Miami Postman,
Who Stored Mail
For Negroes In
Closet Is Dead

MIAMI, Fla. (ANP)- Rollie
Veale, the old white mailman who
gained notoriety when he stacked
letters due for delivery in the Ne
gro section in his bed room closet,
is dead.
The old man whose red nose
and lame foot were a familiar
sight to Negroes was fired by post
al authorities last month for negli-
gence in delivering the mail.
For 25 years he had delivered
mail in the section, but he began
to find it more pleasant to sit on
his porch on the borderline be-
tween the white and Negro area.
He stored the mail which he col
lected from the post office each
day in his closet for future de-
livery.
The people whose letters he
held in sa~fe-keeping were SYM
pathetic and there was more
laughter than censure when his
infraction Of postal regulations
was discovered.

Love With an IF

eaTtn.
Love With an IF
pUT HOSEA goes further than
- this. Even the religions that
teach the love Of God do not always
understand It. That there are ia
vorites Of heaven" is an idea COM
mon to many religions, ancient
and recent.
The notion that God loves those
who love him, tina. his love is a
reward for good behavior. that he
loves good people but not bad peo-
pie, in short that he loves only the
loeable-this Is believed by a great
many. but 1t is not true. To put 1t
in another way: Many religions,
and even some persons in the He
brew and Christian religions, sup
pose that God loves US with an IF.
Some Of the more primitive
religions think Of God as loving
only II he feels like II, II he
happens to be in the right mood.
There Is no telling when he
may love and when not; he Is
as unpredictable as spring
weather. The higher religions
know better: God Is not capri
cious and impulsive like q child.
But still sometimes even In bet
ter religions God is thought of as
loving with an IF. If you love me
Che is thought of as saying) ! will
love you. If you r good enough to
love. I will love you. If you earn
my love. / will pay you by loving
you.

The Cost of Love

$Oot Vi LUNC
THE DEEPEST TRUTH Of all Is
n which Hosea partly sees,
but Is fully seen only In the New
Testament. Gods love for sinners
is costly. 1t is not a light thing,
easily given.
As Hosea's forgiving Of
Conner cost him much, SO the
love of God for his wandering
children costs him more. That
this Is true, Hosea realizes.
But to know what the love of God
really costs, we have to stand In the
light of Calvary. Paul speaks Of
the church of God which he pur-
chased with his own blood" There
can be no higher price than that.
