Born in 1729, the daughter of a petty German princeling, Sophia Augusta Fred- ericka was to become Empress of Russia and be remembered in history as Catherine the Great. Moreover she was to achieve this largely by her own abilities, character and unyielding deter mination. True, circumstances gave her a start. Her mother, Johanna Eliz abeth, though poor, was of a family with distinguished con nections and it was through these connections that Sophia come to be considered as a pos sible bride for Peter Ulrich, only grandson of Peter the Great and probably heir to his throne. The person who would pick Peter’s bride was his aunt, the Empress Elizabeth.

MAYTAG Sales & Service Parker Oil Co. tfn ABERDEEN with the royal houses of France and Prussia, but these had come to nothing because, in the words of the author, “the degenerate little prince, heir to a proble matical throne and destined at best to rule over a barbarous na tion, was not a good enough match. In 1744 the Empress sent word that the Princess Johanna Elizabeth should bring her daughter to Russia and they would see. Sophia was fourteen and thrill ed at the prospect. Three years before she had met Peter and guessed at the schemes of her elders. In her memoirs she says that even then “child as I was the title of queen caressed my ears.” Even had she suspected the ordeals that awaited her she would probably not have turned back—she was that kind of girl and she knew what she wanted. These ordeals were to be seri ous, ranging from physical dis comforts to acute personal hu miliations. There were times when she was heaped with favors by the Empress and others when she was publicly scorned and, worse still, neglected. Her mar riage, as might have been expect ed, gave her no comfort at all and she was only able to accomplish the essential business of produc ing an heir by taking a lover. Once the heir was there, every one, even her lover, neglected her. But nothing ever quite downed Sophia, or Catherine as she was rechristened when re ceived into the Orthodox Church on the eve of her betrothal. She might go into seclusion for a period but even then she was busy — reading, thinking, plan ning. And she lived to reign over Russia for thirty-odd years and to do it well, carrying forward the work of Peter the Great who wanted to make it a modern Western power. In her preface, Zoe Oldenbourg says that she will “make no at tempt to cover the whole of Cath erine II’s long and brilliant reign, complete with wars, social up heavals. . . It is the woman more than the Empress I aim to show, and especially the shaping and maturing of the future empress.’ This is just what she has done. 19 Appointed To Industry Group The Moore County commission ers on Monday appointed 19 men to membership on the Moore County Industrial Committee, retroactive to December 7.

FOREMAN Look-Alikes Lesson for February 7, 1965 THE VISITQRS by Nathaniel Benchley . (McGraw-Hill . $4.95). This tale of a haunted house in New England is appropriately in troduced with a jacket drawing by Charles Addams, amusingly macabre. It shows the old Twit- chell house, its ghosts, and the unsuspecting Powells who rented it one spring day because it was such a bargain and had such a fine view of the sea. In June they moved into the house with their fifteen-year-old son and the fun bgan. Crockery is inexplicably smashed. Kathryn Powell is sure that her teen-age son is responsible; her husband, more open-minded and an editor by trade, goes to the library and looks up poltergeists. He finds the librarian cooperative and ex pecting him. So he learns from one source and another that the house has an evil reputation and most local people keep well away. Later the helpful librarian tells him in detail of two mur ders committed on the place and the bones buried there. ’Then masterful Uncle George arrives and the ghosts really find him a challenge and show what they can do. The reader gets good entertainment along with an element of suspense.

