THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1962 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page THREE Of- if Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE: The Story of the Natchex Trace by Jonathan Daniels (McGraw- Hill $6.95). This book launches The American Trails Series, re telling the story of America’s past through the history of its early trails, the routes that turned the wilderness into a nation. “The Devil’s Backbone” re counts the dark and bloody story of the Natchez Trace. When the flatboats sailed down the Missis sippi to New Orleans, their crews and traders had to get back up stream by land. This is how the Trace began, up from Natchez, through Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, to Nashville. “Actual ly,” says Jorjf'han Daniels, “the 'Trace took its travelers from all the Atlantic seaboard states, notably the Carolinas, Georgia and Virginia and from all the Transappalachian states which could get their products to world markets only down the Mississip pi and their traders home again only over the Natchez Trace.” From the start the Trace was a robber’s paradise, a road for the hunted and the hunter. Highway men and outlaws like Joseph Thompson Hare, the Mason gang and the Harpe brothers robbed, tortured and killed and were tor tured and killed in their turn. Murder, mayhem, the charpi of the Old South and the brutality which attended its development, massacre. Southern architecture, flora and fauna, whooping flat- boatmen, hard-plodding pioneers and high-riding cotton snobs, Tennessee toughness and Spanish duplicity, the terror and panic of slave insurrection, ar.s all to be found in this vivid and exciting book. It is also the story of how the Indians were deprived of their homes in that land and pushed west of the great Missis sippi. “Here above all,” says Jona- WALL PAINT No stirring, no priming.

Southern Pines than Daniels, “is the story of the Grasping Hand, with which a flood of all kinds of people seized the wilderness and made it their land.” Jonathan Daniels is best known here as the editor and publisher of the Raleigh News and Observ er. He has also written several books. NINE HOURS TO RAMA by Stanley Wolpert (Random House $4.95). This novel of India covers the twenty-four hours before the assassination of Gandhi, and its central figure is the mem who assassinated him, Naturam Godse. The book was written by a young man who is a specialist on South east Asia and is now teaching Indian history at the University of Southern California. It was re viewed by Rama Itau with ap proval of all but some minor points; so we may assume that the author knows what he is talk ing about. ’ This is important because much of the interest of the book lies in the vivid picture it gives of the complicated forces that opposed Gandhi or his policies at that time. There was the hard-working i leader of the Congres party, shocked and disheartened by Gandhi’s unexpected pronounce ment that now India was free, political parties should disband and all work in happy unity. There was the head of the army, trying to get on with the war in Kashmir, while Gandhi recom mended turning the other cheek. Still more dangerous forces were actively plotting against him per sonally, a sinister secret Hindu society led by the clever and fan atical Dhondo whose personal an tagonism to Gandhi dated back many years: a rich, cynical Mah araja with Machiavellian ideas of politics; and his henchman, a Parliament member gambling on chaos to be followed by a dicta torship. ^ The figures representing these varied interests become very real to the reader, and he can certain ly sympathize with the problems of the police and army in dealing with a saint. Harder to under stand is the Hindu underground and Godse himself, a man in his mid-thirties who had joined the secret society at twenty-two, fore going prospects of marriage and a professional or business career to become a “professional revolu tionary,” giving all to the cause and unquestioning obedience to its leader, Dhondo. The author strives valiantly to make this character comprehensible to the Western mind, and we do get glimmerings, but that is all. Just as a story the book reads well. There is mounting tension as the hour appointed draws near, even though we know the end. The writing is not brilliant, but it is adequate, and the full ness of the author’s study and ex perience of India give the book a satisfying solidity lacking in many historical novels. THE NINE LIVES OF HOMER C.

Address City State row $2.75); MRS COCKLE'S CAT by Philippa Pearce (Lippincoll $3.00). It is interesting to compare these two cat stories, one from lOur own country, one from Eng land. The books are the same size and shape and aimed at the same age group, five to eight. Both au thors knqw theik- cats and write unsentimentally but apprecia tively of cat character. The American book is printed in large type and gives careful at tention to keeping the vocabulary easy. Homer, a shining-striped, handsome cat, lived in an attic with Mrs. Twisp who thought him the finest cat in the world. He was a fine cat, but he was also a proud cat, particularly proud of his nine lives. How his pride led him into a series of predica ments where he lost eight of his lives but became a wiser cat is told briefly, amusingly and is gaily pictured. The English book, MRS COCKLE’S CAT, makes no spe cial concessions to the reluctant reader in either type size or vo cabulary. As one result, the au thor can tell a more substantial story and develop three-dimen sional characters in the same number of pages. Mrs. Cockle is a love, worthy to put beside Paul Galileo’s Mrs. ’Arris. She, like Mrs. Twisp, ^vesi in an attic with a cat—this 6n.e called Peter, and every day she sells balloons on the street to children. Peter is fond of Mrs. Cockle, fond of the roof on a sunny day, and very fond of a bit of fresh fish for tea. What happens when there is a dearth of the last, makes true drama, leading to a grievous sep aration and an almost miraculous reunion. A typical English touch is the way the author passes smoothly from matter-of-fact do mestic detail into fantasy, so smoothly that you hardly notice it.

