THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1960 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page THREE Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER h A TIME IN ROME by Eliza beth Bowen (Knopf $4.00). This is not like any travel book that I have ever read. “Many Romans under the Empire were bad sleep ers; insomnia, I learn, was a fair ly general condition.’^ So unex pected, so captivating are the ex cursions of the author’s mind into the rich vistas of Rome’s history. Miss Bowen studied the famed city deliberately on foot one late winter and early spring; for “knowledge of Rome must be physical, sweated into the system, worked up into the brain through the thinning shoe-leather.” She saw the city alone, tew, without guide or companion in her walks, almost without con versation—“whereveh possible I avoid talking. . . I love to be left in a beatific trance when I am in one.” The result is a good deal more Bowen than guide-book. We get the reflections, the fancies stimulated in the mind of a first- rate novelist by the monument.^, the ruins, the palaces and gardens of Rome. There is^one exception. In Chapter Two, Miss Bowen takes you oh a guided tour of the Forum, determined to place every building geographically and his torically. Otherwise you never know where you will find her, whether in the underground temple of Mithras, legging it along the Ap- pian Way, cheering on the sol diers of Garibaldi as they/ attack the Janiculum or visiting the newest English cemetery. Her favorite period is that of the early Roman Empire and, being a nove list and a woman, she is at her best when she tries to imagine what the life of the Vestal Vir gins was like or that of the Em press Livia. Then there is a dra matic recounting of the dealings of St Paul with the Roman au thorities in which Miss Bowen shows considerable sympathy for the puzzled Rornan officials. But imaginative reconstruc tion of the past is not all the fare. There is always the deep under current of the enchantment that Rome was to the author’s senses —sight, sound, taste and smell— and her genius for expressing these sensations. Once on the Pal atine she overheard a young Ital ian say to his beloved, “This beautiful house of sensation in which we live,” and it is in this spirit that Miss Bowen records her love affair with Rome and justifies her insistence on seeing it close-up, on foot and alone. CAT AMONG THE PIGEONS by Agatha Christie (Dodd. Mead $2.95). It is astounding how gay this lady can make her murder mysteries. From the opening page, on the opening day of the most elegant girls’ school in Eng land, we are highly entertained not only by our wonder that mur der can possible enter so well reg ulated an institution but by a whole series of interesting char acters from a too personable gardener to- an Eastern Princess and the admirable Miss Bull- strode who heads the institution As for the mystery itself, it gets more and more b^fling as one school mistress after another gets murdered and poor Inspector Kelsey cannot see why nor can anyone else. It takes the clear eyes of an imaginative child to see and untie the first knot, and she very wisely consults Hercule Poirot who—but you know Her cule Poirot and what surprising conclusions he reaches for the most excellent reasons. r lnt«roatiorMl Umtona SuncUr School Lwom Bookmobile Schedule BY DR. KENNETH J. FOREMAN; Bible MaterUl: Acta 27:1 through 28:1& DeTotional Beading: Psalm 107:23-32. Shipwreck Lesson for March 20,1960 PRIDE OF POSESSION by James Street and Don Tracy (Lippincott $3.75,). This is a story about the boy, Kiab McCable, and his two dogs. Grits and Gravy., Don Tracy h^s taken two short stories of James Street’s and com bined their themes in this novel of boys, dogs and mountain peo ple. I do not know the stories, but the narrative hangs together, and the central situation, a boy of thirteen atdjusting to the tragic death of the father who was his hero, to loss of the. big house and his mother’s emotional reactions to both situations, makes an ade quate short novel and pleasant reading. Characteristic of both Street and Tracy is the affectionate pic ture given of the mountain peo ple, including a literary moon shiner and some Snowbird Indi ans. There is also a knowledgable portrayal of the activities, con versation and volatile emotions of the thirteen-year-old Kiah, his Indian contemporary, Hooty, and Kiah’s serene girl friend, Puddin Tayne. In fact, I found the pas sages between these youngsters THE REV, R, C. MOONEY. JR. Evangelistic Services Will Begin Sunday A week of Evangelistic Serv ices at the Southern Pines Meth odist Church will begin Sunday, March 20, and will continue through Friday, March 25, with services each evening at 7:30. The Rev. R. C. Mooney, Jr., pastor of the church, will be the preacher and the Rev. Robert Moore, pastor of the Carthage Methodist Church, will be the song leader. There will be spe cial music, as well as congrega tional singing, each evening. The local High School Glee Club will sing on Tuesday evening and the choir of the First Baptist Church and Thomas R. Howerton will sing on Thursday evening. There will be special m:usic by other groups on other evenings, as well as special music by the church’s choirs. “These services will be held as a part of the Tri-District Simulta neous Evangelistic- Campaign in the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church,” Mr. Mooney said. .•'‘During the months of March and April such services will be held in every charge of the Conference. The goal will be to enrich and deepen the spiritual life of Christians and church members, and to win pon-Chris- tians for Christ and His Church.” All Methodists are urged to at tend these services and people of all faiths and churches of the community and surrounding com munities are invited.” the most enjoyable part of the book.

