THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1962 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page THREE Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER SUNKEN TREASURE hr Pierre de Lalil and Jean Rivoire (Hill & Wang $5.95). Lloyds Of London, preeminent in maritime insurance, have hanging in their main office in London a bronze bell. It was hung there nearly a hundred years ago to be “joyfully rung on the return to port of ships that were thought lost.” An inscription tells you that this is the bell of H B M Ship Lutine sunk off the Dutch coast October 9, 1799, with a large amount of specie on board, all hands lost ex cept one man. The authors of this book have estimated the treasure of the Lu tine at 1,175,000 English pounds— of which about one tenth has been recovered. You can trust these estimates as conservative, since the authors hold that the facts about sunken treasure are suffi ciently thrilling that there is no need to resort to “flashy journal ism” to stir the imagination of the reader. They present carefully documented cases of great quan tities of gold and silver now lying at the bottom of the sea crusted over with coral or sinking ever deeper into the sands; they tell of great adventures risking fortunes and lives in the effort to recover these treasures. The tales range from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, and from the Spanish Main to the coasts of Eu rope, Africa, New Zealand. Earliest and most illustrious of treasure hunters was Sir William Phipps, then just an unknown young Yankee. Growing up on the coast of Maine, working in a naval yard, he heard many tales of the British and French pirates who harried the Spanish galleons as they came back from the New World with the cargoes of gold and silver that are estimated to have increased Europe’s stock fourfold in the century following the discovery of America.

Soulhern Pines he set out for London to get back ing for a project to salvage one of the most famous wrecks. For nearly a year he knocked on doors, took rebuffs, sold his own ship to keep going. Finally he got the King’s commission to seek the treasure and was given command of one of his frigates. Two years of strenuous searching brought no treasure. Returning to London, neither the King nor the Admir alty was interested in a second trial. But Phipps would not quit, and finally the Duke of Albe marle backed him in a second search which ended triumphantly when Phipps returned to London with twenty-six tons of gold and silver. 'The ships of William Phipps were sailing ships at the mercy of storms, armed against pirates, his divers were naked Indians. But even today with ingenious diving apparatus, electronic de vices to locate wrecks and mighty machines to pump sand from the buried ships, recovery of treasure means the risk of lives and for tunes. If you doubt it, read the account of the four campaigns to recover th.e treasure of the EGYPT sunk off the Breton coast in 1922 with a cargo insured for a million sovereigns. This is one of a dozen tales well told by the authors and illustrated with dia grams, maps and photographs. TOO LONG IN THE WEST by Balachandra Rajan (Athenetiih $4.50). This novel is uncommon ly pleasant reading. The author’s sense of the comic never deserts him even though he is playing with ideas that have led many people to gloom or indignation. He knows both East and West so well that he can find delicious absurdities in both, not only in their contrasts but in their mix ture in today’s India. The young and attractive hero ine, Nalini, is returning to south India after three years at Colum bia University. Nalina had en joyed New York and her Ameri can friends but is happy to come back to her family, to India and especially to Mudalur—^popula tion 299, not on the map, reached by bullock cart. Here her father, learned, impractical, spends his vacations from the university, running and largely supporting the village. Valery does not know that her parents, uneasy that she may have been “too long in the West,” have decided that she must now marry promptly. They have advertised for a husband, a cus tom not uncommon in India. As the suitors gather, you get a va ried collection of young Indians. Nalini, always amiable, starts in terviewing them; a young Ameri can with an anti-malaria program appears; a storm destroys the bridge back to civilization; and other events pile up to an ex citing climax and a most unex- 'WE LIKE TO THINK ...

