which statement, tumbling out word upon word, was quite a mouth ful for any 17-year-old. The truth of his words pointed up sharply to Mother the finality of the largest part of his home training. While her son will change by growth in knowledge and the application of wisdom, the mold of his character already is cast. Paul can never again be a small boy with a character yet to be shaped. Training failures of omission and commission cannot be recalled or re-done. All his parents can do at this point is throw them selves and their son on the mercy of God and claim His promise: “ Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Prov. 22 : 6 ). The heart of that Biblical injunc tion is “way he should go.” This is where parents need wisdom above their poor powers. Once the child leaves home for further training above high school, he never returns home the same as when he left. Nor is his home the same to him. This is where and when the tempo of parental prayer life must be stepped up. Here is where victories are wrought and godly parents share a bit in our Lord’s experience, to “ . . . see of the travail of [their] soul and be satis fied . . .” (Isa. 52:11). Thank You, dear Father, for every victory yet to be won in and through our son, Paul Kent. SEPTEMBER, 1965
