4 4 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1964 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Page THREE Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER A COFFIN FOR KING CHARLES; The Trial and Exe cution of Charles I by C. V. Wedgwood (Macmillan $5>95l}. Approval from her colleagues as a sound historian and praise from the critics for her prose style are nothing new for Miss Wedgwood, but in this book she manages something exceptional. Long-past events become so vivid that the reader finds him self living through that bitter cold winter in an anxious and deeply disturbed city, following the build-up of plot and counter plot and hanging on the outcome as in a typical “novel of sus pense.” Incidentally the length of the narrative, 262 pages minus the notes, is about the same as the usual suspense novel, which adds to the dramatic impact. Still, the author finds oppor tunity to place the event in its Complete line of GROCERIES FISH OYSTERS Seaford's Market 110 N.

Kings have been deposed before and later murdered as quietly as pos sible. Never before had “the rage of Rebels extended so far as to bring their Sovereign lord to public trial and execution, it be ing contrary to the law of Na ture, the custom of Nations and the sacred Scriptures.” That is quoting a Royalist pamphlet of the time but it really gives the gist of the matter and explains why the outcome of the affair was long in doubt. The rebels were pious men, Cromwell being typical of many. They had to act with the convic tion that God was on their side. They were also respectable land- owners, professional and business men, who wanted to believe the law was on their side and that was very doubtful. When the Commissioners were being chos en for the High Court of Justice to try King Charles, man after man refused to serve, including the two Chief Justices and Sii Henry Vane who had led the op position to Charles in the House of Commons. Legal precedent was so lacking that when King Charles challenged them to say b.v what authority he was brought before the Court, they could only talk about the will of the people and that argument had two weaknesses; one, there was no precedent, no law to be quoted: two, everyone knew that the powers that forced the trial represented the Army—even the Levellers said so. The author is no champion of the cause of Charles I but she makes clear the radical nature of the principles involved. She also makes clear the confusion in the minds of many, the eager follow ing of news in the popular press that was .iust developing and the mixed motives of some who par ticipated in the events. It is a stirring story; even though the stage seems at times crowded with too many characters, the force of the narrative sweeps you along to the climax that shocked the nation and had repercussions all over Europe.

Greene, (Doubleday $9.95). The history, lore, hunting characteristics and training of the forty-four breeds of American hunting dogs are de scribed with authority and eri- thusiasm by Jeff Griffen in his new book. Griffen says that he has been around hunting dogs aU his life. He has hunted throughout the country and at various times has owned English Setters, Beagles, Foxhounds and Coonhounds. At his home in White Plains, New York, he maintains on an ama teur basis, a kennel of Pointers which he hunts and runs in field trials. He frequently .iudges bird-dog field trials and reports for “The American Field.” Section I of the book describes in detail the hunting capabilities of each breed and gives the his tory of its development, how and why it evolved. The author gives little known facts about the changes in individual breeds since their importation to Amer ica and tells how European breeds have been crossed to de velop a new breed which better suits American needs. For ex ample, Salukis, Borzois and Irish Wolfhounds were cross-bred to produce a coursing hound that will charge a coyote with great speed. Section II gives practical infor mation on the care of the puppy and the mature dog, gives tips on how to buy a dog and ex plains proven training methods. The book is illustrated with 126 photographs and with 44 draw ings by Raymond S. Pease. THE SOUTHERN MYSTIQUE by Howard. Zinn (Knopf $4.95). Many books are being written about the Negro in America to day, some full of facts and fig ures, some mere exhortations, some reasonable, some angry. This one stands out for its opti mism.

