some pat on the back will live on after
the one who thus encourages another

There recently passed to his reward an
elderly minister. One of the best-known
contemporary preachers in the world
today gratefully declared. at the time of
this older mans passing, that he decided
to enter the ministry because of pat
on the back that this man gave him,
when he said some generous things about

Without that f'pat." he declares, he
would have turned aside from the

strengthened his self respect, who helped
him keep his chin up. He seemed to
sense something great in the young fell

fame as q novelist Dickens, with deep
appreciation, wrote: Dear old Black!

Of elected and appointed officials, ma
tional, State and municipal, will take
the usual oath Of Office and enter upon
their special duties. However elected or
appointed, they are the servants of all
alike, the protectors of the common
wealth, the promoters of the common
veal. AS such they must not be infiu-
enced in legislation, administration or
judicial decisions by personal. social, or
partisan relationships or bias.
To this end each such person should
make for himself or herself an addi-
tional pledge:
Officially I will have no relatives, no
friends. no enemies, and If personally
owe any individual, group, or party any,
thing. I will not pay it from this Office
will not prostitute the public welfare
to personal or partisan favoritism or to
private gain, so help me God.
