MY AFT AIR with a Weekly by
Weimar Jones (Blair $2.75). This
is a friendly book with keen ap
preciation of the comedies and
tragedies of everyday life and of
great qualities in obscure people.
When Weimar Jones left a good
'* job on a city newspaper to own
and edit The Franklin Press, he
was going back to his home town,
fulfilling a dream of his boyhood
and, after fifteen years, he says
the job has been “ever-new, ever-
challenging, ever rewarding.”
Of course, Mr. Jones was old
enough at the time to know that
the running of a weekly news-
^ paper would not be all fun, there
* would be headaches and plenty
of plain drudgery, so he made up
his mind to have one column
where he would write just what
he wanted to write in a personal
letter to his readers, a column
that would never be a chore. It is
the best of these columns over a
period of years that we have in
this small book, and they are full
of humor, humanity and wisdom.
® Some deal with the daily rou
tine and problems of an editor,
and more with experiences that
came to him just as a father, citi
zen and human being. Especially
likable is his relish for a joke on
himself, as in , “Life of Baffle
ment,” and the story of his mis
haps at a Chapel Hill social tea. .
Parents will appreciate his letter
to the teacher the day his small
son started to school, and inci
dentally this has some excellent
remarks on the rewards of read-
countryside of Sussex we get a
tense and exciting story.
One of them, Charles Dennim,
a Viennese scientist who served
in the British Intelligence, has be
come a British citizen, but he re
fuses to call in the police because
he knows his opponent is so fan
atically intent on revenge that he
would only lie low and wait un
til the vigilance of the police re
laxed and then come again. If
Dennim is to have any peace, the
matter must be settled between
them. Yet he admires and sympa
thizes with his enemy.
Written with consummate skill,
good characterization and touches
of humor, the tale comes to a
thrilling climax and ends satis
factorily.
ing.
What Weimar Jones never says
is that in the meantime he was
getting out an excellerlt weekly
paper that won the admiration of
newsmen throughout the state
and whose editorials were often
quoted. He became president
4^ of the North Carolina l^ess As
sociation and was asked to spend
a year at Chapel Hill as visiting
lecturer in journalism. But this
book is not just for journalists or
would-be journalists. It was writ
ten to people by a man who likes
them and understands them. It
was written to the people of Ma
con County, but its appeal should
be strong to anyone who lives or
comes from a small town and, of
4$ course, especially to Tarheels.
WATCHER IN THE SHAD
OWS by Geoffrey Household
(Little, Brown $3.95). This sus
pense novel by the author, of
“Rogue Male” has won a well
deserved place on the best seller
lists. In 1955 two tough and skill
ful intelligence officers are pitted
against each other as one seeks to
settle a score left over from
World War II. As they pursue and
elude each other over the summer
BRAZILIAN ADVENTURE by
Peter Fleming (Scribner's $5.95).
Berenson, on a return visit to this
country, remarked on the exces
sive share of attention we give*
to new productions, so that any
thing a few month^ old is already
fading from interest. This, is cer
tainly true in the field of books.
The reviews, the ads, most of the
conversation is devoted to current
best-sellers or Would-be best sel
lers, with the result that some
excellent books drop out of sight
after one season.
Thus I was greatly pleased to
see this uncommonly delightful
book of exploration in Brazil re
published after nearly thirty
years. Probably the immediate
stimulus was the success of the
author’s “Siege of Peking.” What
ever the cause I enjoyed more
than ever this account of what
the author now describes as “a
wildcat expedition committed to
a wildgoose chase.”
Peter Fleming was twenty-four
when he and a few other English
men set off with quite inadequate
preparation to find the lost Col
onel Faucett in the interior of
Brazil. A sort of youthful zest and
relish for hardships can-ied him
deep into the then unmapped por
tions of Matto Grosso even after
the head of the expedition quit
the quest as impractical.
Told with candor and a bit of
spool iig at the classic adventure
story, the book is excellent
writing from a man who abhors
the cliche and chooses his words
as carefully as the artist picks
shades of color. As with all truly
skillful performances, the result
is so good you forget the skill.

activities of one Lord Peter Wim-
sey. She attracted many admiring
readers and apparently has re
tained a notable following; for
her publishers are reprinting her
books, not in paper, but hard
covers. Apparently people want
them in their permanent libraries.
