THURSDAY. MAY 31, 1956 THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina By LOCKIE PARKER Some Looks At Books Page THREE YOUTH. The Years From Ten to Sixteen by Arnold Gesell M. D, Frances L. Zlg M. D., Louise Ames Ph. D., (Harper $5.95). This is a refreshing book. The au thors dare to write a 523 page volume without even a chapter on “delinquency,” and are care ful to state that this year’s slang expression, “teenagers,” has no evil connotations I In other words they are writing about the ninety-seven per cent of boys and girls who are grow ing up with natural and inevi table differences with their pa rents, among themselves and their environment. Abnormal dif ficulties will have to be looked up elsewhere. The young people described here are getting ac quainted with their world, and the authors recount in readable, sometimes witty, language what turns up in the way of behavior. No charts or figures purporting to establish averages offer spe cious shortcuts. The boys and girls are from, middle and upper economic level families, and many of them have been known to the staff during their earlier years when they were- observed at the Gesell Institute. Much of the descriptive text is in the words of, or told by. YouVe^ifj WE SALUTE YOU GRADS OF 19561 TATE'S HARDWARE & ELECTRIC the children themselves. Parents were especially helpful. This re search and the writing took al most six years, which means that it is original work. Inasmuch as one must trust someone to winnow facts in any research about personality, this reviewer prefers written des criptions qif characteristics be cause knowledgeable writers can, as these do, indicate the varieties of individual range and habits as mathematical charts cannot. As one reads the feeling grows that these people know the individu als they are describing. As they remark, “By the time of adol escence the differences that be comes apparent stagger descrip tion.” Each of the years has a chap ter, that for age ten covers twenty-eight two column pages; for eleven there are thirty-four and so on. It is a true reference book for the education of parents who want to keep up with their children. In the following series of chap ters the descriptive material is rearranged under chapter head ings which were the division headings in the descriptive pages. One might quote: “We use the terms growth and development interchangeably. The terms apply equally to men tal and physical attributes. The individual develops as a unit.” | “Growth is a patterning pro cess; it takes time.” In strongest italics: “The ma turity profiles, the maturity traits and the maturity trends are not to be regarded as rigid age norms nor as models. . . Every child has an individual pattern of growth unique to him. . . The ‘ages’ de note approximate zones rather than precise moments of time.” On age ten: ‘‘Ten is fond of his home and loyal to it. . . He gets along least well with siblings in the six-to-nine raqge. . . . Ten- year-old boys candidly but ve hemently express disinterest in or active disrelish for girls. One misogynist laconically said, ‘I do not like girls. Period.’ Another, speaking more mildly for his ten- year-old confreres, summed up with ‘We sort of hate girls.’ . . Girls of comparable age with slightly different accent say, ‘Oh, we don’t like boys, they can be plenty mean.’ or ‘We are not in terested in boys yet.’ ” Perhaps the above are samples of the flavor. Note might be made that Dr. Gesell began his professional ca reer as a school teacher—^he was the reviewer’s high school princi pal. Other eminent child psychia trists have made a similar change. One critic faulted Dr. Gesell because he did not spell out “why” these were normal chil- NEED A PRIVATE DETECTIVE? Call Windsor 4-2593 Or Write P. O. Box 562, Aberdeen, N. C.