Stackpole, Curator pi The Ma rine Historical Association (American Heritage $3.50). This is the first of a series of books designed to acquaint young .peo ple from ten up with America’s past. They are not a re-hash of books for adults produced by this company but completely new material. The format is stunning, hand somely reproduced old paifatings, maps, photographs, diagrams in color and blafk and white. About half the space is devoted to this illustrative material, but it is so closely tied in with the text that it adds substantially to the read er’s knowledge of how and where whales were hunted, cut un and rendered into oil that lighted homes and shops for a century or more before oil wells began pro ducing in 1859. Despite the wealth of illustra tions, there is room in this big book for a substantial text, which not only gives us sound infor mation on the development of the whaling industry but vivid insight into the lives of the men who participated. Finally there are some thrilling narratives of actual incidents from their ad venturous lives, including the strange late of the ESSEX smash ed by a whale and the lurid car eer of the Young Mutineer who dreamed of a kingdom of his own in the South Seas. i« A LL these things are agains .ix me,” said a down-hearte( old man once. Even the yoimg ant strong get the feeling that certaii kinds of things are against them We aE do, more or less. When bac weather sets in; when people won’t take pur advice; when we set trouble coming and have no way to stop it; when we are alohe in the midst of strangers; when we’ve been in jail for two years; when we are the “low man on the totem pole;”—^we feel these things Dr. Foreman are against us. We seldom think of them as open doors to opportunity. Situation Out Of Hand When we are riding the situa tion, so to speak, when we are in the driver’s seat and have every thing well in hand; when things are happening because we ordered and arranged things that way; then we sing that everything’s coming our way. But when the situation is not in hand, when every thing about the situation is either unexpected or unwanted and nothing good can be said about it, then we groan that everything is against us. Nothing is more de pressing than a situation out of hand. However, there was a remark able Christian whose story is told in the book of Acts, who never would admit that everything was against him. He always knew God was for him, and that was the main point. Situations might get out of his hands but not out of God’s hand. Consider Paul, one of a batch of prisoners aboard a grain-ship on a grey November day, bound across the Mediter ranean to the empire’s capital. When he stepped on board he was already at the bottom of the heap. He had been two years in jaU, he was then actuaUy shackled with a chain, he was probably not in good health, he had only one or two friends with him, the rest were all prisoners, soldiers and sailors, a pretty rough crowd for a preacher. Not only that, but he had given good advice (Don’t sail, the stormy season is starting) but had been turned down. Paul was an old Mediterranean hand, he knew the weather signs. But no body paid him any mind. 'Then came the storm and the ship wreck. Read all about it in Acts. It was a narrow squeak. MARCH 22-25 . Tuesday, March 22, Union Church Route -— Mrs. O. C.

Rowe and Rowe, Attorneys, Southern Pines, N. C. ' M17,24i31,A7,14,21c Littia Man fa Big Man The point is, Paul never spent a minute wishing he were in a better situation. He never put In a com plaint that aU these things were against him. He used the oppor tunity all these disasters gave him. But he did not use It for himself, he used it for others. To be sure, he could not resist saying in effect “I told you so.” But he did not stop with that. He became the most useful and most respected man on the ship. When they started he was just another prisoner, a little man in every sense; when the crash came he was the big man. For one thing, he. brought courage to the others by his own faith. He talked Janguage they could not vmderstand. Get something to eat, he said. And don’t let anybody steal the life-boat. Always A WItneu Paul did preach, though. He was not a man to let a chance go by. He preached by his very attitude, but he also gave witness in words. He said just why it was that he was so confident. His faith was not in himself nor in the ship’s cap tain, it was in God. Now it is no news that men pray in hurricanes. But it is news when men in hurri canes do not pray mostly for them selves. There is a lovely touch in what Paul said to the other seasick men on the stormy deck. The angel of his dream had said to him: “God has granted you all those who sail with you.” Paul thinks of his fellow-passengers—even of the soldiers who had him in charge, the crew, everybody—thinks of them as his own because God had given them to him. A man who does not ask special favors for himself, a man who, if he is going to be saved, wants others to be rescued with him—a man like that will get a hearing when he speaks a good word for the God to whom he belongs and whom he serves.

Go To Church Attend The Church of Your Choice Next Sunday Did you ever notice that small children talk about God with a faith so simple, so beautiful that you cannot question its sincerity? Ask them why they like the rain, for instance, and they may answer, “Because God made it, so the flowers will grow.” Unlike grown-ups, children accept God’s order without a doubt. They believe in his love for them a$ naturally as they get up with the daylight and go to bed with the dark. In God’s eyes, we are all children . . . His children. And what we adults have lost in the way of vision, in the way of faith, must be renewed and replenished with each day and advancing year. We, too, can find God again/ —and, often, ourselves as well—by going to church, by praying, and by accepting the love He stands so ready to give us. Copyright I960, Kehter AJv.

It isa storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy noir civiliza' tion can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should at* tend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake,. (2^ For his children's sak.e. (3) For the. sake of hit community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church icSelf. which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