G. Inman, 1:50-2 thing mysterious, innate, ineradi cable. He bases his belief on two things: one is recent experiments in human behavior and conclu sions reached by modern social psychologists; the second is his own experience in Atlanta, Georgia, 1956-63 where he saw individuals living together in a university situation lose race consciousness and watched a community of the deep South ac cept desegregation of buses, res taurants, recreation centers etc. reluctantly but without violence. Not that Mr. Zinn believes it always happens that way. He saw both violence and police brutality in south Georgia. The difference, he says was not in the behavior of the Negroes or their leaders, but in the quality of the white leadership—the political, business and religious leaders. He gives verbatim reports to show the difference. He also makes the statement that “in 90 per cent of the places where desegregation had already taken place in the South though .you would never guess it from reading newspaper headlines) there had been no violent reac tion at all, only quiet if grudg ing acceptance.” Finally, he points out that there is a great difference be tween desegregation and integra tion, that we have a long way to go before people are truly met and treated on personal merits, regardless of skin color, and this holds for both North and South. He recognizes fully that the law cannot change the hearts of men, that one cannot legislate mutual understanding, but the government can set situations that make normal contacts pos sible, take down the bars and signs that emphasize the stigma at every turn. Recognizing the efforts of the Federal government in this field, he makes a plea for government to pursue the policy more vigorously.

Devotional Reading: Ephesians 4:11-16. A MBITION is no sin. Pro vided—! Provided the ambi tious man is not just scheming for himself. Provided the man has the qualifications and does not fool himself into believing he amounts to more than he does. Provided also that he can serve God better if his ambition is fulfilled. Now the posi tion of an over seer in any line of work is a highly respon sible one. The title makes no Dr. Foreman great difference; it may be foreman, manager, su pervisor, colonel, bishop. The top man in the outfit, that’s what we mean,—the man who not only has his own work to do but has to supervise and direct the work of others also. In the church such a man is called a Bishop. He may be given different names, such as Executive Secretary, or Moder ator, or just Overseer; churches that don’t like to use the Bible word Bishop have leaders all the < same. And we have it from Saint Paul himself that it is no sin to , be ambitious to be a Bishop. No lover of money By the time the letters to Tim othy and Titus were written, years had gone by since Pentecost. It looked as if Christ were not •Mm- ing back right away, and the church might have to last for a long, long time. It was time to get organized. This called for leader ship. The old apostles were dead or dying off, and the church hod grown so that they could not have handled it alone even if they had all come back to life. Officers were reeded, more and more. Paul la> down the qualifications for churc. offices in these “pastoral” c"!- church were chosen soon after the first Pentecost the leading quali fication mentioned was being filled with the Spirit (see Acts 6). But in th@se pages of Paul on church offices not a word is said about the Spirit. Why is this? One reasonably good guess is that the church had found that not all spiritual men or women make good leaders. Sensible and dignified Almost every quality Paul men tions is an everyday common- sense one. He is planning for a church that will live and grow in a highly practical world, a church with its feet on the ground. Such a church does not need a poor innocent lamb for a leader. It does not need an egg-head nor a lazy dreamer. How solid (hardly inspiring!) the phrases are- above reproach, temperate, sensi ble, dignified. . . . Most of us know people who are bright enough, but they never seem to hold jobs very long nor to make many friends, *just because for all their brilliance they don’t make sense. A bishop who is long on prayer and short on sense does not make a good bishop. (The same goes for any church officer.) A bishop must be dignified. Trivial? Not at all. Some things that are no sin when other people do them, are sins for a bishop. It was not a sin for a smali boy to shinny up the piliars in front of a church; but if the preacher or the bishop did that, what would we all think? Gifted man wanted When Paul wrote to the Corin thians he spoke about spiritual gifts, and some of these we should call miraculous; but in this letter there is not a line about miracles. What must a bishop be able to do? Not turn stones into bread nor water into wine. Very simple things: for example to teach, and to manage those whom he loves. To teach and to manage; it would sound more romantic to say “to speak in tongues and to cast out demons.” But good teachers and good managers are the kind that make good bishops. For after all, an overseer or supervisor of men must know men; he must know how to teach men, he must love them and at the same time know how to manage them.
