Some Looks At Books
EAGE THREE
THE GOLDEN PRINCESS by
Alexander l^aron (Washburn
$3.95). The story of the conquest
of Mexico has been told before
but never by a literary talent of
this particular quality. The high
praise which it has received from
critics in England is justified.
There are many historical novels
which are rousing good tales and
show familiarity with the gleaned
knowledge of libraries, but it is
not every day that an author can
digest his material, ponder it and
create living characters who
move convincingly through the
known events and, by the inter
play of their ambitions, emotions,
weaknesses, make the events
themselves as inevitable as a law
of nature. Mr. Baron has done
this and a bit more. As the critic
of PUNCH remarked, “This is not
only an excellent picture of a
most enthralling historical event
but an intelligent study of the
mental climate of sixteenth - cen
tury Spain.”
In a way, all this is beside
the main point. The author tells
us he set out to write a novel,
“not a fictionized biography,” and
gave himself the privilege of tak
ing liberties with some minor
matters of date and place. In ex
ploring his material, his imagin
ation was captured by Marina, the
beautiful and intelligent Indian
girl who was with Cortes both as
mistress and interpreter on the
march from the coast to Monte
zuma’s capital.
While much is debatable in this
remote period, he gives good au
thority for his belief that she
came of the royal family of a
tribe to the South, and hence the
title, “The Golden Princess.” Cer
tainly she attained unusual pres
tige among the Spanish soldiers
as .L^ona Marina and, by the ac-
coimt of contemporary chironi-
clers, took a more active part in
negotiations with the Aztecs than
that cf a simple interpreter.
She became a devoted Chris
tian; she was deeply in love with
Cortes, but she also fought for
justice for the Indians and such
treatment that they might be won
to Christ rather than forced to
submission. Her influence with
the Indisins was such that she was
almost deified, and tales of her
linger today in the lore of the
Mexican Indians. So great a fig
ure was she even then that many
of the Indians called Cortes'him
self by her name—in effect, "‘Ma
rina’s Man.”
Along with a moving picture of
his romantic heroine and of the
prt^jid Cortes with his genius as a
lead/er and his driving ambition,
the I author has given us splendid
battfile scenes, the thrills of fear
andi triumph as men marched into
an unknown land and a dramatic
sequence of events.
PRAY FOR A BRAVE HEART
by Helen Macinnes (Haroourt
$3.75). Miss Macinnes has proved
herself a skillful craftsman in
more than one type of novel, the
most recent predecessor of this
one being “I and My True Love.”
The present fast-paced story of
international intrigue is no excep
tion.
The time is 1953. We are intro-1
duced in the first chapter to two:
high-minded and intelligent ^
young Americans, one just leav
ing Berlin where he has done a
term of service in an army section
for Restitution of Lost Phroperty
i—^meaning Nazi loot—andHhe oth
er in Counter Ihtelligence. We are
told just enough about the miss
ing Herz diamonds to whet our
curiosity and make us realize
that more is at stake than just a
few million dollars. Like Bill
Denning who was all ready to
start back to America, we want
to stay and unravel the mystery
Here is where Miss Macinnes is
especially skillful. Seeing every
thing through the eyes , of Den
ning, we learn more only bit by
bit, and always the problem
grows in complications and in im
portance es the motives behind
the struggle for the diamonds
show ramifications in internation
al politics and develop tragic hu
man overtones. There is also, of
course, a beautiful girl in great
danger. This is the kind of book
that it is hard to stop reading
once you start.
JENNY'S BIRTHDAY BOOK
by Esther Averill (Harper $2.00).
This is the gayest book yet about
“that “little shy black cat named
Jenny Linsky,” and very proper
ly so, for it was Jenny’s birthday
and it was spring and everything
was wonderful. Children under
eight who already know Jenny
wiU realize the appropriateness of
these bigger, brighter pages as
Jenny gathers her brothers and
her friends and they all set off to
the park in Pickles’s fire truck
to celebrate with a picnic and
later a moonlit dance. Children
who do not yet know Jenny could
have no better introduction than
this happy picture book.
Miss Averill’s work has always
been extinguished by a complete
harmony of text, pictures and
format. She also shows a real un
derstanding of both the child
world and the cat world in her
selection and handling of sub
jects.

The Son of God
Lesson for January 16, 1955
churches composing the
-*• World Council have set up one
theological condition for member
ship, and in spite of efforts to
induce them to change, they , have
stuck to it. No church can be ad
mitted that does not acknowledge
Jesus Christ “as
God and Savior.”
