REDDICK CLEAR VISRJX OR DISASTER There was once a story told of a lady who almost became blind at the age of (2). Since she was only “49” to other people, poor eyesight along with natural han¬ dicaps tended to increase her de¬ fense mechanism, especially among friends who seemed to accept her given age. She expected many of her friends to a social one day. But before they came, she went out to the gate and stuck a nee¬ dle in the gate post. After her friends arrived, she casually said to her little grandson in the pres¬ ence of her friends, “Johnnie, I see a needle in the gate post; go bring it to me so that I may sew buttons on the baby’s dress.” Although this “49”-year-o!d lady j could not see well, she tried to assume responsibilities cut out for those who see well. Follow¬ ing this practice, we know that she was headed for disaster. There are many of us today who do not have a clear vision. This is perfectly natural for all do not have clear vision; hut it is not practical for one who does not have clear vision to operate an automobile, airplane, or train. To exercise such practices is not fair to those who trust us. It is murder to conceal our handicaps for our selfish reasons at the ex¬ pense of others. It involves life and death, but more death than life. We know that people who have poor physical vision can find a wholesome working relationship in our society; many of them do. j The thing that bothers me most is that so many of us who have poor physical vision attempt to represent major responsibility in spiritual affairs. That which is, does not change because of our poor vision. Many of us set up our relationship b total life situations in harmony with that which our poor vision of life has revealed to us and not in harmony with that which is. We are therefore headed for wrecks and disaster. It is wis¬ dom to apply the necessary effort to clear our vision before we move on with decisions and actions. Scripture reference: Mark 8:24. If we see “men as trees,” our vision is still serious, for we will treat men as we do trees and men are not to be treated as trees i but as brothers. mind If there to is how a j J question in your as brothers should be treated, treat , them as you would like for them to treat you and not as trees. We have much evidence that many of us have such vision to day: 1. We cut them down: stab- j bing them with our knives and stabbing them with our tongues. 2. We make tools of them: tak¬ ing away their rights as men, placing them in positions which will serve our conveniences with¬ out their consent. Our distorted views do not change the fact that man is man and not a tree. We who live as though our poor vision is correct are headed for wrecks and disas¬ ter. Nothing will save us but the applying necessary remendy to clear our poor vision. the Crusade for Voters, an¬ nounced that through the facili¬ ties of WJIV and WSOK, a Sing- O-Rama will be presented' on Wednesday evening, June 8, at St. Phillip A.M.E.

I hope you will find someone to make you happy as you made me happy. . . . May God look upon you and take care of you all throughout your life, . . .
