But Jesus in flame of love which draws us into harmony jected a new element into religion which with His divine will.

There the horse stopped. No coaching I could do would influence him to move. I slapped and hit him with the rein; I kicked and yelled; yet he stood still. We were desperate. One of the men said, “Drop the rein and let him go as he w ill." WHEN I DID, the horse turned around and started back. “Now what?" I asked in my bewilderment. They insisted I let the horse get us home, and calmly he did just that. I have olten wondered where we would have gone had we not allowed the one that knew the way to lead us—even though he was a horse. In spite of confusion, it is wonderful to know our Heavenly Father knows the way we take. If we will acknowledge Him, He will direct our • By PEARL KEETON paths.

The Lord went before them, by day in a pillar of a cloud to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light. He is still the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Of Timely Concern
uring recent months frequent inquiries have come to us concerning the ad visability of our church engaging in secular business either with a worthy D social service goal in mind or with a desire to make profit to be used as a sup plement to the regular tithes and offerings. It is our united judgment that such ventures are ill-advised and unwise and could bring delays if not derailment to our Kingdom enterprise, even when our church involve ment is indirect or when another legal vehicle is created to avoid financial liability. It is our view that the church’s name or offices should not be used either in whole or in part in the above ventures and the like. We recognize that very generous govern ment loans and high tax exemptions on the part of the United States government at present make some of these situations look inviting and desirable, but we earnestly warn our church leaders (lay and ministerial) that these inducements could in time prove to be a snare. “Let the church be the church” is for us more than a slogan; it is a guiding principle for direction and course of action. The issue of priorities makes demands upon us, so that we cannot undertake every worthy enterprise and still perform our principal task of giving the whole gospel to all the world. Our board claims no infallibility even in church matters or special expertness in the affairs of commercial business, but our sense of mission compels us today to break our silence and offer this word of earnest warn ing with conviction and love. We trust it will be received in the same spirit in which it is given and that it will prove helpful to all the people called Nazarenes.

HOME ON THE ROCKS
As an apprentice Carpenter, Jesus knew what He was talking about when He told the story about two houses—a story with which He closed the Sermon on the Mount.
Jesus implied that the two houses were alike except for their foundations. One was built on the rock and the other on sand. Jesus spelled out facts these Palestinians knew well. The rains fell with their springtime fury. Rivulets beginning in the highlands were torrents by the time they reached the plains. Creek beds, usually dry, suddenly overflowed. The Jordan River, hardly challenging most of the year, became a raging flood which pounded against every house in its way. Some houses stood and others fell.
Jesus not only knew about houses; He also knew about homes and the dynamics of living together. Therefore the lessons of this parable are found in their application to our homes and families.
1) First, Jesus knew that every family has its share of storms. The difference was not in the fury of the storm against the Palestinian houses but in the strength of their foundations. The home in which no one lifts his voice to express shock or resistance, or drops his countenance to register disappointment, or flashes fear through his eyes, or withdraws to deal with his own problems of petty jealousy is not only abnormal, but unrealistic. Frayed nerves may trigger a crying spell. Fatigue lowers the level of patience and reduces the capacity to rise above turmoil. Persistent confusion dilutes inner strength. No one knows this better than a tired mother who strives valiantly to fill her role as cook, taxi driver, tutor, cleaning woman, purchasing agent, laundress, and family psychologist, while she tries to be an understanding wife to her husband and an effective worker in the church. The storms which blow against your house are related to your age and maturity, as well as that of your children. But be assured that every famiiy in your church and among your friends has storms of some kind.
2) Jesus was saying that the most threatening storms in life beat against the foundations of the home. Problems, which brew in the outside world of work, school, and even at church, can be handled adequately if the bul wark of love and security at home is firm. School psychologists know that children w ill bring the unsolved home problems into the classroom. Normally, the problems of school are not a threat to the child who feels secure at home.
3) Jesus was also saying that He is the Foundation of every home which stands against the storms of life. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has a good bit to say about things in the home. He mentions such practical articles as salt, candles, and lampstands. But He also gives major space to discussing love, adultery, and divorce. Salt in the food, candles on the table, and lamp stands to decorate the rooms do not make the house a home. The house is not really a home until Christ becomes its Foundation. His presence assures attitudes of love and understanding among fam ily members. His presence insures against the deterioration and breakdown of the home by such threats as adultery and divorce. "And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock."
