Letter To Old
Man Folks
SOME THINGS YOU SAID
TO ME
Oh, ’tis but a recollection
That in memory lingers still;
And a mighty sweet reflection
From yon’ passing, silent hill
Seems my hand is reaching to
wards you,
And I hear you speak again— j
What you said is speaking to me j
O’er life’s mighty hills and
plain.
Yes, your voice if even ten- !
derer,
Now it is that small, sweet
voice—
Speaking now in lovlier whis
pers
That make all my soul rejoice;
And it seems to speak with mu
sic,
Just a wondrous sort of rime;
Ever touching, ever lifting,
Ever keeping up with time.
Dear Old Man Folks:
I keep on keeping on coming
back to you with my get-together
of words. I reckon yon know 1
want you to read them all. The
pay I get for this small effort is I
small, compared to what my read
ers pay me off with—when they
pass me by and say, “Pollywog,
you left with me a pretty little
thought. Two little words, three
little words, maybe a dozen words
out of them all—took up their j
abode within my living room of
Mind. No matter how well I
may try to forget—something you
said to me, or to us all, lives on
within myself.” A pat on the
shoulder and a smile of kind ap
preciation, leaves me in the place |
where I know I belong—Humble j
and feeling humbler because of
the little I am made to feel I have
accomplished. That too, is a rec
ollection that in memory lingers
still. That too, is little seeds ;
dropped into my field of effort—
you need not think for a minute
that they will not grow and bring
forth a more earnest effort, for
the little one talent given, to me
really wants to grow.
Come to think of it folks, it is I
the huge bundle—if I should call
it that—of little things—things j
that so much of the world forget j
and pass over unseen and unfelt,
that mean most to us. Our editor
in a talk to a meeting of teachers, !
the other night—called them have prac- j
tical things. Things we no 1
need to tear apart in order to I
scent the true value of their j
worth—things that drift to us- ]
ward from our God, when the
door of our humble understanding
is left ajar, and the Welcome sign
is rightly displayed. I agree with
our editor as to the worth of
practical things. Theory to the
most of us, have the wings of an
Eagle and is always seeking a
place to light and never does.
The earth is our foundation from
which to push overselves upwards
and abouti What to us can be
more beautiful than lifted, hum
ble hands? In that there is a
picture w i t hin a picture; a call
within a call—and don’t we reck
on that our God sees and listens
beautifully?
How easily it is for us to become
lost and not realize it—so great
a world too, and we so very very
small! We have but to try to see
our weary foot-treads, to try to
see over all of our ego—and there
is nothing beyond save our God
and that He allows us to feel and
see.* Again we feel better on life's
| firma and with humbled hands
i lifted.
Some of us go to school more
j more than others—Far too many
though, go to the schools of Books
and Theory and never to the
i school of Reason and Life. We
need that too, more and more of
it. We should not wait till night
i throws a shadow against our door
before we begin to study serious
ly and beautifully in the School
of Life. It is a bo. k of common
sense and reason, and each page
is written for us each day that
we live. On each page is to be
seen the pictures of peoples—of
their happiness and love; their ro
mances and cares; even a photo
stat of their tenderest prayers and
wishes—their troubles too, give ,
us reasons for living on and do
ing good—it is wonderful to be
able to trade them our tenderest
smiles; and all the bits of happi- j
ness that we can spare, We are ]
rich then—we are educated then:
and we wouldn't trade our new
book for ten thousands worlds’
like this.
