Bell, tend er of the Chowan River ofl Qjftcup&t fjpj By MARVIN BARHAM Someone has said that there are fiv£ foods which are essential in a person’s grow'th. They are love, learning, beauty, service and suffering. Without these foods the soul does not grow. Given hunger—the soul grows in an experi ence of love. We are nourished when one hung ers for learning, studies, seeks mastery of a sub ject. Beauty comes only when we strive to ap preciate or create the beautiful. Suffering as food may seem to us as hard ex periences, but have you not noticed that men in tent upon spiritual achievement have grown more - surely and rapidly when suffering was their lot, rather than when life moved along like a song.
