r-g-yn - .._ — jOj I THINK ABOUT IT!! - — BY RAY A. NUSBAUM Why? Why, why, WHY did this have to happen to me? When misfortune, disaster or tragedy occurs, the question is difficult to try to answer. Even if there is a known answer, and most of the tune there is none, it is an unacceptable answer. If one is pnmimpttous enough to try to answer; if one resorts to the retort of courage being needed, one knows how futile it can be. Yet, when bewilderment and grief exist, « mortal human being can h« lp. In one such instance, there was an unforgettable scene which will always be remembered. A close friend of a grief stricken family stopped in. unaware that tragedy had st nick. Shocked at the b->mb shell news, he stumbled around for words. Then in impromptu and certainly in unrehearsed manner h» n pli'-d. “I can't tell you why. No one can. I'm not an overly religious man as you know’, but I think it wall help all of us if we pray." The family agreed. It was a beautiful prayer. And it helped. It always can. RAY A. M SBAI M, M SRAI M FUNERAL HOME, BoonexHt Road and Ohio ML, Walkerton, I mil ana. Phone 586-3444.
