$12.95). The author, thirty years
a teacher of geology at Harvard,
now Professor Emeritus, says
that this book fulfills “a long-
nurtured ambition to pproduce a
pictorial geology for the lay
man.” It is well organized and
attractive presentation of a big
subject with a wealth of illustra
tions, over a hundred of them in
color.
Beginning with a look at our
modest place in the cosmos—
there is even a picture of what
our galaxy would look like if
viewed from a point in space
beyond the Milky Way—the au
thor goes on to discuss the age
of the earth, now estimated at
four and a half billion years, and
the structure and composition of
its interior
There is a generous chapter on
rocks to please the rock hounds
—igneous rocks, sedimentary
rock, metamorphic rock, to clas
sify these by how they are form
ed—and the variations of all
three types.
Next Professor Mather lakes
up the many changes that have
occurred and are still occurring
on and in the earth that we
usually think of as stable, the
changes made by winds and
water, glaciers and landslides,
volcanoes and earthquakes and
by man whom he rates as “the
most effective agent of geologic
change.” Man has deforested
large areas to get fuel and build
ing materials and thus precipi
tated erosion and floods. But at
other times and in other places
he has terraced hillsides and
built dams which helped to stem
these evils, has reclaimed land
from the sea and made deserts
blossom.
I found especially fascinating
the chapters on volcanoes and
earthquakes, two convulsions of
nature that man has still no way
of controlling nor even accur
ately predicting. He can measure
their force with the seism.ograph
and knows in what general re
gions they are most likely to oc
cur. More amazing still he has
harnessed some of the energy in
volved. At Laradello in North
Italy, turbo generators are driven
by natural steam from wells
drilled to depths of five to fifteen
hundred feet and furnish electric
power to a large section of Italy.
In Iceland the buildings of the
city of Reykjavik are heated
from a similar source.
The presentation of the sub
ject has been skillfully aimed at
the interests of the average man
and kept free of professional jar
gon. A glossary helps with the
scientific terms the author found
it necessary to use. Most import
ant in making all clear for the
reader is the way pictures and
diagrams appear just where you
need them most. Aside from their
utility, many pictures are mag
nificent views of nature at its

MOTHERS ARE FUNNIER
THAN CHILDREN by BETTY
Rollin (Doubleday $3.95). Noting
the many books by and about
cute children, Betty Rollin.s de
cided far too little attention had
been paid to mothers who are
pretty cute too sometimes. Draw
ing on the literature of the sub
ject she has collected bits from
Punch, Mad, The New Yorker
and the works of Patrick Dennis,
Jean Kerr, Ogden Nash and oth
ers but writes a good bit of it
herself. Cartoons are from simi
lar sources but the majority by
Sergio Aragones.
One amusing section contrasts
in parallel columns the advice
given to expectant mothers then
(about 1900) and now. There are
letters from mothers to children
at camp and elsewhere and light
verse, including one from Morris
Bishop in mother’s baby talk
which is carried to such lengths
that the baby finally s.ays. “YOU
get in the baby carriage; I’ll push
you home.” This is followed by a
suggestion that the little ones get
together and discuss their prob
lems in BTA meetings, consider
ing such questions as “Do soap
operas have a harmful effect on
mother’s morals?” ^
Toward the end, we find a
reord book for the new mother
with a place for her photograph,
foot print, her very first word
and so on. Wherever you dip in,
you can be sure of chuckle.s.

VICKI AND THi: BLACK
HORSE.written and illustrated by
!Sam Savitt (Daubleday $2.95).
This is a stirring story for young
horse lovers. Vicki thought she
was the luckiest girl in the eightli
grade to have such a horse as
Pat to care for—sleek and black
with one white star on his tore-
head. True, she could not ride
him—he was her father’s horse—
but she was saving money to buy
a horse of her own.
A hundred dollars will no-: go
very far in buying a horse, but
it did buy a pony. Je.sse was a
miserable little creature when
Vicki brought him hom.e but she
soon had him plump and well
groomed. The black horse was
obviously pleased to have a com
panion in stable and pasture; the
friendship that grew up belwt er
the two, their separation and re
union make a dramatic and
touching story that will be es
pecially appreciated by girls
from seven to eleven.
The book is liberally illustrated
by Sam Savitt’s fine drawings
of horses in action. Mr. Savitt is
official artist for the U. S. Eques
trian Team.
