In a tobacco warehouse, three men were arguing about religion. Each claimed his was the “right” religion and seemed to prove it by the Scrip tures. As an elderly Negro tenant farmer drove in with his tobacco, one of the men asked him which religion he thought was the right one. The old man looked at the three men a moment while he mopped his shining head. “Boss,” he said slowly, “Ah do’ rightly know, but ah reckon it’s lak dis. Dey is t’ree roads ah kin trabble to dis town. Ah kin go by de hill road, or ah kin take de swamp road or ah kin take de back road. But New Feature Begins In The Herald This Week A new feature begins this week in The Herald and it is hoped our readefs will read and enjoy it throughout the coming weeks. The feature, “60 Sec ond Sermon,” appears for the first time this week and if our readers like them, we will take the necessary steps to continue them in the future. The feature is prepared by Fred Dodge of Raleigh, a Christian busi nessman who we think has a message for folks, perhaps with a more per sonal touch than writers with a “Rev erend” before their names. Fred Dodge is a native of New Jersey, born in Plainfield in 1904. Much of his life has been spent in the Midwest, or rather Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, as well as Maryland. His wife, Sarah Bryan Dodge, was born in Georgia and was raised in Macon, attending Wesleyan College there. Many papers in four states (Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Ohio) now carry the “60 Second Ser mon” articles. Mr. Dodge tells us that until he put on years and weight, his physical hobby was volleyball, playing on sev eral YMCA teams in practically every major eastern tournament and in three national tournaments. Fred Dodge is a public relations and advertising man who has been associ ated with three of the nation’s larg est advertising agencies in New York and Philadelphia. He spent 17 years in radio broadcasting, writing, direct ing and announcing coast-to-coast net work radio programs and traveling for several years as a consultant in manageemnt and operation of radio stations in many states. He -has erated his own advertising agency and is presently employed by a national trade association in public relations. He is active in Sunday School work, a Mason, member of the Sales Execu tives’ Club, Toastmasters Club, Lion Club and a volunteer public informa tion chairman of a Red Cross chapter. He has written articles in score of trade magazines, national publications and published some fiction for 20 years. The material that appears in “60 Second Sermons” is gathered from nearly a half century, of experience with men and women in all walks of life. It is written in an appealing, ■ • Get a real buy!

He jes’ say, ‘Uncle Sam Henry, how good am yo tobacca’.” Many times we know the road we travel so well that we think it is the best road for everyone else. We know so many fine folks who have traveled it before us that we are sure everyone will find the same joy in it. It is where our road leads, what we bring and how we travel the road that is im portant. There may be other roads to the same goal that would be as strange to us as our road is to some one else. It isn’t the road—it’s the destination, the merchandise we bring and how well each of us travels the road we have chosen. practical vain in the hope that a': businessman can pass to others some.; fundamentals of hopeful, helpful liv- i ing which man gains the hard way. ■ His “Sermon” thoughts are not pulled j from “thin air” but from experience in life and living, in being hungry, ' out of work, sorrowful; well fed, em- < ployed and happy.
