Some Looks
At Books
By LOCKIE PARKER
SOLDIER AND BRAVE; In-
dian and Military Aitfaixs in ^
Trans-Mississippi West, Indxiding
a Guide to .Historic Sites and
Landmarks by the National Park
Service (Harper $6.50). This
handsome volume is the first in a
series projected by the National
Park Service on our historic sites i
“whose purposes are to evahiate
places important in United States
History and prehistory, to pre
sent a record of them, and to en
courage their preservation.” The
books are being prepared by the
historians and archaeologists of
the National Park Service.
No one interested in the his
tory of the American Indians will
want to miss this one, and travel
lers going West will find it a
good book to take along. The first
hundred pages give us a con
densed account of Indian affairs
from the 1830’s, when United
States policy was to move all In
dians west of the Mississippi and
establish a “Permanent Indian
Frontier,” to the Battle of
Wounded Knee in 1890 when the
Sioux under Chief Big Foot were
defeated in a hard-fought battle
and all organized resistance to
the white man’s domination Of
the land clear to the Pacific
Ocean ceased. The account does
not minimize the ruthlessness
with which the westward push
ing pioneers took over Indian
lands, the treaties broken by
both sides nor the savagery Of
the fighting. But there are fine
tales of courage, too, for there
were great fighters on both sides.
The next section of the book
describes the historic sites Of
this era now in the National Park
System and has some handsome
Parker Oil Company
nl5tf
photographs of them. There are
eight of these ranging from the
Whitman Mission in Washington
to Canyon de Chelly in Arizona.
Following this, another section
gives twenty-one sites “eligible
for the registry of National His
toric Landmarks.” These include
trading posts, forts, missions and
such monuments as the Creek Na
tional Capitol in Oklahoma, now
a museum of Creek history. Final
ly there is an annotated list of
more than a hundred sites of his
toric interest but not deemed im
portant enough to receive the
designation mentioned above.
Obviously the book will be of
special interest to historians, stu
dents and archaeologists, but the
ordinary tourist with a citizen’s
interest in American history
should find his travels made
richer and more meaningful by
such a book. We look forward to
the later volumes.
PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST
WITH 26 HORSES by William
Eastlake (Simon & Schuster
$3.95).A more intimate view of
the Indian is given in this novel
written by a man who handles
the language like a robust poet
and who knows and admires
much in the Indian character.
The scene is contemporary New
Mexico. Twenty-six Horses is a
Navajo artist, and we see him
through the eyes of his close
friend and companion, Ring Bow
man, son of the white trader.
A singular intensity is lent to the
narrative of their shared adven
tures by the frame. Ring Bow
man is caught in a quicksand as
he tries to cross a river at the bot
tom of a canyon that his black
horse has refused to cross. When
Ring gets down and tries to pull
the horse along, the rein breaks
and Ring finds himself slowly
sinking.
In the long, slow hours when
he is going down inch by inch.
Ring thinks about Twenty-six
Horses and his family, about the
old medicine man the two of
them had helped to reach his
final home at the top of the
mountain, about fights and lov
ers, white men and red, the pic
tures painted by Twenty-six
Horses and what they mean.
It is a book that is both tough
and tender, with a robust humor
and a lyrical love of the land.
There is a genuine respect for the
vanishing values of Indian cul-

A PRIVILEGED CHARACTER
by Jean Laborde (Doubleday
$4.50(). While labeled “a novel of
suspense,” this novel has a psy
chological problem of a depth
and poignancy unusual in this
genre and depends less on the
elements of dramatic pursuit, es
cape and tracking the criminal.
Pierre Montaud, a lawyer of
some distinction, has just been
acquitted of murdering Olivier
Lacat after a long and tedious
prosecution. He is acquitted be
cause the evidence, though formi
dable, is insufficient. He comes
out embittered after months of
imprisonment. He is welcomed
with warmth and affection by his
wife, his secretary, his best friend
but gradually finds that they be
lieve that he did murder Lacat in
a moment of insanity; others just
consider that he was clever
enough to get off.
