THE COMPLETE CAT BOOK
by Richard C. Smith (Walker
$4.95). Anyone who lives with a
cat may disagree with this author
on some minor point, for cats are
highly individual creatures and
not easily disposed of by general
izations. However, Richard
Smith’s experience with practical
problems, his respect for the spe
cies and delighted awareness of
feline charms make this a val
uable book and, as one critic puts
it. “purrfectly delightful read
ing.”
The owner or would-be owner
of a pet cat may be assured that
here is adequate information on
selection, care and breeding. For
the ambitious, there is a chapter
on cat shows; for the worrier, one
on cat ailments and what to do
until the doctor comes. There are
also suggestions on diet—my cat
says he is too fussy about that
milk.
But this book will be valued
more for its range and variety.
Beginning with prehistoric times
when “two great cats roamed the
earth,” we see one of these evol
ve into the sabretooth tiger. Cats,
as we know them, first appeared
in Egypt as rat catchers, later
being promoted to divine sta
tus. Herodotus described the tem
ple of the cat goddess. Bast, as
the finest in Egypt. Other fasci
nating historical bits include the
story about Mohammed cutting
off the sleeve of his robe rather
than disturb the cat lying on it.
Yet all times were not good for
cats. Probably the worst time
was the Middle Ages when they
were feared and persecuted as
the familiars of witches and in
carnations of Satan. The descrip
tion of a ritual of cat sacrifice
conducted on the Isle of Mull is a
hair raiser.
Much more pleasant reading
are the chapters on artists and
cats, writers and cats. The latter
seem to find cats especially sym
pathetic, and tribute abound from
Dr. Johnson to Colette. Some
poets get really fulsome—I be
lieve any proper cat would think
Southern Pines congregation.
A series of 22 conventions
around the world, with some 550
delegates from the United States
and Canada attending, will fol
low the New York gathering, all
i to take place within 60 days.

Baudelaire and Swinburne rather
overdid it. But surely they would
approve of the miner’s cat de
scribed by Mark Twain who
wouldn’t let even the Gov’ner of
Californy get familiar with him”
and quite agree with Mark
Twain’s remark that “A home
without a cat, and a well-fed,
well-petted and properly revered
cat, may be a perfect home per
haps, but how can it prove its
title?”
ELIZABETH APPLETON by
John O'Hara (Random House
$4.95|). The scene of O’Hara’s new
book is a small college town.
Spring Valley, Pennsylvania. As
the novel opens, Elizabeth Ap
pleton, wife of a history profes
sor, John Appleton, is waiting for
her sister Jean to arrive from
Reno where she has just divorced
her second husband.
The Appleton are also awaiting
an imminent decision on the
choice of a new president for
Spring Valley College. John is a
possibility for the job. His feel
ings about it are mixed, but his
wife is very eager for him to get
the appointment.
In a series of flashbacks, the
author reveals Eli25abeth’s back
ground of a socially prominent
family private finishing school,
and independent income from her
mother and shows how she has
developed into the devoted wife
of a professor in a small college.
However, it is in the account of
her one affair with a man she
really loves that the depths of
her character are revealed.
The climax of the book comes
with the trustees’ appointment
of the new president of the col
lege and the effect of this on the
lives of the Appletons.
Whether you are an O’Hara fan
or not (and this is not another
“Butterfield 8”), you cannot help
but like this well told story of a
woman of charm and fire.

MRS. G. B. S.—A Portrait by
Janet Dunbar (Harper Sc Row
$5.95). Books about George Ber
nard Shaw abound and, of course,
Mrs. G.B.S. is in them though
sometimes getting less space than
Ellen Terry or Mrs. Patrick
Campbell. What sort of woman
was she? And how did she come
to marry the elusive mercurial
Shaw? and stay married to him
lor forty years?
This book gives you a full
length portrait of a remarkable
woman. The first half shows
Charlotte Payne - Townshend
growing up in Ireland, devoted to
her gentle, scholarly father, man
aged by her socially ambitious
mother. Appalled by dissensions
in her own home, she acquired an
aversion to marriage. She liked
men, cultivated men friends but
did not want to be bound.
She was thirty-seven when she
met at the home of her Fabian
friends, the Webbs, George Ber
nard Shaw who was just as de
termined as she was to maintain
independence. The two were at
tracted, found talking, walking,
doing things together delightful,
but, of course, each must remain
free. A fascinating struggle went
on for more than two years. The
marriage that followed was also
more complicated than usual.
