SAT., DECEMBER 13, 1975, THE CAROLINA TIMES - 3 1 I 1 3 I LOOKED AND Fisher Memorial rbnors Mrs. M. B. Eings ISM7 BY iRev. C. R. Stone "DOUBT TAKES ITS TOLL" i or the most part, it is the universal desire of men to get started toward reaching some important goals amid a world of good and evil. However, the idea of men gettinf going in various directions for achievements has never been viewed as being easy. Those persons who would think of launching out from their dreadful positions of limited hope possess the element of doubt which tends to hinder them. All men who would get started in some fields of work do so with varying degrees of personal doubt. Further, doubt is an ever present weakness in the human make-up of all peoples. Just because peoples must somehow live with uncertainties, they cannot afford to remap locked in a world of idleness. Men know that doubt takes its toll because of all who have gathered enough courage to begin their work in previous years, did not survive the challenge to succeed. Doubt represents one of the greatest obstacles to all individuals, but all men should attempt to replace doubt with the element of confidence. Men who would achieve some good in an evil world must exercise varying degrees of confidence within themselves! The force of confidence exhibited by a few individuals is far greater than the force of doubt accumulated by a majority of individuals. In other words, the world has more fear because of doubt and here is one primary reason why doubt takes its toll in defeating us. "Men are able to gain confidence to launch out for achievements through their beliefs. People who do not believe very much cannot accomplish very much. People who believe that they cannot get started somewhere will never get to the place where they belong. Men need to display their confidence through believing, thus others may be able to get the message that the world so desperately needs. Men need to apply the heat of confidence that others may be drawn into action. I am referring to a demonstration of activities likened unto individuals who build a blazing fire in the midst of ice. If the fire continues to burn in the midst of the ice, which is in opposing force, the ice must disappear. Although the water resulting from the ice may linger for a while, the cloud of ice which stands in the way likened unto doubt must be dissolved. If the idea expressed here has any true meaning for us, men of course should be able to go forward inspite of the element of doubt. It should be well remembered here that the vapor of doubt will never be completely cleared from the atmosphere where men reside. The atmosphere of of doubt is here to stay among men as long as we inhabit the earth. Men need to continue working everywhere and apply the heat of confidence against the ice of doubt. The heat of confidence will make the ice of doubt run like water1 falling from a rain storm. Yes, doubt has taken man out of action but confidence through believing can replace more than the numbers lost. He who hath ears to hear let him hear.