Montaud sets out to prove his
innocence by finding the real
murderer. No one encourages him
—better leave it alone, say
friends, colleagues, the Police
Commissioner. When he discov
ers that there are lapses in his
memory of the crucial evening, he
faces the agonizing possibility
that he may have done it. This
makes him more passionately de
termined to find the truth. Alone,
almost despairing, he finally
comes on the clue that leads to a
solution, a very surprising one.

Image of God
Lesson for July 14, 1963
Bible Material; Genesis 1 and 2
Devotional Reading: Psalm 8.
^ OD created man in His own
image, in His own likeness.
That is the declaration of Genesis,
in the very first chapter of the
Bible. It is such an astonishing
statement that many, even Chris
tians, have been unable to be
lieve it. There is
no space here to
tell of the ways
in which this
great declaration
has been made to
appear to say
something else
but what it does
say, namely that
God and man have
Dr. Foreman a common like
ness, a resemblance. This does
not mean that man is an exact
reproduction of God on a small
scale. It does mean, taken at face
value, that man resembles God
in ways that no other creatures
do.
What happened to God’s Ima'^o?
Someone will ask: But what
about sin? Was there any tiling
left of the image of God after
mankind fell into sin? Here Chris
tians, and even churches, have
long differed. Some say: The im
age is there, clear as ever. Others
say: The image (resemblance ta
God) has been totally destroyed
by sin. There is a third view in
between these, which is held by
many churches, and which seems
to this writer to he closest to the
Bible and to facts of experience.
That is, the image of God has
been marred and defaced, but it
is stiU there. This view of the mat
ter is expressed in an old gospel
song: “Down in the human heart,
crushed by the tempter. Feelings
lie buried that Grace can re
store.”
Like God in mind
One way in which we are a kind
of likeness of God is in our minds.
A great scientist of a past century
spoke of his discoveries as “f’lnk-
ing God’s thoughts after him,”
T e mind of God p'anned this uni-
vr se; and if our minds were ao-
so Litely unli'-e His, we could no
rnoie app'-e- ti'-' universe, we
could no more discover its laws,
than a turtle can. So far as we
know how the world is made, so
far as we discover the properties
of new elements and materials,
we are thinking after God the
thoughts He had in creation. Had
you ever stopped to think what a
dull world this would he if we had
to look at it from a turtle’s eyes
and a turtle’s brain? If you have
any sense you would not exchange
places with the most intelligent
horse or dog that ever Uved, be
cause in doing so you would lose
your most precious possession
next to life itself: your human
mind.
The voice of conscience
John Calvin, a famous theolo
gian who could be very plain when
he tried, gave us a helpful hint
about the image of God. It means
aU those qualities in man, he said,
which mark us off from other ani
mals. Now one of these qualities
is what we call Conscience. This
is a word for the ability which hu
man beings have, to look at things
and actions not only as pleasant
or unpleasant, legal or illegal, ap
proved or disapproved, but as
RIGHT or WRONG. Nature—birds
and bees and tigers and buzzards
—does not know anything about
right and wrong. Nature-creatures
do what comes naturally, they
know nothing else, because they
do not bear the image of God. But
man’s ability to be aware o6 right
and wrong,—and not only that, but
to stand for the right even if he
suffers and dies for it—this is part
of what his likeness to God means.
The Icvc cf beauty
Again, one thing that sets us off
from other creatures and marks
a resemblance to God, is some
thing often forgotten: namely the
joy we have in what is beautiful.
Animals are sensitive to simple
beauties such as color; but you
never saw a dog that would leave
his bone to look at a sunset, nor
a cat that would eat more happily
if a bowl of violets were put down
by her cat-food. It is only human
beings who want flowers on the
table, or who wUl rise from a
meal to look at a sunset. God
made the world beautiful, and it
was beautiful long before men
lived on this planet. But now
whenever beauty touches our
hearts, whenever we thriU to
beauty in nature or in art, we are
sharing the joy of God. The reader
is invited to think this out farther;
these that have been mentioned
are not the only ways in which we
bear the image of God. We can
come to Him, not as to a stranger!
