I Believe In Prayer (Continued from Page 12) er. I believe in calling upon It for help, I am not such an egoist as to believe that God has spared me because I am IL I belleve there is work for me to do and I am spared to do it, just as you are. It I die tomorow, I do not fear the prospect at all, On a rainy night in February, 1941, I had the worst accident of my life. As I look back on those agonizing days in the hospital I realize there was a reason behind it all. It was a test and a prepar- ation for what was to follow. In the four months I lay in that hospital I did more thinking about life and death than I had ever done before. Twenty-one months later, I was adrift in an open lifeboat with seven other starving men, most of them so young they needed the strength and understanding of a man who had been down in the valley of the shadow, who had suffered and made sense out of his suffer- ing. To those men I was able to bring the essence of the religion and philosophy I had distilled in the hospital. Once I almost fliroat hemorrhag "Here," I said, died from a s death." It dawned upon me in a flash that the easiest thing in the world is to die; the hardest is to live. Dying was a sensuous pleas- ure; living was a grim task. In that moment I chose to live. T knew from experience that aban- donment to death was a sin. was quitting. I had work to do, others to serve. Many things came to me, I realized I wasn't afraid to dis because I have lived so much in good ways and bad that I no longer feel the youthful pang of not having lived at all. 1 knew only the sorrow of being unable any more to help other people And when I finally came around, I saw life and death and the meaning of the Golden Rule more clearly than I had ever known. I took that clarity with me to the rubber raft in the South Pa- cific after our plane crashed. I shall not recount that story again. 1 merely want to tell you the meaning of it. Of the eight men in those thrée rafts, I alone never lost faith that we would be picked up. Throughout those twenty-one days of blistering sun and nights of ghastly chill, we were adrift for a purpose. 1 saw life had no meaning except in terms of helping others. I humbly think man instinctiy- ely does not interest himself in others. He does it by an act of Will. He sees that "I am my brother's keeper" and "Do unto others" are the essence of all truth. My experiences and the suffer- ing through which I passed taught me that faith in God is the answer to life. Recently, in a rehabilitation hospital, I addressed a group of airmen who had been badly wounded or nervously shaken. Many were discouraged, the fu- ture looked dark and unpromis- ing. I knew how they felt--I too, had been through a lot, but had found a secret which brought me through and I urged them to find the same secret. I said, "If you have not had an experience of God in your life, my advice is to get busy and get yourself one." For that is the sure way to win victories over inner defeat. It is the way a humble man meets life or death. Remember The Kiddies Everyone knows that too many children get hurt in motor acci- dents. But dot 't get the idea that they are all hurt on foot on the steet. In the summer months, with increased travel, more child- ren are injured inside cars than on foot.
