THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1939
LINDA’S BIRTHDAY PRESENT
(By Mrs. Earl Miller.)
Linda Mae was very angry the day she
received a small box of candy from her
Aunt Mary in North Carolina. Just to
think after she had crocheted Aunt Mary
a beautiful bedspread and sent for a birth
day present, and then when her own
birthday comes, well, just a plain box of
home-made candy.
‘Til not open the box,” she said. “I
don't like home-made candy,” and so she
put it away unopened.
"Linda,” her mother said, “I am
ashamed of the way y.ou are acting over
the candy Aunt Mary sent. Os course
it was just a little token of love. What in
the world could a girl wish so gir
that is so abundantly provided for as
you are?”
"Well, it hurts,” said Linda, "to thin!
of all the time and work I did on the
spread and to think Aunt Mary did not
appreciate it; not enough to even write
a letter and say a word about it.”
"Just forget about it, my dear,” said
her mother. “I’m sure there must have
been a very’ good reason for it. so don't
judge before you know. Besides it is not
Christian-like to criticize others.
•‘Well. I'll hush,” said Linda. “How
ever. I do say it's a profound mystery.”
Thanksgiving was drawing near and
the young people's missionary group were
planning on filling boxes for a donation
to the old people who were no longer
able to work. And so Linda was appoint
ed to go over her small home town and
take down the names of those who really
need, and would appreciate, a box. She
took down the names of a dozen old peo
pie. Among these was Miss Minnie Jones,
an old maid who had worked in the only
mill of that little town every since she
had been old enough to work. But th<
mill had been shut down now for a long
time, and Mjiss Minnie’s savings were
about gone. What would become of her?
Winter was coming fast; she wouldn't be
ible to get herself any warm clothes, or
buy coal or wood to keep warm, or no
food. But Miss Minnie didn't believe God
would let her freeze or starve. She pray
ed night and day that God might help
her to get the things she needed so badly.
That morning she had eaten her last
bite of meat and had but just a smaf
amount of flour and potatoes. She decided
she would spend the day in reading th:
Bible and praying to God for held. An
so she was doing that when Linda ar
rived at her home to add her name to th<
list. She told Linda all about her trou
hie and about her praying all day.
Os course, Linda was very sorry so
ihs old lady and told her they were go
ing to give her a box of eats tomorrow.
Early next day the young folks begat
packing the dozen boxes which were to b<
delivered by dinner time to the old pec
pie that they might have a real Thanks
giving dinner. Some sent cakes and pies
'thers sent chickens, turkeys and every
"hing that they thought the old peopl
might enjoy.
Linda decided she would send her littb
■x of home-made candy, which Ann'
Mary had sent her for a birthday present
d so she slipped it in Miss Minnie
.Tones' box.
When the boxes were all ready, one o r
the young men of the town delivered
' hem
Linda and the other girls went back
borne to get ready for a Thanksgiving
urogram that was to be at the church that
afternoon.
Linda told her mother how sorry sh
felt for those poor old people they had
sent the boxes to. But’ she said it seemed
like her heart went out more to Miss
Minnie Jones, for she had been such a
hard-working old lady and now she was
so pitiful since she can no longer work.
She told her mother she felt so mean
just sending Miss Minnie the little box
of home-made candy—something she
didn’t want herself. Maybe Miss Minnie
didn’t even care for candy; she felt s<
guilty. But she would try to help Miss
Minnie along another time.
The next day after Thanksgiving, the
postman arrived at Linda's home with
two letters —one from Miss Minnie Jones
thanking her for the S2O she had found
tucked away in the nice box of candy.
"Dear girl,” it read, “surely God will
bless you in so many ways. Now I shall
have food and coal for awhile.”
The other was from Aunt Mary, say
ing, "Dear Linda, I’m surprised at no
hearing from yon. I hope you enjoyed th’
money I sent and the candy. I was toe
busy to write just then, but was sure you
would understand. I have been working
awfully hard so I could send you the
S2O for your birthday.”

IN MEMORY.
In memory of my dear uncle, Hoke
Willingham, who died Oct. 22, 1939, at
the age of 34 years. He was married in
1932 to Jewel Ayers, of Menlo. He hai
lived most all his life near Menlo, until
three years ago he moved to Fugazzi fruit
farm on Lookout mountain near Fort
Payne, Ala., where he was an employe
at the time of his death. He leaves a
wife, two small sons, mother, six sisters,
nine brothers, several neices and nephew:
and a host of friends to mourn his depart
ure. Uncle Hoke was so’ good and kind ;
to know how was to love him.
We miss him and we mourn for him,
Through long and weary hours,
Yet he will wait and watch for us
Through Eden’s sunny bowers.
And while our blinding tear drops
Wet his precious grave so cold.
We know our loved one’s precious feet
Are walking streets of gold.
Loving friends, they bore his casket
To a quiet resting place;
There beneath the sod we left him,
No more on earth to see his face,
But we can picture him in heaven,
\s he entered in the fold.
There in glory with the angels
Where he never will grow old.
\nd we want to meet our Saviour
When we reach that happy place,
And we want to see God’s millions
That are saved by Grace.
But before we gaze one moment
At that mighty blood-washed throng.
We want to get one glimpse of dear Un
cle's face.
He is gone but not forgotten.
Never will his memory fade ;
Loving thoughts will always linger
Around the grave where he is laid.
How often a word or a sweet sunny
smile brought cheer to some weary one
Oh, we weep when we think of him going
yet whisper, “Thy will be done.”
One who dearly loved him,
His Niece.
