THE PILOT—Soiiihorn I^nes. North Carolina
Some Looks
At Books
By LOCKIE PARKER
At the Christmas season, chil
dren are at the top of the gift list j
and books are favorite gifts. i
American editors and publishers
produce hundreds of new books
each fear for our fortunate chil-j
dren as well as new editions of
the old favorites which usually
show advances in type, design I
and quality of illustration over|
those of a few decades back. i
It would be a bold critic indeed
who would pick out “the best” of
these but here are a few thatj
have especially pleased us. |
WHISTLE FOR THE TRAIN
by Golden MacDonald, illustra
ted by Leonard Weisgard (Dou-'
bleday $2.50). This for the very
young with its rhythmic text and
repetition about the little black
train that goes down the track
“clickety-clack, clickety-clack.”
We see a kitten approach the
track and the little train blows a
whistle to make the kitten stand
back and then it goes on, “click
ety-clack, clickety-clack, click
ety-clack.” The same idea is re
peated with other animals and
finally with boys and girls.
Anyone who ^s worked with
children of nursery school age
will know how popular is this
repeating of the pattern until the
children can almost keep ahead of
you and shout the next line be-j
fore you get there. The artist’s'
soft lithographs are models of
simplicity and real appeal for
this age.
THE DSEFDL DRAGON OF
SAM LING TOY, written and il
lustrated by Glen Dines (MacMil
lan $2.25). More exotic and
more fanciful and so just a shade
older in appeal is this warm
story of the lovable Sam Ling.
Sam Ling had a laundry shop
in Chinatown that was just like
Einy other laundry shop except
for puppies, kittens, bunnies,
fish, frogs, turtles, mice—^he just
couldn’t resist any living crea
ture—and the children who came
to visit them. One day he picked
up a little lizard and fed it and
it grew and grew and grew until
it became a dragon, and that is
where the tale gets really exci
ting and hilarious.
Colored pictures on every page
show such amusing situations
as the dragon trying to be a traf-'
fic policeman, trying to run a
cable car, helping the Mayor
greet distinguished strangers and
so on.
CINNEBAR: THE ONE
O'CLOCK FOX by Marguerite
Henry and Wesley Dennis (Rand
McNally $2.95). Cinnebar lived in
Virginia on George Washington’s
estate and he was so famous a
fox that they had a song about
him;
“We’ll catch the one o’clock
fox
And put him in a box
And never let him go.”
This famous author-artist team
has produced several books well
loved by children—“Misty of
Chincoteague,” “King of the
Wind,” “Brighty of Grand Can
yon.” Here they have a new ani
mal hero—a dashing, courageous,
fun-loving fellow; for Cinnebar
the Fox loved the hunt quite as
much as the huntsmen.
But Cinnebar was also a good
father and the story of his do
mestic life, his admiring wife
Vicky and those four rollicking
jliittle cubs—Rascal and Pascal,
Merry and Mischief—^will be
throughly relished by aU chil-
dm who are fond of animals and
that is 99.9 per cent of them.
Marguerite Henry had two fox
cubs in a cage outside her win
dow and watched them daily
while writing her book. Both she
and the artist show a thorough
familiarity with and admiration
of foxes and foxiness, but Miss
Henry is no ^stickler for using
only proven facts. She feels she
knows what foxes think and feel
and say alone in their dens and
she tells you aU about it, so that
you get rounded characters
whose adventures you share,
sometimes with anxiety, some
times with glee.
THE GYPSIES' FIDDLE AND
OTHER GYPSY STORIES by
M. A. JagMMtenf and C. K. TUlba-
gen (Vanguard $2D0). Gypsies
have gathered around their
camprfires for generations—^tell
ing stories of kings and princes,
coppersmiths and fiddles, drag
ons and horses. The colorful tales
in this collection come directly
from' the great gypsy Taikon, and
the authore have made them into
a book as inviting as the wide
open road the gypsies travel.
“It it hadn’t happened, it
wouldn’t be told”—toat’s how
the gypsies start their wonder
ful stories. But whether' they
happened or not, these gypsy
tales are fun to read and fun to
tell.
There was the silly fellow who
sold his beard without shaving it
off his face; there are the horses
with the flaming tails that gave
off warmth like a feather bed;
and there are the cows that flew
over the sea, and many more ex
citing adventures.
\ Maybe they never happened
but, as the gypsies say, when you
'are always in the woods, under
the moon and in the wind, you
hear more clearly, feel more
keenly, and see more.
So who knows?

