not a brilliant man, perhaps not
even a~strong one, though he had
an impressive front" On jour-
ney in the back districts the natives
would take him for Zeus, king of all
the gods. But it was not his looks
that were important. it was his big
heart.
When Saul was converted, there
was an awkward situation when
that young convert went back to
Jerusalem. The little society OF
Christians there knew Saul for q
tiger ! They had suffered at his
hands. they had seen their friends
dragged off by his henchmen. Sc
when Saul showed up among the
very people he had terrified, when
he not only showed up but claimed
to be one of them, no wonder they
were frightened.
All but Barnabas. Somehow OF
other (shall we say it was Gods
Spirit in him?) Barnabas was moi
afraid. He took Saul the Terrible
by the hand, he introduced him to
the church leaders, he told them
his story, he sponsored Saul as we
would say.

seemed to have grown between
them. On the way to the suburb
where she lived, Marya thought
about her day-and Louis. She be-
came so engrossed in her thoughts
that she left the brief case with the
music on the train.
Early that spring, there was
concert at the social center with the
women's symphony accompanying
the young artists. Naturally, NMarya
attended the concert. All the AL
vanios were there-even Albert, who
wasn't selling drugs for once. Flea
nor was to sing, and Louis was to
play. There were three others on
the program, too. Eleanor was the
second performer, and she sang
beautifully, her lyric soprano float
ing magically above the muted vio-
Inns of the orchestra.
During the intermission the peo-
pie talked and buzzed, and the AL
vanios looked toward her and
smiled, as though to say,
"See, we told you. Eleanor's the
onel"
The orchestra returned and the
program continued. Then Louis
played, and the angels listened.

The Hands Of the Church

TIVE TIME. came when Barnabas
l. and Saul we're sent out by that
same Antioch church to be the first
foreign missionaries ever deliber-
ate1y sent out by any Christian
church The hands of the church
were laid on them before they left.
To this day, when a man is
set apart, by ordination, for a
particular work in the Christian
church, hands are laid upon his
head This Is more than an an
tique ceremony, there is more
than magic In it.
The laying on of hands may
mean different things to different
churches, but this at least it always
means: The men so ordained are
now the hands of the churches they
represent.

She sang quite bit for the service
men, and always she was search
ing-searching for shock of black,
curly hair, and those dancing black
eyes. But no word came of him.
Each year at Christmas she got
the Alvanios' card, and the spright-
ly, talking note scrawled across its
back in Adela's illegible hand.
Eleanor was at Curtis institute, l"
she wrote, land Carmen was study
ing with Mastroberti.
But of Louis-nothing q
Marya tried to put him from her
mind, but she fought losing bat
tie. She worked furiously, trying to
forget. Then the war was over, and
the period of readjustment began.
She continued to work in New York.
One day she returned to her desk
to find a letter from Louis. He
was to have his debut in Carnegie
hall, and had enclosed ticket for
her. Would she be so kind as to
come.
XXIOULD she come. An hour be-
w fore concert time, she was
waiting in her seat. She listened
with bowed head while he played
the monumental works Of the great
composers. The audience liked him,
and called for an encore. Then
Louis played the tarantelle. She
looked up as she listened, and he
smiled in her direction as the bow
raced across the singing strings.
Then the dancing, laughing melody
ceased. ALI around her, the people
stood, cheering! The cheering and
applause echyed through the huge
auditorium, but Marya was remem-
bering another Sunday afternoon.
She remembered the artichokes
and chestnutS -. she thought about
her music, the music in that brief
case. Beautiful songs they were,
love songs, tragic songs, songs in
praise of God, songs about mems
souls, songs of death, and songs
of life. Life and songs. That was it!
Life and songs Songs on the strings

AS she hurried from the auditorl-
>um and walked up the street, people
smiled. People smiled at the young
woman who was humming to her.
self while she walked up the street.
They stopped to stare at the girl
singing and walking in the snow.
During that applause, she had
reached her decision. She thought
that Louis. like her songs, had been
lost to her; but one never lost songs,
and one never lost love. These were
I things of the heart-they could nev-
er be lost.
This time the critics proclaimed
Louis the finest young artist to ap-
pear in the city in many years.
A great discovery, they labeled
him. She laughed when she read
that they had discovered Louis at
the concert. She was still smiling
when she called the hotel where he
was staying. She informed the clerk,
will you tell Mr.. Louis Alvanio
that Marya Ames is calling? +.
Yes, I'll wait"
She had waited so long but
now the waiting had come to an
end and she smiled as she re-
membered artichokes and chest
nuts, laughing eyes and violins,
and music left on a train.

