Like thousands of young peo ple, this eighteen-year-old girl had a burning ambition for a higher education. But, as in many such cases, financial diffi culties stood squarely in the way.

She was on her way at the moment to sing at evangelistic services. But she was thinking wistfully of her dream—forever beautiful and forever unfulfilled. The second night of the ser vices an instructor from the state university was present and invit ed to sing at the weekly as sembly of the student body. It was an exciting moment for the young soloist as she stood before an audience of two thou sand; and the enthusiastic ap plause that followed each number gave her spirits a real lift. When she and the instructor who had brought her left the platform, a number of faculty members ap proached. Among them was Pro fessor Sax, head of the art de partment. “May 1 meet the young lady who has just lived up to her name —by singing like an angel?” he asked. “Certainly—and you must come and have lunch with us.” Carol M. Sax was a small man with a big heart; a bachelor, and rich. His cordial manner was the sign of his warm heart. He was never so happy as when bringing happiness to others. He listened wi,th absorbed Interest to all that Angeline said. Afterwards he had a brief conference with his fellow faculty members. He learned of the obstacles in the way of her ambition. I “If she lacks money, we rhyst get it-for her,” he exclaimed. “By what method?” The little professor was silent a few moments. Then he looked up. “We will have her sing for the people of this city, and get five hundred people to come, at a dollar each. Five hundred dol lars would be a nest-egg; and she could earn enough more by her singing, while a student, to meet her expenses.” Mr. Sax and a -group of his friends went to work. They en gaged the ballroom of a leading hotel and put signs in the store windows; and they added much face-to-face publicity. When the appointed evening drew near, some weeks later, the chief sponsor was optimistic. But when the hour for the recital ar rived his hopes had faded. In stead of five hundred there were scarcely half that many people who had come. Angeline’s voice was as beautiful as ever, and the applause was enthusiastic. But Carol M. Sax’s heart was heavy. He sat through most of the pro gram like a man pondering some deep problem. Then, as the end of the recital drew near, his sace 1 suddenly lighted up. The sponsors gathered round him afterwards, out of Angeline’s Eastern Carolina’s favorite. ..MAOLA MS^T MILK i • Homogenized Vitamin D Milk "Make mine Maola milk".

They were sorry as they 1 thought of the disappointment awaited her. “What js the total?” they anxiously inquired. ‘*lt conics to just five hundred,” he serenely replied. “But how ....?” they exclaim ed as they stared in astonish ment. “Don’t ask me,” he smilingly, replied, as though he were puz zled himself. Yet those who stood around him felt, after a mo ment’s reflection, that he knew perfectly well what the explana tion was. Angeline went off that fall to a large church college. After four years she graduated and became minister of music in a leading church in a southern city. There she met and married a lawyer, now a prominent judge. She is still singing, in the city of her adoption and elsewhere,, A friend of bygone days met her at a huge church convention where her voice had just inspired thousands. In the course of the conversation he asked a question. “Do you ever think of Mr. Sax?” She did not answer the ques tion. She did more. “Oh,” she exlaimed, “what an angel!” So her story is not the story of one angel, but of two. And it might be debated which of the two derived more happi ness from that incident of other Thursday, March 13,1958. EDENTON, N.
