 Now-a-days
it could come in any mail! Dear brother Turner:
This
man left his wife because he heard her call a strange name in
her sleep; and she acted real queer when he faced her with the
facts. Naturally he divorced that woman.
But
this man had had an affair before his marriage — just a High
School kind of thing — I guess some would call it fornication.
He was so sorry about it all, and this was before he was
baptized so he took care of this when he repented in the aisle.
The girl had married a local boy; but now that the father of her
child was free they began seeing one-another again — just to
talk over old times.
But
when she would talk to her child's real father, like in a bar on
Saturday night, her husband acted awful about it. He made her
life miserable, and she wouldn't feel like coming to church on
Sunday. Oh, I forgot to tell you, this girl has been a Christian
for many years. When she had this baby she walked down the
aisle, and cried, and all that, and got it straight with the
church.
Well,
things got so bad, and her not going to church and all, that she
finally left her husband and married the father of her

child. Some might think this was wrong;
but mother, father, and child belong together, I always say. For
several weeks they came to church, and looked so spiritual there
on the same pew.
Then,
we had a visiting preacher who preached on Jesus and the
Pharisees, and he just dwelt on Matt. 19:9, and made everybody
so uncomfortable. It really upset this precious little family,
and the next thing we knew the man had left town. He told one of
our deacons he was going to take his first wife back, because he
didn't want to do anything that would keep him out of heaven.
But
his first wife had married another man, and she wouldn't come
back. Now brother Turner, this man has written me the nicest
letter and he wants to marry me. Since he has done all he could
to make everything right, my question is, "Don't you think
our marriage would be scriptural?"
Reply:
O.K.,
I don't! Objectively, the end of line one, this column, is very
scriptural. By the way, do you think Dr. Bob and Lisa will ever
remarry?
