r | ANK SAMUELS squatted down
IT in the on deck circle and sur-
veyed the situation with a little
touch of saddness. It was the bot-
tom of the ninth in a scoreless
ball game. He saw' his team mate
go down on strikes, shaking his
, head in admiration at the skinny
' youth on the mound. Then Hank
walked to the plate slowly, a fa-
miliar plate, its whiteness show-
ing clean where the umpire had
just brushed it. This was to be his
last time at bat. At forty-three he
felt old. He had worked his way up
to the majors and then had gone
the long way back to the bottom
at forty-three. His knuckles were
gnarled and his legs ached when-
ever he lowered his huge body be-
hind the plate to receive the pitch-
er’s delivery. He had decided with
an unimpressive batting average
of .198 that he’d stick strictly to
managing and let the younger,
more brilliant kids fill the playing
field. So, after playing for twenty-
two years, he stepped to the plate
and looked saddly toward the
mound. The kid’s eyes met his.
Old Hank knew it, the fans
knew it; the kid was one out away
from a no-hitter. It was the kid s
first professional ball game. He
had been taken from the high
school ranks and had joined the
Plainsville tegm of the Class D
league. He had come with a string
of press clippings. The kid looked
like a pro.
Maybe he didn’t know he was
next to his no-hitter, thought Sam-
uels, squaring his shoulders, the
timber resting easily across his
ready shoulder. But Hank was
thinking about that last time at the
plate. The kid had gotten him on
a grounder, a strike out, and a
long fly to center field. Hank want-
ed desperately to give the fans
something to remember him by.
He wanted to sew up the game, he
wanted to pound out one more
four-bagger before he hung up his
playing gear for the last time.
The kid was set and the ball was
fast and inside.
Will Give Recital
i n
“Ball one!” the ump called.
The count rose to three and one,
when the pitcher floated a slow in-
side curve. Hank rose forward to
meet the ball, the sound was music
to him. He knew without tracing
the patch of the ball that it was
gone, gone into oblivion, riding
with the hero’s force, 350 feet over
the left field wall. Hank Samuels
trotted slowly around the bases.
He listened carefully to the shouts
of the fans, the loyal Hutchin’s
fans who had traveled the short
distance to the Plainsville home
diamond. He listened carefully, be-
cause he would never hear that
sound again. He wanted to remem-
ber that moment, hold on to it as
though it were some invisible
trophy presented to him by his
friends. He was glad he had given
the Hutchin’s fans something to
shout and something to remem-
ber.
Old Hank had showered and on
his way out of the dressing room,
he paused at the door reserved for
the Plainsville team. It was al-
most empty except for the skinny
kid sitting on the bench, a towel
around his shoulders. Hank stood
there for a full minute watching
the figure, head sagging, shoul-
ders lowered.
‘‘Great game,’* he said slowly,
and the kid’s eyes turned up tc
meet the old catcher.
“It’s you,” he said slowly. “1
wanted to strike you out. I wanted
that more than anything else.”
“I know it, I knew it then.
Something made it come out that
way.” The kid stood and started
to dress.
“You’ve got a great future,”
Hank said. “I’ve seen a thousand
pitchers work in my day. You
came close to a great triumph to-
day, but that’s baseball. It isn’t a
gold plated road. Maybe it would
have been too good a start if you’d
gotten the no-hitter today. You’ve
got to learn to take the bitter with
the sweet, and you’ll be all the
better for having learned it early.”

REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
Habakkuk’s Faith Tested.
Lesson for July 10: Habakkuk It
1-6, 12-13; 2: 1-4.
Golden Text: Habakkuk 2: 4.
Habakkuk is known as one of the
minor prophets, but he was not
small in his mental ability and the
strength of his character. He be-
gan his ministry about the time
the Chaldeans were coming a sec-
ond time into world power.
The prophet could not under-
stand why the just God would al-
low the might of the heathen to be
used to despoil the people who had
called upon Him. But he resolved
to climb to his tower to watch the
course of events and to wait for
God’s answer to His people in the
hour that was trying men’s souls.
It must be admitted that Habak-
kuk doubted God, but he really
demonstrated his trust by going to
God for the answer to the riddle
of the time.
And he learned that God was
using the . Chaldeans to discipline
his own people. Also that God’s
dealings were not to be known in
the striving of finite mortals to
learn His ways. That just shall live
by faith through international re-
lations as well as in personal
needs.
They who think the Old Testa-
ment is out of date should revise
their opinions as they are con-
fronted by problems similar to
those that distressed Habakkuk.
Let us learn to seek unto God for
the answer to dire matters of the
present.

'"pHERE are literally bread-lines
J- in the United States today.
To read the newspapers and the
weekly financial and business pub-
lications each week, no one would
suspect it. No one would suspect
that there are approximately two
million people depending upon dis-
tribution of surplus food for their
meals. To read the stock-market
reports and the financial status
and net profits of the large busi-
ness concerns, no one would sus-
pect that there are some 5,000,000
Americans with an income of
$1,000 or less, who are subsisting
upon a sub-standard diet. There
are 3,200,000 in the American labor
force who are without jobs. There
are some 3,000,000 more who are
working one, two or three days a
week.
In the mining industry alone,
there are more than 200,000 miners
idle. They have been idle for
month. They have exhausted
their unemployment compensa-
tion and are living on charity.
This means that in the mining in-
dustry alone some 600,000 to 700,-
000 persons are living or subsist-
ing on the doles of the tremendous
stores of surplus foods built up
over the years by the Commodity
Credit Corporation.
Hear this. Congressman James
E. Van Zandt (R-Pa.), speaking
on the floor of the house:
“Think of it Mr. Chairman, ac-
cording to the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Property and Sup-
plies, in the great industrial State
of Pennsylvania, out of its 10 and
one-third million residents, nearly
10%, or 1,020,963 are living on sur-
plus commodities.”
And what are those surplus com-
I *7W
modities? They are butter, cheese,
dried beans, dry milk and a lim-
ited amount of cooking oils. But
no bread. No corn meal. These
people do not have the money to
buy bread or corn meal. They have
absolutely no purchasing power.
Multiply these figures by 61,000-
unemployed miners in West Vir-(
ginia; 67,000 in Virginia; e30,000 In-
southern Illinois. Other thousands
in Kentucky, Indiana and other
coal mining states*-28 states in'
ah.
Congress recently started some-
thing about removing the bread-
lines. The House passed, a bill
(H.R. 2851) to mandate the De-
partment of Agriculture to furnish
from surplus stores of the Com*-
modity Credit Corporation, suffi-
cient supplies of processed wheat
and corn to provide all these peo-
ple with flour and meal with which
to make bread. Somehow, the Con-
gress did not trust the Department
of Agriculture to deliver this sur-
plus food, for the bill mandates
the Department of Agriculture to
deliver to the Department ol
Health, Education and Welfare
sufficient quantities of flour and
corn meal, and directs the HE and
W department to distribute it to
proper local or state agencies.
The bill passed the house by a
vote of 343 to 1. The lone dissenter
was Representative Fred Marshall,
(D-Minn.). Although three Con-
gressmen — Clevenger and Vorys
of Ohio, and Utt, of California,
voted “present,” sidestepping the
issue.
Most of this unemployment is in
the mining industry, but there is
some in steel, some in farm im-
plements and other industry.
