S<ime Looks
At Books
By LOCKIE PARKER
LONDON PERCEIVED by V.
S. Pritchett. Photographs by Eve
lyn Hofer. (Harcourt, Brace $15).
This is an oversize book to ac
commodate the scores of fine pho
tographic studies made by Eve
lyn Hofer. These have a wide
range—Hyde Park in a fog with
a lemon yellow sun struggling
through, lorry drivers on Tower
Hill, bomb sites, the interior of
a very proper club, a London win
dow with a patterned lace cur
tain. Most of all the photographer
liked people, ordinary people, po
licemen, old people in parks,
milkmen, housekeepers, but al
ways people with character in
their faces, the kind of character
that seemed to her to make Lon
don. Next to people she liked
Tower Bridge, which appears
more than once in foreground or
background.
Accompanying the pictures is
a long and affectionate essay on
London by the distinguished
critic and man of letters, V. S.
Pritchett. His concern is to give
you the flavor of london. He pro
vides no guide book, though any
prospective visitor to London will
doubtless be making notes of
some of the odd comers he de
scribes.
He characterizes London as ‘a down vistas of experience,
heavy city,” weighted with ex
perience, muffled in fog, "the
least splendid, the least ostenta
tious of the great capitals.” Yet
it is a city where strangely
enough discriminating people
have often chosen to live, not just
the English but people from oth
er lands—for example, Henry
James. So the author endeavors
to catch for the reader the sub
tle charm which underlies Lon
don’s lack of surface prettiness
or splendor.
Part of the charm lies in the
character of the people. This in
cludes their deep respect for
property, privacy and order.
which gives the individual a feel
ing of security and the comfort
able assurance that he may fol
low his whim so ,long as he in
terferes with no one else: “the
least nervous city in the world.”
Some space is given to history,
and we learn how the different
parts of London changed and de
veloped, how many old customs
linger—Royalty still asks permis
sion of the Lord Mayor before en
tering the City. Pritchett de
scribes, too, the swift changes go
ing on today, changes in build
ings, transportation, amusements,
even speech. The speech of tbs
younger Londoners today is “a
mixture of BBC English and
Americanisms.” London no long
er belongs to the “nobs” and
“toffs,” but to the masses, inclu
ding the busloads that pour in
from the provinces for the neon-
lit night life.
The life of any great city is
many-sided and that of London,
so long the heart of an Empire
with nearly every family having
a member in India, Canada,
Africa, or, at least, at sea, is more
than commonly complicated. Mr.
Pritchett has succeeded in giv
ing us not only significant details
of daily life but suggestive views

AN ERROR OF JUDGMENT
by Pamela Hansford Johnson
(Harcourt $4.50). Pamela John
son believes in evil and that it
can happen here. The centra]
figure of the novel is Dr. Setter,
a successful London physician,
who is tormented by a horror of
his own nature, a conviction that
no matter how he struggles
against it, his effect on others is
sure to be harmful.
The story is told in the first
person by Victor Hendrey who
became a patient and then a
friend of the doctor. He is a light
weight, dabbling in advertising,
personnel management, living in
a smart little house in a smart
little square with his wife, Jen
ny. He qualifies as narrator be
cause everyone talks to him. Dr.
Setter says that he can say any
thing to Victor, because Victor
could not possibly understand.
Victor does find Setter’s words
and acts puzzling, not sensiole,
sometimes frightening.
Then there is Malpass, an old
college friend of Victor, now an
Anglican priest with an East End
parish. Through him, they be
come involved in the nroblem of
Sammy, a cold, swaggering youth
in tight jeans and fancy sweater,
who may have been involved in a
brutal murder. Setter is both at
tracted and repelled. To probe
the mystery of Sammy’s person
ality, to find out if he is com
pletely callous or capable of com
punction becomes his major in
terest.

Menen (Random $3.95). Amuse

"WE LIKE TO THINK ..."
During recent years several new industries have come
to Southern Pines and, by the looks of things, more are
on the way. This rneans more jobs for local folks, more
funds circulating in local pockets, more good citizens
coming here to live . . .
During the past year a dozen or more drives have been
held here for funds in support of better health, better
education, to alleviate human need . . .
During the past year more people have come here To
live, attracted by what they hear or have read of the
climate, the sports, the pleasant living, the charm of a
friendly, attractive community . . .
News of all this appears regularly in the columns of
this newspaper and we like to think that The Pilot lends
a hand in such good causes.

