However, this incident was so tragic and caused so much heartache and disappointment, and since It received absolute ly no notice from the press, 1 1 think it is high time you I were let in on it. It did re (eeive some mention, though, on a local radio program, but this was so brief that I'm afraid it failed to impress you folks with its calamitous gravity. 1 feel klnda guilty about having waited so loqg to cover this story here in my column. I realize now, that In all fairness to die person in volved, it should have been done before she and her fam ily moved plumb outta this country. If I had written it then it would have allowed a lot more people to scad their condolen ces and sympathy In a variety of ways. I coulcki't thli* of but just a few ways to condole her. And, to tell you the truth, from , what I could find out, nothing 1 ever said condoled her one bit. If I could have actually seen her and talked to her in per son during her extreme grief I think maybe I could have made her feel lots better. But she was so stricken with grief and everything that she didn't want to see anybody, and least of all me. I don't think It was so much that she dicfri't want to see any body as it was that she didn't want anybody to see her. You can readily understand how difficult this would make the problem of condoling any one when you can't sit down, look 'em in the teeth, and cry with 'em. But that's the way she Is ? very brave. She wanted to suffer and bear her grief alone. She Is a lot different from me because I always enjoyed having folks sympathize and condole me to my face. But not her. And she sure missed getting a lot of both by having her attitude. I'd better tell you who this lady is so you can begin to sympathize with her if you want to. She is the wife of my former pastor. I won't mention her name because I am sure, knowing her, that she would Prefer to remain anonymous. But I don't see much chance of it. To keep you from getting confused over which former pastor I'd better tell you: It was the one just before the one we have now. That oughta pinpoint her pretty good in case any of you want to send her any belated condolences. This lady ? I'll call her Helen, that isn't her real name, just a nickname that I'm usit^g her so she can ever re main anonymous, because she liked to suffer alone and out of sight of her friends. Anyway, she was In the bath room one night giving Johnny C. a bath. That la his real name and I don't hesitate to use It because be don't car* about any anonymity. After she got him out of the tub, dried off, and pajama'd she decided to also bathe her pretty sto -bought molars. That's when all the Im probable* conspired to be come actualities and this misery provoking tragedy happened in a split second. This is the way it went: ac cording to the best I could reconstruct the sequence of events. 1 will have to atknit there are some small de tails that 1 am in some doubt about? perhaps you can fig ure them out. She was singing away (all preacher's wives are happy and sing * lot) *s she care fully washed her dentures. Johnny C. triggered the Water C. and at that awesome instant Helen dropped her beautiful China Clippers, you know where, and they disappeared forever. She let out a piercing, hor rifying scream. Her entire bunch of youngans rushed pell mell to die scene. You see they all figured it was, at least, Johnny C. that had gone down the drain. No, I'm kidding. Now this is really what happened: She very calmly and serenely walked out and into the bed room where her husband lay peacefully in the arms of Morpheous and just as calmly announced, "Mr. C., Johnny C. just flushed my teeth down the Water C. Mr. C. said "I see." You see, neither of these two ever gets excited. Immediate steps were taken to get her some brand new choppers. The demist worked overtime taking impressions, etc., to get her new ones in jig time as she couldn't go to Church or nothing in the meantime. Well, it wasn't so much that she couldn't as it was she wouldn't during this interval. Now these first new choppers were ready before you could hardly turn aroikid, but they got lost in the mail. She re mained calm as usual and fin ally got new set f2. The imponderable question in my mind that remains un answered to this day is "In what vessel was she attempt ing to clean her teeth when this happened?" Her first time back at Church we sang her a parody of the Happy Birthday Song, substituting, of course, the word teeth for birth. It wave was pretty, too, and she en joyed it so much. I could tell she did because I watched , her as we sang and she sat there and gnashed her new sto -bought teeth the whole time. Cherokee Scout k Clay Cointy Progress, Thurs., Dec. 5, 1963 AS The Pastor SEES IT By W. P. Rambert, Pastor Shooting Creek Church or God THE CHRISTIAN LIFE Ten Hebrews 12:1, 2 When (he Lord sayet you, you embarked upon a life very different from anything you had known before. II Corin thians 5:17, states "There fore if any man be Christ, be is a new creature: old things are passed away, behold, all ire became new." the Lord performed His work of grace in your heart everything was new, clean, and exciting. The things you once loved, you no longer love. The tilings you once did not care for, you now enjoy. Why? Because being "in Christ" has made you a total ly different person. Being a Christian is a many sided affair. By this I mean, one assumes new responsibi lities, duties, habits, and fields of service. We find this idea conveyed in our text in Hebrews. Verse one states, "Where fore seeing we also are com passed about with so great a cloud of witnesses. . . ." "Compassed about with wit nesses", tells us that the Christian life is a public life. Jesus said, 'ye are the light of the world. A city that ia set on an hill cannot be hid. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works. and glorify your Father which Is In heaven.' This world is a dark, cold, and unfriendly place for many people. It does not and Indeed cannot offer the much needed assurance of peace and sC curity to a sin-sick souL But the Christian can be an ex ample of a secure soul in an insecure world. Paul writes in PhillippUns Chapter 2 and verse IS, "That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Hold ing forth the word of life." It is our responsibility, and we should consider it a privi lege to be the type of Chris tian whose life reflects the glory of God, and the peace and security that comes only to those whose lives have been changed by His power and grace. We are compas sed about with witnesses.
