Some Looks At Books By LOCKIE PARKER PILOT ADV. PAYS MAYTAG Sales & Service Parker Oil Co. tfn ABERDEEN DAWN LIKE THUNDER: The Barbaxy Wars and the Birth of the U. S. Navy by Glenn Tucker (Bobbs-Merrill $6.95). Glenn Tucker writes history and raises apples in western North Caro lina; he is probably best known for such Civil War books as “High Tide at Gettysburg.” In this book packed with adventure, he tells the stirring tale of how the in fant nation of the United States tackled the pirates of the Bar bary Coast who at that time were collecting tribute from aU the sea trading nations of Europe. In the beginning, the Ameri cans were not considered formi dable. When young Captain Bain- bridge sailed the American frig ate, George Washington, into the harbor of Constantinople in 1800 and reported to the captain of the harbor, the answer came back that the Timkish government had never heard of his flag nor the United States of America. He re plied with a lesson in geography and a mention of Christopher Columbus. So eventually Bain- bridge was allowed to land and discharge his cargo of lions, par rots, ostriches, horned cattle, jew els and slaves but not the Algeri an Ambassador, whom the Sulton Jeclined to receive. This is but one of the many strange adventures that befell the young men who represented our country as sailors on military, or merchant vessels or as consular officers in the days when the Bar bary coast throve on piracy either by direct capture or exacting trib ute. With three jealous despots to keep happy—Algiers, Tunis, Morocco—the trading nations had an exasperating time, particularly as none of the three could be counted on to keep the terms of a treaty. Penalties for not pleasing these Oriental despots were heavy, not only in treasure but in the enslavement of captured sea men who suffered extreme hard ships under the system. It was the last fact that arous ed the American people to sup port Thomas Jefferson in his de mand for a navy despite the pov erty of the new nation and the re luctance of Congress to levy new taxes—that and the protection of the commerce so important to some of the coastal towns. Private subscriptions were often taken to ransom or relieve the captured seamen, and, once the navy was started. New York, Philadelphia, Charleston and ^sex County, Massachusetts, built and equip ped ships to join those being con structed by the central govern ment. But this was only a start, Glenn Tucker gives us a play-by-play account of the Barbary Wars which, despite a slow start, provi ded plenty of action and gave some gallant young officers a chance to demonstrate those abil ities which later made them leaders in the War of 1812. Some times the author gets too in trigued by these young officers and consuls, going into detail about their past and future and so holding up his narrative, but it was their dash and determina tion that carried the project through to victory and put an end forever to the scandalous system of “bribes, tributes, insults and haggles.” COOPER'S CREEK by Alan Moorehead (Harper & Row $5.95). This account of a strange ven ture into the interior of Australia in 1860 comes from the author of “The White Nile” and “The Blue Nile.” As in those books, he is un surpassed at describing a land scape so that you feel it as well as see it. Of Australia when the early settlers saw it he says, “it was so primitive, so lacking in greenness, so silent, so old. . . The very leaves of the trees hung down dejectedly, and they were not so much evergreen as ever- grey. . . A kind of trance was in the airi a sense of awakening in finitely delayed.” True settlements along the coast were well watered, men found they could raise sheep and cattle. Then in 1851 gold was dis covered, and the population of this empty continent jumped from eighty thousand to a million jin one decade. But the vast in terior was still immapped, large ly unknown. In 1860, some leading citizens of Melbourne, the Philosophical Institute, appointed a committee to fit out an expedition to tra verse the interior. Their choice of men seems now a bit odd, not to mention the animals that inclu ded twenty-five camels imported from India, attended by three sepoys and coddled with daily rations of rum. The story of the expedition is one of mishaps and unrelenting perseverance. At stop after stop, they left behind parts of their un wieldy baggage and men, too, un til finally it was four men with six camels and a horse, no tents and minimum rations, who left Cooper’s Creefc for the final walk to the coast, 1,500 miles there and back. The country was hot, dry, barren, often with “sharp, ankle twisting stones, the clay as hard as concrete and full of cracks.” How near these men came to the northern coast, how they re turned to the base camp exhaust ed only to find that their com rades there had given them up and started south a few hours earlier makes a heartbreaking story. Alan Moorehead has told it well. The book is illustrated by contemporary photographs and drawings. Looking for more car for the money? mSFBS Shnsyw a wHBrthaBBm sbaiEB. staitsatlawBftiiBBmfpriEBs!

FOREMAN < Inner Circle Lesson for February 9,1964 Baekcraind Seriptnrtt Matthew A;18-22; 17!l-lS: Mark 8:16-17; 14:32-42 ; Luke 8;4e-68; Acts 4:13; 12:1.3. Derotional Readinct John 21:16-22. J ESUS never played favorites in the sense of treating one or two persons more generously than he treated others. On the other hand he did not treat his men as if they were all alike, so many sticks in a row. If Jesus differed in his dealings with men it was because the men were dif ferent. As every body knows, not all the crowds that followed him from place to place were his followers, really. Dr. Foreman Out of those cr9wds tliere were some, perhaps many, who were real “followers,” eager to learn all he taught. Out of those followers, called disciples, there was a small group, an even dozen men, who were not only disciples but apostles,— this last name being (in our Greek New Testament) the word for envoy or ambassador. Jesus not only taught these twelve men, he taught through them. Friends all different But not even this was the inner circle. There were three men who were more intimate with Jesus, by his own choice, than any others. They were with him, by his special invitation, at the time of his transfiguration, and also in Gethsemane. They did not understand what was going on, on either occasion; but it is clear that Jesus craved their company, even if they did what we think we could never do—go to sleep. Fancy any one sleeping on the Mount of Transfiguration, or on that night when he was be trayed! Yet these men, stupid as they must have seemed to them selves when they thought abov.t it afterwards, were the only in ner circle of friends that Jesus had. No two were alike. If you had had to give those men a written examination, you might have thought Simon Peter the dullest of the lot. But wherever there was action, Peter was there. He was the kind of man who is a natural leader, the kind of man you would depend on in a fight. James is abscure, not so well known as his brother John. We do know that Jesus’ nickname for James and John was Boanerges, “the thunder boys.” They were the two who once wanted to burn with “fire from heaven” a whole village just because no one offered them beds. Friends all alike In spite of the many differences between the three close friends of Jesus, they were, or came to be, strongly alike. This was undoubt edly due to their common loyalty to, and close acquaintance with, Jesus, their Master and Teacher. Jesus did not try to make them all over into one single mold. If you read, for example, the writ ings of Peter and of John in the New Testament, you will find that even in mature years and with long Christian lives behind them, John was still John and Simon Peter still Peter. Yet they had a common likeness to Christ. We tend to become like those we most admire. The heart’s need Peter, James and John show how it has been with Christians ever since. No two are alike; some of us are so different that we find it hard to live with the others, and they with us. Yet among true Christians everywhere there is some family likeness. A Christian always feels at home with other Christians wherever they may be. Further, now as then, some Christians are closer to Christ th^n others are. Shall we say that some Christians are more sympathetic with God, they have a keener feeling for what God is doing, they are more aware of his presence. Now the number of persons Jesus of Naz areth could treat as intimate friends was limited; but the Risen Christ, the “Friend Un seen,” has no such limitations. Can we doubt that Christ is now still in search of friends? He needs friends—indeed in the New Testament his friends are some times called his “body.” Without a body Christ would be a kind of unremembered ghost in this world. Why should we be con tent with being mere distant acquaintances of our Lord when we are Invited to become his friends?
