During these times of help short
age when we all are doubling up
in our work and doing our best
to keep' things going on the home
front we are apt to do many
unusual things or leave the usual
things undone. Ralph C. Erskine,
the author and lecturer, is busy
writing a book between his duties
of looking after things at Paco
let Plantation. One Sunday morn
ing recently he made a hurried
check up on a hen’s nest just be
fore going to church to sing a
solo part for the special music.
Imagine his surprise soon after
arriving at the church and reach
ing into his pocket for something,
to withdraw his fingers smeared
with the gooey, stringy contents
of a broken egg. In his haste in
gathering eggs he had put one in
his pocket and forgot about it.
He made for the water spigot, and
choir members gathered around to
offer their assistance, and the
minister dashed out to see what
had happened, thinking some one
had fainted. But not the Planter
of Pacolet Plantation. He sang his
part as if nothing had happened,
