REEVE j The ides of “Overtook” it taken from the Overlook* provide* isr j viewing panorama* along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I - ■ ■ ■ - ■ ■ ■ — i: V ■ Today Is the eighty-fifth birthday of one of the famous men of our century Dr. Albert Schweitzer, pioneer in. theology, music, medicine, but chiefly in Christian service as a doctor and surgeon among a pri mitive black people in central Afr ica. The commemoration of his birth sets off in ftiy mind a train of thoughts about a dozen men whose lives have had a special significance for me. I call them my spiritual mentors, and though some of them belong to generations before my own, they have been, as it were, alive and real to me. When I think of them, time is transcended. There is no distinction in the feelings I have between those who are still alive and those who aye deads- For these dead 1 ...are not really dead. With them, and likewise with the several 1 mention” whom I have known directly, I feel I have enter ed into mystical, living fellowship. The first of these spiritual men tors is Dr. John H. Hutton, an. English preaek-r of note, who for the last two of three decades of liis life was the editor of the Brit ish Weekly until his death in 1954 or 1946. Through reading, week by week, his contributions to this pub lication, I felt that I came to know him intimately. Often what he wrote stirred me deeply. Another choice personality was Dr. Riehard Watson Dixon, a Church of England clergyman who died in the year of my birth. He was a poet, obscure, but in his time known and much revered by Rosetti and Gerard Manley Hop kins and Robert Bridges. Although his poetry was not all of equal merit, he created some of the fin est lines in the whole corpus of English poetical productions. But he was more than a poet. He was a. seer, he was a prophet. He had a profound in ' mght into human nature on the one hand, and into the meaning and destiny of human existence on the other. With exquisite sensitivity he painted incomparably lovely word-pictures both of people and of the natural world in which we live. While not blind to the fearful pow ers of evil thqt press upon us all, he had a faith in the final goodness of things. What he saw with his inner eyes as he surveyed— the Mrs* AMERICA says* • J talce care ofyours tooi 1 \Ssi \d Rpß : J m -/I .JKHR -*■’•' g i--1i — 1 ■~' J Z|.. > • WITH " j U.S. SAVINGS BONDS i ■ « ■-■■ -■ . y • • _ * 1 ■whole panorama of life he succeded in describing in language that was exact and felicitous and beautiful. I must mention next Dr. Frede rick W. Faber (1814-1863), who is best remembered*.-Cox his hymn, “Faith of Our Fathers”. Yet there is another hymn of his, not found in many hymnbooks and not often sung, which, in my interpretation, is, a supremely beautiful outpouring of adoration. It begins, “My God, How Wonderful Thou Art.” Going back farther in history, Anselm was one who has stirred my soul deeply. The earnestness with which he sought for an argu ment for the existence of God is a classic pattern of dedicatedness of mind. Although many have consi dered that his argument was dis credited, the spirit of his .gearch has not and cannot be discredited. I think we may say that Anselm himself, rather than his concepts, remains as a most eloquent proof of the reality of God. There-are many Bible characters .(.not counting our Lord Jesus Christ) who one could feel are living friends But one who has seemed especially real to me, who to me is into whose presence I can be brou ght, is Ezekiel. I think that there was no prophet whose consecration was superior to his. His life was completely at the disposal of the I love the man and I love to let myself be saturated with his thinking. To two musical composers in particular I have felt my inner spirit reach out and come into rap port with Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederic Francois Ghdpin. In .Japan there lives still a oon verted Buddhist,.priest who is veri tably a saint. I have known him personally for twenty five years, and occasionally I get a letter from him. To characterize him, one could say that he is a man who leads a constantly “dying life”. He lays down his life, figuratively speaking day by day, for the sake of others and for the sake of the Kingdom of God. My soul communes with him spiritually, and I think his does with me. The story of Bethnel, a black man of Basuto Land, a territory in the southern segment of the continent of Africa, captured my imagination some eight or ten years ago, and I could not help praying for him from time to lame, till jt seemed as though he was one of my living cqu&intances. Whether he still lives or not, Ido not know, and may never know, but that does not matter. A grand, saintly man of New Hampshire, now in Heaven, a soul' of purest gold, was given me for a I friend. During the last seven or 1 eight years of his life, after the sight of his eyes was gone, he spent the hours of his day, in al most ceaseless prayer. Gne uwiy sav ■ of him, as has been said of others, J “He being dead yet speaketh”. ' Dr. Karl Barth, a Swiss theolo-1 gian, has, been a profound mbukleV of thought in the las* forty years. I He, too, I consider a’ great soul, I and though he has never heard of me, I think I may have had a kind f fellowship with him (even though I may add, I may not agree with 11 hehas" written). The last character I would name, with whom I feel a spiritual, ima ginative, esthetic rapport, is Boris' Pasternak, author of Dr. Zliivago, to whom the Nobel.Prize,on,.UtfiKir, ture was offered*in 1958. Pasternak,' as I wrote in these columns at the time when Dr. Zhivago was first appearing in our book stores, is, in my interpretation, a gift of God to his-country and to the world, He — 1 just in himself and as him-1 self —is a unique "phenomenon. I! feel I love the man and have a kind of closeness to him. I pray for him. Eternal life is not something to be entered into only in the future. By faith, by imagination, with long- 1 ing and with love, it is something that may be entered into exert* now any time ahd always. The spirit ual world Heaven, if you like to call it that— is a peopled world, i into the society ot which great J souls of all ages Invite us. God is in the midst of it, an<4 God is its life and light. Also, the “Lamb Which was slain” is exalted and given the Name which is above every name. The spirit Os God “run neth and returneth” (Ezekiel 1:14) compelling all those upon whom the measureless affection of the Divine Heart is poured to come and “sit j down at the marriage supper of the! Lamb” (Revelation. 19:9; Cf. 14:23) > M «■ " j At Pete’s Snack Bar And dining Room SPECIAL SUNDAY DINNER Served from 11:00 a. m. ~ to 9:00"%? m, JELLO FRUIT SALAD CHILLED JUICES ENTREES Weekday Special Lunch .60 Baked Virginia Ham .95 Roast Young Turkey with r .„.
