THE 5D's There is a legend about a wise old Indian chief whose position was occasionally challenged by someone who thought he could outsmart the chief. The custom of the tribe was that the smartest, wisest one among them should be their chief. One day an aspiring young tribesman, holding something concealed within the palms of his cupped hands, stood before the old chief. Showing him only a glimpse of a few feathers, the young Indian said, "Here in my hands I have a little bird. Tell me, O Chief, is it dead or alive?" The old chief was silent. He knew that if he said it was dead, the young man would unclasp his hands and allow the little bird to fly away into the air. If he said it was alive, the young man would crush the bird and drop it dead at his feet. The old chief was very wise. Holding forth his own strong hand, he said: "Here is a hand; it has five fingers. "The first and most important finger is the thumb, for it controls and balances the hand. It is discipline. "The finger next to the thumb is for action, for it points the way for us to go. It gives us direction. "The third finger is the tallest and makes the hand strong so it can perform all its duties rightly?it is diety. "Close beside it, as a helper, is the finger of love ? it is called devotion. "The smallest finger is important because it completes the hand so that it may accomplish its purpose It stands for detail. "These are the five fingers, and beneath them is the palm of the hand. You stand before me claspin' a little bird and asking me if it is alive. Now I will answer your question: "In the palms of your hands you hold life or death. It's up to you!" This was the old chief's answer. His wisdom met and won the challenge. It takes a mighty shrewd person to know where contentment ends and laziness begins. TRAMMELL 15-^ tii-.