They need prop» attention if
they are to grow up properly.
Dr. Foreman
T here are many ways of living
in this world. There is the way
)f ruthless pride, with the motto:
"The world is my orange and I in
tend to squeeze it.” There is the
,vay of the fool, who never thinks
leyond today and is always sur-
orised to discover that what he
iowed came up and what he didn’t
)lant did not come up. There is
he way of the
, I a z y man who
aan’t be bothered,
and who always
takes the easiest
way no matter
what. There Is
even the way of
hate, the way of
bitterness and
suspicion, going
always downhill
among dead trees without leaf or
fruit. Everybody knows that these
are none of them Christian ways.
Even those who are not Christians
know that the way of Christ is the
way of love.
Other Ways of Love
But what is the Christian way
of love? There are more ways than
one to use the word “love.” There
are ways of love, so called, which
are not the Christian way. For in
stance, there is something called
love, which consists really of fond
ness for things or people that are
lovable. For example, a young
woman stands at an altar and
promises to take a man "for better
for worse, for richer for poorer, in
sickness and in health.” But she
does not really hear the vow she
makes. And if the man turns out
to be poorer or worse than she
thought, she looks up a divorce
lawyer. The way of Christian love
does not demand lovableness first;
on the contrary, Christian love can
make an unlovely and' unloving
person lovable. Some love is all
for one’s own benefit; “I love you”
can mean no more than “I want'
you for m.y exclusive use.” Chris
tian love “does not insist on its
own way.” It does not ask, “V/hat
can you do for me?” but “What
may I do for you?”
81er,si'!ig ilie Universe
Another way of love, sometimes
mistaken for the Christian way, is
no better than sheer sloppy senti
mentality. Sometimes it consists in
a vague feeling that everything is
very nice in a very happy world.
A minister once preached on the
text, “Ye that love the Lord, hate
evU.” After the sermon a lady told
him she didn’t like that sermon at
all. She had been brought up to
believe that love was always right
and hate always wrong. Love is al
ways right, yes; but that does not
mean we can feel free to love what
is evil. If we love the good, we
shall not love what destroys good.
Sometimes this substitute for
Christian love takes the form of a
general feeling of good will toward
the world in general. A weU-known
American wrote shortly before his
death, “I bless the universe.” Now
it is certainly better to bless the
universe than to curse it. But bless
ing the universe seems a curious
sort of thing to do. Are you really
blessing all of it, sir? Cholera and
polio, stars and atoms and ty
phoons and germs, criminal and
judge, saints and sinners, miracles
and murderers? We have to be
careful that we don’t love the uni
verse in such a way that whatever
happens seems exactly rig’nt!
The Christian 'Way
The Christian way of love is not
totally different from these other
ways; but it is vitally different. It
is inspired by God in the first place
and it mirrors his love. It goes be
yond the lovable, it is more than
an exchange of love. It even goes
out to one’s enemies. American
history gives us two striking illus
trations of' the actual power of
love, in two men on opposite sides
of the American cMl war. 'The
two enemies, as they once were,
are now honored more perhaps
than any other two in that tragic
conflict: Lincoln and Lee. Each
was a man who could do nothing
else but stand by his convictions
and fight even when other men
were ready to give up. Their lova
was not the child of indifference^
selfishness or cowardice. But it was
Lincoln who coined the phrase,
“charity toward all and malice
toward none,” — and he meant
every word of it. It was Lee wha
later as president of a college re
fused to let any one in his presence
speak evil of his former enemies.
It is not the men who are the best
haters, but those whn show what
Christian love is, who have great
est power over the hearts of man
kind.

OTl€i OP PH€1 PJITHPIIL ^
Joe and I ■were passing the record shop the Saturday
before Christmas. An amplifier was blaring, “O Come, All
i Ye Faithful.”
“That leaves me out,” said Joe, cynically. "I’m not one
ol the faithful, so I’m not supposed to come"
Now, I’m a Christian; and I can’t let a remark like
that go unanswered.
“Ever stop to think, Joe, that the faithful are not only the
folks who have been faithful, but also the folks who are
going to become faithful.. . like you, Joe?”
To make a long story short, Joe went with me to
Church the next day. And we both heard the Pastor
say that the purpose of Christmas is to reveal God’s
love to a world that does not understand . . .
Nowadays, when I see Joe singing in the choir,
I remember the record shop and

ship for the faithful of yesterday,
