A number of years ago, I read a story, which may contain more humorous fiction than fact. It told of two worldly friends who went to Coney Island, and the last "attraction" they visited was a shooting gallery where they had celluloid balls propelled by jets of water. The balls rose and fell and when they fell, they fell out of sight. The idea was to hit them as you saw them. The first of the two friends shot all the cartridges in his rifle, but didn't hit one of the balls. Then, the second man picked up a gun took careful aim, shot once, and all of the balls fell. His incredulous friend said, "Bill, that's the most wonderful shooting I ever saw in my life! How on earth did you do it?" Bill replied, "I shot the fellow working the pump!" (adapted from "Knew What To Do") Whether this seems humorous to you or not, when our aim is real, vital, and spiritual, it is no joking matter. We must know what to do, and allow the Holy Ghost to "zero-in-on" and strike a death blow at the source of the problem. --Duane V. Maxey