Christ the Center Lesson for April 1,1962 JESUS CHRIST is often caUed 'f the center of the Christian faith, and with good reason. 'True Christian faith is quite definite, however mysterious some of its aspects may be. Just “I believe” doesn’t make a Christian out of you. Mohammed ans believe, so do Pharasees and Jews and Spiri tualists and Mor mons and Budd hists. So, for that Dr. Foreman matter, do Voo doo witch-doctors and devil-wor shippers. Everybody believes something: just believing-in-gen- eral isn’t Christian. It is not even common sense. What can possibly be meant by “believing” or “faith” without faith in something or somebody? A “believer” who isn’t in the least sure of what or whom he believes is as pathetic a figure as a “Goer” who has no idea where he is going. Just “go ing” will get you nowhere; so just “believing” gets you nowhere either. Center ol grace Christ is the center of Christian faith, the pole to which faitli’s compass swings. This is true first of all because Christ is the center of God’s grace. As the New Testa ment writers use that word “grace,” they most often mean by it the undeserved but freely given favor of God to men. Paul puts it in a nutsheU in I Tim. 1:14: “The grace of our Lord over flowed for me with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.” Grace—faith—love—Christ Jesus: they all go together, Paul cannot think of one apart from the rest. The kind of world we have to live in sometimes discourages us about a God of love. If we believe that God is a God of love, there must be a strong reason for our faith, something because of which we believe, to offset all that in spite of which we believe. And this “something” is Jesus Christy It is because we believe him to be God’s gift to us, to each one of us who will take him,—it is be cause we understand as St. Paul did that Christ's life and even death were for our sakes, that he literally poured himself out in sacrifice for us.—that we find in him the center of God’s grace Center of redempfion There are many ways used lu the New Testament, by Paul and others, to describe in metaphors whai we call Salvation—f.or Sai- vation, we must always remem ber. is the main aim of all reli gions. Salvation is what God does to rid us of what despoils and ruins us, namely sin; Salvation is the name of all that brings man out. of the “far coimtry” and into his Father’s home. One of the words, used sometiine.s in place of “Salvation,” is “Redemption, ” or literally “Buying Back.” TS.e picture is of wretched, peopie who are being held for ransom, sud denly set free through the pay ment of the price demanded. Christ is the ransom, it is he who paid the price, who was the pnee, of oiu’ freedom from siu, our being “alive to God” as P.-iul put tt once. So Christ is the center of redemption. Without him we would be unredeemed. Almost in the same sentence- Paul calls Christ the Mediator between God and man. He is the Bridge, the Way, It IS he who opens the door to God, it is he who breaks dov/n ■ our opposition, makes w as one with God. Center! How could Christ have any other place? Center of hojie Because some ChristiEus have not seen clearly the meaning of Christ and Chriistiamty for this present life and world, and h.o'.a as good as said tiiat we don’t be gin to “cash in” in our faith tiii after we die, other C.til'iSLifiiiiS have fled to the opposite extreme, and found the entire moaning of Christianity in this world and time. I'oday there is a .swing of the pendulum back toward where it used to be, though not. all the way. We can see that both ideas are true; our religion is f-oj- today, tomorrow and always. Christianity is a religion o.f hope and that needs to be remembered in dark days like the present. This earth will pass away, and God knew it when he made it. But that does not spell the end for God’s people. Christ will come again. The “ap- pearin,? of our Ijord Jesus Christ” —though in ways we may be sur prised to see—is a constant hope of the New Testament. So Christ is again the center of faith, for he is the center of our hope. (Basad «■ uotllnas «op7rIsrhted by tha DIyIbUb of ChrloUaii JEdueation, NaUoaat of tho Cfewohoii of Comnoaitx Prooi SorTlo*.)
