After dinner there was a most extraordinary program of singing in the church. Seldom have 1 heard such congregational singing under the direction ,,f some of Buncombe county’s most noted directors.

Sharp, Chairman Creative Writing Group EACH IS A TRAVELER Wherever roads may run or lanes may wind, Through country meadow or through city mart; Each is a traveler who hopes to find An understanding soul, a prescient heart Alone and locked within the mind’s strange tomb In all his journeyings from dust to dust Conditioned by the warm and sheltered womb Man seeks a kindred soul whom he can trust For few and far between are those who greet And love us for ourselves, not what we own; A feast of soul is more substan tial meat When hungry hearts have dined upon a stone One sympathetic friend gives life its yeast, And men are fortunate who have this feast.
