& Error
If I were a garrulous talker,
writing a column each week
would come much easier for me.
But - since I race around In the
office, I don't see many out
siders. If I started quoting my
workers In the office, I might
not have any workers. So I
dare not risk that.
? ? ? *
?
I am Indebted to Mrs. L. A.
Wilson of Rose Hill for this
little prayer.
PRAYER OF THE OLD
Lord, Thou knowest better
than I know myself that I am
growing older, and will someday
be old. Keep me from getting
more talkative, and particularly
from the fatal habit of think
ing I must say something on
every occasion and on every
subject. Make me thoughtful,
but not moody; helpful, nit not
bossy. With my vast store of
wisdom It seems a pity not to
use all of It - but thou knowest
Lord, that I want a few friends
at the end. Seal my lips on
my many aches and pains, they
are Increasing, and my love for
rehearsing them Is becoming
sweeter as the years go by.
Keep my mind free from endless
details. Give me wings to fly
straight to the point, I ask for
grace enough to listen to the
tales of others' pains. Help
me to endure them with pa
tlender Teach me the glorious
lesson that occasionally I may
?.? be mistaken". -=K?ep me rea
son ably smat;. I do mx. want to
be a saint. Lord - some of them
are so very hard to live with,
but a sour old man or woman
is one of the crowning works of
the devil. Help me to extract
all posslbiefun out of life. There
are so many funny things around
us, and I don't want to miss
any of them. Amen.

In a sense, she Is working
for you, and over the years
her services - combined with
those of millions of other volun
teers - have helped to save I
thousands of lives. !
She Is fully eodtlad to share
with medical science the credit
for dramatic advances achieved
over.the past 15 years In the
ifight ?against heart and blood
