Kind Deed Ends
In Friendship
With Hitchhiker
Mr*. N. D. Ickr*
Much against Ma own judge
tn<nt, the recommendation* of
highway officials, the constant
warnings through the press, Har
ley Kennedy. Page, picked up a
hitchhiker last Monday evening
wito proved the exception.
Through the years the discrim
ination against all hitch-bikers
was made becaue so many of
them have taken advantage of
their free ride and committed
grevuHis crimes against the dri
vers, as well as making off with
the vehicle which they later aban
doned or wrecked or both.
Kennedy was traveling alone
It was past six p m. and he was
40 miles away from his supper,
a change clothes and a REA
meeting at Creighton almost that
many miles beyond.
He passed him up according to
the rule of the road then brought
his car down from a 60 mile
(he was in a hurry) speed to a
stop and waited for the man to
catch up—a distance of a ci>uple
of blocks.
Hefore entering Harley’s car
the hiker introduced himself,
thereby putting his mind some
what at ease (if you could be
lieve his story).
The man was 6".! years old
(same age as Harley) was so
slight of build that his family
tin Right he was bringing in a
small boy in tow when he enter
ed the kitchen at home (late for
supper, of course).
If is nationality was not an item
of consideration either since he
bore the characteristic features
and coloring of his race, yet Har
ley admits that he has never
picked up so interesting a char
acter even when such practice
was permitted.
He was treated to a home cook
ed meal, his first since landing
in the United States. He remarked
he had been entertained but his
host had always taken him to a
restaurant.
Even so the man was seriously
handicapped at supper since
those of his race talk with their
hands for the sake of emphasis.
He got behind on his eating.
His stoi-y was of interest to the
Kennedys, and to the rest of us,
because of many factors over
come by a member of what we
would feel were an under-privi
lidged race, handicapped by a
lack of advantages that would
make it a pretty stiff assignment
for a parent in these Americas to
accfinrplish what he as a parent
could brag about.
He remarked as his story un
folded with the passing miles,
that he was one of the first in
his country that the U9 helped to
erf icate. That his family was
still there and among the six
children one was a medical doc
tor, one was a nurse, two were
teachers, one a jet pilot and the
youngest, 21, had jast this year
graduated from college.
He had been a guerilla fighter
with an American troop in the
war and was on his way to a
small town in South Dakota (Har
ley forgot the name) to visit a
member of that American unit
with whom he served.
He sent his trunk on to Om
aha to be claimed after he had
visited the University of Nebras
ka in Lincoln on his way to ful
fill his contract with the State
of Minnesota.
The address written in Harley’s
memorandum book was “Prof.
E. A. Alba Jr. PhD., Chair - Po
litical Science and Ethnology,
Manila, P. I., and he was on his

school term.
When Harley picked him up
this side of Stuart he said "I
don't know why I ever stopped
1 never p»ck up hitchhikers” and
Prof. Alba replied "My traveling
accomodations are in the hands
of the I>ord. Yuj had to stop "
When he left him at the Junc
tion of highw ays 14 anti 20, a little
wap of humanity, a foreigner,
with all the rule* of the road
against being picked up in the
mght Harley said to him, “You'll
never get a ride tonight”. He
answered “Someone will give mf
a ride. The Man Upstairs will
see to that."
Even though the man was 62,
his hair showed no trace of gray
and his slight physique would
class him more readily as a
young boy rather than showing
the dignity of a professor with a
degree that places him in a po
sition of importance in any coun
try.
In parting he inquired Harley’s
birthdate and said, "I'll send you
a card, maybe I’ll send you a
present."
A Poem
From Mrs. Eby •..
—Three day# to live—
A minister visiting a prison one
day, hoping some poor lost soul
to guide on his way,
When a prison guard asked “If
I would see same men in death
row, if they'd consent to see
me,
I realized 1 was looking into the
faces of men, who never would
hear the gospel again
The last chance to hear Jesus
still offer life, to lives all bro
ken by sin and strife,
Slowly I aliened my hymn book
and began to sing, hoping some
response to hard hearts might
bring,
“Now I belong to Jesus and He
belongs to me, not for the years
of time alone but for eternity.”
Crouching in his dirty cell look
ing more like a beast than a
man said, “Sir I’m to die in
three days, could I sing that
song? “You surely can.”
And I’ll show you how. Turn to
Romans 10:13 in my Bible
there. “But I never learned to
read,” was his pitiful stare.
So I read "Whosoever calleth
on the name of the Lord shall
be saved and God can, show
ing salvation to be God’s work
and not work of man.
He put his face on the old dirty
floor, sobbing and prayed as
he had never done before.
Finally he looked up and smiled
through his tears, “It’s done.
God took all my doubts and
fears,”
He said “Now sing it again,”
and he joined loud and free,
“Now I belong to Jesus and He
belongs to me.”
I am told he went to the gallows
singing loud as could be, “Now
I belong to Jesus and He be
longs to me”.
(Della Stuart Eby)
