STORY: Blacks And Whites by Dr. Fredrik Schlotz

Story title: Blacks And Whites
By: Dr. Fredrik Schlotz

    Some years ago a missionary revisited a congregation in Tanzania. After the service, the pastor called upon the oldest member of the congregation to present the gift they had for the visitor. Barefoot and dressed in tattered clothes, the man carried in his crippled hands a baton carved from ebony wood and wrapped in an old newspaper. Ebony is normally very black, but there may be light spots where branches have grown out of the tree's trunk. The baton had a sizeable light spot at one end.
