Some Looks
At Books
By LOCKIE PARKER
THE LINDEN TREES, A Nar-
xative of Travel in Germany by
Carlo Levi (Knopf $3,50). This is
a thoughtful account by a dis
tinguished Italian writer of his
trip to Germany in 1959. It was
a brief trip and, in his foreword,
Carlo Levi discounts its import
ance. At the same time he stress
es the importance of Germany to
all of us as the land where a hid
den infection that had infiltrated
the world broke forth with “cli
mactic violence.” Remembering
the horrors of Nazism, the gas
chambers of Dachau, “the sound
of army boots by night on the
streets of Florence,” he is con
cerned with what is going on
now in the minds and spirits of
the Germans.
His conclusion is that “Ger
many is still in shock. . . Despite
all appearances—^peace, wealth,
full employment, well-being, law
and order, and even a certain hu
mility—^the trauma has not been
overcome.” Taken out of context,
this is a large and misty generali
zation, and I always listen scep
tically to talk about national
souls, but the author proceeds to
cases.
He went first to Munich. The
people looked plump, prosperous,
mild, complacent. They gazed
tenderly at “fat little dogs wrap
ped in knitted wool sweaters.”
What could drive such a people
to war, incite them to atrocities?
At night, going from beer hall to
beer hall, as alcohol loosened
tongues, he got hints of the an
swer.
From Munich he went on to
Augsburg, Stuttgart, the two
Berlins. Communication at that
time was very fnee between East
and West Berlin, he had friends
in both places and, over and over,
he shuttled back and forth be
tween the two, pondering. He
came to a strange conclusion:
that, despite the great contrasts
between the proletarian city and

the capitalist city, despite the
radical differences in direction of
effort, they had the same inner
laws of development. “Each of
these two cities tended to carry
to the extreme the principles of
the world that governed it, in
flating those priciples to the ut
most under what it considered
the searchlight of world atten
tion.” But they did it without
conviction, did it vigorously but
without primary responsibility,
following a line they had been
given.
Carlo Levi talked with many
people, rich and poor, intellectu
als, workmen, waiters, derelicts,
business men and, refugees. He
gives vivid descriptions of just
what he saw, but he is always
primarily concerned with what
lies beneath the surface. This is
a book that asks a good deal of
the reader, a willingness to think
in abstract concepts, not a favorite
American exercise but one which
might ultimately prove as useful
as probing outer space.
the EDUCATION OF JONA
THAN BEAM by Russell Brant
ley (Macmillan $2.95). They tell
me this novel was quickly sold
out in the bookshop at Wake For
est. No wonder. It is not every
day that you get a novel written
about your own college and on a
controversial subject of such in
terest to the subject as dancing
on the campus. The author is “di
rector of communications” at
Wake Forest College, which I
suppose is a new name for a
public relations man.
Jonathan Beam is a farm boy
from Sandy County where he has
been brought up by a pious wid
owed mother, with the help of a
fundamentalist Baptist preacher.
His father had left money in his
will for Jonathan to go to Con
vention College. The preacher be
lieves this college to be now
deeply infected with sin and
“modernism,” but he does not ob
ject to Jonathan going. He thinks
Jonathan can be of use to the
Lord and to him by going and re
porting on the inroads of sin, so
that the preacher can in turn take
this information to the annual
Baptist Convention. Jonathan, at
first, refuses this assignment but
finally agrees when his mother
urges him.
Naturally, when Jonathan
reaches college, he has many un
expected experiences, and a few
that were expected. The boy is
naive but not stupid, and he
learns. The author is inclined to
overdraw his characters, but de
velops good situations.
PIGEON FEATHERS and Oth
er Stories by John Updike (Knopf
$4.00). “What do you write?” ask
ed the sailor whom John Updike
had picked up for company on a
long ride. “Oh—whatever comes
into my head,” was the answer.
It is not a bad description of the
pieces in this book, many of
which are not stories at all but
beautifully transmitted bits of
the author’s experience. Even
those of story form are often
"WE LIKE TO THINK ...”
During recent years several new industries have come
to Southern Pines and, by the looks of things, more are
on the way. This means more jobs for local folks, more
funds circulating in local pockets, more good citizens
coming here to live ...
During the past year a dozen or more drives have been
held here for funds in support of better health, better
education, to alleviate human need . . .
During the past year more people have come here to
live, attracted by what they hear or have read of the
climate, the sports, the pleasant living, the charm of a
friendly, attractive community . . .
News of all this appears regularly in the columns of
this newspaper and we like to think that The Pilot lends
a hand in such good causes.

