Dearest Barley -
Here it is Sunday again. How the weeks fly by! Soon 'twill be spring, and we've hardly had any winter yet. . . . yesterday, the weather was . . . - sunny, cloudy, rainy, "sleety", "haily", then sunny again. . . . . . Daddy & I had cleaned up the car . . , so naturally I would have it out when it rained, etc. That's life! . . .
. . . . the last City League games , . . . were last night. Lafayette lost to C.B., . . ; and Central beat Benton . . for the championship, . . . It was a really good game . . . Our boys just cannot play two games in a row, . . . . But they all get pretty tired, having to play so long & so often.
Missouri won! . . . Guess we will try to come down this weekend. . . Hope the weather remains good.
Mary Ann . . told me . . her mother took the course John taught - . . . , the "School of Christian Living" . . and she now concluded that John is terrific! . . . . . . . Mary A is . . . thinking about staying home next year and taking some library courses by correspondence.
. . . . . . . . . I'll brief you on the sermon. John began by telling in modern language, the . . story of the prodigal son. . . . . . . ". . . its message and meaning are perfectly clear. . . . Perhaps we have hit the highlights only . . . two sons different in temperament and character. . . . . . . . the younger . . . finally saying, "Give me my . . . rightful inheritance - and let me seek that which I desire." . . . . eventually we exclude God from our lives, if we always demand our rights. . . . . . . . if we expect certain things of our friends, then we do not understand the meaning of friendship. . . . . . .
So it is in marriage. . . . "(it is) not a contract, it is a commitment- . . . . They have no rights, but to love. . . . If (they) have shared affection, joy, and understanding, so much the better. But they have no right to expect these things.
We talk of peace, but we do not work for peace. . . . . . And our nation was just as insistent on the veto power as any other. We demanded our rights . . . .
"We have no rights, but - to protect, to encourage, to enhance, to implement the rights of others." . . . .
. . . We had a nice crowd and a big choir. Tommy is back!. And Miller Lacy and Larry Moore are singing . . . . . . . Bill Rowe's wife had a baby boy last week . . . . I'm being blasted out of my seat again.
Mother & Daddy went out to Kroger's Thursday night, when I was gone. . . . . .
Tonight the Young Adults are meeting. . . . .Tomorrow Mrs. Norris is taking our circle out to supper. . . .
This letter goes on & on, but I always have so much to say.
"Above and Beyond" is at the Trail. . . . Everyone seems to agree with your opinion of it.
Last Tues our faculty had a party at school . . . . . The meal was Potluck . . . Everything was excellent.
The Orphe Delphian banquet is next Wed. - I have an A.A.U.N. meeting that afternoon. . . .
Well, I guess I've rattled on long enough for one day. . . . . we hope to see you Saturday!
Lots of love,
Thanks for the cute Valentine!
