                                     GREAT HOPE   170      25 MAY 1976

                                          Jenkin Lloyd Jones wrote,
                                          "You cannot put a great hope
                                          into a small soul."

                                          Now, we have read brother Jones'
                                          columns in the newspaper for many
                                          years, and admire them for their
                                          moral tone and literary fiber.
 
                                          But, we would like to offer an opposite
                                          viewpoint to his statement above.

                                          We believe most of us would be most
                                          miserable of creatures, and life-long
                                          small souls had not some person, through
                                          written or spoken word, implanted within
                                          our hearts...a great hope.

                                          Perhaps this is the main reason Jesus Christ
                                          always succeeded while other philosophers 
                                          and moral teacher failed. For only he can
                                          deliver the goods...in every area of our
                                          apparent hopelessness...
                                         
                                          Joy in the midst of pain
                                          Solace in the midst of sorrow
                                          Patience in the midst of problems
                                          Calmness in the midst of turmoil
                                          Feasting in the midst of famine
                                          Resurrection in the midst of death 
                                        
                                          Hope, always hope, for today, tomorrow,
                                          and always.
