THE PILOT—Southern Pines. North Carolina
By LOCKIE PARKER
Some Looks At Books
CRATERS OF FIRE by Haroun
Tazieff (Harper $3.00). It is a de
light to read this book because
the author is not only a scientist
modern world.
—JANE H. TOWNE
A KID FOR TWO FARTHINGS
by Wolf Mankowitz (Dutton
and explorer but his mind has i$2.50). We do not often find a
other interesting facets. He meas
ures, analyses, collects data, but
he also marvels. There is more
than a touch of poetry in the way
he describes the awful glories of
volcanoes and something of the
philosopher in his interest in their
impact on the human spirit. He
begins his book appropriately
enough with a quotation from
Rimbaud, “And the Queen, the
sorceress who fans the live em
bers in her earthen pot, will never
tell us what she knows and what
we do not know.”
Tazieff describes vividly the
sights and soimds and smells of
volcanoes in various stages of
eruption. He takes you with him
for a stroll around the crater of
the first one he met, Kituro in
Central Africa. Peering down into
the caldron where molten lava
still seethed, he was so fascinated
that he took a step down the slop
ing wall—then another, and an
other. Eventually he was driven
back by the terrific din and an
eruption of red hot projectiles.
But why was he there? He won
ders himself and speculates.
However, the mystery of his
cwn attraction gets little space
compared to his concern with the
fundamental mystery of the earth
itself, this hot mass of matter
held at tremendous pressures un
der a shell no thicker relatively
than the shell of an egg; Liquid
only at fantastic temperatures and
pressures, the magma is more
rigid than steel under conditions
at the earth’s surface. Occasional
ly it breaks through the shell and
we have volcanoes and earth
quakes. ,
As an introduction to the study
of these, the book is simple and
clear enough for the lay reader
with helpful diagrams. There are
also excellent photographs of vol
canoes in action, lava fields and
allied phenomena. In addition to
the Belgian Congo, Tazieff has
studied Etna, Vesuvius and
Stromboli. A list of all known
volcanoes is given in an appendix.
PLAIN CHRISTIANITY and
Other Broadcast Talks by J. B.
Phillips (Macmillan $1.65). It is a
joy to add this little book to our
collection of helpful literature.
Two others have been discussed
in this column—“The Power of
Positive Thinking” by Norman
Vincent Peale and “Life is Worth
Living” by Monsignor Sheen. Now
we have this collection of radio
talks by an Englishman.
Religion today is coming into
its own, and it is interesting to
note that the Gospel of Christ is
being spread by radio to people
all over the world. The three men
I have mentioned all use simple,
direct language to convey their
thoughts and concentrate on es
sentials, so that we may be sure
that to their listeners, it matters
not to what denominaion they be
long. Their message is the teach
ing of Christ and the possibility
of leading a Christlike life. The
fact that they have thousands of
listeners proves how eagerly the
world is awaiting this message.
In reading this book we can
well understand Mr. Phillips’s
popularity, for he gives his mes
sage with great sincerity and
clarity and can be of great help
to us all. His main thesis is that
Christianity can be a practical
and rewarding way of life in the
more lovable child than six-year
old Joe in. this book. His father
has had to go to Africa, leaving
Joe and his mother in London.
The mother works in a milliner’s
shop. Joe dreams of the day when
his father will come for them. In
the mean time, he has many
friends and his little goat, which
he calls a unicorn. Mr. Manowitz
takes us all about East London
until we know it weU. His people
are real people and Fashion Street
a real street. Little Joe is destined
to become one of the well known
and well loved children of fiction.
We can highly recommend this lit
tle book. ^ANE H. TOWNE
THISTLY B by Tasha Tudor
(Oxford $1.75). Pretty as an Easter
egg is this little book about a ca
nary written for children under
eight. Thistly B was the darling
pet of a small boy and girl who
took the best care of him. The de
tails of how they did it will be
enjoyed by other children. Then
Godmother came with a present
for Thistly B—a little wife. Yel
low Bird. There was much joy
and excitement. When Yellow
Bird got ready to make a nest,
she chose the bathtub in the dolls’
house and started building witii
hair ribbons. Later come the baby
birds and their training.
Tasha Tudor has long since
proved her ability to tell a tale
that will hold the interest of
small children. The build-up and
climax in this one will be most
satisfying to them. Her illustra
tions as always are exquisite,
though the reproduction is not
entirely satisfactory.

