fii THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1962 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina ^ r Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER Bookmobile Schedule FINAL HARVEST: Emily Dickinson's Poems, Selection and Introduction Jay Thomas H. John son (Little, Brown $4.95). This is a welcome volume. A book of poetry should never be too heavy in the hand, and the complete Emily Dickinson collection, while essential for libraries and stu dents, is not one to carry about and read at need or on impulse. Here we have about one third ci the poems in a light volume, a thoughtful and wise selection by Thomas H. Johnson, editor of the complete collection, the variorum edition and author of ‘’Emily Dickinson; an interpretative biog raphy.” He has made a good choice—at least,'the book includes my favorites, and an index of first lines make it easy to find them. There are those swift, sharp ob servations of bird and bee and flower that show them as they are and also in significant com parison to ourselves: “The Pedigree of Honey Does not concern the Bee— A Clover, any time to him, Is Aristocracy.” In this case, the editor has in cluded an earlier and longer ver sion of the same poem, and we see how the craftsman in the poet whittled this down to the sharp perfection that makes an unfor gettable impact on the mind. In a short but valuable intro duction, Johnson discusses the poet’s methods of work and her continual effort to attain the ut most concentration. But, as he says, it was not this that made her great; it was her intense vision of the predicament of man, faced with immensities he cannot fathom, understanding not the wherefore of his own catastro phes, yet asserting a certain mys tic triumph over these as she did over her own tragedy, when she cried, “Mine—by the right of the White Election!” Yet even in Man’s will to make his own as sessment of the universe and its management, she recognizes just one more manifestation of the Di vine. In a poem that begins with stating that “The Brain is wider than the Sky,” because it can con tain the sky and more beside, she comes to this characteristic co^- $4.50). This novel is chiefly no table for its intimate picture of life on one small island of the Hebrides. Allan McLean—himself born on the Isle of Skye—writes of thesd^ rugged people with un derstanding, writes of their strengths and weaknesses, their joys and griefs. To him both the place and the people have a rare quality. “When I was little,” he says, “I used to believe that Gae lic was spoken in the Garden of Eden.” Here we see a typical island community through the eyes of Niall, a boy of twenty, one of the few who has chosen not to go away to the city but to stay on his little croft, raising a few cat tle and sheep, who is deeply at tached to the land and the people and distrusts urban life and what it does to men. There is humor here, too, sometimes very crude humor when the men are at their drink. There is trouble with the police; for the township is known for its salmon poaching. Through it all runs the unchanging loyalty and kindliness these people have for each other. As Niall matures and his judg ment becomes more discrimina ting, he loses some illusions, but his essential commitment to the way of life on the island remains unshaken.

So carefully has the author constructed his plot and so subt ly does he lead up to the appear ance of the ghost that few readers will be able to resist him. The story is told by George Grantley, a quiet, middle-aged bachelor, living alone in an Eng lish village and writing scholarly books. He gets an urgent request from his friend. Sir Christopher Everness, to find an old house for him in the village. George picks Anglesey House, where he had played as a child witlj the Scarlet boy and been permanently en tranced by the Scarlet boys’ moth er. Being a retiring man, George had never heard that the house was haunted, though it was com mon talk in the village. But that is only the beginning of what George learns about the Scarlet family and about himself, as negotiations for the purchase of the house progress. Sir Chris topher, a thorough sceptic, insists on buying the house despite its reputation.

PILOT ADVERTISING PAYS in his own family that escapes tragedy only by a narrow margin. IN HIGH PLACES by Arthur Hailey (Doubleday $4.95). “How long can the United States and Canada retain their separateness in fa-ce of’ the imminent perils which threaten the survival of both?” is the challenging theme of this novel by a young English man who emigrated to Canada after World War II. Working first on a trade magazine and later as a sales promotion manager, Hailey tried his hand on a television play in 1956 and promptly swam to success in that field. In 1959 he wrote a successful novel, “’The Final Diagnosis.” Power politics and love make this a highly dramatic book There are terrific scenes at the White House, Buckingham Palace and on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill. But everything important does not happen in these exalted places. Mr. Hailey believes that “throughout history, great events have been trigger^ by incidents of apparent insignificance, in volving humble people.” This book is written with such verve that it should be very popular.

