Title: ''The Necessary Ingredient for Real Living''
Introduction In the May 15, 1977 issue of Scene, a Dallas magazine, a most interesting article was written by Kate Oliver.

Today, I want you to trust God for the necessary ingredient for real living. What is needed to be triumphant in trials, to be victorious while living in a vice of difficulty? One contemporary and valuable response would be that we need the support of others. This would certainly be a great help, but there are limitations to this response. Neither your family nor your friends can truly walk in your shoes. Another valuable response would be a strongly structured self-image. The limitation to this response is that it can lead to an attitude of stoicism, which calls us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, or it can lead to contempora ...