'^HERE would have been no cru-
A ciflxion if there had been no be
trayal. At this Good Friday sea-
ion, it may help us (though it can
not be pleasant) to think a while
about the betrayal of Jesus. We
lever understand the story o'f the
Cross when we think of it as sim
ply a historic event, something
that happened once long ago, to
other people
“Were you there
when they cruci
fied my Lord?”
the old song asks.
Yes, but not only
at Calvary—we
were in the Gar
den of Gethsem-
ane, we took part
in the betrayal.
For the betrayal Dr. Foreman
of Jesus by Judas is a picture of
the way each of us has at some
time or other betrayed the Master.
Judas was not alone.
Judas Didn't Do Much
The betrayal was such a tre
mendous thing, really, yet per
haps to Judas at first it did not
seem like much. We wonder why
Judas could ever have done such
a crime, and the answer may be
that Judas did not think of it as
a crime, beforehand. No doubt the
men of the Sanhedrin urged that
point on him. We can imagine
hearing them say: “Now, Judas,
why not? We are not asking you
to do anything. All we are after
is one fact. Where can we find
this Jesus of Nazareth after hours?
Where does he spend his nights?
We aren’t asking you to arrest
him, or to strike him or hurt him
a particle. All we want is infor
mation. What we do with the in
formation, what happens after
wards,—that isn’t your affair. Your
Master may turn out to be quite
innocent of all the charges going
around. You’d like to see him
cleared, wouldn’t you? We’ll give
him a trial; you surely don’t
object to justice being done! All
we ask of you Is one little thing:
just tell us where to find him.”
They All Forsook Him
Let it be repeated: Judas was
not alone. All the apostles had
sworn loyalty, and Peter in par
ticular. But given the chance to
escape from that garden, they
made the most of it. We are told
that they ALL forsook him and
fled. Every disciple running away
into the shadows was just as truly
denyipg Jesus as was Simon Peter
there in the courtyard by the fire.
Every sound of running feet grow
ing fainter in the distance was
just as sickening a sound as was
Judas’ kiss. Judas was the first
traitor but none failed to follow
his example. So it is with us. Like
Judas, we don’t intend to betray
Jesus,—we who are Christians. Yet
every sin is a turning of the back
on him. Every sin is a betrayal
of trust. Every sin is the same as
saying, “I do not know Jesus.”
Every sin is a going over to Jesus’
enemies. It is lining up with the
forces that would destroy Jesus
and all that he stood for. Jesus
has many friends in the world
today, but he also has many en
emies. And sin of every sort sim
ply helps Jesus’ enemies and hurts
Jesus and his cause. Like Judas,
we seldom realize what we are
getting into, at first. Smooth
tongues can make evU look almost
benevolent. It was not hard to rope
Judas in. Do we, too, make easy
victims for the devil?

IN THC LAND Of
MAKf'BEUEVE
Suppose we were all wealthy . . .
and all healthy. And suppose we had
to work only one day a week, and
could devote the others to recreation
and rest. And suppose we had no wor
ries, no problems, no responsibilities!
Would we all be happy
happy?
. . really
Of course not! For a week or two
we might revel in our good fortune,
and enjoy pur freedom from care. And
then suddenly life would become
colorless and empty. For where would
we find incentive? How would we re- -
capture ambition? What would we
substitute for perseverence and for
titude and hope; the qualities that
crown existence with achievements?
And what would happen to FAITH
—the true foundation of happiness?
In this work-a-day world, with all
its turmoil and care, the man who
depends on God lives with a smile in
his heart. And week after week his
shoes .Wear smooth the threshold of
his Church as he rejoices in the love
of His Saviour. He doesn’t dream of
happiness in a land of make-believe! ^
He has found happiness. .r

Judos, Too Late
D. L. Moody’s imaginative story
tells much of the meaning of the
Cross. Christ had just told his disci
ples to preach the gospel to every
creature. “To every creature?”
protests Peter. “I saw a soldier
cram a garland of thorns down on
your forehead till it bled ... to
him?” “Yes,” replies Jesus' too
him. Tell him that blood was shed
for him, too.” “To every crea
ture?” asks Peter. “I saw a soldier
strike his spear into your side
when you were helpless in the very
moment of death ... preach to
him?” “Yes,” answers the Lord,
“to him, too. Tell him there is a
nearer way to my heart than that.”
To every creature—yes, but not to
Judas. For him it was too late.
Why was it, so many ask, that
Judas was not forgiven, while
Peter was? Was not Peter also a
betrayer? Of course he was. But
the difference was that Peter came
back to Jesus, but Judas never
did. The Christian church believes
that Christ died for our sins, and
^ot for ours only but for the sins
'f the whole world. Yet there are
!iose whom the sacrifice of Christ
n the cross does not save. Christ
iid not save Judas, it is true. But
whose was the fault?
