Ahead of you the highway unwinds like
a carelessly coiled rope. But firmly under
you is a car designed to take roads like this
in easy stride. Beneath that gleaming Ford
hood, 225 eager horses await your orders.
Nudge the gas pedal. Gently now ... look!
That truck that was ahead of us b now
safely behind. See that flat “S" curve ahead?
With Ford’s low center of gravity and ball-
joint front suspension, well follow its twist-
ing turns in sure-footed safety. There, we’re
through it, and it was fun!

Too Late For Last Week
Lorene Johnson
Forgiveness is more a gift
ourselves than it is to the one we
forgive. For as long as we resent,
condemn and nurse hurt feelings^
We cannot be free and happy.We
are rejecting the joy of living.
Our hearts are filled with the
forgiving love of God through
the practice of prayer. How oft
shall ... I forgive him? . . .
Until seventy times seven. Matt.
