A FIRE, AND A DEED. ..
In closing, I’d like to relate a true incident I witness-
ed the other night. Late one cold night Hap and I were
in Pittsburg meeting some members who’d been work-
ing swing shift. On our way home we found the wife
and three little daughters of one of our members, hud-
dled on a mattress on the side of the road, their home
in flames. The father had gone to Wichita Falls for a
few days’ work. .....
We put them in the car, woke up a neighbor who
brought his pickup, and began loading the few posses
"Dolly burn up, Dolly burn up, over and over as her
mother tried to comfort her. Her whole world had
collapsed, and the burning doll was a symbol of her
tragedy. 2«
• Among the things by the road we found two pretty
dolls. I ran to the car with them, but my heart sank
when the older two girls recognized them as their
own. We loaded the mattress, some quilts and clothes
into the pickup and I climbed back in the car just in
time to hear the oldest girl, age 11, say, "Here, Barbara
Ann you can have Brenda." I looked around to see her
give’her own doll to the little sister, and I saw the tears
stop flowing.
All that she had, that she knew of for sure, was
that doll! And she gave it to her little sister! Deeds like
that and’ there have been many such deeds in East
Texas recently, renew my faith in humanity. Witness-
ing just such deeds makes it easy for me to ignore the
many hypocritical words one hears and reads from
those whose deeds are inhumane. I thought perhaps
you’d like to share that experience of mine. . •
