' v HOW does a Christian grow? Dur ing tluf past three months this has been our underlying question. Now af the year's end we come back to the, point where sit began: to J e s u s Christ When aH is said and done, the best way to describe a ChrUtian's Ufe U not "religious" or "spiritual"? or even "godly much less "pious." The ; best wavo describe It Dr. Foreman 1, to put thS fullest Pof 5S: ing Into the single word "CHRIS TIAN.". , , , . "I Have Been Captured" IN your hymnal you may find r .hymn by the author of-the better-known "O Lov'that,wUfcB?: Iet.me go." It begins with these lines: ' . - "Make me a captive. Lota, ., And then I shan-be free .... . That sounds upside-down.'Captlve and free are opposites, aren't theyT Not when God is the captorl The American translation of PhiL :U says, t '1 have been capiurea iy Jesus Christ" Paul's word was a Strong one; It was the Greek word used when police or soldiers take a man and tie him and lead him off. U People t who i have gone , tar to music: would understand thU. Take two young people, both of whom know something about music, may be bom of them to the same rnuslo school. One of-them has been, cap tured, so to speak, by music, the other has not. That U to say, In plainer language, music has "got hold" of on of them; There is an irresistible fascination about music for him, every day Is too short for the study and practice he wants to do. The other one goes through his lessons, but Tils heart is not In It . We need no propnei m ieu n which of the two will make a good mnslolaa. So It Is with the Christian faith. One who has never been captured by Christ may play around with the Chris- ' Uan faith, as the onesptnred ' mnslo student may flay around the mnslo aelwolr ftut Ws heart f win not be taH.W Vv---' -Name any saint you like to the whole history- ot Christendom, whether famous like St. Francis or Rallincton Booth, or known only to a few; like one of your own ianw perhaps; you always find that this person, whose Ctfristianity , was a livlna and nowernn uung, cnueu Christ Master,! and meant M, ftChrisf Lives 'In Me";!! THERE is a more Intimate way A of putting this. It u true, tne thristian .has been "captured" by Christ. But this would still leave him on the outside. Christ lives In the Christian, as Paul said. For some people this may seem strange and mystical, but It can be under stood by any one : who wants to know what . Christian living - can mean. Christ In the Christian means ' that in every sltnatlon, la every eoBdition, at every tarn of the read,. In the everyday choices and conversations, the Christian " "-will be as much like Christ as he , possibly can. This to one point on , which Christiana of every. name and church agree. Catho i He or Protestant, conservative, .or libera ear differences evape-, ' rate when ear hearts are warm, when we try t think what the , Ideal Christian life to. i . ..... -' Righ-level Christian f r o m all over Christendom would all come out with the same Story that Paul put Into classic words: I live, yet not I, but Christ Uveth in me.- v "Abide"' " ft ft BIDE . In mo and 1 In you, . said Jesus. That Is a com mand and a promise. But the com mand comes first Whether we think of the Christian as -"In" Christ or Christ as "In" the Christian, It should be a long story, not a short one. Is the sunshine" In the flower or the flower In the sunshine T Welt both. Put the flower in the sunshine and keep it there, and the sunshine will get Into the flower.

By TOM WICKER All ' the neighbors agreed that young" Jimmy Williams' family had a right .to bo .worried about him. Here was aooy on tne roaa 10 crime if ever there was one, they said. :; IHo ought to be whipped," was the ln-a-outshell evaluation of Jim my given by on man who lived near the WiUU..- family, himself the father of two1 boys about the same age. 15-year old Jimmy nao been getting Into . trouble of one kind or another for the past four years. Most of, it was Just trouble with bid family staying out late, failing to tome borne for meals, un ruly behavior in the home. VV ; f But duriril bis 15th year, tne neighbors who had look at him ask ance found new cause for their feelings. Jimmy was picked up by the law and turned over to Juve nile Court authorities for a series of breaking and entering offenses of a minor nature which had been definitely traced to him. . : Oddly enough, this ' may have been the best thing that ever hap pened to Jimmy. Not the breaking and entering, of course, but the en counter with the Juvenile Courtr which does not merely pass sen tence on guilty parties, or acquit innocent ones. It seeks to delve in to the background Of whatever of fense has been committed and to set the youngsters Involved on better eourse. ' '-'.- fi-;i , Consequently, in Jimmy's case.J the county Welfare.

' :;.;;':i-'";, ; Investigation of the family con firmed this ' Indication. . Jimmy's mother was highly emotional and unstable, herself; at one moment she would lavish love and affection on the .boy, but at the slightest hint of -misbehavior on his part she flew into, a rage and would punish him severely.. An hour after, she might again lavish .affection on him. Through her, . Jimmy received no constructive guidance in changing bis ways.

Doffermyje denied any improper procedure In the case, but I was turned over to the State Bar Association for study.

The stepfather was not unkind to Jimmy, nor did he lack affection for him;, he simply took up little time with blm and never made it clear to the boy that he was an integral part of the family, that he was loved as a son should be loved by his father. 1 , " - The family- situation left Jimmy with no solid foundation for living. His feeling that he was unwanted at home led'hlm to seek a place oi attention outside and his mother's bursts of affection and censure in creased his tendency to unruly be havior,' " : As a result of all this investiga tion, Jimmy was placed for a short period in a training school.; Al though ' this 'was considered neces sary as a remedial step, It was do'ne mainly to give the case worker an opportunity to work wKlrhis fam-J ily, where his real trouble lay. one of the simplest yet most effective, suggestions this worker was able to make was that the stepfather legally adopt Jimmy, thus increas ing his feeling of belonging to the family.
