PROFOUND SIMPLICITY
“If all of us had the good common sense found in one of our most ancient nursery rhymes, we would be better off. Jack Sprat could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean;/And so between them both,
They licked the platter clean. Now this is an amazingly profound analysis of personality structure, believe it or not. Constitutionally, Jack Sprat and Mrs. Sprat are entirely different. Don’t try to make them both eat the same way, or live the same way. That would be a violation of their personalities. They are both valuable human beings even though they are totally different in their makeup.” If more churches and families could grasp the truth of this little nursery rhyme, our efforts would produce many more clean platters.
