Grace Lightens the Load
BY RALPH W. LOEW, D.D.
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
The tractor-trailer

pened. There was a terrifying
scream of brakes, the crash
of the crumpling monster as
is toppled on its side and the
roar of the metal as it hurtled
from its trailer-bed and scat

driver was killed. What had
investigators happened? As nearly as the
could determine,
the load of steel had shifted
as he rounded that curve and
the driver was unable to hold
the truck to the road,

story of the
rift, the breaking of promises
and the wreckage that came
when the load shifted.
Since most persons have to
be prepared for these sudden
shifts of the load, what can be
done? If the driver of that
tractor could talk to us he’d
make some pertinent sugges
tions:
• Know the weight of the

the driver and to the safety
of the highway. How is your
load secured?
• Travel with the freedom
that comes when you know
you have this load and are
not on a joy ride; a sudden
careless turn or an unforeseen
twist in the road can change
the equilibrium of the trip.
How well do you know this
load?
Translate these ordinary
rules of safety into the experi
ence of living and identical
rules of conduct apply.
So the words of the prophet
Isaiah apply to those who
travel now: “They that wait
upon the Lord shall renew
their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as
ea be they shall run, and
not weary, they shall walk,
and not faint.”
So the words of Jesus apply
to those who must be con
cerned with the weight and
the distribution of the load:
“Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, where
moth and rust do corrupt, and
where thieves break through
and steal... seek ye first the
kingdom of God and his
righteousness, things and all these
shall be added unto
you.”
No person can avoid carry
he ing great loads and burdens;
can understand the weight
and give thanks for the grace
that sustains him even in the
uncertainties cf the journey.

Maddox continued to refuse
comment on rumors he might

he had more support among
Republicans than Democrats,
and “I hope I will be able to
stay in the Democratic party.”

Maddox criticized Gray for
becoming part of “the ma

“I am surprised that Jim