The theme of the conference will

“The Friday evening program

transparently autobiographical,

acter under another name.
Much of this might be the note
book of a poet or literary philoso
pher. One critic sugg-ssts that Up-
idike is feeling for new method,
new. forms. However that .may,
be, he is good. He clarifies and
condenses the qualities of experi
ence until they glow like the
images in stained glass. In the
trip to visit his father stricken
with a heart attack, his apprecia
tion of the Pennsylvania Dutch
country, his subtle evocation of
verbally unexpressed family at
tachments, his emotional involve
ment with the faithful old car
that carried him there and back
is a model of writing with each
word and phrase skillfully chos
en and economically used, and
always in the background his in
tense concern with human values
and man’s need to assert them in
the face of an indifferent uni
verse.
OLD STUDENTS NEVER DIE
by Ivan T. Ross (Doubleday
$2.95). This is one of the Crime
Club stories that is part novel
in that, it depends as much on
character as plot for its drama.
Ben Gordon, high-school teacher,
at the weary end of a term, pol
ishes off the last bit and goes to
a night club where he has heard
that one of his former pupils,
Jackie Meadows, is a big hit.
Somewhat to Ben’s surprise, he
is warmly welcomed by this now
highly popular celebrity and is
eventually persuaded to go home
with Jackie for a country week
end. The setup there of a -New
England wife, a still determined
ly motherly mother and a group
of “show-type people” strikes dis
cords from the start. A corpse is
no great surprise, but the final
solution certainly is.

Law of Love
i.«sson for March 23, 1962
TN the sight of God, what is my
* most important duty? What
can I do that will yield the best
returns in life? It is a happy dis-
covery to learn that the answer
! to both questions
is the same. We
knoM' this is true
because Jesus
himself was asked
both questions,
and gave the
same answer each
time. The strange
ness of his an-
_ _ swer is tliat he
Dr. Foreman ^id not direcOy
say to either questioner: DO—
anything whatever. The highest
duty and the most rewarding
effort is not action but attitude.
For Jesus’ reply to these ques
tions was: Love God; Love your
fellowman. Jesus was not the first
to sum up the Law and the Proph
ets—in short, the entire Old Testa
ment-in these two commands,
love to God and to neif^bor; but
he gave his approval to this way
of summing it all up.
Lov* to God
We have called love an “atti
tude.*' This is not quite fair, foi
love which is only an attitude,
never resulting in action, is not
what Christ and Christians after
him mean by the word. Neverthe
less, love is an attitude before it
is an act. You might say. love
should be the atmosphere, the
light, in which you see, or think
about, God and your neighbor
Now it is clear that love to God
can’t be precisely the same a.s
love to men, even the best of men
From all that is said of “love” in
the New Testament—for instance
in I Corinthians 13, or John 13
through 17, it is plain that love,
as God approves it among men,
involves helping them when in
need. But God is never in need.
Also, love is at its high point when
it is expended on the unloving and
the unlovable; but God is never
unloving nor unlovable. Perhaps
we can put together love to God
and love to man this way: Love
means sharing their concerns
-lesus the boy was sharing the
concern of his Father in heaven
when he said, “I must be about
my Father’s business.” As a man
he was sharing his Father’s con
cern when he said; “1 always do
what is pleasing to him ” ( John
8:29.)
Love to man
-Not all that concerns God con
terns us. He has a wide universe
to control, and he has not invited
us to help operate heaven, hell oi
the .stars in the sky. But (strange
as it may seem) God does have
concerns with men; and it is these
which we can share—and wilt
share gladly if the love of God is
in us. But the concerns of men are
different. They arise out of man’s
weakness and sin, just as God's
concerns arise from bis holiness
and power. Much of the concert)
of every man can be summed up
in one question: How can I get
out of the jam I’m in? Not every
one is in the same kind of “jam.”
The troubles of an intellectual
mind wrestling with sore doubts
are not the troubles of a mothei
without enough food for her chil
dren, and neither of these kinds
of trouble is the same as those of
(say) President Kennedy, But all
the same, love to our fellow man
involves being sympathetic with
all those in trouble, of every sort,
a concern and sympathy which
wiu pull us into sharing the load
helping where and as we can
On reading the Bible
We must add a little but iinpcir
tant postscript. When this ques
tlon came to Jesu.s. on one occa
sion he gave the answer himself;
on another, he got the answer out
of his questioner. The point is that
the answer came from the Bible,
but not (so to speak) from right
on top of the Bible. How often do
you, for example, read tl'e book
of Deuteronomy or Leviticus?
That chapter 6 in Deuteronomy
has quite a bit in it which does
not fit us; but verses 4 and 3 do
intensely concern us. In that 19tb
chapter of licviticus (perhaps no
one’s favorite chapter of the Bi
ble!) there are some very pecu
liar laws, which passed away
when the nation of Israel ceased
to be. Today people plant two
kinds of seed in a field, or wear
clothes made of more than one
material, and never think of it;
modem people are not tempted
to tattoo themselves as a sign of
mourning. There is much here
that no longer has force with
Christians. But “Love your neigh
bor as yourself” does have force,
it did not pass away when Jeru
salem fell.
