LEE QUIT WHIMPERING—PAID THE MORTGAGE
There are many, many people.
In this world who get a peculiar
kind of pleasure out of feeling
sorry for themselves. They cringe
before life's problems. They
whimper and whine and say,
"Nobody has it as hard as I do!”
I heard the story about the
two buckets that went to the
well. One of the buckets sobbed
and cried, “No matter how full I
go away from the well, I always
have to come back empty.” The <
xjther one laughed and said, “No
matter how empty I come to the
well, I always go away full.”
Lee Braxton, the national ra
dio director of our world wide
broadcast, told me that self-pity
almost ruined him. Back when
the depression was at its worst
he was in hard circumstances.
The mortgage people were com
ing to foreclose on his modest
little home. At the same time
his small business was about to :
go under. He walked oft and sat <
down in a room by himself and
said, “Why is everybody picking
on me?”
Recently he told me what he
did that day as he sat in the
little room. He said, “I was sit
ting there with the whole world
on my shoulders. I felt so dis
couraged. so down and out that
I knew if I didn't get hold of my
self I might do something terri
ble. I kept wringing my hands
and saying, ‘Oh, why does every
body have to pick on me? Why
does this have to happen to me?'
I didn't know where else to turn
or who else to see. ]
“Then it dawned on me that
there was One I could go to. So I i i
got down on my knees and while' t

Guess that rounds up the news
'for this week. Until next time
then—bye.
Red Men Tribe Plans
Weiner Roast Sept. 16
Albert Cullipher, sachem of
Chowan Tribe of Red Men, an
nounces that a free weiner roast
will be held in the hall Monday !
night, September 16. The affair
will be held at 7:30 o’clock prior
to the regular meeting. Mr. Cul
lipher urges all members to be
present due to the importance of
the weekly meeting.
FIDELIS CLUB MEETING
The Fidelis Club will hold a
social meeting Tuesday night,
September 24, at 8 o’clock base
time in the Staff NtO Club.
11 the tears splashed down my
j cheeks I renewed my covenant
with my Maker. When I got
through praying I felt like a hew
man. I got up, squared my
shoulders and said, I am through
with self-pity and feeling sorry
for myself. 1 am going out and
by the help of God 1 am coming
out of this.’ ” *
What happened to Lee Brax
ton after that should happen to
everyone. He started using his
energies to believe instead of to
feel sorry for himself. He be
came a new man inside and in a
matter of days he had persuaded
the mortgage people to gtve him
a little more time. H© secured
credit for his business. He didn’t
lose his self-respect because
when he began to believe, he
found that his faith was the
most powerful thing in the
world. Other people saw he was
a new man and they wanted to
do business with a man like that.
It is people who resist self
pity. who do not feel sorry for
themselves, who will not allow
themselves to cringe and whim
per before life's struggles, who
stand up and say, “I believe God
is with me. And if He is with
me nothing or nobody can suc
cessfully be against me. I will
succeed!”
When a storm strikes an eagle
he sets his wings in such away
that the winds lift him above
the storm by its very fury. This
is God's way for us. With the
right use of our faith, we will not
fear the storms that come our
way. It is the set of our faith
that causes us to rise above the
storms. Have faith in God!
