ANY MAN TO ANY MAN
By GERALD STANLEY LEE

DO not know how other men feel about it but find
it hard with all that is happening 10 the world today
to look a small boy in the face.
When small boy looks trustn8iy up 10 me and
| see his world the world he thinks he is going to
have, in his eyes, am afraid
The look in his eyes Of the world he thinks he is
going to have cuts me to the quick.
have always felt had an understanding with
small boy before.
But the last four years when he looks at me in that
old way and think of his world-he one see in his
eyes-the one had mysef-the one every small boy
has right to, see suddenly instead the one that is
being left over for him by me- by all of u.s. the one he will
have to try TO put up with have TO live in have TO be
man in, when you and have stopped trying
Then when face the small boy want TO go off
in wide high place alone and think and ask Cod. |
want to go down into the city and f8ht-fght with my
money and with my hope, so over the top with my
religion and then come back and face the small boy
There are days during this struggle when my soul
is spent and all the world seems made Of iron and glass
and all these crowds Of people focking through the
streets who do not seem to care
It seems as if would not turn over my head to save
world TO live in myself t.. 1t does not matter about
me-and some days the people see so by almost
make me think it does not matter about Them
Then suddenly go by troops of school children at
four o'clock pouring out into the streets, pouring
like fire. pouring ike sunshine out into the streets!
It as the rob Of drums for the Liberty Loan!
want to ring great church bells to call people TO
the Red Cross!
My rule for mans finding out just how much he
should subscribe to the Red Cross is this
Put down your name and address on the blank
and leave the amount open TO think. Then Try going
past schoohouse about four o'clock when the children
are pouring out
Or in the evening when the house is quiet put
down your name and the best figure you dare on the
white paper
Then so upstairs minute and look in the crib
Then look at your blank when you come down
once more.
