THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRM, DECATUR, INDIANA

[twf ’ J faasiLisJ _ speaks B**k*r»aa« *«rlatar«: Genesis ST. Deeetlsnal Readtag: Psalm «*:!<• Family Tension* Lhh. lor Im H. 1»1 <«*T' HE family Is a divine instl- * tution. That is to say. God Invented it He thought of it before men did. He intended it So it should be a success. Yet the family is also a human institution — that is to say, all homes are made up of human

beings. Every home therefore suffers from the ailments that nag at all things human. A successful home succeed* in spite of all the human handicap*. A home that does not succeed, fails be-

cause these handicaps strain it too much. Tmlont A favorite modern word for these stresses and strains within a home is "tensions.” The word is new but the thing is old. Tension is what make* the teen-ager scream, and her mother feels likescreaming, "I can’t stand this another minute!" Tension* are what make meal-times regular bat-tle-grounds, what give mothers nervous prostration and fathers peptic ulcers before their time, what may make children retnember their childhood with a kind of shuddef. Tensions are what keep juvenile delinquents from going home, tensions may even be the beginning of lost minds. Now the thing is old, as was just said. In the home of Jacob, who was a God-fearing man, there was plenty of it There was tension between him and his wives, between thewives themselves, between wives and some sons, between the sons, between him and his sons. The family, so to speak, was pulled every which way, and actually at last broke up. What Caa’t Be IMpd Some tensions cannot be helped. They are in the nature of things. In a home there are persons. of different ages, sexes and temperaments. This cannot be avoided. Yet the ••battle of the sexes” rages from generation to generation; younger people find older people sometimes very hard to get along with, and vice versa. In Jacob’s home he was much older than his wives, very much older than his sons. Men and women in those days and times probably differed even more sharply than now. kept separate as they were for much of the lives. And in Jacob’s home temperamental disI ferences surely could hardly have been more striking. The thing to remember is that since these strains cannot be helped, something good can be made of them. The man’s point of view ir different from the woman's, of course; but it takes both of them to make a healthy human point of view. Youth needs the caution and the wisdom of older people; older people need the optimism and enthusiasm of younger ’people to keep them from withering, on the vine. Different temperaments can balance one another. A home can < capitalize on it* very handicaps. Wkat Can Ba Kalya* Nevertheless, some strains and stresses are just the result of human meanness, human sin. They can be helped, they call for repentance and change. Consider the home of Jacob. His wives did not get along together; but while it was in those times legal enough, it was foolish for a man of his temperament to have married all those four women, especially as he loved only one of them. Some of the x trouble arose from young Joseph's 17-year-old conceit. Perhaps he couldn't help his dreams of grandeur; but he did not need to tel] those dream* at the breakfast table. And some of the trouble lay in Jacob’s playing up his son Joseph. Hew to Help It A foundation-stone for harmony in the home or anywhere else, is harmony with God. One who lives close to God will remember that God's will is always for peace, never for strife. The soul conscious of being forgiven by God will be mqre ready to forgive other*. The spirit blessed by the grace of God—and God’s grace comes only to the humble—will not be forever standing on its rights and complaining about its wrongs. It would be a good thing for many a family all nervous with many tensions, to read together the thirteenth chapter of I Corinthians, the great chapter on love-in practice, and then spend a while is silence, each one thinking: Does this describe me?, And If not, de I not need God’s forgiveness and a fresh start? <
