A PRAYER
Mr. Adlai Stevenson captured the
attention of many friends with a
Christmas card, bearing the prater
of an unknown Confederate soldier:
I asked God for strength, that I
might achieve,
I was made weak, that I might
learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do
greater things,
I was given infirmity, that I might
do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be
happy,
I was given poverty, that I might
be wise.
I asked for power, that I might
have the praise of men,
I was given weakness, that I might
feel the need of God.
I asked for all things, that I might
enjoy life,
I was given life, that I might en
joy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for, but
everything I had hoped for.
I am among all men, most richly
blessed.
Clip this and put in your family
Bible, and read it often throughout
j 1956. It will help you over many
a rought place in the road of life.
It is a sermon a wonderful phi
losophy of life.
I read the card to a group of
friends at a supper the other night,
and they asked for copies of it. I
predict that it will be one of the
widely quoted passages this year.
We are all under obligations to Mr.
Stevenson for this rare report on
one man's discovery. It could be
come the cherished experience of
many others in a year that may
try the faith of man.
Solomonn, undoubtedly, would
have subscribed to this philosophy.
He wrote, at the last of his color
ful and troubled life:
“Let us. hear the conclusion of
the whole matter fear God, and
keep His commandments, for this
is the whole duty of man. For God
shall bring every work into judg
ment, with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it
be evil.”
County Population 15,000.
Do You Have
Confidence in God?
A prominent Physician said re
cently, “The commonest and most
subtile of all human diseases is
fear”. The world is filled with peo
ple who are worried, anxious, and
distracted the unhappy victims
of slavish devotion to material
things.
One does not need to worry.
Many people allow themselves to
?et into the habit of worrying.
Worry becomes for them a mental
state, a set ow the mind which is
acquired after birth. They were not
born with it. Many are plagued by
the disease of fear. They are fear
ful of losine their jobs or falling
below certain social or economic
standards. They are afraid of los
ing the love of husband or wife,
thev fear least the>r children break
loose from the movings of right
eous instruction. They are afraid
of illness or death for themselves
or their loved ones.
Jesus forbids anxious care. Read
Luke 12: 22-33. There are some
good thoughts in The Sunday
School lesson for January 8, 1956.
Wealth stored un in this world
is subject to loss. But that which
is invested in the work of the King
dom is eternally secure, and the
hearts of those who bestow it are
drawn heavenward. “For where
your treasure is, there will your
heart be also”.
The only cure for enxious care
is trust in God. Overconcem for
material security, which Jesus com
pared to pogamson, can and must
be replaced in the believers heart
by child-like trust in the providence
of the Heavenly Father.
The first words the Angels spoke
to the Shepherds in announcing
the birth of Jesus was “Fear Not”.
Jesus said, "Fear not little flock.
“Luke 12: 32. What a comforting
word of Jesus this is”. It is the
Good Shepherd who assures his
flock that, while anxiously seeking
after food and raiment is vain,
their seeking after the Kingdom
will not be in vain.” It is his will
to give the Kingdom to those who
seek it and, with it, the necessities
of life. Those, however, who neg
lect the Kingdom that they may
secure the necessities may lose
both.

Polio Chairman *
Harriette Wilkes
An appealing college junior whose
victory over polio inspired her to
prepare herself for a career as a
benefit entertainer in hospitals, is
the first Georgia Chairman for
Teens Against Polio.
The appointment of Harriett*
.Nell Wilkes, Wesleyan College
student majoring in music educa
tion was announced today by
Edgar J. Forio*Georgia Chairman
for 1956 March of Dimes.
Harriette recovered from'polio,
a broken neck and glandular fever,
so it is natural that her. ambition
should be to entertain the unfor
tunates confined to hospitals. She
is practicing dancing, oft leg* nos*
strong and agile once com
pletely paralyzed by polio.
• The petite, grey-eyed brunette
is a native of Perry, Florida, where
she coaches two little league boys*
baseball teams every summer. Af
ter completing grade and high
schools in Perry and Dania, she
entered Wesleyan College, in Ma
con, Georgia, where she « a mem
ber of the Glee Club, a ftcrceiskne
instruments performer in the or
chestra, and leader in religion*
activities. She is director ef the
choir of the Park Methodist
Church, Macop, and a Sunday
School teacher.
% In October of 1952, Hariieile
visited a friend in a Dania hospi
tal, and helped the friend eat her
jello dessert, both from the same
spoon. A few days later tlie friend
developed polio. A few oays later,
so did Harriette. She was treated
in the first stage at Children's
Variety Hospital in Miami, para
lyzed from the waist down, ic
turned home for a period, then
returned to a crippled children's
clinic in Ft. Lauderdale. She
learned to walk again and began
a persistent regimen of exercises,
which she faithfully continues.
She shows no signs whatever of
the serious attack.
Miss Wilkes is a talented speak
er. Audiences hearing her tell her
story, and of her ambition, a<e
deeply moved. The Foundation
is convinced that as TAP chair
man she’ll do much to further (tie
fight against the disease she has
personally conquered.
