Some Looks

By LOCKIE PARKER

was a kind of des-
stars. But no one who is familiar
with '‘The Carolina Israelite”
needs to be told how Mr. Gold
en’s comments on the human
ert currency,” they were on their
own to deal with the Arabs as
best they could, whether with
the wild tribes who occasionally
- - - -- wiiu WUilSlUUaiiy
race—past, present and future—[swooped down on their camp but
sparkle with wit and abound in
wisdom. Joseph Wood Krutch in
the current Saturday Review
has called him a first-rate essay
ist, ‘‘closer to Montaigne than
Mencken.”
During the debate about the
Pearsall plan he produced his
could be placated by a show of
force and gifts of biscuits or with
their own camel-men who were
shameless thieves.
However Father Felix is not
one to condemn a whole race for
the faults of a few. He had the
greatest respect for one of their
own plan of ‘‘vertical desegrega-i Arab guides and trusted him
tion,” which lightened the tense-'
ness of the debate and, spreading
first by word of mouth, then by
editorial quotation, brought him
naticmal attention and feature
articles in such magazines as
“Time”—another is shortly to ap
pear in “Coronet.”
This is not his only good idea.
He has the gift of cutting through
windy arguments and cherished
prejudices with sharp common
sense. His admirers will welcome
this chance to have his best es
says in permanent form, and
newcomers can sample what they
have missed.
ONCE TO SINAI, The Further
Pilgrimage of Friar Felix Faber
by H. F. M. Prescott (Macmillan
$5.00). Known best in this coun
try by “The Man on the Don
key,” Miss Prescott has per
formed a unique service in inter
preting the Middle Ages to our
generation in imaginative tenns
and first-rate prose. In “Friar
Felix at Large,” she gave us a
fascinating tale of a pilgrimage
to Jerusalem in 1480, based on the
good Friar’s own account and in
troducing us to a character
whose wide ranging curiosity,
open mind and readiness to laugh
at himself made him the best of
travelling companions.
In 1483 Friar Felix made an
other journey and called the rec
ord of it his “Evagatorium” or
“Strayings,” because when the
other pilgrims turned home from
Jerusalem, he and a few other
adventurous souls went on to
Mount Sinai, a desert journey of
weeks. From the momient they
left Jerusalem with their camel
caravan of supplies, ‘‘jars of
completely. In fact so open-mind
ed was the good Friar and so
willing to judge each man on his
own merits that before the end
of the journey, which included
Egypt and a return by sea, he
was a bit startled to reflect on
his own tolerance: “Who, I ask
you, would ever have dreamed
that F. F. F. would be the friend
of heathens and hob-nob with
renegades; that he would per
force flatter the Turk, trust and
collaborate with Saracens, agree
with Tartars, be civil to Arabs
and Egyptians; show respect to
Mahpmet, and walk humbly
with the barbarian?” The day to
day events chronicled here show
how this came about.
But the author does not rely
wholly on Father Felix’s manu
script. She correlates it with the
accounts of the few other trav
ellers who took this journey in
the fifteenth century, giving us
a rounded picture of the Middle
East of that time.
MADAME BOV ARY' by Gus-
lave Flaubert. A New Transla
tion by ...Francis Steegnuller
(Random $6.00). This translation
is far superior to the others I
have read—choose any one you
like and compare it—and is in
deed a fitting celebration of the
centenary of this book’s appear
ance. That the book is still read
and praised, still studied by
young authors learning their
trade is a sufficient guaranty of
its contents. For myself I was
never before able to understand
why Flaubert was called a great
and the translations gave you no
idea. Francis Steegmuller, who
has made a special study of Flau
bert, has devoted his talents to
keeping “the rhythm and asson
ance” of Flaubert’s prose, and
the final effect is convincing. The
publisher has wisely " given the
book better paper and binding (
than the usual novel, something
for your permftnent library.
PRINCESS SOPHIA, a Novel
of Alaska, by Edwin Marshall
(Doubleday $3.00). This is ro
mantic fiction of the old school.
In fact, when the hero and hero
ine of the book, around the turn
of the century, were reading
those new novels, “Trilby” and
“The Gentleman from Indiana,”
one could not but think how close
this novel came to thexm in type.
The only thing ihat is out of key
is a toucxi of Freud in the central
situat on and that is not bandied
nearly as skillfully as the themes
of star-crossed love, pioneering
in (Jod’s great outdoors and a
man’s deep dedication to the
wishes of a woman he loved and
lost.
The story begins in the low
country of the Carolinas where
an old mansion stood “in the
mossy gloom of the liveoaks.”
Here Sophia was bom and later
educated by her scholarly father,
Stanley Hill, who loved her too
well. When Hill is offered the
job of supervising the schools of
Alaska, the scene changes and
we get an enthusiastic picture of
Alaska—its scenery, its wild life,
its native peoples and some -of
the types who went there in the
early days. Now that Alaska is
about to become our 49th state
his account of development"
there in the early ^lecades of this
century will have special inter
est.
The structure of the book is
not closely knit—it rather ram
bles. At first the center seems to
be Sophia, then the Norwegian
sourdough” that she married
and finally, the halfbreed son of
the latter rather steals the show.
True, the spiritual influence of
Sophia is still a factor in impor
tant decisions, but that seems a
bit forced at times. In any case
the book makes pleasant reading,
and Mr. Marshall is a good story
teller and warm-hearted in his
championship of minorities.

