rapidly-too fast for. the Old Year to
go out. A group of youngsters, headed
by Mr.. and Mrs. Reed Shipley, went to
several homes and called Happy New
Year" A bugle sounded taps and other
tunes which we later learned was done
by Harold Teagarden, and he did it
mighty we'll, too.
Most of the people of the community
had gone to bed-guess they were
afraid they would make some New
Years resolutions if they were awake.
But they should not have bothered
about so small a matter. Millions of
Americans were doing the same thing.
Whether they keep them or not is an
other matter.
''The Voice That Failed"
We really are not supposed to men
ton this, but here it is:
We wonder how many of you are
listeners in to the broadcast given by
DR.. Dan Polling over the NBC network.
incidentally DR.. Polling is the editor of
The Christian Herald. This broadcast
was given on October "a in what is
known as the Opportunity" program.
1t was called "The Voice that Failed"
and was the story, and wonderful
story, of a man who had started at the
bottom. He was a lumberjack and a
dozen other things when he felt the
urge to preach the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. He had no educations but he
decided it was time to get one. He
completed an eight=year course in four
years; had call and from. that time
on went forward. At the very height
of his career as a minister his voice
failed him. For several years he fought
this and finally conquered, only to find
that his health was failing. Still he
hung on, and before he had to give up
he had built a church and an old folks
home. Then DR.. Polling said he retired
to the Allegheny Mountains where he
is now trying to regain his health.
There was much more. 1t was such a
great story that copies were issued
from the NBC studio and from DR..
Polling. This story was most interest
ing, particularly to the people of the
Park and Garrett county who are for
tunate enough to know DIR. w. B. Love.
Perhaps more so to us who are his
neighbors. At any rate it has taken
US long time to get much informa-
ton. Certainly we could not get it
from DR.. Love. We are glad he is in
Mountain Lake Park.