THE SINGING HILL by Mein-
derl DeJong (Harper & Row
$2.95). Long ranked as one of our
most distinguished writers for
children, Meindert DeJong this
year received both the Newberry
Award and the Hans Christian
Anderson Award for his books.
This one is about a lonely little
boy who befriends an old horse.
Ray was the youngest of three
children. The older brother and
sister went to school and even
when home they often said he
was “too little” for their activi
ties. Sometimes Ray and his Dad
did wonderful things together,
but Dad was only home week
ends.
A real comprehension of what
a lonely child feels like and a
convincing solution to this not
uncommon problem of a child
makes this a rare and satisfying
book. We hope parents may read
it as well as children under ten.

\ ^ HY the Bible? Some one
* * might think that the Chris
tian religion has a Bible just to
keep up with the procession; for
every religion in the world tliat
has as many as
a million mem
bers, has a Bibie
of some kind, and
Christianity 'vou'd
be very odd li it
did not. But this
is not the reason
wc have a Bible.
Is this the rea
son—that God can
Dr. Foreman speak to ni.o
only in a written Word? Not
ail. Did you ever stop to thi
that the whole Bible was writv,
by persons who did not have ..
whole Bible? In fact, a great deal
of the Bible is devoted to accounts
of how God has been found in
other ways as well as in the Bible.
Is the reason for the Bible our
need of a book of rules? No, the
Bible itself does contain a few
rules, but nearly every page of
it is something else beside.s rules.
Inspired
One reason the church cherishes
the Bible is because we believe it
to be inspired by God himself.
This does not mean that God dic
tated the various books of the
Bible, certainly not in English.
What we do mean is that God was
at work in the entire process by
which the Bible has come down
to us. You would cherish every
letter of one you love, if your
loved one was (for instance) a
teacher of art, you would no doubt
be glad to have pictures or sculp
ture done by her pupUs. Perhaps
your friend the teacher did not
paint this picture herself, but you
can tell it must have been done
by one of her pupils. “It looks
like her,” you say. In the same
way, God did not hold the pen
for the writers of the Bible; but
persons who have assuredly
known God, have through the
ages recognized the unmistakable
marks of God’s thought and ac
tion here. It is as difficult fo
“prove” the inspiration of 1’ >-
ture as to prove that Mozart was
a great musician. But both the Bi
ble and the music can be studied.
Out of the study comes apprecia
tion, and out of the appreciation
grows the conviction of inspira
tion.
You can put up a shack on des
ert sands or at the edge of the
swamp. But if what you vant to
erect is a skyscraper or a cathe
dral, you have to look for solid
rock foundations.
So when you are building a life,
as Jesus said, you need to build
it on a rock, not on sand. We feel
the need of a court of last resort,
a Judge above all judges. We need
an accurate compass, we need a
dependable light, a map with
roads plainly marked. Now the
Bible is all of these things, and
people who have discovered its
value have used such words as
these about it. For the Protestant
Christian of every kind, in spite
of all our smaller or greater dif
ferences, the Bible stands as the
supreme authority, even above
the church. We do not find codes
of rules here; we find living men
and women who had authentically
known God. In their life-experi
ences and in their reflections and
conclusions, we find again the
will of God for ourselves.
Some treasured heirlooms are
valued highly becauce they are
irreplaceable. So the Bible is in
valuable, because it is unique.
Most books answer some ques
tions, the Bible answers the cen
tral questions. The Bible gives us
the answers we do not find else
where. The Bible speaks to our
most agonized questionings, our
most insatiable quests. What is
my destiny, as a human being?
Am I a kind of accident, along
with other human beings, or are
we all part of the plan of God?
How can I, poor, sick as I am,
come to terms with the high
God? What is God like? What
can I believe about Him, and
what does he want me to do?
When I come to the inevitable
end of this life, and face the last
dark doorway, the last toll-gate,
what lies beyond? When I stand
at the graveside of a loved one,
must 1 stand forever alone? When
1 look into the vast reaches of
space to the galaxies receding
ever beyond our reach, do I find
there only mindless energy or do
[ dare to see above all, above all,
infinite and eternal love? The
Bible and the Bible alone gives
us the answers to such questions.