Windsor 4-2414 Aberdeen A BUS schedule has been put out in four sections: Satur day, Sunday, Monday and Week days. la American cities most pwple do not have longer than a five-day work week. The “Day of Rest” has be come one of the days of test. Nev ertheless, people come to Sunday about as tired as they used to be when evcryb.''dy worked right up Dr, Foreman to Saturday nighh only , for different rea.sons Some peo.de pay no .attention at ail to Sunday, a.nd work or play on that day just as on any other Some find Sunday a burden, others find it a proble.m. Yei it o u'ht to be a golden day, ■ T/-'’ ' ’’ >1’ tht week the best.” Day Oi res; The Fourth Comma,.uoiooi, says two things clearly. One: B.v God’.s intention, one day in seven is a “holy” day. Two- It is to be a day of rest. The Chri.stian church, after long argument, finally came to observe the first, not the sev enth day, and we give it a new name, the Lord’s Day, in memory of the resurrection of our Lord. (Though it is still called the Sab bath by many Christians.) The day chosen is less important than how the day is used. We believe— “we” meaning the great major ity of Christians today—that the Fourth Commandment has not been set aside. We would say that the Fourth Commandment gives us a guide to how we may best use the Lord’s Day; and we would als9 say that the attitude of Jesus to the Sabbath gives us further clues to the right attitude to the Lord’s Day.' The first point is that it is holy. It is a different day, a set-apart day, for that is what “holy” originally meant. It is God’s day, because that also is what “holy” meant. Further, it is a day of rest. Machines need rest, plants and animals need it, and human beings most of all. Day of worship Now our Lord’s use of the Sab bath gives us the Christian line. He knew the Fourth Command ment; but he did not suppose that ‘‘rest” meant doing literally noth ing. Certainly his Sabbaths were extremely busy; you might say He worked overtime on that day. For one thing it was then as now the day set apart for worship. It was His custom to attend the synagogue on the Sabbath day. He could have preached better sermons than he heard there, but He went all the same. Christians do not always appreciate enough what it means to be able to wor ship in freedom and peace. We are throwing away one of God’s best gifts when we let a Lord’s Day drift by without joining other Christians at worship, if we are able to go at all. The first thing communists do when they take over a country, such as China or East Germany, is to make it im possible for Christians there, or extremely difficult, to worship in church. If you can get a whole generation growing up without leisure for religion, you have driven religion imderground, and it will take a long time to return. So the Lord’s Day is a prime target of communism. Day for doing good The Pharisees of Jesus’ time were very strict about the Sab bath Day. Jesus set as n!uch store by it as they, but in a dif ferent way. Their big question was: What is WRONG to do on the Sabbath? Jesus’ question was: What is RIGHT to do? When Jesus saw any one in need of help that He could give, He never looked at the calendar first to make sure what day it was. It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath, He said. Don’t most of us have in the back of our minds some one thing, at least, some kind and helpful act, which we could do if we only had time? Well, the Lord’s Day is the time. To edme to that blessed day, the “Day of rest and gladness,” wondering whether we ought to do this or that, worrying al^ut what we are supposed to do or not to do, is frustrating. But to come to the day with the question: What good can I be, what good can I do to others, on this day when the pressure is off? is the first step to a happy day. This day was made for man, as Jesus said. For his body, his mind, his soul. What ever makes ourselves, and others nearest us, better persons, is sure ly a right thing to do on the day named for one who “went about doing good.” (Based on ontllnes eopjrlrhlei br the Dlrlsion of Christian Edmdatlon.
