late you on the article "The
Woman Taken in Adultery."
It is a fine piece of teach-
ing and writing. I think the
insights are excellent.
Something occurred to me
while reading the article.
Jesus replied to the Phar-
isees by writing in the
dust, as we know. Jesus
was also reminding them
by writing in the dust, that
from dust they were
formed and to dust they
shall all end. They would
have understood this quite
clearly. In between dust to
dust, there is no one life
cent changes made to the
War Cry have been well re-
ceived. I particularly enjoy
your Bible studies, includ-
ing "The Woman Taken in
Adultery." I remember
William Barclay's com-
ments on this passage as
he invoked the Greek word
for writing in the sand.
Barclay said that the
Greek word, literally trans-
lated, indicated Jesus was
writing specific sins com-
mitted by the woman's ac-
cusers. It is almost laugh-
able ... the "holier than
thou" Pharisees with
stones in their hands hav-
ing their own specific sins
spelled out in the sand.
No wonder, then, they
dropped their stones and
left when Jesus chal-
lenged them, "If any one
of you is without sin, let
him begin stoning her."
much as I am a fan of the
changes you have brought
with a new look and for-
mat, I think there is a need
for more careful editing.
A good case in point is the
interview with Major Dan
Hudson in the "Prison Min-
istry" issue. I think I know
what he meant when he
said, "That pig farm was
the Adult Rehabilitation
Center program or Harbor
Light program." But I can
hear ripples of protest all
there is no one sin greater
than another, whether it
be an unwholesome hid-
den thought or adultery.
There can be no finger
pointing.
