Thought for February 24

[Thompson, Darryl]

     Those who regard the marriage relation as one of God's sacred
ordinances, guarded by His holy precept, will be controlled by the
dictates of reason.  
     Jesus did not enforce celibacy upon any class of men. He came not
to destroy the sacred relationship of marriage, but to exalt it and
restore it to its original sanctity. He looks with pleasure upon the
family relationship where sacred and unselfish love bears sway.
