Some Looks At Books
WILDERNESS ROAD, a Par
able for Modem Times by Paul
Green (French $3,00). Here is an
other stirring drama by Paul
Green, designed for outdoor pro
duction with music, dance, bal
lad, folk-song, pantomime and
pageantry. I did not have the good
fortune to see it when it was pro
duced last year at the centennial
celebration of Berea College but
it must have been successful as
they now plan to give it each
summer at Indian Fort Amphi
theatre near Berea.
The scene is the Kentucky
mountains, the time is 1858 to
1863, and the main characters
are all mountain people. These
characters are not drawn from lo
cal history; they are the author’s
creations, but, as his publisher
says, “ ‘Wilderness Road’ has its
quality of truth nevertheless, the
truth associated with biblical and
democratic doctrine and artisti
integrity.”
John Freeman, a mountaineer
school teacher sees his commu
nity torn apart by the conflicts
that reached their climax in the
Civil War. He has come home
from a school in Ohio to devote
his life to bringing education to
his people and finds some of
them regard him with suspicion.
iHe earnestly tries to follow
^ Christian principles and-the dem
ocratic traditions of America.
Others, too, are searching their
souls and trying to stand up
against community pressure.
It is the story of some of the
nation’s educational and social
frontiers and of the Americans
who travelled “wilderness roads”
of the mind and spirit to reach
them, roads no less difficult than
those their pioneer forefathers
had travelled when they came to
settle that country.
With the declaration of war,
the ■ undercurrents of tension
break out in direct action. John’s
school is ‘destroyed, his brother
joins the Confederate Army, his
favorite pupil cries out against
him because John who believes
that “violence accomplishes noth
ing” will not go with him to the
Union Army. In the end a sort of
harmony is reached through trag
edy and suffering, and we see
John’s ideals living after him.
When they bring his body home
to the hills he loved, the preach
er says, “He died with love in his
heart, a love that says—God hath
made of one blood all nations of
men for to dwell on the face of
the earth. He was a good man.”
AU the people. Union and Con
federate, respond “Amen” and
promise to rebuild his school.
where he has lived, or out of
which he has worked, for fifty
years in the service of the For
eign Office, the City, or Lord
Beaverbrook’s newspapers. The
book is a summing up of his im
pressions of England and the
English and the changes that
have come to them in this time.
Whether one agrees with all his
judgments or not here is a man
of intelligence and heart who has
had unusual opportunities to see
the English at all levels and who
has a profound interest in poli
tics, the arts and that vaguer
thing called culture.
He was also willing to change
his mind with experience. As a
young man fresh from study in
Germany he thought the country
was “games-mad” but later be
came an enthusiast on cricket
and Rugby matches. However he
still finds it odd that the BBC
should announce an English vic
tory in a cricket match before a
national railway strike. Yet this,
too, falls in place as part of their
steadiness and refusal to be up
set by events that would throw
more volatile nations into a
panic. Common sense, loyalty,
dislike of extremists, love of ad
venture, kindness, will-power
and inventive genius are among
the virtues he gives them, and he
enriches comment with striking
examples.
The book follows the chrono
logical order from the reign of
John B. Timmons
Receives Master’s
At U. Of Michigan
John B. Timmons, son of Dr.
and Mrs. Wofford C. Timmons of
Southern Pines, was awarded a
Master’s Degree in Business Ad-
ministyation at commencement
exercises hold at the University
of Michigan last Saturday.
Timmons, a graduate of Yale
University, saw service as a for
ward observer with the Field Ar
tillery Corps in Korea.
He will join General Electric in
Bridgeport, Conn., in the market
ing research department this
month. His specialty will be
world markets.
The Town Council of the Town
of Southern Pines do enact an
amendment of the Zoning Ordi
nance as follows:

