Summer Reading
This is the year of the 100th
amviversary of the birth of Wood-
row Wilson. As a part of the cen
tennial tribute to the great war
president, “The Politics of Wood-
row Wilson; Selections from His
Speeches and Writings” (Harper)
edited, with an introduction, by
August Heckscher has been pub
lished.
There are, of course, other col
lections of Wilsonia, including
the voluminous Ray Stannard
Baker work. The present volume
has distinction, however, because
of its timeliness and the particu
lar purpose which its editor-com
piler has tried to achieve.
Characterizing Wilson as “a
great image and mighty force”
in his day, Mr. Heckscher des
cribes this book as an effort to re
create these attributes in a way
which will be relevant to modern
times—to make clear why those
who knew this ‘‘image and force”
in their full tide speak of them
with awe, “and which a new gen
eration can iU afford to neglect.”
Commenting further on the
timelines of a reexamination of
Wilson thinking Mr. Heckscher
says that increasingly Americans
are aware that without principles
adhered to, without the concept
of enduring values, this country
risks losing the advantage which
it has maintained in the past over
every form of imperial or aggres
sive power. In that realization we
should be ready to turn back to a
deeper study of the example of
Woodrow Wilson. The lonely
scholar seeking the path to action
in a democracy, the upright in
dividual condemned to find suc-

cess in failure .brings a note into
contemporary discussion to guide
us past the twin pitfalls of ex
perience and despair.
Mr. Heckscher stresses the fact
that WSlson “in the fullnes of his
intellectual and spiritual power
... exhibited a kind of leadership
from which the present genera
tion may dissent but which it
pannot afford to dismiss as irrel
evant. He saw things in a clear
ihorning light. He honestly be
lieved that men could put aside
the obsessions which divided or
confused them and disinterest
edly pursue the common good.”
l^e Virginia-born former Pres
ident of Princeton, whp practised
law for a brief time in Atlanta,
“had an instinctive grasp of reali'
ties which enabled him to pre
serve the vital balance between
ideals and practice,” notes the
editor-compiler, who says “his
disposition. . . was to penetrate
to moral issues and to expect men
and women to submerge narrow
interests in pursuit of a common
ideal.”
To give contemporary readers
ja better understanding of the
great proponent of the League
of Nation's, Mr. Heckscher groups
his selections under these head
ings: “The Problem of the Const!
tution,” “Making of a Nation,”
“The Individual and Society,”
“Under a Higher Judgment,
“The Ideals of Education,” “The
Political Scene,” ‘‘The Challenge
of Action,” “Foundations of Re
form,” “The Exercise of Power,”
“The Essence of America,” “From
Neutrality to Leadership,” “Into
WaiT,” “Toward Peace,” “The
Great Hour,” “Image of the
League,” and “The Lost Battle.”
As Author Schlesinger Jr. has
said, this is a book ‘“which res
tores Wilson as a political think
er in all his variety, insight, and
excitement.”
Mr. Heckscher is president of
the Woodrow Wilson Foundation
and was formerly chief editorial
writer for the New York Herald
Tribune.

Son of God
Lesson for July 8, 1956
O NE thing the Christian_church
has believed from the begin
ning: Jesus is divine. Now the Bi
ble never says that in those words.
A more vivid and personal way of
expressing it is the Bible way.
There he is called Son of God.
Theologians have written volumes
on top of volumes
to explain what it
means to call Je
sus the Son of
God, and some of
these volumes are
pretty hard to un- |
derstand. It is im-
portant to look
into the Bible it
self and see what
is said there.! The Foreman
letter to the Hebrews (one of those
nine letters at the end of the New
Testament), in^the very first sen
tence, gives Jesus the title of Son;
but does not finish the sentence
before beginning to explain a lit
tle what is meant by this.
God Speaks by a Son
The first thing we are told here
Is that God, who has been speak
ing to men for thousands of years
in various ways, has at last spoken
to us by a Son. Jesus Christ is
God’s answer to man’s questions,
he is the answer to man’s call for
help, he is God calling to us. Men
have long wished the sky were not
so silent. They wish they could
read the inscrutable mind of the
most high God. Well, God has
spoken, he has given us his last
and best Word. And this Word is
not in the form of a textbook, not
in the form of an answer-book for
all the riddles of existence. God’s
message to man is not a creed,
however good it may be. His mes
sage is in a Person, a Life. We
want to know what God thinks. We
wish he would say something. Well,
God has said . . . and what he says
is Jesus Christ.
Through Him, the World
The line that divides aU things
that exist into two different. kinds
of things, the first and most im
portant line, is not the line divid
ing spirit from matter. The real
dividing-line is that which runs /bC'
tween Creator and Created, or to
put it in another way, the line
between God and everything else
that is. When you take time to
think about it, you can see that
only God can be on the creator-
side of creation. God alone, of all
that exists, is because he is and
not because something or some
body else made him be. Every
man must say to himself, “If it
were not for such and such a per
son, or such and such an event, I
would not be here.” But God could
not truly say a thing like that. He
does not depend on something or
some one else for his very exist
ence, as we do. It is by his good
will that we are in the universe at
aU; it is by his will that the uni
verse is here for us to be in. Now
the letter to the Yiebrews declares
that Christ is God’s active agent
in creation. In the simple words of
the writer, we read that through
the Son, God created the world.
No wonder the early church soon
saw that this puts Jesus on the
God-side of that line dividing Cre
ator from Created. This is part of
what we mean when we say that
Jesus Christ is divine.
Ratlection and Stamp
Another part of what we mean
is expressed in those two words
“reflection” and “stamp.” The old
Greeks had a story about a crea
ture called a Gorgon, with snakes
for hair, so horrible that the very
sight of her turned the beholder to
stone. Only when a brave man
thought of going up to her, not
looking directly at her but into a
mirror, was any one able to enter
her presence and live. In quite the
opposite way, God is not too hor
rible, but too holy, for mere men
to gaze at. We too need a mirror
to reflect the unbearable glory of
God; Christ is that reflection. He
is likewise the “stamp” of God’s
nature. He is as it were God’s sig
nature, his • handwriting, his per
sonal seaL
“Therefore ... Closer Attention”
The divinity of Christ, of which
these sentences in Hebrew are
only a few of the New Testament
testimonies, was never thought of,
in those clear early days of the
church, as a mere doctrine in a
book. It meant and means some
thing intensely practical. If Jesus
is really divine, then, we cannot
just take him or leave him. If he
is God’s Son he is no more op
tional than God is. Deciding for or
against him is the most important
decision in life. What he tells and
teaches is not “one man’s opin
ion,” is not even the voice of gen- i
ius; it is the Voice of God. I

We need fences. They serve a
good purpose. They give protection.
But unless they have gates in them,
they stop being fences and they be
come barriers. Without that gate,
for instance, Mary Jane couldn’t go
across to the garden next door, and
play with the little girl who lives
there.
And, just as we need physical
fences sometimes, we need mental
and spiritual fences too. We need
the privacy of our own thoughts,
the sanctity of our own beliefs.
Danger comes only when we build
barriers rather than fences around
our inner selves. For none of us can
live in spiritual isolation. We must
have gates in our personal fences.
We must permit Faith to enter. We
must commune with others ... and,
above all, with God.

AU FOR THE CHURCH
Th« Church is tha greatest fac
tor on earth for tha building of
character and good citizenship. It
IS a storehouse of spiritual values
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup-
^rt the Church. They ore; (1)
For his own. sake. (2) For his
children s sake. (3) For the sake
ot his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