Conrad Richter has won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award but never made the best seller list. His quiet, beautifully written books celebrate the best in America both as to character and back ground. This one is the story of a Lutheran minister. Since the au thor’s father and grandfather were ministers, it is not surpris ing that we get a notably human and convincing picture of the gen esis and development of a dedi cated preacher and shepherd of his people. Harry Donner was forty and a reasonably successful storekeep er in a country town when his call to the ministry came. His wile accepted the change cheer fully. In fact she found their first move to the town where Harry Donner was to study theol ogy in the seminary quite exhil arating with the exposure to new ideas and new people. “The pleas antest years of my life,” she wrote her sister. But all the future was not to be so smooth. Harry Donner did not believe in “the ministry of ease.” He elected to serve the poor mountain people of eastern Pennsylvania. More concerned with the spirit of the Gospel than the letter, he would say a prayer for a dying Catholic as readily as for an orthodox Lutheran, he found a successful common law marriage more blessed than a loveless one sanctioned by church and law. Such tenets brought on him bitter criticism from “the unco guid.” He stuck to his con victions; he refused a call to a rich city parish. Needless to say he died poor, but loved and hon ored by those who knew him. At a time when novelists seem striving to outdo each other in depicting the mor.s sensational aspects of sex and sin, it is re freshing to have this sober and beautiful story of a good man.

Devotional Reading: 1 Thessaioiiians 5:12-24 Tests of Faith Lesson for May 27, 1962 LJ OW do we know when a per- ^ * son’s faith is genuine? “We” means human beings,—such as other Christians. We don’t know this as God knows it. He looks on the heart, as we cannot. God knows every one’s faith as he knows aU things, direct ly. But there is a great deal that we human beings know only indi rectly, such as the state of an other person’s mind and the sin- Dr. Foreman cerityof another’s motives. It is not, after all, other people’s faith that most concerns us. What about our own? Do we really have faith or do we only think we have? Some people (like bishops, pas tors, elders, parents) do have the great responsibility of deciding in all humility, whether the al leged faith (for example) of can didates for membership in the church or candidates for baptism, is what it is claimed to be. (To judge from the present state of Christ’s church, some errors of judgment at this point seem to have been made. Probably not enough testing has been done.) lust a walk “By their fruits ye shall know them,” Jesus said. God does not need to wait till the fruit ripens to see what the tree will produce: but we do. Paul gives us (in Gal 5) a list of “fruits of the spirit.’’ The Apostle John had his own w’ay of expressing things. He would take a simple word and make it hold many meanings. One overall test which he proposed really says the same things Paul and Jesus said, in other words. John’s tes^ was this: -How does this person walk? He uses “walk” in the OV Testament sense, the one-thing after-another-ness, the every-da,-’ nes.s of living. Life can be likene to a race or to a fight: but m., 'f the time it is just a walk ' exciting, not dramatic. Just a lit tle tedious, monotonous and slow. Many a man waits in vain for a great crisis in which he can prove himself a hero. But most lives don’t operate by crises, they are pretty dull, when you come right down to it. John makes the point that it is just this everyday walk ing that is the test of the reality of faith. Walking in light How do you walk, then? John speaks more than once of “walk ing in light.” Cockroaches and jackals walk in darkness. Deer and humming-birds move by day light. Walking in light means liv ing with your shades up and your windows clean. It means living so that you wUl have no skeletons to hide in closets. It means a life “like an open book,” clean paper and clear type. It means you could die on the street the next time you go to the super-market, and not worry about what people would find in the house after you are gone. Walking in light means be ing what you seem to be. Walking in light also means in God’s light, keeping close to him, remember ing him in love and a thankful heart. It means steering your boat by the great lighthouse and not by the little lights on the fishing- boats. It means living in joy and hope, not in gloom and despair. The way He walked John has another way of putting this. Any one who claims "to be “abiding in Christ” is using lan guage that was dear to Christ and to his friend and apostle John. But the test of faith is not the beautiful language that can be u.sed about it. 'The claim is a good claim; but how do you test it? You can’t see a person abiding in Christ. We have his word for it, yes, but how do we know he is sincere? John has the answer in words of one syllable: One who claims to be abiding in Him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked. This means nothing of course, to one who knows noth ing of how our Lord lived on earth This calls for ever-fresh, ever- renewed, ever-renewing study ol the Gospel records. There are those who say it makes little dif ierence what manner of man Je bus was. John could not agree :o that. It is of vital Importance to know as much as we can of :;ow Jesus met life, how he worked, aught, helped,—how be met trial and terrors, how he faced triumph and tragedy, friends, enemies and fiually death. The simplest test oi faith is; Does it produce a life tcminding us of Jesus? :3aie4 on oatllnoo oopyrlflited b« :>ie Division of Christian Edneatlon. %'atlonal Oonnotl of tho Charohoo of Ohrlsl In kho C. 9.
