Quotes Of The Day

C. E. M. Joad: In the end, men will always see the point; and in the end they will see the point of disarmament if they wish to avoid war, as they saw the point of sanitation when they wished to avoid the plague.

John Haynes Holmes: At the moment, all is confusion; the forces about us seem to be the forces of destruction. But this is because superstition, the old religion of the supernatural, is in the way and must be removed, as the mouldering walls of some old building must be removed and carted off, before the new structure, already conceived and chartered, can rise in the soaring structure of steel and stone.

Eugene M. Cosgrove: Is it too much to say that wherever humanity has reached a cross-road in history, there has appeared the young adventurer, the radical innovator-a social prophet, a dreamer of new beauty, pointing the way to the finer and better world of which all poets, artists, and lovers of mankind dream?

L. L. Dunnington: Every person in the world has it in him to become far more than he is. "Men habitually use only a small part of the powers which they possess," said the eminent psychologist, William James. Great unused reservoirs of power lie buried deep within us all.

Dwight D. Eisenhower: Men of widely divergent views in our country live in peace together because they share certain common aspirations which are more important than their differences. The common responsibility of all Americans is to become effective, helpful participants in a way of life that blends and harmonizes the fiercely competitive demands of the individual and society. C. S. Lewis: No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. There is a silly idea about that good people don't know what temptation means.

Charles E. Wilson: The question is not how much we are entitled to as individuals. The question is how much can we now contribute.

Quotes Of The Ages

Michelangelo: Nothing makes
the soul so pure as the endeavor to
create something perfect; for God
is perfection, and whoever strives
for it strives for something that
is Godlike.

Goethe: The greater part of all
the mischief in the world arises
from the fact that men do not
sufficiently understand their own
aims. They have undertaken to
build a tower, and spend no more
labor on
the foundation than
would be necessary to erect a hut.

Lacontius: The first point of wis-
dom is to discern that which is
false; the second, to know that
which is true.

George Hepworth: The man who is in an attitude of hostile resentment toward any one, and who would, therefore, do him a personal injury if opportunity offered, entertains an evil spirit as his guest, and blocks his own way to spiritual progress.

John Greenleaf Whittier: Each good thought or action moves the dark world nearer to the sun.

George Eliot: Justice is like the kingdom of God: it is not without us as a fact, it is within us as a great yearning.

Charles Dickens: The shadows of our desires stand between us and our little angels, and thus their brightness is eclipsed.

Thomas Huxley: If a little knowledge is dangerous, where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger?

John Ruskin: You will find the mere resolve not to be useless, and the honest desire to help other people, will, in the quickest and most delicate way, improve yourself.

Carlyle: Our grand business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

Frank Swinnerton: In life... there are neither rewards nor punishments. There are consequences.

Virgil: He destroys his health by the pains that he takes to preserve it.

A Hill Prayer

Subtile and sweet the wild grape-blossoms throw
Their meed of perfume to the breath of May,
And every sluggish little bud that lay

Inert and joyless through the night of snow
Bursts, like my heart, with springtime ecstacy.

My dreams too fair to be? O Thou whose love
Dreams beauty into being, makes it true,-

Those far white clouds that float across the blue,
The sweet spring day here, and that hidden dove,-

I ask no more to see, to understand;

Not yet, O God, not yet the unveiled face!

Let me through many springtimes search the grace In one of these the marvels of Thy hand.

What Thou art, I may never comprehend,

Or whether Love or Law or God or Power;
What I am, in the passing of this hour
Has ceased to matter: here my strivings end,
And here, in blessing Thee, my soul is blest.

Not for some far-off heaven's higher bliss,
Not for some destiny that waits for me,
Not for dream-gloried worlds that are to be,

But for the simple loveliness of this,

Close to this throbbing hillside's fragrant breast,

I love Thee, with a beauty-broken heart,

And worship Thee, be whatsoe'er Thou art.

-Marian Warner Wildman

Fear Of Controversy

WALKING PAST A shoe-shine stand yesterday, it was good to hear the radio blaring forth a play-by-play account of one of the major league baseball games. Another season has started. Bob Lemon yesterday turned in a onehitter. How will Freddie Hutchinson of old Franklin Hi in Seattle do with his Detroit Tigers? Can the fabulous Yankees make it five in a row?

But even baseball is affected with the "Weltschmirtz." Things just aren't good. Nothing is going right. It is so bad I'm not even going to hope for the Boston Red Sox. They'd profit if they should get snowed out every day for the rest of the season.

But it remained for the Cincinnati team of the National League to come through with the prize-winner. Just before the season started the Cincinnati club informed all newspapers, wire services, and sports editors of the country that things being what they are, the club no longer will be referred to as the Cincinnati Reds. They are now called, if you please, the Redlegs.

How much farther do we go with this nonsense before we discover that we are on the verge of being played for the biggest boobs on record? Who is responsible for this consummate foolishness, this whole pitiful national mania with its nightmarish and dangerous demands for conformity, fear of controversy, intolerance of opposing or unpopular ideas and convictions, surrender of due process, guilt by association, the smear, the inference, the innuendo, the questioning of each other's patriotism, the propagation of hatred, and the demands for a show of loyalty? Whose voices are these which divide and confuse by trying to tell us that a man's economic security is a loss of freedom and a Communist plot?

The Queen of Hearts, we are discovering, was not so overdrawn after all. She cried: "Sentence first, verdict afterwards- Off with their heads!" You should see my correspondence. There are far too many Queens of Hearts screaming

"Sentence first, charges, trial

later."

In other words, this thing is getting out of hand, and everyone
