insisted the sessions be terminated. On our records was the warning, “In our judgment, if these two peo ple do not resolve their tensions we would not be surprised if some very serious and drastic things might have to be faced.” Murder seemed a little remote at the time. But a bitter young man was caught in a feud be tween mother and f a t h e r . The squeeze and pressure were more than he could bear. The Bible tells us that one of the products of the human heart is murder. How plain it ought to be that we must take care of the condition of our own heart through the power of the Holy Spirit. In the second folder were some other small clippings about another sniper. Again it involved a young teenager. After talking with him, we began to realize that behind his life were a mother and father too busy to bother much about him. He was the kind, too, who really needed a lot of attention and very serious guid ance. We had warned the parents of their serious responsibility. A fail ure would mean dire consequences. Fortunately in this case, his aim was bad. While he missed, the attempt was still there. Murder isn’t some thing that happens all at once. Jesus said, “I say unto you that if you are angry with your brother, you have committed murder already.” Actual ly, murder is just getting a little madder, mad enough to kill. Realize, however, that to be mildly annoyed is the first step. To be nursing these miserable situations in our hearts and the manufacturing of t h e s e grievances make the difference. The Lord Jesus has come to give inner peace and to deliver us from the pressures and grief of human prob lems and difficulties. See what God can and wants to do for your heart if you will simply recognize Him as the supreme Source. BIOLA GRADUATION, Sunday, June 2, 3:30 P.M.
