we .glistened; tie males of the
family sat shoulder to shoulder
in a front pew and heard the
bishop tell us it was the most
important day of our lives. And
I guess maybe he was right,

When it came to that solemn
moment of the laying on of hands,
I could not restrain en unChris-
tia.n pride within me. I was proud
of the straight little fellow just
ahead of me. And I was proud
of rrfy•self for not having bolted at
the last moment. It's not easy
to cast off the arrogance and
stUbborness of mind that have
been nurtured' with care for near-
ly 40 years,
At that moment, I couldn't help
thinking of our women-folk, seat-
ed behind. The little one would
be all oye.s and excitement. And
the Mom would be es proud and
pleased with herself as only a wo-
man can be who figures she now
has her old man. hooked, not only
for this life, but the next one as
well.

After the service, •the kids re-
vented rapidly from Christians to
children. Hugh gave me the devil
because I 'hadn't knelt properly,
I 'have a trick knee, and when I
go down on it wholeheartedly,
there's liable to be a crunch, ac-
compelled by a loud and unpious
green. The kids were bath sore
as blazes because we wanted them
to bed early for the long trip
next day, and wouldn't let them
stay for the eats.
- But they cheered up when we
got home, and the girls produced
some loot. Hugh was' tickled with
a baseball glove and some new
pants. I was handed a fancy box,
thought it was a pocket knife
or a fishing lure, and joked: "You
shouldn't have bought me a watch.
It's too Much." Kim was deeply
annoyed and blurted out "Oh,
Daddy, how did you know?",
thereby giving the show away. * ,,, *
