WHAT WE ARE AND
WHAT WE SEEM TO BE
How true the words are
“Ever be it so humble - there is
no place like home!” A man’s
home should be his castle. It
should also be for him a
sanctuary . It takes a lot of
living in a house to make it a
home. A home is not so much a
place as it is a condition. A
home is an atmosphere, a
climate, a spirit.
Our homes ought to be
heaven for us, but for many of
us it is a hell. We can be soft
spoken, tolerent, congenial and
kind to everyone else and then
become a verbal tornado at
home. Often we hurt most
deeply the ones we love the
most.
You are familiar with the
adage about the man who is
scolded by his boss, he comes
irritable and takes it out on his
wife with unkind and cutting
words. The wife releases her
hostility on the little boy. So the
little boy goes out and kicks the
dog to let off steam. There is a
lot of truth in that story. The
simple truth is that every one
of us even the most reliable,
the most religious, the most
moral is a bundle of contradic
tions. These contradictions in
us are as the difference
between light and darkness,
sickness and health.
A frivolous high tempered
non church going mother
complained. “I don’t know
what has gotten into my Jane.
Anything I say goes in one ear
and out the other.” But what
really got into Jane was her
mother. Remember we are
setting an example before
those we love. In order for a
home to be what it should be, it
must be Christian. A home is
made truly Christian when its
members live Christian lives.
Christian mothers do not
unmercifully scold her chil
dren or neglect her home and
family. Christian fathers do not
fly into fits of rage.
Yet there are times when all
of us go about with a divided
heart. You say “I don’t want to
act that way, What can I do
about it?”
For one thing we can be
honest with ourselves. All too
often when we realize that we
are not always what we seem
to be, we lay the blame upon
circumstances in which we find
ourselves. But the same kind of
emotional trouble affects the
rich and the poor. The
successful and the unsuccess
ful, the tolerent and the
intolerent. We cannot lay the
blame for circumstances. We
need to face ourselves and say
that we need not stay this way.
Let us follow a guiding light
and trust the touch of God. Be
honest with God. His hand lays
hold upon the divided heart
until the storms die down.
Because God is with us,
because we are touched by
Him through Christ we can
become what we seem to be.

By Ruth Bryant
Why Cover Up?
Do you know in your heart
That you’ve done something wrong?
Are your days damp and dark
Are your nights limp and long?
“0.K.”, you may say,
“I’ll invent a make-up
In this simple way
I’ll just cover it up!”
Now, dear friend, you cannot
Have contentment and peace
And the ills of your mind
Won’t diminish or cease,
Until you confess
All the wrong you have done,
Then strain and distress
From your heart will be gone!
