I guess my husband was a little shy because he said in a rather loud voice, "Turn me loose, will you pie se?" .Sveryone in the church heard him. There was a wave of laughtef. That's all they talked about at tyre reception. What do I say when people bring it up?

You said, "Children have . a magnificent way of living up'to their parents' high opinion of thein. And they also can live DOWN to a low 0 opinion.',.....,._ I have seen it happen, When our ,own children behaved poorly we never told them they „ were -bad. We let them know we were disappointed because they were wonderful people and it was sad to see them take a wrong turn.—My sister and her husband, who were very strict, called' their children sinful„ rid good, unworthy troublemakers. It was so drummed into them that every, one of tjtefourended up in serious trouble. They had nothing to live up to so they didn't try: , .It might interest you tb know that I have used your columns/` the basis for several sermo , and have, on occasion, read them from the pulpit.
