The Source of Sibling Rivalry (continued from the September 15 issue) Sibling rivalry is difficult to “cure” but it can certainly be treated. Toward that objective, let me offer three suggestions which should be helpful in achieving a state of armistice at home. 1. Don’t inflame the natural jealousy of children. 2. Establish a workable system of justice. Sibling rivalry is also at its worst when there is no reasonable system of justice in the home—where the “lawbreakers” do not get caught or if apprehended never face a trial. It is important to understand that laws in a society are established and enforced for the Heinz Fussle purpose of protecting people from each other. Like­ wise, a family is a minisociety with the same require­ out among themselves.

T ALL STARTED for 25-year-old Manuel (Man­ ny) Chavier, Jr., during the Christmas vacation of I1977. He was a junior at Olivet Nazarene College from New Bedford, Mass., student body director of the college missions program, and enjoying good health. Then it hit! One day he was well; the next day he had difficulty controlling his own body. He couldn’t see or walk. Manny had been quite active in basketball and tennis. Now he couldn’t do even the simplest things for himself. He had been stricken with multiple sclerosis, the great crippler of young adults. This disease attacks the brain and spinal cord. It interferes with the normal functions of the nerve pathways. The cause of the disease is unknown. No cure (humanly speaking) has been found for it. When he was admitted to the hospital, he cried out in his soul. “Lord, what happened? I’m a student body leader, trying to serve You, then this. Why, Lord, why?” God said, "Wait a minute! Are you working for Me or for yourself?” "MANNY'S Manny answered quickly. "OK, Lord, I want to live for You no matter what.” He soon learned to put on a happy face, even though he hurt inside. Other patients would ask, COMING BACK!" “What’s wrong with him? He’s so sick, yet he can still laugh.” Later, while visiting our church, he told us, “I began to feel that my life was over. If I couldn't do the things I had been accustomed to, no one would school, sports, and everything else he held dear in even like me. I’d feel so low I had to look up to see life. bottom.

Autumn Hymn

—DIANE WOOD Wadesville, Indiana

Thank You, Lord, for Your gift of autumn, And thank You, Lord, for Your gift of love The feel and touch of the shortening days, Made mellower by the autumn touch, The air so still I can hear the whisper For hand-held walks in the filtered sunlight, From painted hills of a song of praise. For silent worship that means so much. Thank You, too, for the autumn flowers, And thank You for the peal of church bells For panoramas of flaming trees, Ringing the Indian summer air, For nights that sparkle, for days that shine For comfort known and hearts made whole With skies the color of summer seas. Though one is missing who once was there. Thank You, Lord, for the golden harvest, Yes, thank You, Lord, for this lovely season For big machines bringing in the sheaves, For things remembered and yet all new, For the crisp delight of a shiny apple, And all we ask as the leaves drift by The acrid sweetness of burning leaves. Is keep us all, Lord, close to You.

He brought chal­ lenging messages throughout the week. This was not only the largest camp in Jamaica’s history, but many believe it to be the best.
