Forgiveness..........................................

     I was brought up in a family which read the Scriptures or repeated a verse from the Bible each night and then knelt down and said "family prayers."  I can still hear my father, in a lonely Missouri farmhouse, repeating these words of Jesus - words that will continue to be repeated as long as man cherishes his ideals:  "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you."
     My father tried to live those words of Jesus, and they gave him an inner peace that the captains and Kings of earth have often sought in vain.
