Mr. Klassen Composition and Literature IX X TESTINGS It appears that most people go through two periods of intense shaking-up in their lifetime. This shaking-up is in the realm of attitudes and choices. During hie teen-age and early adult years- the years the young person characteristically feels sin urge to challenge the conditions and attitudes he finds around him. His reactions range in intensity from looking at the other side of the coin and questioning the answers , to an outright rejection of the establishment . Surprisingly, this youthful turbulency, usually fades into a more settled manner of life. But before too long the maturing person finds himself being shaken up again. Only this time the attitudes and convictions are being assailed by his own children glorying in their new found critical abilities as though they are the first in history thus talented. At present I am living in the lull between the stormy periods of life. I am thankful for having survived the first shaking-up and am somewhat apprehensively looking ahead to the second. In the meanwhile, however, I can see these upheavals in the lives of others, especially in the highechool setting. The quest¬ ion arises, Why has God ordained these experiences for mankind? He answers in His Word where He speaks of the benefits of trials, as for instance, Count it all joy, my brethren when you meet with various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastmess 1 ' (James 1:2,3)» For the Christian, at least, the close examination of his faith, the reassessment, of his convictions will result in a stronger, purer faith. These storms need not drag him down to the level of inter-personal conflict but will rather lead to a better life. -Mr. John Klassen 4