BEING Lot No. 2216, as shown
on a map entitled “Knollwood
Center, a Division of Knollwood,
Inc., Moore County, N. C.” dated
September, 1929, made by W. I.
Johnson, Jr., C. E., said map duly
recorded in the Office of the Reg
ister of Deeds for Moore County,
North Carolina, in Map Book 3,
page 31, to which reference is
hereby made.
Subject, however, to aU condi
tions, reservations, restrictions
and easements of record running
with the land.
The above described property
an OLD prisoner named John
•CAcame into the warden’s office
at the penitentiary, "Why don’t
you ask for a parole?" asked the
warden, for this was a model pris
oner. John said he was not inter
ested. AU his people were dead by
that time, and most of his friends.
No job could be
had on the out
side. John had
no use for a
freedom that
meant no more |
than the priv
ilege of starving
to death.
Freedom that
is nothing but
taking off the Foreman
chains, opening a gate, freedom
that is only never hearing tbej
words “You must,"—^without ever!
feeling ‘T can;” this is freedom
nobody wants. ^
frMdopi is Bssio '
This should be particulaTly in
teresting to Christians; for free
dom is at the very center of the
Christian life. Christ has set us
free for freedom, Paul writes. But
Christian freedom does not mean
that we can now do whatever we
like. Freedom does not mean we
are never under orders. It does
not mean we. should never accept
any man’s authority. It does not;
mean that we shaU run around,;
each man working out his own
little rebellion. A Christian can
take orders from other people,
and if he is in a subordinate posi
tion (as most of us are to some
body), it is usually his Christian
duty to take orders and to carry
them out as best he can.
Christian freedom means that
whatever other authorities have
the right to tell us what to do and
what not to do, our topmost au
thority is God. Christian freedom
means that we have no right to
consent to, or to obey any brand
or sort of tyrant or dictator who
sets himself up as final judge and
controller of other men. Christian
freedom means cnat vvx.eii a man,
or men, ask us or order us to do
what we know is contrary to the
will of God, we have to say as
Peter and John did to the police
court in Jerusalem, we must obey
God rather than men.
The Price of Lfberty
“Eternal vigilance,” our revolu
tionary ancestors said, “is the
price of liberty.” That Is to say,
freedom always has to be guarded.
Let us give a thought to two ene
mies of CSuistian freedom, one
outside us, one inside.
One is the :^ate or the commun
ity arotmd us. This turns out to.
be an enemy of freedom when a
Christian is discouraged or pre
vented from speaking out in any
■way which might seem to criticize
the community or the state. That
was what, got Amos into trouble.
The chief priest 'warned him not
to preach any mem there In
Bethel: *Tt is the king's sanc
tuary, and it is a temple of the
kingdom,” he said. In other words,
the church belonged to the king
and the king could not be criticized,
much less condemned. The Lord
had commanded him to speak, not
the king; and he insisted on being
heard. So in our time there are
people in politics and out who say
that ministers have no business
criticizing the government, or the
“American way of life." True min
isters know their call is from God.
not the government, not any other
organization whatever. In Atlanta.,
Georgria, a group of ministers put
out a statement condemning seg
regation as practiced there. If
they had thought of the state, or
the public in general, as their
authority, they new would have
dared op«i their moirths.
Tbnat Frm Withhi
More subtle ttan attadc from
without, is the atttude on freedom
from 'Within, ^lere are in our
country far more persons ■who are
slaves to their own sins than per
sons who are slaves (in body or
mind) to the state. Christian free
dom is a i>recious thing, because
freedom is what makes the differ
ence between ourselves and the
lower animals. If a man lets him
self drift into tin far enough, he
reaches a point of no return, like
a man In a rowboat floating down
toward Niagara Palls. When a
man forges his own chains, he
may even admire the chains as
his own handiwork. But a man
who cannot and dare not say NO
to himself has failed to guard his
freedom ag;ainst his worst enemy
—himself.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE-CHURCH
The Church i$ the greatest factor on
earth for the building of character and
good citizenship. It is a storehouse of
spiriiual values. Wnhoui a strong Church,
neither democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound reasons
why every person should attend services
regularly and support the Church. They
ares (1) For his 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 material support. Plan to go
to church regularly and read your Bible
daily.

.Folk* are curiou*. “Wh«t i* it for .... What doe*
it do?” They usually want to know about eTerythiaf
they come across.
But ask them, “What’s the Church for .... What
does it do?” and they’re likely to stop short.
You can tell them the Church is the oldest institution
in your community. It stands for God, for right-living,
and for the way of Christ.
Its aim is to help develop Christian character ....
to share a soul-lifting gospel with each person.
It strengthen* the community’s ceaseless struggle
against crime .... it serves families and individual*
in times of trouble, sorrow, or sickness. It rejoice*
with them in their happiness.
Once you’re aware of the Church’* far-reaching
program, its challenge is irresistible.
Accept it ... . take your stand for God, for right, j
living, and for the way of Christ through the Church.
