waited ,Aint Haggar's Chilluns
most is the saving =. 1T is MORE
BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO
RECEIVE and in expounding
and applying that doctrine, none
has been more skillful than Amt
Haggars Chilluns, a fact that has
kept Amt Haggar's Chilluns out
Of lot of the blessing of "giv-
ing" because they've mostly con-
trived to be always on the receiving
end. So deeply ingrained in US
have become this idea of always
being on the receiving end, that
now, where in a lot of cases we
can afford to give we are still
content with letting the "Bless-
ings" of giving almost completely
alone. | though about what Pm
trying to say to you-alls while
was in my favorite corner with my
fish and beer listening to some of
Amt Haggar's Chilluns talking
about "How Much" some Of the
new oil rich, and some others
mongst Amt Haggar's Chilluns am
paying in Income Tax to Uncle
sam !. When | kept on listen
ing to what | was hearing | could
see how, cause we started off with
SO little, we had gotten our think
ing SO mixed up as regards this
business of Giving and for a
time almost started thinking
that We, Amt Haggar's Chilluns,
had figured it out that the MAS
TER invented that saying 1T
is MORE BLESSED TO GIVE
THAN TO RECEIVE as
scheme to help beat somebody out
of something for nothing, but of
course | kept myself from going
to such an extreme. Now fact is
though, that if those amongst US
would study a little more about the
art of giving, and what is meant
in the saying, 1T is MORE
BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO
RECEIVE, we'd soon be on a high
rr road in some Of our most cher
ished institutions, and programs
And III the matter of Income Tax
particularly, there's heap OF
toiks amongst us, who could do a
lot of BLESSED" giving with
good part Of the money they're
paying Uncle Sam and still not
make him mad and win a bigger
and better place (the Blessings) |
in the heart of the folks and from
Him who issues out the blessings. |
1T JEST AMT so What |
we're talking about is that gossip |
going the rounds about a certain
Big Time Night Club operator be-
ing caught in rather embarrassing
circumstances by his wife in town !
here somewhere the other day. |
Well, it amt so. 1t wasn't none |
of his wife. 1t was so his wife |
says, one Of his other girl friends
who did the "ketching," and fur
ther more she says she don't want |
her name involved in that mess.
BROTHER JACKSON of |
Central Methodist Church has |
been seen around for the past few
days with a patch over one eye.
Don't worry about no gossip |
though, because he's long since
been beyond the age of combat.