THE WITCH OF HISSING
HILL by Mary Calhoun, pictures
by J anel McCaf f ery Morrow
$2,95). Just in time for Hallo
we’en comes this colorful book
about a wicked witch named
Sizzle who raised black cats, -‘the
witchiest, wickedest, roost won
derful witch cats in the world.”
Other witches came from miles
around to get her famous black
cats.
Then one day a black cat pro
duced a yellow kitten. The mam
ma cat looked at it, backed off
and hissed in horror. Then she
hastily hid it, so Witch Sizzle
•wouldn’t know. Under the bed
little Gold slept and grew, slept
and grew. One day Gold bounced
out to play, and Sizzle saw her.
How she screeched and scolded.
But little Gold did not care; she
just purred and tickled Sizzle’s
toes wtih her tail until Sizzle
giggled.
The tale of Gold’s further ad
ventures in the witch household
and of her effect on it is an ex
citing one and we predict it will
be a favorite with children from
four to eight.
Backsroond Seriptore: I Timothy 3:14
through 4 :16.
Devotional Reading: I Corinthians 9:24-27.
A S USUAL, there is a great deal
more in the passages of Scrip
ture which have been selected for
this study than we shall get out
of it. But the reader will be re
warded for his own explorations.
The topic chosen is one out of
several that are
to be found here.
One striking
thought in these
few sentences is
that there is a
likeness between
athletes such as
you see in an
Olympic contest,
and athletes of
Dr. Foreman the spirit. The
first thing an athlete in any sport
has to learn—and if he doesn’t
learn it he never learns anything
else—is keeping fit.
Follow directions
When a boxer goes into train
ing, or a swimmer is pointing
toward the big meet, there is al
ways a trainer. Whether it’s body
building exercises in general or
working up a good backhand in
tennis, or whatever, if you won’t
or can’t take directions you won’t
go far. We can think of Paul as
Timothy’s spiritual teacher. Tim
othy was an unusually good man,
you would think he did not need
any one to tell him; but his
friend Paul writes to tell him
what to do to become a better
Christian, a better man, a better
minister. If you get to thinking
you know more than the coach,
you won’t stay on the squad long.
Yet a good athlete is not a mere
robot, he thinks for himself. One
of the jobs a trainer has is to
cultivate, in the men he is train
ing, independence of judgment,
ability to act quickly in new situ
ations. In the same way, growing
in the spiritual life is going to
be impossible for the person who
’•■'Ti’ses to lea’’^ '
are better at it than he is.
Good food
Another essential in physical
training is good food. You don’t
feed a football team on cokes and
malteds all the time. You can’t
build up a strong body by eat
ing anci drinking half-spoiled food
and drink. It’s the same way with
what is more important than your
body, namely your soul. Your soul
is just your real inner self, your
soul even more than your body
is you.
Train yourself
The old-fashioned word “godli
ness” means simply God-likeness.
Tiiere is no higher aim possible to
any man than to become like
God. But Godlikeness does not
descend on us like sunshine and
rain. Timothy at any rate (and
no doubt you and I too) was ex
pected to train himself in God
likeness. Remember Timothy was
a good man. If anybody could
grow spiritually without trying,
surely it was he. But Paul talks
about toiling and striving—he fol-
Icv/ed his own advice! It is not
easy to grow as a Christian. Paul
himself referred to the whole of
the Christian life as a fight, a
■race. Anyone who sincerely
wishes to grow more like the
master has a fight on his hands.
There is too much in this world
that hates goodness, for goodness
to be had just for the wishing.
Practice
Watch a pitcher warming up
in the bull pen. Why does hs
do it? He’s been on the mound
scores of times before. Baseball
is nothing new to him. And yet
he, this seasoned pitcher, has
to ppctice just as if he were a
rookie. No matter how good you
are as an athlete in any line, you
need practice to improve. One
pole vault is not enough to per
fect your form. This is just as
true in the inner life. One act of
kindness does not make you a
kind man. One deed of self-sacri
fice does not turn you into a
saint. It is only the beginner in
golf who keeps thinking how to
hold his wrist. Only after years of
practice will he be able to hold
his wrist right without thinking.
How much more important it is
to live rightly with God and
other men! But if you don’t prac
tice you’ll never learn.
