Recently our family shared in a great tragedy in*'" the fatal automobile accident-* of a young Christian athlete who hod made himself near’*' and dear to each member of'"' our family. Richard Reed took great interest in encour- aging younger boys to build v their bodies as well as tO‘>" nourish their spiritual lives. , More important than a tri-**^ bute to Richard’s life, I am^ writing in the hope that God will use this great loss to^ his parents and brother, his . school and to those who loved him, to inspire some young’,) person to live a more noble life. The rewards are well worth the effort. rr, At the funeral in Colum bus, Ga. last Wednesday mor,*, bus , Ga. last Wednesday # morning, the oyung minister said these words which will* long ring in my memory: “I'* am not going to preach a- sermon on Richard Reed, be cause I would rather !?EE a ^ sermon than hear one, but at m his parent’s request I am go-. <0 ing to read a poem written by Edgar A. Guest in which embodied Richar philosophy of life.” , u ,.; * MYSELF . r , ’ I have to live with myself, I. and so I want to be fit for myself to know I want to he able, as days g° by, Always to look myself straight in the eye: ^ I don’t want to stand, with the setting sun, And hate myself for the . things I’ve done. I don’t want to keep on a closet shelf, A lot of secrets about my-^ self, And fool myself, as I come and go, Into thinking that nobody - else will know. The kind of man that I‘ really am; I don’t want to dress up my- : self in the sham. I want to go out with my head erect, I want to deserve all men’s respect; But here in the struggle for fame and pelf. I want to be able to like myself. I don’t want to look at my- > self and know That I’m bluster and bluff,., and empty show. I never can hide myself from me; I know what others may never know; I never can fool myself,) and so. Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting and con science free. If the reading of this poem or if the example of this, young Christian’s life will.,. help any young person to strive to make of himself a finer, better human being,' then Richard Reed’s death : was not completely in vain.' In Peter Marshall’s words: “The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration hut its!) donation.” Thank you, j, Carolyn Marvin 307 Laurens Street, NW '! Aiken, S. C. .
