Some Looks
At Books
Bj LOCKIE PARKER
SHIP OF FOOLS by Katherine
Anne Porter (Little-Brown $6.50).
This is the critics’ choice of the
spring books. In the Saturday Re
view’s poll of newspaper review
ers, this novel received twenty-
seven votes out of a possible fifty-
two. The book had a certain fame
long before it appeared. Miss
Porter, whose short stories rank
as modem classics, was urged
years ago to write a novel, ibegan
it, reported progress, postponed
it and so on for twenty years.
The result, as one cautious
critic put it, is neither a triumph
nor a failure. The qualities which
distinguish her stories are there—
the command of language; the
subtle perception that captures
ci.aracter in a gesture, a phrase,
the set of a garment; the concen
tration of attention on significent
small scenes between people with
their inner repercussions. What is
not here is any impressive form
as a novel, any noteworthy de
velopment of plot or plan. Even
her characters pretty much end
where they began.
The design of the book, as the
author says in a foreword, is “the
simple almost universal image of
the ship of this world on its voy
age to eternity.” Actually the
ship in question is a particular
ship at a particuiar time, a Ger
man ship with a majorty of mid
dle-class German passengers in
the early 1930’s. The author views
them with a cool and critical eye.
She is repelled by their smugness,
their anti-Semitism, their love
of hearty food. But then she re
gards the other passengers—
Spanish, American, Cuban—^with
equally cool detachment, paying
withering attention to small idio
syncrasies, bad taste in ties, a
cloying perfume, the over-hygien
ic habits of an American. One
would think Miss Porter had been
shut up as cabin mate in too close
quarters with each in turn. Nor
do these people appear to have

liked each other much better. At
the end, the Captain expresses his
contempt for the lot. When the
gentle ship’s doctor protests that
there are “still some very decent
persons on board,” the Captain
retorts, “Show me one.”
To my mind this is a book of
great faults and great qualities.
The character drawing is superb
if not sympathetic. One will not
soon forget those demon children,
Ric and Rac, nor Frau Hutten
with her fat, white bulldog, nor
the adolescent Elsa, unattractive,
full of sentimental dreams,
stresiked with a pessimistic real
ism. It is a gallery of portraits
that one can scarcely match in
contemporary literature, and the
scenes between people are just as
sharply etched.
SO YOU WANT TO RAISE A
BOY? by W. Cleon Skousen
(Doubleday $4.50). “There are no
living experts on the subject of
raising boys,” says the author of
this book. But Mr. Skousen, who
is the father of five boys ranging
in ages from five to twenty-one,
has had a high degree of experi
ence in this field. Besides his five
boys, Mr. Skousen has three girls,
and his extensive career in law
enforcement has made him ac
quainted with all sorts of chil
dren in trouble.
“So You Want to Raise a Boy?”
is described by the author as “an
adventurous attempt to set down
as simply as possible the ABC’s
of child psychology and the
XYZ’s of parental survival.” Be
ginning with a chapter entitled
“How Little Boys Are Made,” Mr.
Skousen guides his readers year
by year through childhood and
and adolescence, emphasizing the
principle personality trait com
mon to each period:
THE ME STAGE—the four-
year-old.
THE SILENT REBEL—the thir
teen-year-old.
THE GENTLEMAN BRONCO—
the eighteen-year-old.
TODAY, TODAY I AM A MAN
—the twenty-one-year-old.
In addition, he devotes sepa-
1 rate chapters to some of the spe
cially important problems of
growing up, such as “Sharing the
Facts of Life,” “What about Alco
hol?” and ‘The Problem of Build
ing Balanced Personalities.”
Bom in Canada, Mr. Skousen
received his education in that
cormtry, the United States and
Mexico. He has served with the
FBI and been Chief of Police in
Salt Lake City, where he stiU.
lives.
WEST WITH THE SUN by
Stuart Cloete (Doubleday $5.95i).
Ever want to take a long leisure
ly voyage on a freighter? Stuart
Cloete and his wife circled the
globe on a Norwegien freighter
and found it a pleasant and in
formative experience. He oblig
ingly gives not only descriptions
of scenery, people and food but
includes a list of the expenses—
fare, hotel rooms, purchases. They
sailed from New Orleans, went
through the Panama Canal and
west to the Philippines, Hong
Kong, Singapore, several stops in
Indonesia and back by Cairo and
the Mediterranean.