worth reading for his many
stories of informal conversation
al exchanges between Churchill,
Beaverbrook, H. G. Wells, Belloc
and other celebrities as well as
for its thoughtful assessment of
the status and prospects of Eng
land. His discussion of present at
titudes toward the United States
will help Americans to under
stand some things that may have
irritated them.
YOUR ENGLAND by Sir Rob
ert Bruce Lockhart (Putnam
$4.00). After twenty years I still
remeinber the thrill of pleasure
and surprise with which I read
“Memoirs of a British Agent,” a
book by an unknown author
picked at random from a foreign
bookstall. Since then Sir Bruce
Lockhart has written several
books on foreign affairs that
range from Malaya to Scotland.
Now in the ripeness of his years
he has given us a wise and gentle
book on England.
Although the author says he is
“a. Scot to the last drop of my
blood,” he has, like many another
Scot, made his career in England
WYATT EARP, U. S. MAR
SHAL by Stewart H. Holbrook
(Landmark $1.50). “A sore head,”
remarked Wyatt Earp, “is niuch
better than being dead.” So when
a journalist gave him a beautiful
Colt revolver with a twelve-inch
barrel, he used it for hitting riot
ous cowboys over the head in
stead of shooting them. Yet he
tamed the rough cowtown of
Wichita, arresting 800 men in two
years and only shooting one and
that just a flesh wound. ’Then
when Dodge City began having
trouble—twenty-five men killed
in brawls in ten months—t’ney
sent for Earp.
'This book tells of his career in
that city; a western Marshal who
believed in keeping order with
out bloodshed. Of course, the
cowboys were sceptical but he
convinced them singly or in
gangs.
We learn that a motion picture
is shortly to be released dealing
with Earp’s career. Probably the
larger part of it will deal with
his activities in Arizona. He and
his three brothers went to Tomb
stone as prospectors but arrived
too late to stake any likely claim.
However, Wyatt’s reputation had
gone before him, and soon he and
his brothers were “law and or-
ider” men again in a tough town.
Hold-ups of the Wells Fargo
stages, a slippery^ sheriff, Curly
Bill’s gang and the fight in the
O K Corrall where Wyatt Earp
did shoot to kill make a swift
paced tale of fact hard to better
in fiction. The Landmark editors
have again chosen an expert
writer who knows his subject
thoroughly.
It is aimed at the ten to four
teen age.

est Ecuador. It is safe to say that
most of the readers of Life had
not heard of the Aucas before. In
deed most American church mem
bers had never heard of them. But
the point is, some Christians had,
and to hear was to want to go and
tell them the story of Jesus. Now
there are five dead missionaries,
and five widows . . . but it is safe
to predict that some of these will
go back, and others wiU follow,
and one day it wiU be as sale to
live among the Aucas as it is on
your own street. You cannot stop
the pioneers.
A world religion
Why has the Bible been trans
lated into so many hundreds of
languages? Not for fun. They don’t
first translate the Bible into (say)
Mayan, and then start looking for
some Mayans to try it on. It is the
other way around. First some mis
sionaries go to the Mayans, and
they win some to Christ. And then
both the missionaries and the new
Christians want a Bible in the lan
guage of the land, so some one
starts to translate it into Mayan,
and after some years of hard work
there appears a Mayan New Tes
tament. Some day the Old will ap
pear too. Every translation of the
Bible is evidence that mission
aries have been at work. If the
Christian religion had stayed
where it started (it would have
died, but let’s suppose it lived)
there would be no English Bibles,
no Latin, no French, only some
obscure dialect of Hebrew. The
existence of Bibles in English
points to the work of missionaries
centuries ago who brought not only
culture but religion to our wild
ancestors.
Miles are made of yards
We talk about the spread of
Christianity, and indeed it has
spread around the world. But it
never spreads any farther at one
time than from one person to one
person. Drop a stone into a pond
and presently the ripples reach
every shore. But the first ripple is
hardly bigger than the stone. Ev
ery road, no matter how long, is
made up of very short stretches.
Every mile is made of yards,
yards are made of inches. You
can’t cover ten thousand miles
without covering every inch of all
that distance. A plain church
member calling on a neighbor
and saying a good word for Jesus
Christ may not feel like a “world
Christian”; but that Is what he is.
If the world is ever won for Christ
it must be man by man. No leSs
a person than Billy Graham has
said that the most effective kind of
evangelism in the world is visita
tion evangelisna^ one plus one plus
one.

' I 'HE doctor who wrote what we
call the book of Acts must have
known that his story was not the
whole story. He throws his spot
light first on one leader, then on
another; occasionally on a whole
church. During more than half his
book he follows 'one man, Paul.
Luke could not
have supposed—
for his friend Paul
would not have
let him make
such a mistake—
that the story of
Paul was the
whole story of the
church. But he
knew that it is
men who make
history. Paul was
ing, and typical. He was outstand
ing in that there is no record in
the New Testament of any leader
as great as he. He was typical in
that for him as for others, Chris
tianity is not a quiet stand-still
religion; it must move.
Pioneers
In the book of Acts the reader
sees Christianity moving always in
one direction: west. It has been
going west ever since. But there
were already pioneers in other di
rections. To the north went mis
sionaries into the countries now
known as France, Holland, Scan
dinavia, Great Britain. To the
south went the pioneer Christians
who founded the churches along
the southern side of the Mediter
ranean and even penetrated up the
Nile. To the east went pioneers
who brought the Gospel to what is
now Iraq. It was not long before
there were Christians as far away
as India. The Book of Acts closes
with Paul in the world-capital of
Rome. But the story of the Acts
of the Holy Spirit through the
Christian church is still being told.
It is an unfinished story. It will
always be an unfinished story so
long as there are persons yet to
be won. Life Magazine carried
story about the martyrdom
some young missionaries to the
Aucas, a tribe of Indians in dark
