Religious Thoughts
Marriage is an honorable union in the sight of God. The
first institution established was the home. The divine plan
of God for mankind is the home: husband, wife, and children
raised in the environment and instruction of the home.
The Bible says that God created man in his own image
both male and female (Gen. 1:27). The Bible explains how
God did it. He formed man from the dust of the ground and
breathed into his nose the breath of life; and m&n became a
living soul (Gen. 2:7). He caused a deep sleep to come upon
Adam and God took a rib from his side and closed up the
flesh and from the rib of Adam, God made the first woman
and brought her to the man. Adam said, "This is w bone
of my bones, and flesh of myflesh; she shall be called woman
because she was taken out of men. Therefore shall a nn
leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his
wife and they shall be one flesh" (Gen. 2: 21-25).
The Apostle Paul sanctioned the home, saying, "Let every
man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own
husband" (I Cor. 7:2). In the light of the Biblical concept of
the hom'.', the Apostle Paul said, "Let not the wife depart
from her husband" (I Cot. 7:10). This can also be stated the
other way: let not the husband depart from the wife.
These words sound Strange to a society that has made it a
course of life to weary the courts with divorce suits. Two
out of every three marriages in our country now end up
in the divorce courts. The Lutheran Church just made a
survey and discovered that if a family went to church re-
gularly together, only one out of six hundred went to a di-
vorce court.
The Bible instructs the family in every problem area.
Even failure el one of the marriage partners to accept
Christ and become a Christian was not grounds for divorce
in the New Testament Church. If your husband or wife
wasn't, a Christian, you were still obligated to live with
him or her. If one or the other left, it was his or her per-
other of the marriage partners is living. Whose law are we
talking about? The Apostle Paul is talking about God's
law. The law of the land may not be the law of God. It
should be, but sometimes it isn't. If a husband dies, the
woman is free to remarry to whom she will; "only in the
Lord" (I Cor. 7:39-40). Of course the seine applies to the
man. If a man's wife des, he is also free to remarry.
This freedom o which God speaks is a qualified freedom.
Such a person is not free to marry just anyone, but free to
marry anyone "in the Lord." This means anyone of whom
God approves. Once you're mrried, you're bound to each
other for life.

Someone will say, "Pre.v;her, we don't do it this w,,y to-
day." The heartache and sorrow that we have ,n millions
of homes shouts this louder than you do. Multitudes of
homes, husbands and wives, have fallen short of God's
standard and have brought untold misery and distress upot
themselves and millions o little children..
We would do well to listen to God's Word and do it accord-
ing to God's law that the Christian witness might glorify the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ. And is not the judgment of
God upon our land because we have failed to heed God's
law?
This letter was received by The Press this week. Maybe
it would be good to hear from other residents about local
issues. The Press will publish any letter seat, but we reser-
ve the right to condense if space is tight.
No, it isn't a Bad Dream.
It is a nightmare and a senseless farce. The "sides"
have dug in for a prolonged slege. No matter that some or
our people are going without medical care.
If these people were required to conduct their personal af-
fairs the way they manage hospital affairs, they would in-
dignantly refuse. But the sacrifices others have to make do
not matter; only that these people have their way.
Donley County cannot afford to say one word about Water-

My stomach isn't strong enough to go to our local churches
on Sunday and listen to these hypocrites mouthpious phrases.
If they are Christian examples, I'll take my chances at home.
This is the classic exame of why young people reject
adult practices, God help us.
