Daily Bread
By JACK ARNOLD
Pewter, Pembroke MetkodHt
Church
"Give us this day our daily bread.”
—Matthew 6:11.
“I am the bread of life.”
—John 6:48
In 1928 there was a man who
was very rich. He provided all
the material things his wife and
young daughter could want. There
were maids, cooks and chauffeurs.
There was an expensive private
school for the daughter. One fall
morning in 1929 the man woke up
to an entirely different world. The
Depression had bankrupt him. He
lost his home, most of its furnish
ings, and the many comforts that
went with his high business posi
tion. He was able to secure an
employment paying a meager sal
ary. They could barely get by,
so busy evenings of entertainment
or business were past. The family
stayed at home nights. One eve
ning the little girl clambered up
into her father’s lap and put her
arms around his neck and said,
"Papa, don’t get rich again. When
you were rich, you were much too
busy to play with me. It’s so much
fun to be pood.”
When Jesus taught us in the
Lords’ Prayer to pray for our
daily bread, there must have been
in his mind all the necessities of
life. For some, necessity is com
fort and security, while for others
it is love and companionship and
the sense of accomplishment.
Money can give us comfort and
security but it cannot give us love,
companionship and a sense of ac
complishment. Were Jesus to have
elaborated on this sentence in the
Lord’s Prayer, he might have done
so in this way, “Provide for us
the physical necessities of the day
that our bodies might be well and
strong to do the work to be done;
give us minds needing intellectual
nourishment that they might be
sharpened for the defense of the
faith against the cunning of the
world; satisfy our spiritual needs
that our faith might be strong
against temptation and that it
might endure the faithlessness,
coldness and death that is a part
of this world’s life.”
He would be particularly con
cerned about our physical welfare.
Jesus always had his eyes open for
ways that he might relieve phy
sical need. It is God’s will that
the hungry be fed, the naked be
clothed, the sick be doctored and
the demented be cared for. There
are individuals of all sorts of spe
cial needs to whom Christianity
much minister today. Our task in
America is difficult not because
there is so much need, but be
cause the majority is so content
ed that they rarely take thought
of the hungry, sick and afflicted.
Then beyond this, we often are so
sympathetic and helpful towatd
people in physical need, but are
not the least concerned that they
might be spiritually lost. We
equate the welfare of the commun
ity in terms of those of physical
want when the real question may
be one of spiritual need. We spend
millions of dollars to educate chil
dren and youth in history and sci
ence, but just let them pick up as
best they can an education about
morals and ethics. It is no won
der that there are so many cases
of unethical business practice
turned up and that there is such
an economic value to immorality
in literature and the arts when
public education has been devoid
of courses on morals and ethics
since the turn of the century. In
order to survive we need more
than bread and meat, clothes and
shelter, and medical care. Moral
ity and ethical conduct should be
ax much a part of our childrens’
education as is English or math.
These are just as basic a necessity
to the survival of our way of life
as food to our physical life.
When Jesus said that He is the
bread of life, He pointed up an
other truth that deals with our
soul’s life. The person whose phy
sical and intellectual needs are sat
isfied may be good citizens, pro
ductive workers or business men,
and desirous of seeing righteous
ness done. But he is still not com
plete and he will not be complete
until He brings out into the open
his need of communion with his

Former Pembroke
Teacher Is Sav'h
'Teacher of Week'
Friends of Mrs. S. M. Morgan
were pleased to read in a recent
issue of the “Savannah Evening
Press” that she had been chosen
Savannah’s “Teacher of the
Week,” Especially Interested were
Mrs. Morgan’s former students at
Bryan County High School where
she was a popular teacher. A
charming and typical likeness of
the former Miss Selma Horne,
daughter of Mrs. D H. Horne and
the late Mr, Horne, accompanied
the write-up which was on the
school page.
Following is the story as it ap
peared in the Savannah paper:
A new school just organized and
not yet in its permanent building
furnishes the Teacher of the Week
this week—Mrs. Selma Morgan of
Bartlett Junior High School.
Mrs, Morgan teaches two “core”
periods of seventh grade social
studies and English and three
periods of eighth grade English.
She moved to Bartlett this fall
from Charles Ellis Elementary
School, where she taught for the
past three years and a commen
dation for “excellent work” fol
lowed her to her new post.
Mrs, Morgan is the kind of
teacher student don’t forget. This
past summer a former student now
living in Florida made a long de
tour here for a visit with her and ,
another came down from Atlanta.
“Some of my best friends are boys
and girls I huve taught," says Mrs.
Morgan.
Altogether, Mrs, Morgan has
been in school work for 20 years,
first at Soperton, then at Way
cross, then at Pembroke for eight
years and now in Savannah. She
has taught English, history, arith
metic, Latin and much more from
the seventh to the 11th grades, but
her special love is seventh and
eighth grade English and Georgia
history and the boys and girls
who study these subjects.
"I don t know of any work that
gives you so many dividends,” she
says, “as teaching."
Mrs. Morgan is a graduate of
Georgia Southern College from
which she “accidentally” received
both an elementary and a high
school teaching certificate. (She
just kept electing education
courses and ended up with two
teaching qualifications). Besides
her classroom work, she has work
ed with the Boys Safety Patrol
from her first year in Savannah
and last year was secretary of the
Charles Ellis faculty.
Hobbies are reading, sewing,
cooking and her family, who call
her “the best cook in the world.”
Husband, S. M. Morgan, is district
manager of the state income tax
office here. Daughter Marcia is
a 10th grader interested in crea
tive writing at Savannah High
School. Home is in Windsor For
est.
About the new building Mrs.
Morgan and her class will enter
in a few weeks, she says, “We
think we’re the luckiest folks on
earth.”

on minority race groups.
Dr. Henry J. Stokes, 52, pastor
of the church for 11 years, an
nounced his resignation at the
morning service, effective Jan 1.
“The content of my preaching,
particularly as regarded justice
to minority race groups, did not
set well with some in the church,”
Stokes said.
HE EMPHASIZED there had
been no row or open rebellion.
“I just came to the conclusion
■ that a good many people wanted
। me out of the pulpit,” Stokes said.
“The people said I preached over
• their heads, but it wax the gen-
I era) unfolding in my sermons over
> the years that my ideas were dis
- ferent from a large segment of
the church that brought about the
, resignation.”

। when he announced hix resigna
tion, Stokes acknowledged that
the scope of his thinking and "the
, utterances from his pulpit do not
• contain the familiar soothing
। sounds desired in some quarters,”
