M other has been re-discovering the frustrations of English grammar and punctuation. It seems to her that no sooner is a rule laid down with near “ sine die” finality that an exception rears its ugly (rare ly helpful) head. Life seems so full of matters dif ficult to understand. P a r a d o x is everywhere. We teach our children to abhor war, yet urge them to be good soldiers of Jesus Christ. The BOOK says: “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Phil. 2: 12). It also says: “ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works” (Gal. 2:8, 9). “Mommie, why do you tell me to select the dress I want to wear, then make me take it off if you think it is not appropriment, or whatever that word is?” “ The word is ‘appropriate,’ Ardyth. I am trying to help you make the right decisions while you are young. Most of us learn much by the method of trial and error. I want you to de cide what is right to wear for sum mer and winter, to wear at church, or to school. When you don’t make the proper decision, am obliged to guide you correctly until you get to the place that you can do it yourself.” “Well, that’s hard. I like to wear what I like no matter what the weather or day is like.” Taking the charming and exasper ating nine year old into her arms Mother whispered: “ I’m glad there is one decision I didn’t have to make. Love for you children reached my heart before you ever saw the light of day. And Ardyth, you may not understand this now, but I’ll tell you anyway. No decision of life will be too difficult to make if you keep mat ters in their proper setting and con text. This proper perspective and balance can only be achieved by ‘wisdom that is from above’ and which is ‘first pure, then peaceable, gentle. . .’ (James 3:17). Mother will always pray for this wisdom for you and for all her children. I cannot give it to you; only God can—and will.” THE KING'S BUSINESS
