T R O U B L E S A N Y O N E ? The March issue really hit home with me,especially the page by Joyce Lan- dorf, as my son just last week came home with a long face over his arith metic problems. I read Joyce’s column to Fred and I think it made him feel not alone with his troubles. It seems like a day does not pass by without some kind of trouble and I thank God I can come to Him in my time of trou ble and He is always there to help. Mrs. Esther McIntosh, Richmond, California J U S T A V E R S E It was a beautiful morning in March. A fter a siege o f snowdrifts and melt ing pools all around their house, it had finally dried off enough to woo the little boy outside. As she was dressing him, the busy mother of three suddenly no ticed that the porch where her son was sitting needed sweeping badly. Think ing that sweeping the porch was a task her son could easily perform (and usu ally enjoyed) the mother asked, “ Billy, don’t you think it would be kind of you to sweep the porch for me? I’ll get the broom for you.” Anxious to be about his play, the boy answered, “ No, not today. You do it, Mommy.” Gently she urged him, “ Come now, let’s do it” ; but the youngster, thinking about being kind, recited proudly, ‘Be ye kind one to another.’ ” “ Very good,” replied his mother. “ That’s what God said in the Bible. You could be kind and sweep the porch.” But upon hearing this piece of logical action, Billy thought a moment and then said, “ Oh, Mommy, THAT’S just a VERSE !” Well, I was surprised and a little amused at my three-year-old’s remark, but think! Just a verse! When we read or memorize the Word of God, is that all it means to us? Is it just in the Bible, or is it a command to be obeyed? Just a verse! Is that all God intended when He wrote the Bible for our in struction and learning? Or did He mean it when He again inspired the written words, “ I f a man love me, he will keep my words” (John 14:23). I could not help but ponder over Billy’s innocent remark. Surely if we were to read and memorize His words with the intention of obeying and tak ing them to heart, we would be more like what God intended us to be. Gone would be the shallowness and irrespon sible living o f us so-called “ believers.” This incident really took place today and caused me some serious thoughts about putting into practice the words of God in our everyday living. We enjoy getting and reading T h e K i n g ’ s B u s in e s s each month. May God continue to make your lives count for Him. Mrs. Eva Neckels, Forsyth, Montana P.S.—Billy finally did sweep the porch.
