negative word describing the absence of trouble, hardship and distress. In Greek, the word translates as the Hebrew shalom, which means everything that makes for a man’s highest good, calculated to make life truly worth living. Peace, in Christian terminol­ ogy, is something which is quite independent of outward circumstances. A person may live in luxury and ease, having great


possessions, and yet lack peace. On the other hand, one could be starving in prison, or living a life from


thing we ought not to do, or when we are evading something we know that we ought to do. At such times there is, at the back of our minds, a certain uneasiness and lack of peace. We know quite well that even if we are doing something very difficult, even if it is somthing we do not want to do, if we know that it is the right thing to do we have a certain contentment in our hearts. “In His will is our peace.” The only real peace on


earth is in the will of God. JOE STANSFIELD
