“Be ashamed to die until you I
have won some great victory for i
humanity," a man once said. And
it should be the aim of everyone
of us.
. James Russell Lowell once
wrote: “Not failures, but low aim
is crime.” However low aim is
better than no aim at all. And
really it is the law of life that
we learn to do by doing so why
should we be discouraged be
cause to begin with we can’t
perform a task as well as some j
other might? “Before we can be- !
come Master we must first be ;
slave.”
Should the realization of the
fact that what we start out to do,
will never be noticed by the
masses, deter us in our effort to
do something worthwhile?
No! for in reality the greatest
heroes go unsung. What does it
matter whether the world knows
of the littJe kind deeds we try to
do. What matter though we never
get credit or have the stage lights
flooded over us for what we try
to accomplish? After all it is
the Lord who sees and knows
all and it is the reward he will
give that matters.
Did he not say “A cup of cold
water given in the name of
Jesus will not lose its reward.”
For instance a certain beloved
pastor they used to have here
at County Line used to go out
not a member at County Line. |

FIRST GRADE NEWS
Mn. Ramsey's Class
Two boys in our class had birth
days last week. Tim Autry and
Tim Hay were both seven years
old. They were “King for the
day” and led the line to recess
and home. Tim Hay’s mother
brought cup cakes for every child
in our class; so Tim had his birth
day partly at school.
Debbie Kirkley has had chick
en pox and had to be absent for
several days. She also had a baby
brother arrive at her house. His
name is Tommy.
Today, almost every boy and
girl in our class wrote to one
hundred by ones, ten and fives.
It isn't long until Valentine
Day. We hope we can celebrate in
our new building. We are learn
ing some Valentine songs.
We were proud of our March of
Dimes collection and to have a
small part in fighting polio.
We haven't been outside to play
in so long. One day last week
during our indoor recess, several
little girls “composed” and prac
ticed a “play.” The next day at
recess, they presented it for the
class. The title of the play was
“Colored Ribbons" and the ac
tresses were Margie Durden,
Mary Margaret Allgood, Celia
Price, Elaine Wood, Diane Mas
sey, Marcia Elizer and Barbara
Ann Harcrow. Hollywood has
some script writers, directors and
actresses in the making, accord
ing to the first grade audience.
WHAT I THINK OF
MISS DOROTHY
By Peggy Porterfield
I think Miss Dorothy Lee is
very funny when she cocks her
head on one side and looks down
Church, I go to County Line and
think its a wonderful church.
The present pastor is also much
beloved and stands always ready
to render humble service. Here
is another instance of a woman
I knew several years ago and
by the way, she happened to be
a Methodist, but what does it
matter they are all good.
This woman of whom I speak
lived in Marion County. She had
: always been a hard working,
energetic woman. Then one day
tradgedy struck. She took creep
ing paralysis. Medical science
could do her no good, slowly the
months dragged by, she grew
steadily worse, she lost the use
of her limbs and became a wheel
chair victim, she hurt, but she
did not complain. She even lost
her voice and when her vocal
chords would no longer work,
she couldn’t talk, she would sit
and smile. That took courage and
hers was that dauntless kind that
knew no defeat. This was the
lesson she gave to the world be
fore God took her.
Mrs. Robert Cook, Margaret
Yancey, Joe and Brenda Satter
field rode to Covington to see
Mrs. Lizzie Steadham Sunday
evening.
The Dials of the Jolley Home
were present at the church here
again Sunday.
The “gospel light” missionaries
and singers will be at County
and help busy mothers clean up
little fellows — wash their faces
— so they could go to church, all
this because parents were so
proud with duties that they could
n’t get all the children ready in
; time. The world didn’t know a-
I bout this. The pastor did not
| wish for notice for this humble
service. Now don’t think I’m try
| ing to boost my church, for I’m
her nose at me. I try to do the
same but I get too tickled, be
cause I know that Miss Dorothy
means business and I had better
not giggle.
Sometimes Miss Dorothy scares
me and the whole class and some
times we all have to laugh, espe
cially if she paints our noses
when we are bad.
I think Miss Dorothy is euie
and funny and I love her very
much.
Just have eight on our perfect
attendance list. Two missed this
i month. We had only three ab
sentees last week; two today.
We will be happy to be able
to get out and play ball again.
Recess inside isn’t as much fun.
