FOREWORD
Someone said, "Never mind the beautiful;
give me the durable and the useful." Let that one behold the yellow-gold of
the grainfield, the emerald green of a meadow, the peerless blue of the sky,
the sevenfold beauty of the rainbow, the towering mountains with their
ceaseless lights and shadows, the snowy white of the snow, the glory of the
sunset and the fresh green of the spring. Let him remember that the God Who
made the trunk of the tree also made its autumn coat, the God Who made the
mighty ocean rolls across its top the whitecaps, and the God Who made the
mighty mountains has made for them a sundae-like covering. Yes, we need the
strong and the durable, but we also need to add to that strength and
durability beauty and grace.
To the acquiring of this balance, this
author several years ago set forth a volume called BLUE DENIM AND LACE.
Similar truths were presented in the second BLUE DENIM AND LACE which was
named STRENGTH AND BEAUTY. Now the twins become triplets with the publishing
of GRACE AND TRUTH.
Even the casual reader will note that much
of this volume is directed toward the Christian school movement. It is hoped
that the following words will be an anchor to the drifting and will be used
of God to give strength to the beautiful and beauty to the strong, zeal to
the scholar and knowledge to the zealous, majesty to the honorable and honor
to the majestic, grace to the truthful and truth to the gracious, until it
can be said of each of us as was said of the Stranger of Galilee by one who
knew Him so well, "And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14)