They are fine examples of the
literary mystery. Lord Peter,
whose name is so close to whim-
sey, is a well read man, and quo
tations fly right and left. Violence
is kept pretty well off stage, droll
characters abound, and the vic
tims are no one to grieve about
unduly.
This particular tale is subtitled
“A Love Story with Detective In
terruptions,” because the events
occur on Lord Peter’s honeymoon.
It is not at all the sort of tale
that you will have to sit up late
to finish. It proceeds at a leisure
ly pace with many digressions
and would be quite fun to rea^
aloud, discussing your own guess
es at the guilty one between read
ings.

lleTotlonal Beading: Isaiah
Vision and Gall
Lesson for Angnst 14, 1960
'T'HE ROMAN CATHOLIC name
■I- for it is “vocation;” the Prot
estant name for it is “calling.”
They mean Just the same thing,
the caU of God to a man or woman
for special service. Protestants and
Catholics as well are now beg^in-
ning to expand the meaning of the
word. It is being
seen by many,
though others are
slow to see it,
that God may call
a man to be a
grocer or a farm
er just as well as
to be a minister
of the Gospel. No
Christian, surely,
has any business Dr- Foreman
staying permanently in a job
where God does not want him to
be. The more you believe in the
will of God, the better you can see
that it is really not good at all to
choose your own way without ask
ing what God’s will is. The wiser
you believe God is, the miare eager
you will be to learn what he has
for you to do.
Wkt* Half-Sods So
“When half-gods go, the gods ar
rive,” a poet said. Let us say that
better: When half-gods go, then
God arrives! How did God arrive to
Isaiah ? That man was perhaps the
most famous, certainly one of the
most distinguished of the Hebrew
prophets. How the call of God
came to him, he tells us in chapter j
6 of the book of his prophecies. In i
some ways the story is hard to;
understand; but in other ways we
can put it into a modem dress, so
to speak, and get a good deal from
it. To put it shortly, Isaiah’s call,
came when he saw the Lord. But
when did he see the Lord ? He
dates it so that all his readers
would identify it. “In the year that
King Uzziah died I saw the Lord,”
he writes. That was like 1865 or
1945, when two great presidents
died. King Uzziah had not been a
perfect king, but he had been a'
strong one. People had leaned on
him as they always ilean on a
“father-image,” whether a Lincoln ‘
or a Roosevelt or a DeGaulle or any
one else. Isaiah (being out of the
top drawers in his country, a friend ;
of the royal family) had leaned no
doubt on the good king Uzziah.
When he died, Isaiah was ready for
the vision God had not sent him -
before. God became real to him, in
a time of disaster and loss, as he
had not seemed real before.
Isaiah was not carried away by,
, rapture when he saw God. The!
sight of the Divine Majesty (as
: many saints have lefumed can bo'
a terrible experience. The first ^
thing Isaiah feels is shame for hiS ;
sins, sins which God deals with not i
by washing them away but by
burning them away. To put this
into common language, perhaps too
cmnmon; Isaiah has to begin by
getting right with God. God was
calling him to be a prophet, w as we;
would say, a preacher. An impor--
tant part of a preacher's business ^
is to condemn men’s sins. But no
preacher can lead others to the •
forgiveness of God who has not i
felt that forgiveness himself. No:
preacher has the right to condemn i
other men’s sins if he spares his ^
own.
A $•■$# 6f H6MB Nttd
A Christian leader, being asked ^
what a “call of God” is, replied: i
“A call ccmsists in realizing a need i
and realizing one’s own ability to^
meet that need." So it was with*
Isaiah. He hears the voice of God j
saying “Who will go . ., and he!
cries out, ‘Here am I; send me.”!
Not all God’s messengers and serv- -
ants have beard literal sounds that ^
they could have taken off on a teqw j
recording machine. But the point!
is always the same: Men are :
dom if ever aware of the needs of j
the world until God has touched'
them. What is it to be a minister!
of the Gospd? Without that stroog I
sense of God, a minister hi onlyj .
another career man who makes a j
living by preaching rather than by i
raising bogs or selling lightning-:
rods. Without the vision of God, a.
young man asks the same quea-!
tions about the ministry that he)
asks about any (fid job: What doesj
it pay, how about promotiims, ■
bonuses, my chance to be ri<fii and <
famous? But once God has touched i
a man, the ministry is seen as a:
challenging c^portunity to be<
God’s man, and to hdp others toi
find him, regardless of salary or
setnirity. All the questi<»is vanish:
in ‘Hero am I!”
