Taking my Bible, I walked slowly out to the deep wood that stands just back of my cottage, to think and to pray. Kneeling before one of the giant pines that reached up to a vaulted roof of blue sky, I listened as the wind played organ music on needled boughs. My nostrils breathed in the rich incense of wild honeysuckle. God was very near. This was His altar. Aloud, I prayed, “Dear God, help me to know how to write this unknown woman facing a nervous breakdown: unknown to me, but known to You—this soul You created and loved. Help me to have the faith I need at this time to help her have faith. Help me tell her how to ‘let go and let God.’ Amen.” Two sparrows fashioning a nest out of twigs and moss seemed to twitter to me, “Are not two spar­ rows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father . . . Fear ye not, therefore; ye are of more value than many spar­ rows” (Matthew 10:29-31). A purple violet pushing up from the decay of a fallen oak tree seemed to remind me of John 15:5, he envelope with the words neatly written, “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth "PLEASE FORWARD,” was addressed in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much simply: fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” The fallen leaves on the ground around me c/o HERALDKatherine OF HOLINESS Bevis seemed to be trying to say to me, “God is every­ TNAZARENE PUBLISHING HOUSE where, evenly present.” KANSAS CITY, MO.

Much of the struggle seems to have developed out of an inability to define reality in the light of Christ’s teachings. The counter-culture movement has seen society in a nonviable role, on its way to a materialistic de­ struction. Facing a hopeless future, the NOW became their god. But when the tomorrow came and they were not dead, they sought elsewhere for answers. As they looked back to the Church, all they saw was a rigid, authoritarian system that could not ab­ sorb their culture into its system.

One of her favorite Bible stories was about Jesus telling the frustrated disciples to “launch out into the deep” for a more successful catch of fish. She loved to plunge into the deep and adventurous waters of faith and “claim” the promises of God. In fact, some people close to her felt she actually relished the opportunity to test one of God's promises. “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask . . . and it shall be given him” (James 1:5).
