RELIGION IN BOOKS
RELIGION in BOOKS
By ROY L. TAWEs

SHADE OF HIS HAND by Vic.
toria Booth Demarest. West.
minister Press, Philadelphia. 81
From the poetic lines of Francis
Thompson comes the title of this
book. From the personal sorrow
and triumphant faith of the author
comes these pages of comfort. The
granddaughter of General William
Booth she shows the spiritual
strength characteristic of that
family name in the service of the
Lord. Her chapters will help those
who minister to sorrowing homes
and those who hearts have known
the weight of grief. The Bible
and the poets are used much to
assist thought, and the thought is
never superficial. There are
two ways of dealing with sorrow.
One way is to brood over it; to
seek to probe, analyze, and under
stand it; to nurse it as treasured
though heart crushing burden.
That is the way of weak human
flesh, of self-pity, and sometimes
of subtle form of pride, for one
is tempted to feel that one loves,
suffers, and mourns more deeply
than others. 1t is the way of
thoughtlessness, for how often are
those who love us sacrificed to our
blind grief! How often do we
concentrate love and devotion on
the departed, neglecting the living
who are dependent upon us for
their happiness! 1t is the way Of
futility and loss, for it profits moth
ing; it only destroys, wasting emo
tions and energy the most vital
forces of life.
"The other way of dealing with
sorrow is to accept it without bit
terness, to consecrate it without
question and without understanding
to the Man of Sorrows, laying it at
His feet as a pitiful but sacred gift,
and leaving it there in His keeping
forever. This is the way Of vic
tory. It is triumph Of the spirit
over flesh, of faith over fear, of
hope over despair, It causes joy
to grow out of sorrow, strength out
Of weakness, and life out of death.
PRAYERS FOR ALL OCCA-
SIONS by Stuart R. Oglesby. John
Knox Press, Richmond. SIS.
These prayers We're first printed
by this Presbyterian pastor in his
church bulletin. Their publica-
tion in book form was. requested.
The book is indeed an excellent
collection of prayers. Brief and
simple and worshipful, these medi-
tations of the spirit give atten-
tion to many subjects of human ex-
perience. Always God is acknowl-
edged, and man is dependent. In
cluded are prayers for children,
and graces for the table. The
book is indexed, in attractive size
and binding, and is worthy of a
place among good devotional books.

THE MEANING OF HOME
MABEL-RUTH JACKSON

MABEL-RUTH JACKSON
My friend, Mrs. Stewart, wa
paying a call. My five-year-old sor
Laurence, came in from play an
started to speak to me. Then, see
ing my guest, he walked over t
her and put out his hand. How d.
you do?" he asked shly. When sh
had spoken to him, he came bacl
to me and asked a question.
After he had gone out, Mrs
Stewart said, Il wish my children
would do that. l always have Il
apologize for them"
But 1t is really very simple.
have always believed that home
should mean more to ones children
than just a place to eat and sleep
and live-Or perhaps a place that
belongs to Father and Mother. II
should have a personal, possessive
meaning to each child. II had not
been hard to teach Laurence that
since this is his home, he should
always greet guests, whether his
own or his parents, and make them
feel welcome.
OF course youngsters are gener-
ally so full of their own childish
affairs that it is difficult for them
to divert their interest for even a
few moments. But / have found
that if the mother has impressed
them with the Importance of max
ing a guest feel at home and well
come, she will find that after a few
times it will become natural to the
child. If 1 serve tea, let Laur-
ence pass the plate of sandwiches
or cakes. 1t gives him a feeling of
helpfulness and Importance that he
loves.
That is a part of my plan for
making our children feel that our
home is definitely their home-giv-
ing them this slight responsibility.
When 1 allot small duties to them,
l try to help them to feel pleasure
in doing them. l do not assign
tasks like an employer. If toys are
not picked up, as they are suppos-
ed to be, say, This room would
look much better il those blocks
were not lying over there, wouldn't
it?" and they agree with me and
pick them up. But such a remark
would not be likely to bring such
a satisfactory response if we did
not occasionally speak of the ap-
pearance of the room when it is in
perfect order. Fresh flowers, clean
curtains, polished ornaments are
commented on and enjoyed to-
gether.
Like other women, take pleas
ure in having my house look at
tractive,, but if new furnishing will
mean that the children must keep
away from them, then l don't have
the new things. / believe that chill
dren should come before furniture.
They are really so much more val
liable and important. I do teach my |
children to be careful, but can't
expect them to be adult-minded.
Above all, l believe that har-
mony and happiness should come
before anything else in the home
even before order. 1 want the
word, Home, sweet home," always
to have real meaning for my chill
iren. 1t cannot help but have
powerful influence for good on
their lives.

But where Barb" came from last
October-Portsmouth, England-the
school kids used to get down cellar
quite often, sometimes several times
daily.
1t wasn't exactly healthy to stay
in the study room, Barbara told
her Junior classmates here, because
there was no telling when a bomb
might plop in among the books
and inkwells.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 24.-General
Assemblymen returning to the cap
ital after their weekend recess
learned today that the administra-
tons conservation bill would be in
troduced in the Legislature tomor-
row.
Gov. O'Conor announced last
night that the bill would be "ex-
actly in accordance" with the recon-
mendations of his 13-man commit
tee that studied the conservation
problem.
A bill to establish a, unified con-
servation program was introduced
independently by 10 Western Shore

The administration measure
would establish a State board of
natural resources, consisting of the
heads of five State departments and
six members to be appointed by the

advisory and co-ordinating body.
These departments would be named
to take over the work of existing
agencies: Tidewater and fisheries,
game and inland fish, geology,
mines and water resources; research
and education and public relations
and information.
(The independent bill also would
establish a department of natural
resources with these divisions: Game
and inland fisheries; forestry and
parks, geology, mines and water re-
sources, and research and education)
Separate Forest Department.
The administrations bill also
would establish a separate depart
ment of State forests and parks by
removing the present Forestry De-
partment from the jurisdiction of
the Board of Regents of the Uni
versity of Maryland.
Gov. O'Conor said Edwin War
field, jr., chairman of the State Con-
servation Commission, would be-
come chairman of the new board
of natural resources and director of
the new department of Tidewater
fisheries.

expected to come to a head this week
or next, including the teachers sal
ary equalization question, the State
police budget, the Baltimore police
commissioner bill, the fireworks bill
and the Sunday liquor sales bill.
