THE first impression | get from
> this story is the fact that these
people OF Ephesus loved Paul.
They loved him enough to lay aside
their work and hasten to the near
by seaport of Miletus to see him
for the last time, and to bow down
in his presence and honor him.
why did they thus love Paul?
Because he had told them about
Ged. You need but read again the
record Of Paul's ministry in that
important city of Ephesus to be
reminded Of how greatly he had
served them in the name Of Jesus.
Loved and honoredl What trib-
ute to the worth of Christian char
.acter! Wouldn't you appreciate the
;tribute which they paid Paul as the
goal out yonder to which Jou strive?
Boys and girls Of today may thus be
honored tomorrow IL they will live
Nor Jesus as Paul did.

Reading
and Writinq
Rx Mary MeGrory


A distinguished British poet who
likes to talk politics is Stephen
Spender, a recent Washington visi-
tor as the guest of the British
Embassy. A student of world affairs
who recorded his observations of
postwar Germany in European
Witness" Mr.. Spender, tall, curly
haired young man who speaks in
soft and rather cadenced measures,
expressed his disappointment with
the role of writer's in the present
crisis.
He thinks that it is a pity that
American writer's have turned away
from Europe in her plight because
they have been disillusioned by the
dull and miserable conditions which
obtain on continent which they
had previously found glamorous and
stimulating. English intellectuals,
whose sense of values has gone
slightly aWry, should unite for con-
certed action on the "disgraceful"
paper situation instead of complain
ing individually about the petrol
shortage and travel restrictions
which keep them from mingling.
American propaganda efforts in
Europe, Mr.. Spender feels, would
be more profitably directed toward
sending over evidences of cultural
achievements as expressions of our
concept of individual liberty rather
than exhortations on how to feel
about Russia.
These disruptive times may well
produce an age of poetry, according
to Mr.. Spender, who is now teaching
at Sarah Lawrence College and
working on two poems. one which
will be read at the Phi Beta Kappa
exercises at Harvard in June and
another which is autobiographical.

World Peace Thought to Be Menoced
By Opinions and Passions of Men
THE STEEP PLACES
BY Norman Angel. Harper; S3J
Y BELMONT FAIRIES.

Reviewed by BE
Sir Norman Angel, who has de-
voted a lifetime to the study of
governments and people, sees in the
human factor-the opinions and
passions of men-both the dan
ger and the hope of the world
today.
The danger is that we shall drift
into an annihilating atomic con-
f1ict with Russia. The hope is that
be preserved without it.
Sir Norman thinks it can. But
to reach an understanding with
Russia we must first understand
ourselves-what we want most and
how much We are willing to pay
for it. Much of our confusion comes
from our faulty thinking, from pas
sionate convictions of party and
class which control political judg-
ments, from the refusal of educated
men to face facts.
The title is from a verse in the
Gospel of st. Matthew: THE devils
went into the herd and, be-
hold, the whole herd ran violently
down a steep place into the sea,
and perished in the waters
Sir Normans devils are mainly
theological ones, and his analysis of
the thinking of the extreme left is
penetrating and caustic. But he
sees no inevitable conflict between
communism and capitalism.

Conquering America
In ; Easy Lessons

THE CONTINENTAL TOUCH
BY Joseph Wechsberg. (Houghton,
Mi67in;: s2.75.J
The international heel whom Jo-
seph Wechsberg dismantles in THE
Continental Touch" is originally
named Louis Dellinick, but he
changes names as frequently as he
changes wives, which is quite often.
The tipof about Louis is that al
though he is 6 feet tall he wears
elevator shoes. Greedy, you see, and
always anxious to kid the public.
His career and comeuppance are
related in highly entertaining and
authoritative fashion by an author
who, like Bemelmans, excels in
whimsical wickedness. Mr.. Wechs-
berg put the gemutlichkeit on ice for
this one, however, which is both
savage and sophisticated.
After an early start as an amorous
adventurer in a little Czechoslo-
vakian town, Louis goes on to pre-
war Paris. Then he embarks for
New York, where he intends to
conquer America in three easy
lessons" His marriage to a suscep-
tible charm consultant whose living
room looks like a dying room" lands
him in the bosom of the "interna-
tional stowaway set," whose idea of
America is according to Mr.. Wechs-
berg, "a strange, hostile world where
strong tweedy men, members of
fashionable after shaving clubs were
romancing beautiful cosmetics
conscious women in all-electric
kitchens according to the rules OF
Emily Post"
| Having busted off the elegant
refugees. Mr. Wechsberg, seemingly
implacable. goes after the Pentagon
warriors, whose ranks Louis hastily
joins at the outset of the war. He
becomes aide to a general and col
lects ribbons with the same adde's
cent exuberance with which he had
once collected ties and girls" Louis
return to the continent is anything
but triumphant, and when his third
wife finally tells him off, she speaks
for every reader.
Mr.. Wechsberg allows himself to
become at least mildly mellow in
contemplating the naughty pleas
ures of neighborhood bar in a
Paris that was really gay: but for
the most part the laughs in "The
Continental Touch" are of a slightly
more vindictive variety than is
usually expected of the author of
Looking for Bluebird. M. Meg.

Chilling Drama
FEAR is THE PARENT

BY Mathilde Ferro. Doubleday
& Co.; S3J
A well-written study in morbid
psychology, Fear is the Parent"
describes the rising tension between
newly wed pair after the husband
has confessed to his bride the ig-
noble part he played in the death
of his mistress. The wife, spirited
and intelligent girl, finds her initial
tenderness turning to terror as she
begins to see further evidences OF
the psychopathic fear which has
overshadowed her husbands life
since a cold father instilled in him
an overwhelming sense of guilt and
inadequacy. This chilling domestic
drama is played out against an en-
tertaining and we'll observed back
ground of the intrigues that plague
the staff of a digest magazine edited
oy g. dictator who is something less
than benevolent. This is Mrs
Ferro's first novel and while its
subject limited, it suggests that
she is a controlled, witty writer