Documenting her story from the
letters and diaries of participants
and onlookers, Janet Dunbar has
told it well and made a vivid
personality of a woman whose
chosen role it was to stay in the
background.
PRINCE BERTRAM THE BAD.
Story and pictures by Arnold Lo
be! (Harper Sc Row $2.95). Once
upon a time a prince was born
who made trouble from his first
yell. He yanked up flowers,
broke his toys, put spiders in the
soup, shot at the king’s subejets
with his peashooter. Children
will chortle gleefully over his
naughty deeds as pictured.
One day Bertram took his pea
shooter and shot a big, black
bird, but the bird turned out to
be a witch. The witch was angry
and turned the prince into a
small dragon. People just laughed
and laughed at him until the mis
erable Bertram couldn’t stand it
and ran away from home.
He had some scary adventures
and got ever so lonesome. Event
ually he reformed and came back
to be a good prince. It is a very
moral, tale and has a comfortable
ending.
Law of the Lord
Lesson for June 2, 1963
Bible Material: Nehemiah 8: Psaima
19; 119.
Devotional Readlsf: Psalm 119:9-16
IF YOU believe in God at all,
there are only about three ways
in which you can think of God’s
laws. One is to think that God ;
may have a law for Himself or
for angels, but not for us human ,
beings He depends on us to 6nd
the right trails by
instinct, He trusts
us to the extent
that He win not
dictate to us. He
will not intrude
upon our freedom.
This is not the Bi
ble’s way of look
ing at it. God,
knows us too well.
Dr. Foreman vTe are His chil
dren, to be sure, and just as par
ent’s who may not try to “run”
their neighbors’ children may
have good rules for their own, so
God would be a poor Father if
He actually did not care what His
human children do.
The handwriting of Qod
But among those who believe
that God does require obedience
of men, there is a difference of
opinion. Some think that right and
wrong are like the rules of a
game, they can be changed at
will. Children often do this. They
will play with chess-men but they
will move the pieces in ways that
the rules forbid. There was a lit
tle girl once who was the pest of
the neighborhood. She was always
asking people to play some game
or other with her, but whenever
she found herself being beaten
she would suddenly change the
rules of the game No one could
ever win a game from her, be
cause if everything else tailed she
would kick over the card table
God is not like that little girl,
making rule.s for no reason to
speak of except that He wants to
have His own way
The Bible knows of no such
crazy, selhsh God Right is not
right merelv because He com
niands it; He commands it be
cause it is right His laws are not
arbitrary rules that can be ebang
ed any time He pleases They are
the pattern of the universe. A
carpenter knows the difference be
tween cutting with the grain and
against it. God’s laws are just the
grain of the universe. His uni
verse. His laws are expressed in
the way He made it. The hand
writing of God is to be seen not
in some mysterious secret docu
ment but in the laws of mathe
matics, of science, and of human
life. They are written in the rea
son and justice of all good human
laws, they are written in the con
science of all men with a spark
of goodness in them.
Rajoicing in the law of God
The poet who wrote the longest
Psalm, the longest chapter in the
Bible, wrote it about God’s law.
That psalm (Psalm 119) has 176
verses and only two or three (ail
to speak of the law, perhaps using
various other words meaning the
same thing, such as ordinances,
commands, statutes and the Uke.
But this longest psalm not only
speaks of the divine law, which
for him was summed up in the
laws of Moses, it sings of the law.
This is a poem of joy. The laws of
God are felt to be, not a fence to
shut us out from happiness, not
a grim discipline like an obstacle
course in a training camp for
soldiers, but of ap expression of
the will of the God who wants
only the best for His creatures.
Years ago Walter Lippmann put
the matter quite simply: Morality
—he said—is nothing to crush vi
tality; morality is Vhat vitality
would choose if it knew what it'
was doing. Put that into Christian
terms: Right thought and action
is what human beings would
choose if we knew what we are
doing. God’s laws are not chains,
they are wings. The law of God
is the will of God.
Laws (or body and mind
People wonder sometimes why
the church is so interested (for
example) in the liquor business,
why in fact many churches simply
make it a rule: No drinking 1
Christians who stop short of total
abstinence speak much of tem
perance. And this not only in al
cohol but in aU things. A life of
excess,—excess of emotions, of
eating or drinking, yes too much
work or sleep or play — an un
balanced life, this the Christian
church knows to be harmful. The
church hangs out warning-signs
along here not to destroy innocent
pleasures but because, as Christ's
voice and hands on this earth, the
church is concerned to see that
life,-—of the body, the mind and
the spirit—does not weaken itself
by disobeying the laws of life
which God Himself has made.
