WHAT’S
HAPPENING!!
THE BEGINNING...Life is like music, it
must be composed by ear, feeling and
instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless, one had
better know the rules; for they sometimes
guide in doubtful cases, though not often.
Add to this engender, man, whose body has
been trained to be the ready servant of his
mind; whose passions are trained to be the
servants of his will; who enjoys the
beautiful, loves truth, hates wrong, loves to
do good, and respects others as himself.
Delicately mix the
one in the world who
feels a keener pang
for him who is sad
than he feels for him
self; the one who
rejoices in another’s
honor, more than in
any which is one’s
own; one to whom
reflected joy is better
than " that which
comes direct; the one
on whom another’s
BOB JOHNSON
lence sheds no beam but that of delight; the
one who hides another’s informities more
faithfully than one’s own; toe one who loses
all sense of self in the sentiment of kindness,
tenderness, and devotion to another; that
one is woman. Stir in the times when the
souls of human beings, omen more often
than men, begin to faint for toe atmosphere
of the affections they are made to breathe.
Plus the cure for all the ills and wrongs, the
—cares, the sorrows; and too primes of_
humanity, “love.” It is the divine vitality
that everywhere produces and restores life.
It is the final ingredient for a perfect
domestic dish - marriage. Marriage like the
useful bee, builds a house, and gathers
sweetness from every flower, labors and
unites into societies and republics, send out
colonies, and feeds the world with delicacies
and keeps order, and exercises many
virtues, and promotes the interest of
mankind.
Charles Qlandis Simmons and Teresa
Lorita Burns will be held accountable for
the vows they spoke last Saturday evening
at Second Calvary Baptist Church in the
presence of a church full of friends and
relatives, since they are the man and
woman in this domestic dish.
Judging from the happy expressions
shown on the newlyweds’ faces, toe
accountability factor should be fun to tend
with. For their expressions seemed to say,
“what greater thing is there for two human
souls than to feel that they are joined for life
- to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest
on each other in all sorrow, to minister to
each other in all pain, to be one with each
other in silent unspeakable memories at the
moment of toe last parting/’
Speaking of parting, Charles and Teresa
parted company with their people in Char
lotte last Monday. They went to the
Bahamas for a honeymoon stint to savor the
sweetness of the beginning.
THE NEED TO CORRESPOND. There
are two lives to each of us, the life of over
actions, and the life of our minds and
hearts. History reveals men’s deeds and
their outward characters, but not them
selves. There is a secret self that has its own
life, impenetrated and unguessed.
— -Donnie Whitlock, a-twenty-eight year old
black man is a victim of his two lives. His
body is incarcerated within the southern
Ohio Correctional Facility, near Lucasville,
Ohio. His mind and heart are free and
seeking correspondence with someone out
side the confines of the prison walls. Donnie
is five feet eleven inches tall, his weight is
one hundred sixty pounds. He is in dire need
of correspondence because, according to
Donnie, he has neither family nor friends in
the free world, and he doesn’t receive any
mail. Mr. Whitlock says that his interests
are many, pleasure are few and he hopes
that someone will respond to his request. All
letters will be answered promptly.
