Odrell Butler has begun his
work as collector of garbage and
refuse on the East Side of Port
land. Butler is now serving 800
customers and his business is
growing. He is the only Negro
to apply for, and to be granted
this type of license. Perhaps you
wonder why 1t is significant that
we relate this to you. There are
several reasons: 1t is one more
opening for a Negro worker to
earn an honest living and any
opening Is important to us. He Is
self-employed. He was granted
his license by the city in the reg

SERMONETTE
BY Mary M. Duncan

t"at W. 1NAA~af
Because He Lives Death
Holds No Fear for the
Children of God
The Psalmist said. Yea, Though
l walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, will fear no
evil: for thou art with me" FPS.
23:D.
Should the Lord larry, each
one of US will one day enter
the valley of the shadow of death.
When we reach its opal gates,
they will be swung ajar by the
one from whose girdle bangle the
keys of hell and death, and we
will pass through without fear.
Will the One who has been our
Guide and Friend in life desert
us in death? Nay
In death, as in life, His promises
are sufficient: 10, l am with
you always, even unto the end
of the world" when thou pass
est through the waters, I will
be with thee; and through the
rivers. they shall not overflow
thee" How combofting and fear
allaying is the promise of God:
AT evening time there shall be
light" How rayless and starless
the night of death would be IL
Jesus should fal us when we
enter the valley of the shadow
of DEATH But He never fails!
A small boy from a non-Chris-
tian home had been brought into
the Sunday School. His mother
was not only unsaved, but she
had a morbid fear of death. On
Easter Sunday, the lad was all
attention as the teacher related
the story of the resurrection of
Christ's body from the grave, and
His victory over death. He hast.
ened home as fast as his little
feet would carry him, and with
shining face, he exclaimed to his
mother, Oh, mother, you needn't
be afraid of dying any more, for
Jesus went through the grave and
left a light behind HIM" In death,
His Illuminating presence renders
Gods child en- unafraid, and fills
their hearts with confidence and
joy.
Paul said, as he approached
deaths portals, II am now ready
to be offered, and the time of
my departure is at hand"

an interesting Union angle to this
whole situation. Here's the story:
Several months ago our Indus
trial Department opened a coun-
selling program with Odell Butler.
The conferences resulted IN the
decision that Mr.. Butler would
endeavor to start a garbage col
lecting business. Butler bought
a truck made to specifications:

ers; and applied for membership

MRS. BERTHA BAUCH DELIVERS BETHEI'S
SR. MISSIONARY DAY ADDRESS FEB. 29

Some form Of escape from
reality IS a common experience
of people as members Of a Soc
iety. This is particular the case
of persons living In our society;
here the culture is very complex
is changing rapidly and, therefore
social Reorganization is one Of
its cospicuous features. Under such
condition of group life. problems
of personality adjustment are diff
ficult and perplexing and individ.
ual disorder seems to gain the
opportunity for a wide range Of
expression.
It is well for US to be clear
at the outset as to the meaning
of escape from reality. Reality
is that situation in which people
are aware of the presence Of prob
lens to be solved. difficulties to
be overcome, intentions to be ex-
ecuted ana goals to be reached.
Escape is that psychological pro-
cess by which people. In the face
of critical situation. evade the
necessity of coping with It by
finding themselves In an Illusion
airy world = the mental world
in which there is. psychological
at least. no problem.
In this way the persons find
temporary relief from their re-
sponsibilities. Not too infrequently
people escape from reality, al
though only temporary. In fact,
as general and common is this
tendency that we feel sorry and
kindly toward the one In which
that has become habitual. Whether
persons escape from reality by
way of getting sick, getting
drunk, or "daydreaming". some
of us feel that we knew why
they do it" and we offer an ex-
PLANTATION in terms of personality
makeup or some other forces
which are beyond control.
In our every day life we come
face to face with people who.
when confronted by a critical sit
uation, either refuse or fail to
make a realistic adjustment to
life problems. Feeling inadequate
or insecure they may put off to
the indefinite what they have
come to regard as "gruesome"
tasks. In this instance the indi-
vidual, instead of lacking the job
to-day and getting It over with,
puts it off. The more he put it
off, however. the more difficult
the task becomes. Tomorrow" is
just another day to him who
seeks to solve his problems by
flight into the future.
