He was 70 years old. Yet, all through this summer, he drove horses in races at county fairs as he had done for over 50 years. "Buntain up’’ was a familiar line on racing forms for a half cen­ tury. He died of a heart attack just after winning a race at an Ohio fair.

A t the first hint of frost, off they fly, leaving a dullness whore things were tuneful during their short stay.

SLOW-SCKOOL Make sure this sign means what it says. ^ Children are cautioned constantly against careless cross­ ing of . ttoets. Drivers are warn­ ed as constantly against reckless­ ness.

But lives, as well as time, are often lost by it. Let the sign, “ Slow-Solniol” be a very important part of your motoring practices, and it will be a better anti safer world. A SAGE SAYING Prosit; Ili.-enhower, of Co­ lumbia ur.iver.-ity, recently startl­ ed the v.wrM by saying that stu­ dents like u> have fun.

Dr. Foreman Y/'OU can learn more about hu- * man nature from reading the Bible than from living in New York,” said a Yale professor who had tried it both ways. He was right: for in id New York you are likely to see your neighbors only on the outside, while in the Bible you are introduced to people on the in­ side. One great value of the Bible is its plain stories: about people, all sorts of people—simple, great, wise, foolish, saints and sin­ ners. They lived thousands of miles from here, and thousands of years ago. They dressed differently and many of them spoke in languages now dead. Yet somehow they live in these inspired stories. Saints O NE of the grOJt biographies of the Bible is that of Abraham. If you will read it in Genesis you will see it is not like one of our mod­ ern biographies; it does not follow a continuous line, but consists of short incidents strung together sometimes without connection. It is more like an album of pictures than like a. movie. Yet putting all the pictures together we get an impression of a re­ markable man. Indeed, Abraham was one of the most remarkable men who ever lived. Without a church, without a Bible, without prophet or priest or tradition, born in a nation and a family that "worshiped other gods,” as Joshua said later, somehow Abra­ ham came to knew that there is but one God, and not only to know that as a fact but to know that God as a friend. (In fact, Abraham's name among the Arabs to this day is “The Friend.” ) We must call Abraham one of the great religious geniuses of all human; history. Yet he dees not stand alone. The Bible is a bock c.-f saints; the letter to the Hebrews calls the roll of some, and ends by saying time is too short to name them all. Now a saint is not a person who lives totally without sin. A saint is one in whoso life good­ ness is stronger than evil; a saint is one who actually lives as a friend of God, for whom God is the central fact in all his life. Sinners T HESE are no whitewashed plas­ ter saints, the great and small .figures of the Bible stories. They come before us just as they were. Abraham, for example, at times was a coward, a liar, a bigamist, a slave-holder. We must not suppose that ev­ erything any character in the Bible did was right, or is right today. The writers simply tell the stories, seldom using ad­ jectives like “ bad” or “ good” or “ noble” or “ mean.” We are left to make our own judgments. We are shown what effects sin has on men, we see how evil spreads by suggestion and imitation, we see how temptation works. GGd inspired the biographers; but he does not inspire men to tell lies or to covex up evil by calling it good. So do not be shocked to find that even a saint like Abraham had feet of clay, The important things about him are the good, not the bad. * * • The Light That Shines CHJRTHERMORE, when you read , " these Bible biographies, you can trace a very interesting story through them all; namely the story of the human understanding ol Right and Wrong. But in Old Testament times, as in the case of Abraham, we must remember they were in the . dawn-years before the sunlight of Christ had Hsen. Some of the things Abraham did would get him into jail nowadays; but some of those very acts were then the mark of a gentleman. Sometimes when you are discour­ aged and think the world is growing j worse, all you need to do is tej think back to some of these old' Bible stories. What the very best; people did then, is now by Chris­ tians seen to be not always good. The human race has progressed, and nowhere more than in its knowl­ edge of what is right to do. And even so, a man like Abraham, as good and great as he was, shines with an even brighter light across the centuries, challenging us to rise above our times as he often rose above his own.

He worked in the fields •and walked two miles each way to the district school; at nights, he often saw his parents giving aid to runaway slaves on their flight to freedom.

But on most questions of international as of personal interest, those two sides get down to the right 'side and the wrong side. It ought to be just about axiomatic by this time in world affairs that every­ thing that increases the freedom and liberty of people, everything that offers them, in their daily living, more of the good things of life, tangible and intangible as well, is a step towards the im­ provement of human society.

Earl Engle. this yardstick, the double-talk of the Communist mouthpieces, wherever they ply their trade, be­ comes a smattering of ignorance. . For wherever Communism moves, living standards reach plateaus of depression levels, and appear to remain there indefinitely. The most notable episode in the recent history of the Communist movement has just occurred in Yugoslavia, once the most ehes- ished feather in the Soviet cap. Word reaching Washington from Geneva indicates that Tito is com­ pleting a trade agreement with Great Britain. Among the provi­ sions of the reported transaction is a promise to compensate Brit­ ish investors for property seized by the Yugaslav government. Fairly lengthy portions of the trade agreement deal with ship­ ments of grains, timber, wheat and bauxite from Yugoslavia to Britain. All this points to a def­ inite recognition by one of Rus­ sia’s chief satellites of the facts of economic life. No one can de­ rive any optimistic political con­ clusions from the new develop­ ments, but the ability of the So- viot sphere to meet the needs of those people in its own orbit has now been definitely challenged. Pilgrim Edition of the Bible In a day when men thing in terms of Armageddon, when they seem to be conducting their lives in a mood of "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die,” it is comforting to fmd thoughtful people rejecting this attitude of surrender to think in terms of eternity. The Oxford University Press has just published its new "Pilgrim Edition” of the King James version of the Bible after ten years of scholarship and prep­ aration devoted to tliis projejet. The new edition contains 1,760 pages and 7,300 footnotes explain­ ing obscure phrases, defining ob­ solete words, explaining proverbs. In addition, the text contains dia­ grams of the temple of Solomon, the Holy of Holies, and contains illustrated drawings of teh Ark of the Covenant, the golden incense altar, and the table of shewbread. Introductory paragraphs explain the history, purpose, and authors of ea?h book and offer some out­ lines of the of the contents of the hooks themselves. The many printed versions of the. Bible are listed and described in a special in­ troductory chapter. It is apparent that the new edi­ tion will makt a great appeal to children, teachers, and students, as well as to grown-ups. Maybe the reading to this newest addition to the long fine of Bibles published by distinguished leaders of the literary world can be added to the daily reading fare of the political leaders of our world scene. It would serve as a great antidote to much of the power-seeking, megalomaniac, egocentric litera­ ture of our time.

A t a time when the political, re­ ligious, and economic freedoms of half the world are in jeopardy, it is inconceivable that we should have so great an apathy as ap­ pears in many sectors of our po­ litical life.
