The Wisdom of ihe Young
Every day, six-year-old Tommy
brought home breathless accounts
of the prowess of his new friend,
Joe, with wide-eyed admiration,
Tommy would report to his
mother that Joe was the smartest
boy in the first grade, Joe could
make the biggest bubbles with
bubble gum, Joe had taught the
other kids how to make paper
aeroplanes. Then, one day, over
a bridge table, another mother
asked, “did you know that your
son’s closest fi’iend at school is a
Negro boy?” That evening, while
Tommy was again regaling his
mother with the wonders of Joe,
she said, “but Tommy, you never
told me that Joe was colored.”
“Colored?” the child asked
“what’s colored?” “Why, his
skin is darker than yours, isn’t
it?” Tommy paused thought
fully to ponder the question, then
he answered, “I don’t know, but
I’ll look tomorrow.”

MY FRIEND
Tho all men forsake me
Of food and clothes, I have none
Sick, afflicted, and undone
In faith, I come to Thee.
Friendless, no not friendless
Christ is my friend
His love, for us is endless
Him, to you, I recommend.
Christ died to save us
If we will do our part
May you choose thus
To give Christ your heart.
Some day we’ll understand
That God knew best
When He put us to the test
So we can stand in the promised
land.
