Dr. R.B.Wilkins
Former Raeford
Physician Dies
Dr. Robert Bruce Wilkins.
84, of Durham, who once
practiced medicine in Raeford,
died at his home Saturday.
He interned in Fayeltcvillc,
practiced in Frwin and came to
Raeford in 191 5, remaining
here for several years. He serves
as captain in World War II, and
later moved to New York
where lie specialized in
O p t h a I m o I ogy and
Otolaryngology. He retired
from practice in Durham in
t'f5, after more than 50 years
of practice.
Surviving are his wife, the
former Marguerite Mason of
Winston-Salem; one son. Dr. R.
Mason Wilkins of Durham; one
daughter. Miss Marguerite
Davis Wilkins of Geneva,
Switzerland; one brother, John
A. Wilkins of Gastonia; two
sisters, Mrs. Margaret Holy of
Faison and Miss Bettie Wilkins
of Fayeltcvillc.
The couple silting next to us
was served a mosf unusual, bul
appetizing dish. The long table
we shared with them and
perhaps seventy oilier people
was one of several that filled
the large Salzburg hall where
amateur lyrolcan groups were
performing I heir delightful folk
music and dances. I was
intrigued by the couple's order.
Since they were obviously
Austrians, I addressed them in
my faltering but undaunted
German, adding what I
assumed to be a Bavarian
accent. "What do you call
that?" I wanted to know,
glancing at the food the
waitress had set before them.
My question met with blank
stares. They weren't hostile,
nor indifferent - no, it was
obvious they hadn't
understood me. Surely my
German isn't that had, I asked
myself! So I tried again with
the same result. Once more,
this time pointing to their
food, I asked slowly and
distinctly and without any
attempt at accent. When it was
obvious that we slill were not
communicating, I smiled an
emharasscd smile and turned
away. As I did, I heard I lie
woman say in the precise,
clipped accent of the British:
"I think the Gentian gentleman
was asking about our food, but
I'm not sure."
I had been so sure they were
Austrian and they were equally
certain about me. And we were
all wrong. How deceiving
appearances can be. How
difficult it is to be really suic
when we set oul to identify
someone on the basis of what
we have assumed he would he
like.
If, for example, you were
given the responsibility of
surveying your neighborhood
in t five-block radius to
determine the number of
Christians residing there, at
first glance it would seem a
relatively simple task. You'd
simply go door-to-door, asking
people if they arc Christians -a
little embarassing, perhaps,
but not difficult.
But, hold on a minute: you
were instructed to find out
how many are Christians, not
how many say they are. That's
something quite different and
much more difficult. In fact,
it's impossible, for how can
you really determine who is a
Christian and who isn't? If you
were checking on tuberculosis,
you could give everyone an
x-ray. Or if you arc checking
on heart disease, an
electrocardiogram. Or if poor
eyesight, an eye-chart. Hut
what tests can you use to
determine a person's
commitment to Jesus Christ?
The writer of I John gives us
some guidelines by which we
may measure Christian
commitment, although these
are intended primarily for the
evaluation of our own faith.

not that of others. The writer
lays down a general principle:
God is light and where there is
darkness in someone's life
there is separation from God.
Well, that's all very fine,
John, but rather vague and
unspecific. Can't we be more
precise than that? So John
becomes more specific and
perhaps we would have
preferred dial he had remained
vague:
First, "...If we walk in the
light, we have fellowship with
one another". (I John 1 :7) One
cannot be close to God and
separated from Ins fellow men.
Scecondy, a Christian
acknowledges his sin and need
for God's mercy. (I John
I :K-IU). One sure indication of
"darkness" in a person's life is
his assumption that, because he
does this or doesn't do that, he
is a "pretty good fellow" in
God's sight.
Thiid, a C hristian is one who
keeps the commandments of
Cluisl. Jesus himself said litis
(John 14:2.1).
Finally, "He who abides in
him ought to walk in the same
wa he walked". (I John 2:o)
There needs lo be some
likeness between the way he
lived his life and the manner in
which we live ours.
None of these, John makes
clear, depends much upon
words: "II we say ... and do
not ..." If one wants to be
really sure, we will look, not so
much to what is said, as to
what is done.
