Bailey a child, I went with my father A and sters in the grandfather Pocomoke tonging for Sound, oy- a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. One day amid a group of boats working the same area, my grandfather struck a small patch of beautiful, single oysters. Other boats became aware of our catch and gathered near but found only the usual. A comparable feeling of discovery came to me in the Bible class of Howard Tillman Kuist at Union Theological Seminary in Richmond. His teaching method was primarily to ask directed questions.

While he was teaching us the Gospel of Luke, I made a discovery of great joy. It was like finding that virgin oyster bed in the Chesapeake Bay. I had read that Gospel many times, but, like the other oyster boats had not made the discovery. I learned John' Wesley's recommendation was true of the Bible: "Learn, mark, read and inwardly digest the Word of God." The entrance of thy words giveth light. (Psalm ONTM Inc.
