HOW TO CONTROL A BAD SITUATION
A young fellow was having I
a lot of trouble with his mother
in-law. Every afternoon when
he came home from work, she
» as in a peevish mood. She was
constantly nagging, complaining
and accusing him unfairly.
At first he took it meekly.
But then he could no longer bear
it in silence. Unknowingly he
began to reflect her mood like
a mirror. If she complained that
she and her daughter had too
much work to do, he griped
right back about how hard he
had worked at the office. When
she accused him of not mak
ing enough money, he would
quickly inform her that he made
more than the average person,
but that she and her daughter
would have bankrupted a very
wealthy man.
In fact, every time she yelled,
he yelled. His wife, who was
caught in the middle, yelled first
at one and then at the other.
The children joined in and just
yelled.
The home became so tense
and edgy that divorce seemed
to be the only solution.
Finally, he decided he must
have help. He went to his pastor
and talked the situation over
with him.
They discussed who was set
ting the tempo and emotional
mood of the household. They
both agreed that the mother
in-law was.
Then the pastor told him this:
“You are simply reflecting what
ever mood your mother-in-law
establishes. There is only one
way to ensure peace and har-

Miss Page, 18, daughter of

seven years.
Her outstanding canning abil

Young Jordan, 17, son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. M Jordan, lives on
1,100 acres near Macon. He will
be a dairy award winning guest
of the Oliver Corporation.
Since his family has a suc

cessful dairy project was the
natural outcome of his 4-H en
deavors. He has been 4-H Club
president three years, and is a
junior leader in the county.

I monv in your home. You must
be the one who takes control
of the situation. And there is
only one real way to make tha
environment of your home what
you want it to be. You must
show your mother-in-law by
your actions how you want you*
home to be. For instance, yosa
want it to be courteous. Well,
you be courteous. In this way,
naif of your environment will
change instantly.’
The young man asked, “How
do 1 start?”
The pastor said, “The next
time she complains, courteously
tell her you are sorry."
And so the young man went
home determined to try this. The
first time he said, “I am sorry,*
his mother-in-law was speech
less. How could she argue with
someone who would not argue
with her? For if a person is
determined to be courteous, he
will be and others cannot help
being affected.
Eventually the type of envi
ronment this young man desired
was established in his home.
And he made this resolution:
: Whatever happens, I am deter
mined, by my own conduct, to
■ affect that situation so that the
outcome will be exactly what I
• want it to be.
I This will work for anyone.
' The Bible declares that “a soft
■ answer turneth away wrath’
(Proverbs 15:1).
And many of the heartaches
■ and tensions that exist in homes
' across America could be healed
i if more people would adopt
■ this philosophy.