Phillips (Macmil lan $2.2$). A translator has a un ique “in” as far as religious study is concerned, because the focal point of the faith is the scriptures, which in the case of Christianity is the New Testa ment in Greek. When the trans lator is of the stature of J. B. Phillips he is especially qualified' because of his facile use pf the right word, the vivid phrase and the memorable metaphor. , This unique combination of under standing and expression has made Mr. Phillips one of our foremost “apologists” and ought to commend -f his latest book, “New Testament Christianity,” to an increased circle of readers. Indeed one hopes that “un- chiu-ched people” could somehow be induced to start it and discov er what most of them and, alas, many of the churched, do not ap parently know—‘‘the sheer spir itual zest and drive of the New Testament” and the almost un believable wonder of the super human truth “that pulses and vi brates behind the steady prose” of that document. Mr. Pihllips’ little book, which can be read almost at a sitting presents the basic conviction of Christianity — New Testament and all genuine Christianity—as the certainty that our earth is the Visited Planet. In that invasion experience there are born the ■Christian qualities of Faith, Hppe, Love and Peace, which Mr. Phil lips defines against the back ground of the New Testament and which he is concerned to stimulate in the readers of his book. His effort is a most useful little treatise on Christian Main tenance (the title of one of the chapters), a nerve tonic for ac tive members of the Christian fellowship, but also it could be an instrument for stabbing awake many who, in the author’s own words, “sabotage the power and witness of the Christian fellow ship by their haphazard attach ment to the church.” Mr. Phillips’ book presents the Good News which created Chris tianity. Some may not find that exhilarating, but in the words of another distinguished British apologist. Miss Dorothy L.

To the West Lesson for June 3, 1956 TN PAUL’S vision at Troas, his night visitor did not say, “Come over into Europe and help us.” He only said “Macedonia.” In fact, the word Europe does not occur in the story at all. Paul and his con temporaries were not conscious of nioving from one continent to an other when they set sail for Mace donia. Neverthe less it was a no table move. The Christian church was moving west, and it has never stopped perma- ne ntly a t a ny frontier. The little party that took Dr. Foreman ship for Samothracia was only one of countless groups of Christians westward bound. This was the first step in a great march. The Gospel was carried into every country in Europe, then into the Americas. Here in North America, as the settlers moved inland, westward and ever westward, as the frontier moved across the land the church moved with it. Sometimes the church itself did the pioneering, as the Roman church did in Califor nia or the Protestants in Oregon. Moving and Changing Pea vines and people often change when transplanted to a dif ferent soil and climate. So it is with the church. The church at Antioch was different from the church in Jerusalem, and the church at Corinth was still differ ent and by the time the church reached Rome and settled there, more changes could ‘be seen. Churches in Northern Britain were not just like those of southern Italy. When the church came to Amer ica, there were further changes' To this day, a Presbyterian church in this country will be in many ways imlike the church of the same name in Scotland.

Even in the Roman Catholic church priests who have been in America aU their lives find some features of European Catholic churches rather strange, and vice versa. In America, too, as the church moved west it changed its ways. Always the Same “The more it changes, the more it stays the same,” is a French proverb, which might well de scribe the church of God. It is quite true, the church has gone through many changes as it has moved westward with the years, but at heart, when it has had a heart, it has always been the same. (We say “When it has had a heart,” because some churches have lost heart, or lost their heart, grown cold and died.) It would be quite a shock for a member of any American church east or west to walk into a meeting of the church at Corinth in St. Paul’s time. It would be just as puzzling for a Corinthian to enter any American church—a great cathedral in New York or a country church forty mUes from anywhere;'neither one would be like his Corinthian meet ing. But the heart of the church is the same. In Corinth, Kansas City or the Kentucky hills, wher ever people are gathered together who love the Lord Jesus, who adore Him as Son of God and know Him as their Saviour, wher ever those who love Christ are united to serve mankind in His name, there is the (Christian church at worship and at work. Languages and forms differ, but the spirit of Christ is always the same. Frontiers of the Future When the church reached the eastern edge of the Pacific Ocean, had it come to the last frontier? Is there anywhere else to go? Of course there is. Beyond the Pacific are two vast continents. The Chris tian church has been so busy stretching westward that it has aU but forgotten the “East”—which . now is literally our Far West. Asia, Africa and the islands of the seas are our Christian frontiers, the frontiers of the future, and the church is (if yet . only dimly) aware of them. The churches along these frontiers wiU be dif ferent from the churches “back home” as ours are different from Corinth and Jerusalem. But the Spirit will be there; for wherever there are true churches, there Christ lives and works again.
