We 'were sitting around hick-

She didn't think much•. of God.
"How, can . God • let so :• many
people*.in the world be starv-

Well, ::it's' a fair question. •
Her mother and I' tried' to ex-
plain that : it ' was not God's
doing, but man's. We said it was' '
man's greed, ;insecurity and fear
that made us live like kings (far
better than medieval kings,' in
fact), while hundreds of mil-
. lion s of people in the world, our
brothers, starved and died of ill- '
mess unnecessarily. ' •
She wasn't buying any.. "Wall . •
sounds pretty foggy to me," she
grumped. "I don't think much. of

God; ';so, like all fathers since
the cave -days, -I tried to come up
with an. 'answer. •
; „•
'First, 1 explained: 'that the .
government did a great deal to .
• help less fortunate .. countries',
with our taxes. When, She cor-
nered me on details,. I had to
admit that it •was ,a• drop in the
bucket with. a lot of strings at-
tached (try , that metaphor on
for 'size ) , I 'further admitted that
• government could not do ,much•
• more without creating a hue
.and' cry among the,taxpayers.
In. desperation,.. I • looked
around for someone . else. to
blame• • The churches should
take the lead, and start a nation
wide °campaign, to help feed the
hungry.", My wife reminded me
that we give 'a buck a week to
missions. "Yes, and all .these.
piddling church •missions add' i p
to a spit in the ocean," says I. .
"So what would you do, Mr:
Smart Alex?" says
•"So' I can probably think of
something, Mrs, Wise Guy," 'says
I. And I did. The result is Na-

It's very simple. For one-week
