Text: “The greatest thing is not
where we are, but in what direction
we are moving.” Oliver Wendell
Holmes.
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,

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.

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. The “60 Second •
Sermons” are messages to you from a
Christian businessman, written from
experience, bitter and sweet, but al
ways real.