After years of talk about what a

such a character, New York's S. N.
Behrman decided he would, be the
man to dramatic it. He was en-
couraged in this by the Theater
Guild which recognizes that no

himself, is more at home in a draw

There is always a danger, in trans
ferring the work of Charles Dickens
To the screen, that those richly-fia-
vored characters of his will turn out
to be lampoons of themselves. This
seems to have been what has hap
pened in the case of nicholas Nick
leby," another 1947 British excursion
into Dickens, which has just arrived
at the Hippodrome. This is no match
for that other recent English adap-
tation of the same writer, Great
Expectations"
Nicholas Nickleby," in fact, re-
sembles more than anything else the
works of Dion Boucicault. 1t is mel
odrama of the thumpingest sort. 1t
us more stalked through than played
by cast headed by Sir Cedric
Hardwicke. A director named Cav
alcanti has permitted his players to
rant and leer and posture in a man
ner reminiscent only Of our late,
lamented Roadside Theater, where
old-fashioned melodramas were en-
ployed as the victims of acting jests.
There is, of course, a certain
amount of enjoyment to be derived
from watching actors lavish deadly
serious pomposity on what looks
from the outside like bunch of
foolishness.
Foolishness is what Nicholas
Nickleby" closely resembles, all
right, as it emerges in John Dighton's
episode screenplay. Nicholas is
shunted from adventure to adven-
ture in a mechanically contrived
manner that bears little resemblance
to life. Packed off by his misery
uncle to teach at a school conducted
by an ogre, he finally beats up the
ogre and fees with cringing young
man named Smike. Just as he is

Krug Favors Fish Trap Limitation

ANCHORAGE, (P) - Assistant secretary of the interior William E. Warne denied Wednesday that interior secretary Krug has taken a stand in favor of fish traps for Alaska.
 Referring to advertisements ap- bearing in Alaska newspapers al leging to quote the secretary, Warne said:
 "Quotations taken out of their context have been used by the fish trap) owners to perpetuate their fish traps and to indicate support by the secretary of inte- rior for their position.
 "The letter from which the quo- tation actually was taken pro- posed to Congress a limitation upon the number of fish traps and the number of years they could operate"
 The advertisement to which Warne referred carried the head line U. A. Krug, secretary of in terior, says: Traps Conserve Sal mon'."
 Warne said the department urged action on the issue and urges an untrammeled expression of opinion by voters at the polls" "
 A Territorial referendum will be held Oct. 12.

Tobin told reporters after a visit to the White House Tuesday while he was still debating with himself whether to accept the as signment-that he is definitely opposed to the labor act.
 But some other Democrats, meanwhile, fired new broadsides against a Truman legislative pro- gram which they branded as op- preSsive.
 Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of s. Carolina told a cheering states rights party launching in Houston Wednesday night that MT. Tru- mans civil right program "calls for a police state in this country"
 Thurmond and his running mate, Gov. Fielding L. Wright of Mississippi, lashed out at the ad- ministratiOn and the national Democratic party in their formal speeches accepting nomination on the States Rights ticket.
 The Dixiecrats, however, may face a legal comeback from the Truman forces. Democratic party officers said court action may be taken in some southern state to compel state electors to vote for the national ticket.
 Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, the COP nominee, joined in the at tack on the Truman administra- ton. He told the executive com mittee of the Young Republican National Federation in Albany that the Democrats were resort ing to "easy remedies and quack solutions" for the nations prob lemS.
 And Rep. Hugh D. Scott, Jr., COP national chairman, said the Truman administration was not being "honest" with the people on the tax, price and imitation iS- sues.
