SHOW up WIN ana 1lOWers
at q time when we can't thank them
I some times wonder if we are able
to look back, or be at the gathering
when all the crying and shouting is
going on? Il so, wouldn't we be sur
prised to know we had so many
trends or would we find even at this
sad moment some Of them still wear
ing two faces. | wonder. | heard one
OF u pastors say a week or so ago,
that we travel daily down the path of
life and at the end of the path waits
cur casket. That, | really believe, and
we know that this debt we all must
pay, and yet it seems to be something
that our friends and closer ones can't
get used to. We are always glad to
make the last payment on anything
and get a great kick out OF seeing it
marked or stamped, paid in Full'.
Yet this debt, when paid, always
brings tears to our many friends. l
wonder # we, over yonder, are rejoic-
ing. 1t there is a hereafter, and when
we meet over there, and if it is true
that we a look back into life through
the spirit. How would those pretend
ed friends that id so much crying
would feel when you tell them, or
would we be so busy meeting other
friends that had gone before US, that
we would forget all out of the past.
| wonder. But don't you think it
would be better if we would show
more friendship here on earth, stop
lying, fighting and killing each other
SO each Of US would really know in
stead Of wondering? I think so, and
then when we pay our debt. we could
save many tears and hope to meet
them later. You don't have to see it
the way | do, but I hope so.
Before | go into our little chat. /
would like to say that this column is
not a Paxton column, as l have heard.
but it is yours, and 1 invite any thing
IN the way Of doings of the walters.
And remember this is not q scandal
column am always glad to write up
on your parties, club functions or any
thing you like as long as it is respect
full. AS l said time and again. 7 will
not write the dark side or the night
lie OF the walters. If so, we would
be far more popular than the Voice
or any Of the papers that carry that
kind of news, while 1 lasted. So if
you wish to submit SOM news, l will
gladly put yours in with a smile.
Say, don't you know that a man
sometimes gets rich wei the simplest
little things? Who would have
thought that the man that put some
hot chocolate on a piece of ice cream
would make a million, Huh? Well,
last week Mr.. Harris, who has made
g name for himself, was asked to
properly serve a baked potato that J..
Fisher had served a guest. And did
he serve it? I'll say he did, and in
a very sedate way, and then told the
waiter Sc he wouldn't make the same
mistake again. Stay awake, Harris,
n someday you NAV be buttering
that 'tato in a blue uniform. And
who knows that someday we will be
reading, Harris, the Tato King, has
made a million buttering '~tatoes."
| am not expressing our deep sor-
rowing feelings for the long extended
sickness Of u dear friends, Mr.. VIM.
Ousley and Mr.. Leroy Porter. We did
not expect this when Nh. Sickness
called upon them. And we should all
pray to the great Almighty to call
MI. Sickness from the bedside of these
men. Yet, God knows best. We can
at least, ask him. "Oh, God, have
mercy on their souls.
| would like to say just here, and
truly hope that not one Of you VIII
! get offended. Don't you think that it
is a wise thing to do to put Csc or 35c
Per week into some good sick policy
You would feel much better and YOU
could bear the pains easier, and call
the doctor with less fear, and feel bet
ter toward the ones who may be bear
ing your troubles and waiting upon
you. There is SO much more to be
done when you Law flat upon your back
than there is when you are able to
get up, and get out. And the best
friends you got will begin to wear out.
especially when there is nothing to
pay the doctor or the drug store, or
when the landlord begins to show cold
feelings. And sometimes and in some
cases you can not blame the people.
Remember, should the farmer wait
until he found out what kind Of season
It would be, to plant, he would never
nave a crop. So it is in this case. If
you wait until you get sick to get in
surance, you will never have any.
Each day we gamble with life in some
aaway or other. So why not make or
Try to make it a safe gamble by put
tlng a SICK protection on ourself?
I'm not asking you to do this because
l am getting something out of it, but
