The Roundup
By WILBORME HARRELL
The late W. O. Saunders,
.the iconoclastic and out
spoken editor of the Eliza
beth City INDEPENDENT,
was a man who lived and
worked and wrote ahead of
his times. Even then, some
(orty-odd years ago, he
i ecognized and understood
the plight of the Negro
better than any of his con
temporaries. He made it
an issue, and many of the
issues he fought for were
unpopular. But he knew
the right side of an issue
and the wrong side; and
whatever he thought was
right, he fought for. And
he was one of the first to
bring the Negroes’ problem
cut in the open, even
though it meant unpopular,
ity for him. In an issue
oi the INDEPENDENT he
ran a pixie-type picture of
a little Negro boy, which
he affectionately captioned
“Jes’ a Lil’l Nigger,” and
with which he said that
this li’l nigger’s future was
largely the responsibility
of the white man. Has the
white man lived up to this

would be given the oppor

Marie Antoinette, when
told the populace was cry

is one of the troubles with
America today. So many
of us have eaten cake for
so long, we don’t realize
that many of us don’t have
any bread.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
I
THE WISDOM OF SELF-CONTROL
f
International Sunday School Lesson.for May 5 j
I
Memory Selection: “He that is slow to anger j
is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his
spirit than he that taketh a city. Proverbs 16:32.
Lesson Text: Proverbs 16:22-32 ; 20:1; 23:19-21,
29-35.
The subject of our lesson for today embraces
one of the hardest lessons in life that we must
learn—self-control. \
Self-control in all things is the primary requi
site of wisdom, of a full and satisfying life—
life of the spirit, of the body. Self-control eases
one’s relationships with others, and with one’s
self. For, while we can communicate with oth
ers for a given period of hours during our work
ing day, for twenty-four hours of that day we
cannot close the door to one’s self. We live con
stantly with what we are, what we have been,
and with what we can become. We live our in
nermost thoughts, our disappointments, our heart
aches, our hopes—and our hindsight We live
with the influence we have on others—both those
dear to our hearts and those with whom we only
casually come in contact. We live with RE
SPONSIBILITY.
Self-control is one of the finest expressions of
wisdom when it is exercised in the areas of
speech and of anger. One who rules his spirit
exercises self-control in the areas of his passions
and appetites.
Life is made up of pressures pressures of
money, pressures of competition in making a
living—or just “keeping the wolf from the door.”
The pressure of disappointment and heartache.
Wisdom is accepting the disappointments and the
pain of life, and using them as a measuring-stick
to grow by—to become a better, stronger, more
self-sufficient person. Weakness is seeking a
crutch to lean on—unless it is the crutch of
faith. Too often, however, it is the crutch of
opiates, of palliatives. Weakness is (as used in
today’s lesson) “looking upon the wine when it
is red”; seeking a false sense of well-being, of
escape from life’s problems. And a false escape
it is! For, although one —under the influence—
may forget temporarily life’s problems, when the
effects of alcohol have worn off, the problems
are still there; they have not been solved. The
man who shelves a problem with alcohol one
night, lives to face the same problem the next
day—but with a little bit less of himself to face
it with.
Alcoholism is one of the greatest scourges cf
our modern society. It is soul-destroying to the
individual, and punitive to those most closely
associated with him. It leads to deterioration of
the character; it can lead to undesirable rela
tionships. It holds forth a mirage that promises
relaxation and contentment, but in the end “it
biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.”
It strips a man of his inhibitions, it divests him
of his manhood. And inhibitions which are

“Those three are always together,” remarked Lisa’s mother. She was*
referring to her little daughter, who is seldom seen without her beloved collie, ■
and her well-worn rag doll. They are contant companions.
“Lisa is very sensitive about friends,” her mother continued. “And this a
week she came home from Sunday School with a very important lesson. a
Her teacher told her about God’s love, and how He never leaves us. Lisa a
came skipping into the house and announced, ‘Now I have three good friends, a
and the best one of all is Jesus.’ ”
Little Lisa had indeed learned a wonderful truth. All of us need to dis-S
cover it for our own lives. For every life needs the companionship of God. ■
Let your church bring this hope and promise to you.
