THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1958 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER THE IMMENSE JOURNEY by Loren Eiseley (Random House $3.501). A scientist with the imag ination of a poet is a rare gift to mankind. As science has probed even farther and with more com plicated instruments into the na ture of man, matter and the uni verse, the layman feels cut off from all but the bare results. The thrill of searcli and discovery along the major frontier of our time is hidden from us in mathe matical calculations, technical terms and baffling arguments amhng specialists, until someone _ like James Jeans or Rachel Car- U son can translate into eloquent prose their experiences in dis covery and the mysteries still luring them on. The present book is a fine ex ample of this. Loren Eiseley finds the unrolling history of'life on this planet a drama of thrill ing and mysterious climaxes. There was the “explosion” of flowers at the end of the Age ,5f of Reptiles which Darwin called an “abominable mystery”—they appeared so suddenly and spread so fast. There is the ever fascinating problem of man himself. Recap itulating the theories of Darwin a>^d his contemporary, Alfred Russell Wallace, Mr. Eiseley car ries us rapidly over the interme diate ground to the latest discov eries and theories dealing with man’s origin. For himself, he in clines to believe that the emer gence of man with his vulner- anle body and big brain was as sudden and imaccountable as that of the flowers. And he pauses to brood over this lonely creature “the first to contemplate him self. . . Perhaps he knew, there in the grass by the chill waters, that he had before him an im mense journey." This is really a book of essays on different subjects but unified bv the author’s passionate inter est in all forms of life. Some chapters are comparable to Tboreau and Hudson , in des cribing his direct and delighted contact with creatures of other species. For example, there was his affair with the catfish in “The Flow of the River.” More thsm once he reminds us that for better or wprse Nature is never through experimenting. There are things still coming out of the swamp, and man may not be either her last or best produc tion though he is so far unique in being able to watch her, talk about her and influence a few of he’- activities by agriculture and engineering. joum in Irem—vre lised to know it as Persia—comes from a new press in Charlotte of which C2iro- linians may weU be proud. The design of the book, the printing, decorations, quality of paper and binding are. all excellent—the sort of book the Graphic Arts So ciety displays in its annual show. Line drawings by Helen Ann Wall are harmanious with both type and text. They convey feel ing as well as showing obdecls. I especially enjoyed her avenue of poplars. The book gives an intimate view of the Iranians in their homes, where the author fre quently visited, but he is so mod est a man that he mot only says he does not understand the Iran ians but he offers no advice on their social and economic ills. He did like them and found his visits, whether to a mudhouse in a village or to a palace, very fas cinating. He shared these people’s love of gardens, views, and con versation; and he eventually ac quired some of their indifference to time. As teacher in a mission school, his contacts were' chiefly with the well-to-do, and he found them gracious and friendly. Be yond this, he also encountered at times extreme poverty and suf fering as when he visited a leper colony and was haunted by the cry of the lepers, “God has for saken us. He has been merciful to you. Help us!” The book offers the reader a candid description of daily life in the Middle East by a sensitive observer, including food, clothes, bathing arrangements, social practices ^nd religious observ ances.

'This is a historical novel but so decoratea with damask roses, winter .heliotrope, fragrant lavender, germander and rose mary—the background so peo pled with charming children, gypsies, kindly witches and ele gant noblemen in disguise—that one can wander through its pages indefinitely without both ering too much about the history. One can even forget at times that there is a war on, as did the Haslewood family on the day of little Will’s breeching—a cere mony where the' eight-year-old was divested of childish curls and clothes and presented with his first breeches and a sword. Vet there v/as a war, a serious one with Cavalier and Puritan striving for the mastery of Eng land. The cast of characters in cludes such major figures as Hampden and Cromwell and King Charles. It was the war, too, which brought out unexpect ed traits in people, turning an amiable country squire like Sir Robert into a convinced fighter for principle and a stem Puritan. It brought strange adventures and new insights to Francis .Ley- land, the Royalist spy and com plicated the life of brave Froniga, the white witch, who was half gypsy and half Haslewood. Best of all, the author has no bitterness for either side and be stows affection generously on both Puritan and Royalist. There arc perils, crises, battles, es trangements, even tragedies, but in the end peace returns to those with whom our S5rmpathies are most deeply involved and to their beloved England. TN a “Hamfest” everybody is A there because of the same in terest: amateur radio. At a phila telic convention everybody talks stamps. They have no other reason for getting together. At a funeral, or at a wedding, you sometimes see odd assortments of human beings, most of whom never saw one another before, aU having only this one thing in common, having met the departed (by casket or by honeymoon car) at some time be fore. There are other kinds of Dr. Foreman gatherations, too. There are college fraternities, the main point of each chapter being that the boys, or girls, find one another good com pany. There are also fellowships based on some common expe rience, like a shipwreck, or having attended the same high school. Unique Fellowship The Christian Church is a fellow ship, and when it is not, it has lost the right to the title of .true church. But it is not like any of the fellow ships above mentioned. It has been called the fellowship of the un congenial. That is an exaggeration; two members of the church may have been close friends before; they joined it. But nAural con geniality is not and never was a necessity for membership. It is a fellowship of persons who have all experienced God’s forgiving grace, whose loyalties are centered in Jesus Christ. It is said that on the same morning at the same service Chief Justice Hughes of the Supreme Court and a poor woman who took in washing joined the same chiurch, It is highly un likely that the jurist and the wash erwoman could have had much fun on a picnic together or would have made good partners at a dance. But they both knew in their hearts what it was to love the Lord Jesus. Make plans now to seed lespe- deza in February. Try Rowan lespedeza this year —it niay return more profits.

D. C. THOMAS Southern Pines Lee Bedding and Manufacturing Co tATTREL HILL. N. C Makers ot ^.ATTREi QUFRN" BEDDTNr Fellowship With a Purpose But it is not only a past exper ience, however treasured, that binds together the fellowship of the family of God. It is both pres ent experience and a living inten tion: that is, what is happening to us and in us now, and what we unite to do, that also makes this fellowship unique. Consider those four items mentioned in Acts about the earliest Christian church: (1) the apostles’ teaching, (2) fellow ship, (3) breaking bread, (4) pray ers. The Christian church is the only group, organization, or society in the world that stresses this com bination. It is the only fellowship where the Bible is regularly studied (the apostles’ teaching); where fellowship is based on relation with the Son of God; where the sacra ments are observed; and where people learn to pray. (By the way, what does your church do to teach its members how to pray?) Harmony of Glory There are many expressions in the New Testament putting the purpose of the church, or one part of its purpose, into a single happy phrase. One such is in Romans 15:5. Abbreviated, it runs: “May God grant you to live in such har mony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may glorify God.” We said that the church is the fellowship of the uncongenial; but the mir acle the true church works is de veloping a divine harmony even among these ipany sorts and con ditions of Christians. But harmony for what? Not for its own sake, but to glorify God. This does not mean the church is to be a hymn-singing society, though a church that won’t or can’t sing is certainly in a bad way. To glorify God does not mean simply to praise him. It means (in the New Testament sense) so to live, as sons and daughters of God, that other persons will be attracted to God through you. Every church member ought to bd one good reason for believing iii God. When a Christian says “I believe in God,” if he told the whole story he would add: “—be cause of So-and-so,—because of certain people I can name. I be lieve in God because I saw what God can do with people, what he made out of them.” It is a terrible thing when it is .the other way around, and a man says, “I should like to believe in God but can’t I’ve known a few church member, and if their God had anything to d with making them what they are, I for one don’t want anything to do with him.” Let the church glo- vod, not slande; him!