PRINCE CONSaRT: A Biography of the Husband of Queen Victoria by Hector Bolitho (Bobbs, Merrill $4.95). After reading Lady Longford’s very personal account of Queen Vic toria’s life, it is interesting to compare this well informed and well written biography of Albert, the Prince Consort. It is a shorter book; it is a shorter life—Prince Albert was forty-two when he died—and Victoria would reign for another forty years. Yet Al bert would continue to be not only the great love of her life but a major influence on her char acter and her conduct of govern ment. And what sort of man was he? Hector Bolitho wrote a biography of Albert thirty years ago but says that in view of new material that has become available and changes in his own opinions he has completely rewritten the book. He gives us a convincing and sympathetic portrait of a serious youth fond of the milder sports, already developing a taste for the arts and with a strong sense of duty. The marriage with Victoria was the scheme of Uncle Leopold, King of the Belgians, and he managed the affair very tactfully. A few months before Victoria came to the throne, Al bert and his brother visited Eng land, and Victoria found them “most delightful young people” and Albert very handsome. Yet when she became Queen at eighteen, she was so thrilled by her new independence that mar riage did not look attractive. Albert on his side had grave misgivings, but Uncle Leopold continued to push the alliance, and the results justified him. Not only did the royal couple find great happiness in their maniage but Albert proved a wise coun selor and the nation profited by it. For Albert was a truly good man and an intelligent one. Yet he had no easy road. Victoria was at first jealous of her au thority. The English aristocracy resented this German prince, and there were embarrassing ques tions about his income and quar rels over precedence at cere monials. But Victoria came more and more to recognize his intel lectual superiority and respect his moral judgments. His active interest in trade and welfare brought increasing popu larity with the middle and lower classes. The purity of their do mestic life, too, made an impres sion coming, as the royal couine did. directly after the rowdy Hanoverian kings with their drinking and mistresses. Perhaps, the Prince’s greatest failure was with his eldest son, the Prince of Wales. Of radically different temperaments, they just did not get on. Beside the quiet influence of Albert on the day-to-day conduct of government, there was one achievement that was uniquely his— the Great Exhibition of 1951 in the Crystal Palace. It stimulated trade, it made the British more aware of their bur geoning Empire and it was so well managed that there was profit of 186,000 pounds, money that was used for the establish ment of museums of art and science, a concert hall, the Royal Colleges of Art, Music and Or ganists and several scholarships all of these projects fostered by Prince Albert and some still bear' ing his name. Backrround Scripture: Matthew 13. Devotional Reading: Romans 2:1-11. T HERE’S A WORD in one of the parables of Jesus that bothers translators. In the King James translation it is called “tares,” but that is not a com monly used word any more. The RSV calls it “weeds” but that still does not hit the meaning. The New English Bi ble comes closer; it calls the stuff “darnel.” This plant, not just any old weed, but this plant in par ticular, looks so Dr. Foreman much like wheat that it is hard to tell the differ ence even with an experienced farmer’s eye. By the time the two plants have grown enough so that the real wheat can be told apart from the imitation plant, the roots of the darnel have be come so intertwined with the roots of the wheat that it is im possible to root up one without uprooting them both. This look-alike puzzle made one of Jesus’ most searching parables. There is usually only one point in each of the parables; or if there are more points than one, there is one big main point which stands out. Jesus is not talking about wheat and darnel, really; he uses them for a picture of what he’s driving at. The real point is: In this world the good people and the bad people often look so much alike and grow so closely together that only God can ever finally judge the difference.

Your FORD Dealer SHAW PAINT & WALLPAPER CO. CLARK & BRADSHAW A 8e P TEA COMPANY Everything good has imitations Few criminals would bother to manufacture counterfeit money in a country where the currency had gone to pot and even “good money” was worth nothing. Coun terfeiters flourish only where the standard genuine money is worth what it claims to be. Everything good has imitations and imitators. An article that’s no good has no one to copy it. Paintings, rugs, flavorings, houses, clothing, — name your item anywhere, and the more imitators it has, the bet ter it is likely to be. Now bring this back to people, as Jesus did when he explained the parable to his disciples. The wheat means the “Sons of the Kingdom” and the darnel stands for the “sons of the Evil One,” Satan. Sons of the Kingdom (meaning God’s Kingdom) — would mean men about as good as men can be. Sons of the devil could hardly be anything but the lowest kind of men at all. Yet the true sons of God manage to look so much like the imitators, the “phonies,” that they are hard to tell apart and hard to sort out. Why are imitations possible? How is it, though, that evil can be made to look much like good? One reason is that it is always possible to copy the outside of a thing. The writer knew a designer who was at work for a large bak ery. A rival establishment was making better bread, and putting it into an attractive jacket. The designer was trying to create — and succeeded, too -r- in making a jacket that looked almost exact ly like that pij the better br^d; and it fooled lots''of people. The point is that this artist’s bakery couldn’t or wouldn’t imitate the bread, so they imitated the pack age. That what “phonies” always do and it’s all they can do — imitate the package. Is there a sure-fire, guaranteed way, this side of the Day of Final Judgment, to tell wheat from tares, the true from the false, the good from the bad? There is one test which Jesus suggested in the Sermon on the Mount: “By their fruits ye shall know them.” Dar nel looks like wheat until the wheat ripens; then a baby could almost label each plant. A legend is told of King Solomon. The Queen of Sheba brought in her luggage two wreaths, one of real flowers, the other of artificial ones. Which was which? Solomon could not tell. So he opened a window and waited. Presently a, bee flew in and then another. The wise man could not tell true from false; but he knew the bees would know. The bees knew where the real honey was. It is not too hard to imitate the outside of a good thing; but the true inner good ness is to be found only in the genuine article. Take no other!
