During these last few days many of us kicked about
the weather. though knew futile thing to
do and that eventually there would be improvement IN
conditions Like most of you doubt make your con-
trbutOn to all the kicking that goes life AS the Rev
Robert W. Oewer remarked in of his brief articles
"Some kinds of kicking be justified, like complaining
the landlord about eaky roof to the Congressman
about tricky piece of legislation the merchant about
his INSCRIPTIONS business methods, to the worker who
sleeps on the job But the kind of kicking that spas and
sputer against the things that can't be helped and walls
whnes against fate doesn't help matters iota and
often tends to make them worse
If there who seemed to have right to
kick that the called Job in the Bible In rapid
succession he lost home, children, money and health And
there little for this avalanche of trouble But
Job said: Though God Stay me, yet will trust Him. He
was a marvellous
Well if you have to kick, then kick like gentleman,
not like mule null ecant kick and pull at the time
Unless you justify it, simply don't kick So suggests
this minister who writes articles weekly the subject One
Word Can Change Your Life"