As Cloete is a native South
African, brought up in France and
now an American, he had a spe
cial background for observing
and reporting on the newly inde
pendent nations. What he found
was not top good. Independence
had done little to relieve extreme
poverty. In fact production and
trade were running down under
iiiefficient management, especial
ly in Indonesia. The once neat
cities were shabby. The people
were discontented and ripe for
Communism. He criticizes our
own efforts in these countries for
much the same reasons made fa
miliar by “The Ugly American.”
What the people need first, he
says, is food—not handouts but
food raised by themselves under
better managed agriculture and
distribution.
GIDEON'S MARCH by J, J.
Marie (Harper $3.50). This offers
a gripping tale of suspense plus
an unusual picture of the prob
lems and procedures of a police
department when a summit
meeting is scheduled.
Commander Gideon of Scot
land Yard is faced with the re
sponsibility of seeing to the safe
ty of the heads of government
from the United States, France
and West Germany meeting in
London. We learn not only how
he laid his plans but we get the
simultaneous planning of cranks,
assassins and pickpocket gangs
w'ho see great opportunities in
the occasion. Along with this
problem Gideon is faced with a
baffling murder. The threads are
skillfully interwoven, and the
reader has a very satisfying dish.

T he beauty of a jewel comes
from the fact that it has many
facets. The light is reflected from
each of these facets, or surfaces,
at a different angle. If a diamond
were cut flat and
square like a tiny
window-pane it
would not be near
ly as beautiful as
it is. Now faith is
a jewel; and it
likewise has many
facets, or aspects,
and all the more
beautiful for this
Dr. Foreman reason. Like all
jewels, also, faith has many imi
tations.
Aeeapt no subotitufa
What are some of the imitation
faiths being offered the public
today? One variety of “paste” or
imitation faith, is faith without an
object,—not faith in anything or
any one, just “plain faith.” This
may even be a circular faith, faith
in faith. This is not worth a dime,
it is the most perishable of all the
imitations. Another substitute is
credulity,—the habit of believing
anything and everything, believ
ing whatever any one asks you to
believe. Of such faith suckers are
made. Another much-advertised
substitute is faith that goes against
facts, faith that believes the ob
viously and undeniably impossible
This is a very deceptive imitation,
because true faith does go beyond
what average cautious people call
“possible.” This imitation variety
prides itself on absurdity; the
more absurd the faith, the more
credit the believer claims! If I
believe that with God’s help 1 can
set aside more money than I ever
have done, for His cause and serv
ice, that is real faith. But if I
believe that after I have spent
every cent of my weekly income
I will have a ten-dollar bill left
to offer God or to use myself, that
is not true faith at all.
How faith koeps warm
True Christian faith, as has been
said before, is faitii about Christ,
faith in Christ and faith with
Christ. Now there are certain fea
tures or facets of this, to which
the Bible passages marked for
this week direct our eyes. One is
that it is easier to have faith when
others all around us are men and
women of faith, than when one is
all alone. A certain missionary
was in solitary confinement in
China, with no communication
permitted between him and any
other persons except the police
Friends and relatives of his in
America were praying for his re
lease. He also was praying for it
There was true faith in his heart
and in the hearts of his friends;
but it was harder for him than
for them, because they lived (com
paratively) in a climate of faith,
%vhereas he was in the midst ol
people who only derided his reli
gion.
Looking to Jesus
The writer of the letter to the
Hebrews says some strange and
unexpected things. Once in the
twelfth chapter he says “ . . look
ing to Jesus ...” Now we should
expect him to say, “looking to
Jesus, the object of our faith;’’
but he does not. Instead, he says
“looking to Jesus the pioneer and
perfecter of our faith.” In other
words Jesus is the one who begins
our faith and the one who com
pletes it. He is, in short, the model
for all men and women df faith.
This means that Christians should
study the gospels over and over
again, to learn the qualities, the
seeds and the secrets of the faith
which the Master held. With him,
faith had a new beginning; with
him, faith found its perfection.
Faiths disoiplina
Great poetry and trashy dog
gerel are both made of words;
but the great poems are not mere
jumbles of words and noises. They
are patterned; that is, the poet
cannot put down anything that
occurs to him. Some words fit,
others don’t. Some words ring like
bells, others clatter like squeaky
wheel-barrows. So it is with all
art. The artist must exercise con
trol. It is only very cheap “art’ j
that can be produced by throwing
words, or paint, on paper or can]
vas at random. How much mor;
this is true of the most diffict
art, of life itself! The writer to th(
Hebrews reminds us that withoi
discipline we never attain to
God-Uke life. God’s command]
may sometimes not agree with'
our own wishes; but to obey him
is the way of discipline, the way
marked out by faith, that leads to
the life that is life indeed.
