Entered in the Post 01 fice at Murphy, North Carolina, as second class
matter under the Act of March1 3. 1879.
Continued from Pace One
we recited poetry "
Mrs. Etingin added. 'Albert
sdtaved every other day?to keep
up our morale."
The couple talked of the crowd
ed. damp clay hole as if it were
heaven after the suspense of the
Ghetto. "Now we were not afraid
?not so anxious as in the Ghet
to."
Etingin had previously been
bothered with extremely piLnfuf
rhem.tatism and Mrs. Etingin had
been subject to bad headaches. for
the entire 10 months in the ground
peither had any sort of pain. Mr.
Etingin said that he has not had a'
recurrence of rheumatism since
then.
In July, 1944. as the Germans
were being forced back, the section
where the Etingins had their hid
ing place w as being turned into Vie
battleground. i
Families were moving out of the
territory. Finally. the Rtingui's
friend had to leave his ho ue.
which was bombed out. He le i
them some food and water H it.
since it was July, the bread mo'd
ed and could not be eaten They
were three days without food.
The soldiers had dug trenches
within ten feet of the hi ling
piace. The Etingins could hear all
of th^ Germans' instructions, and (
they could hear the Russian arti!-(
?ery on the other side. Any minute
they could be discovered by the
Germans or killed by the artillery.'
HELLO, HELLO
Thrn, someone moved the grass
from the hole of their hiding place
and said, 'Hello. Hello." j
The Etingins thought it was a
German soldier. Smoke cam - into
the hole. They imagined German'
soldiers had built a camp fire out
side and were making coffee. Then
puns shot. They figured the Ku.s-1
siani had spotted the smoke and
were firing in that diretion. j
Again the voice sad. "Hello,
he'lo." They decided not to cry out
although smoke was filling Ihe
hole They thought the c* had
omr and expected a grenade a->y
minute.
After about half an hour (he
v< iee was heard, "Hello, hello"
They were a'raid-everything was
quite all round. Then a woman's
voice said. "The Germans a"*
leawng." It was the sister cT the
Etingin's friend, who had a'so
taken cover in the garden.
The Germans were still only
about 200 feet away in the forest.
The family remained in the haie
two more days and the friend re
turned from his shelter. Other
people returned to their home.
LIBERATION
Then, the friend lifted the K:in
gin family from the hole. "We
could not walk. I used crutches.
AH of the family used crutches.
The war was over. After that every
one could just find any house or
an unoccupied building. I had kept
some money (the equivalent of $1>,
all <the months in the hole to use
for a hotel the first night we were
free.
"We found a building, The Ger
mans had left unexpectedly and
there was even a meal .on the table.
In the same building was a doctor.
Me massaged our legs so we could
walk again," Mr. Etingin conclud
ed.
After he was able to walk again

Mr. Etingin returned to the friend* I

started to crawl Into the bole, he
was so overcome with the memoryj
of the pant months, that he left and (
did not try to take the papers out
of the ground.
The friend who protecetd toe Bt
ingins is rtfll to Poland. 'H* is like

ion. it may help ui (though It can
not bo pleaoant) to think a whQi
about tbo betrayal of Jeaut W?
never underatand the atory ot the
Croaa when wo think of it aa lim
ply a historic event, aamethinj \
that bappenad once lony a(o, to
uiuvr
"Were you there
when they cruci
fied my Lordf"
the old Km nil.
Yet. but not only
at Calvary?wo
were in the Oar
den of Oethiem
ane, we took part
In th? hetravll.
For the betrayal Dr. Feremma
of Jeiua bj Judaa ia a picture of
the way each of ua has at some
time or other betrayed the Master.
Judas was not alone.
? ? ? ir
Judos Didn't Do Much
The betrayal waa such a tre
mendous thing, really, yet per
haps to Judas at first H did not
seem like much. We wonder why
Judas could ever have done such
a crime, and the answer may be
that Judas did not think of it as
a crime, beforehand. No doubt the
men of the Sanhedrin urged that
point on him. We can imagine
hearing them say: "Now. Judas,
why netT We are not asking you
to de anything. All we are after
Is one fact. Where can we find
this Jesus of Nazareth after hours?
Where does he spend tils nights?
We aren't asking you to arrest
him. or to strike him or hurt him
a particle. All we want is infor
mation. What we do with the In
formation, what happens after
wards,?that isn't your affair. Your
Master may turn out to be quite
innocent of all the charges going
around. You'd like to see him
cleared, wouldn't you? We'll give
him a trial; you surely don't
object to Justice, being donel All
we ask of you is one little thing:
Just tell us where to find him "
? ? ?
They All Forsook Him
Let it be repeated: Judas wii
not alone All the apostles hac
sworn loyalty, and Peter in par
ticular But given the chance tc
escape from that garden, they
made the most of it. We are told
that they ALL forsook him and
fled. Every disciple running away
into the shadows was just as truly
denying Jesus as was Simon Peter
there in the courtyard by the fire.
Every sound of running feet grow
ing fainter in the distance was
just as sickening a sound as was
Judas' kiss Judas was the first
traitor but none failed to follow
his example So it is with us Like
Judas, we don't Intend to betray
Jesus.?we who are Christians Yet
every sin is a turning of the back
on him. Every sin is a betrayal
of trust Every sin Is the same at
saying. "I do not know Jesus."
Every sin is a going over to Jesus'
enemies. It Is lining up with the
forces that would destroy Jesus
and all that he stood for. Jesus
has many friends in the world
today, but he also has many en
emies. And sin of every sort sim
ply helps Jesus' enemies and hurts
Jesus and his cause. Like Judas,
we seldom realize what we are
getting into, at first. Smooth
tongues can make evil look almost
benevolent It was not hard to rope
Judas In. Do we. too. make easy
victims for the devil?
iifo, To# Lot#
D. U Moody'* Imaginative story
toll* much of the meaning of the
Crete. Christ had Just told his disci
ple* to preach the gospel to every
creature. "To every creature?"
protest* Peter. "1 taw # soldier
cram a garland of thorns down on
your forehead till It bled ? . to
Mast" "Yet." replies Jesus' too
him. Tell him that blood was shod
tor him, too." "To ovary crea
ture?" asks Peter. "I saw a soldier
strike his spear Into your side
when you erere helpless In the very
moment of death . . preach to
htm?" "Yes," answers the Lord.,
"to him, too. Tell him there la a
nearer way to my heart than that"
To every creature?yet. but not to
Judas. For him It was too late.
Why was It so- many ask. that
Judas was no* forgiven.' - while
Peter was? Was not Peter also a
betrayer? Of course he eras. But
the difference eras that Petar earns
beck t# Jesus, but Judas newer
did., The Christian church belloge*
that ?hrlst died for our sing. Mid
not for ours orfly but for (he i-i
of the whole world. Yet there ere
those whom the sacrifice of Christ
on the cross does not save. Christ
did not savs Judas, tt Is true. But
whose was the fault?
