IN APPRECIATION
There is a word in our English
language that has become a very
weak word. The word is love.
When we use the word we often
say love for money, love of
power, love for nature—We ex
plain it in Hebrew—Love is a
strong word and used only in re
lation to man and God.
The Lord spoke of God’s love.
Asked to name the greatest com
mandments, Jesus replied “Thou
shalt Love the Lord they God
with all thy heart and with all
thy soul and with all thy mind.
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself.”
Then within 24 hours of his
death He said “Anew command
ment I give unto you: That ye
love one another.”
The expression of your lqve
for my father— Your neighbor
—and one another is a high tri
bute to you in carrying out the
commandment of love.
We both thank you for your
love and give you ours.—Written
by Mrs. Donald G. Archer, Pitts
burg, Pa., daughter of William
(Pop) Heemstra.