Now when Jesus
is called God out- /
right, the church ;
is saying some
thing the Bible ;
rarely says. Fur
thermore, it can
be confusing to
say this. The
church universal Dr. Foreman
has never meant to say that Jesus
is all the God there is, or that
Jesus is identical with God. For
God exists in three, persons (as
the church expresses it), and
Christ is only one person. Christ
is both God and man, but God is
not man at all. And yet the church
universal, and churches in par
ticular, cling to the statement
“Jesus is God,” partly because
they would rather make the mis
take of saying too much than too
little about Christ, and partly be
cause this does express their real
faith.
Equal With God
Laying all technical theology
aside, and speaking as plainly as
possible, things can be said about
Christ, which the Bible teaches,
and which the church believes,
and which put together come out
where the church stands—on the
deity of Christ. First, Jesus him
self called himself regularly the
“Son of God,” and even his en
emies could see that that meant
placing himself on an equality
with God. Paul in the New Testa
ment speaks of Christ as the
“image of the invisible God;”
Hebrews says he “bears the very
stamp of God’s nature.” As was
said here last week. Christ is our
true picture of God, our best way
of knowing what God is like. Now ^
if Christ is “equal with God” we
should expect the church to wor
ship him—and so it does. Prayers
are offered to him directly as weU
as to the Father in his name. The
Doxology sings, “Praise Father,
Son and Holy Ghost.” and many
other hymns and songs are ac
tually prayers to Christ. (“Jesus
Savior, Pilot Me;” “Rock of
Ages,” “More love to Thee, O
Christ,” “Make me a captive,
Lord,” “Fairest Lord Jesus,”—
and any reader can think of many
more.)
The Mind of God
Second, Jesus himself spoke of
his words as being not his own
but those of the Father who sent
him. This was a vivid way of say
ing that he knew what was in
God’s mind, he knew God’s atti
tudes and intentions, how God felt
and what he planned to do. Now
it is true that there had been
prophets who spoke by inspira
tion and who brought the Word of
God to the people. But a famous
living theologian has put the dif
ference between the prophets and
Jesus this way: The Word of God
came through the prophets—but
Jesus Christ was the Word. The
prophets were at one remove
from God, and in Christ there is
not even “one remove” from the
Highest. The Sermon on the Mount
gives perhaps the most striking
illustration of this. Often in that
sermon you find the words, “Ye
have heard that it was said" (and
here Jesus quotes some passage
from the Old Testament) “but I
say luito you” (and here Jesus
gives a teaching which may be
radically different from the Old
Testament). In short Jesus set up
his own teaching as actually
above the accepted “Word of
God.” What greater claim—T
The Authority ot Christ
The practical question is: How
seriously do Christians take this
doctrine of the Deity of Christ?
The churches officially believe it;
and yet church members act as
if Jesus had never spoken, or as
if his opinion were only one man’s
opinion, worth ho more than the
average. Christians might well re
member Jesus’ own question:
“Why do you call me Lord, Lord,
and do not the things which I
say?” It is one thing to sing hymns
to Christ on Sundays, another and
harder thing to follow his teach
ings on weekdays. The test of
whether a person really believes
in the deity of our Lord is not in
what he says about it but in whit
he does about it. We might even
risk this proposition: A person
who shrinks back from saying
“Jesus is God” and yet believes
that in any case Jesus is always
right, comes nearer to truly ac
cepting the deity of Christ

Attend The Church of Your Choice Next Sunday
Uiow
Imagine picking your way along a frozen
wilderness trail.
You’re bitterly cold, but tee no sign of
human habitation, mile after terrifying
mile.
Then, thanks to someone who’s already
.gone this way, you come upon a crude
shack. Even with shelter you could still
freeze to death, but you find wood already
gathered for a fire.
Later, before venturing on, you too pile
high more wood for someone yet to come.
No matter who you are—or where—
your life marks a trail that someone is fol
lowing. Along that way is the Church—a
haven from storms of the world.
Yet the building alone is not enorigh.
It must have people to work in it and to
gather fuel for the fires of faith.
Look ahead as your fathers did before
you. Begin today to support and strengthen
the Church for those yet to come.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
AU FOR THE CHXmCH
The Church ia the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
charocter ond good citizenship. It
18 a storehouse ol spiritual values#
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For hiB own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
