' Iships to the end. John Donne
eri tn ^le return-
ed to London from an unsuccess-
fuTexpedition to the Azores and
Cadiz with the Earl of Essex. Bril-
lant, ambitious, he yet had not
succeeded in obtaining any real
foothold at the Elizabethan court
Then through a kindness done
to Francis Woolley, a young com!
'voyage, Donne is
ntrc^uced to Sir Thomas Eger-
fon. Lord Keeper of the Seals. Sir
.Thomas likes him, makes Donne
(iis Secretary and the latteri
piospects look fine until he fal
m love with Anne More, a fa
ite niece of the Lord Keeper,
position is prompt and de
mined. They speak the sole:
vows of betrothal, are separa
for a time, then s^-etly man

ly. But t^l is the background
of the coil pageantry and in
trigues, alws fascinating, and
the ^imirl religious situation,
as Elizabetind then James tried
to make Etftnd thoroughly Pro
testant. Dale’s own position
was somevi|<t ambiguous, as he
had been iMught up a Catholic,
but Miss Vning makes clear that
John Donee’s searching mind
found its cvn way and that, in
the end, hi had a profound re
ligious expirience, enabling him
to write sermons that are still
read as classics. As a novel, this
hook is uneven in interest, but it
is faithful lo its subject.

Devotional Reading: Luke 1:46-55,
TESUS is the hero of the New
w Testament. Other characters
meet us in its pages, but no writer
in the New Testament takes an
interest in anyone else except as
they have some connection with
the life of Jesus himself. So Mary,
: his own mother,
appears in the Bi
ble not as Queen
of Heaven or the
Co-Redemptrix of
the world, but as
the simple, good
young woman who
was the wife of a
village carpenter
and the mother of
Dr. Foreman Jesus of Nazareth.
We should like to know more
about her than we do. She was
probably quite young, and also
probably not given what we would
call a higher education. Yet we
know that she was the woman to
whom God entrusted Jesus. The
church through most of its history
has believed that Joseph was not
the real father of Jesus; but the
church has never thought of deny
ing that Mary was his real mother,
Mary pondering
Mary was a remembering wom
an. She thought long about the
meaning of things—that is what
“pondered” means. She took time
for events to make their impres
sion on her mind. We know she
was a woman of poetic mind.
Most of the words attributed to
her are in poems, presumably
made up, perhaps on the spur of
the minute. She was familiar with
that great poetry collection and
hymn book of her people which
we know as the Book of Psalms.
She was a woman who loved those
Psalms and memorized them and
wove them into the fabric of her
own mind and memory. She re
membered the singing angels, and
the angel who first visited her,
and the coming of the Magi. She
remembers her son as a small
boy, and that ro*a’'’e tv!p to
—1 when he was 12 years
old. v-as not a woman to go
talking ali the time with her
neighbors. She did not wear her
heart on her sleeve. She was not
one to live only on the surface of
things. She was no doubt a busy
and often weary woman. But still
she had time to furnish an inner
chamber of the heart, a secret
world where the wonders of life
were cherished and re-lived.
Mary csmmaiiditig
Jesus as a boy was not given
special privileges except no doubt
those of any oldest son. One spe
cial privilege he did not have: he
was not allowed to disobey. We
read that he “was subject” to his
parents, that is, they directed him,
gave him commands. Perhaps the
burden of this fell o-- Mary, for
Joseph drops out of le picture
and is not heard from in the story
after that visit to Jerusalem. Mary
was what the poet describes, “A
perfect woman, nobly planned. To
warn, to comfort and command.’'
In the story John tells of the
wedding at Cana, we hear Mary
commanding the servants to do
whatever her son directed. This
was a turning-point in her life,
perhaps. At any rate, somewhere
along the road Mary knew the mo
ment which comes to every moth
er, no matter how loving and
good, when she has to let go her
control, when her child looks at
her with level eyes, the child no
longer a boy, a youth, but a man.
Mary praying
The last picture we have of
in the New Testament story
IS in a prayer meeting. It was in
an “upper room,” perhaps the
very room in which Jesus, six
weeks before, had held the Last
Supper on the night in which he
was betrayed. If you can imagine
what that must have meant to
Mary s imaginative mind, you may
well suppose that Mary was pray
ing as never before. Yet no person
ever comes suddenly to a deep
prayer life. We may well be sure
that Mary had been a woman of
prayer through the years. This is
important; but even more im
portant is the effect on the grow
ing child Jesus. If he was a rcc'.
person, and Mary a real mothe;-
we can be sure he learned abev
prayer first where most of us learn
it, at our mother’s knees. The man
Jesus knew more of life, its joys
riddles and agonies, than the child
Jesus. But the faith he breathed
in by his mother’s side would last
till his dying hour.
