THE BIG DOCTOR
(Continued from page 9)
if I could see as well with two eyes
as you d~ with one, I might be half as good.
Although he did not attend a church regularly, he was a deeply re- ligious man. I remember one thing that happened when I was a boy sleeping in his room at the farm. One
morning he woke me at dawn and told me to look outside. The sun was just coming over the mou ntains, bathing the land with its rosy glow. As we stood there, he said, and I will never forget it, "The heavens de- clare the glory of God and the fir- mament showeth his handiwork." At my "tender" age, I didn't have much sentiment for the sunrise, so I climb- ed back in bed.
It was not long after that his mind began to lose the ability to remem- ber. He retired from his practice and began to enjoy his farm. But in the next few years his memory grew worse so that a nurse was employed to care for him. Finally he was put in a hospital where he would receive the best of care and have the bene- fit of medical attention.
I often go to visit him there, but whenever I approach those build- ings, I can't help from asking, "Why? Why did this have to happen to him?" It doesn't seem fair for a man who has helped so many to be for- gotten. It looks like even God has made a mistake. But does God mean for us to understand? These things are His, and not in our keeping. It is all far beyond our feeble capacity to understand the ways of the Al- mighty. W e can only trust, though sometimes we are discouraged by what we cannot comprehend.

THE OLE ASTROLOGER

my rocket-ship, I was nearly trampled by stampede of students trying to avoid the "Ninety-Day Wonder," Crudup.
" Rudolph" "Spearnose" Tem pie was seen in the barber shop getting the full mud-pack treatment. What a panic he threw.
Over on the practice field, I heard a loud scream and I discovered "Der Boy" is so happed up this year, he had Butler tackle a telephone pole.
" Big Brother Blob" was seen herding six fifty-dollar bonus voters to the "flick." Showing off his con-
tinental approach. Well, maybe he'll take me next week, because right now Igot to go see "Flo" and get a couple of B.C. pills. (The party's over!) So long, gang. Study hard.
