LETTERS: PARENTS SHOULD TRY USING PSYCHOLOGY STICKS

To the editor:

It seems that America and the world are at a loss for a solution to mankind's problems and are getting more confused every day trying to find an answer.

On the TV talk shows everyone seems to try to give their opinions about solving all kinds of problems, but they still see all these things happening daily at increased frequency. What are we going to do?

Man, with all his intelligence and philosophy, has simply failed to look in the right place for the answer. Most educators claim to agree that the solution to our problems must begin in the home, and then they lay out all kinds of plans, and their plans don't work.

I believe I know a plan that would stop a lot of problems and confusion, and I've had it proven in my own life that is will work. I began learning about this plan when I was a very young child, and it made me a lot better person that I would have been without it. It was a plan my dad learned from a book called the Bible. His method of carrying out the plan was the utilization of psychology sticks, which he kept in a bundle over the door where he could easily reach them when the need arose.

One or two monthly psychology lessons were quite sufficient to ensure that I obeyed my parents' instructions without an contradictions. These psychology sticks were small, thin branches from a hickory tree, and I lived through every application of them.

Another thins we were taught was that after we knew right from wrong, we were accountable to God and needed to be born of the spirit of God. I'm sorry I didn't obey that teaching until I was a grown many, but I'm thankful that they loved me enough to instill the fact in my heart and mind.

The Bible teaches, "Train up a child in the way that he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Parents, why not try it?
