The Christian Secret

III happiness is secret, 1t is an
open one. You do not have to join
some mysterious order, there are
no dues, you do not have to make
some tremendous pilgrimage to
learn the secret of true happiness.
1t Is secret known to Christians,
and the Christian brotherhood is
no closed fraternity, its doors are
wide open as the gate of heaven.
Paul put the main point into three
Greek words which in English
mean: ITO live is Christ" What
ne meant his life showed plainly.
For one thing, he looked out at
the world through the eyes Of
Christ Nothing could quite dis
courage him, take the heart out of
him; for he was as sure as Christ
is sure that this is Gods world and
He is the ruler yet" His hands
were Christ's hands, his work was
Chrisfs work. One of Jesus last
words was that my joy may be
in you" Paul knew what that
meant. Furthermore, Pauls whole
self was devoted to Christ He
knew that his life. uncertain as it
was TO himself, was not uncertain
TO God. He knew himself to be
gripped by the power Of the Son Of
God He knew he was son Of des-
tiny~not his own destiny alone but
Christ's. So he could face the fu-
ture as our Christian poet Whit
tier faced it.

Why Aren't All Christians

A priZe-Winnlng photograph was

No, the truth is that plenty Of

not dare to believe it. They say,

Handicaps OF HAPPINESS

That very practical friend of God
and man, Saint Paul. is a solid
example Of how true happiness can
prevail over the most dishearten.
ing handicaps, Many a man in his
situation would say TO himself.
Happiness is Just not possible for
me. Ii things were only different,
i could be happy. But consider the
handieaps Of Pauls happiness. He
was Jew in the Roman Empire.
and a Christian among Jews-a
member of minority group either
way you take it. He was in a sit
uation where his future was most
uncertain. If Paul had waited for
security he never would have
known happiness to his dying day
He was never well man, at the
time of the Philippian letter he
was prisoner. Freedom, health
security, poWer-he lacked all
these But he did not lack happi-
ness. II Paul could find happiness,
so can any one.

"A petite, dark-eyed visitor
from Pakistan, grateful for the
State Department exchange pro-
gram which brought her to this
country for three months, hopes
to express her gratitude by show
ing her country's folk dances on
television.
She is Begun Rashid Ahmed,
secretary Of the Federation of
University Women of the All
Pakistan Women's Association
and q teacher Of English liter
ature and composition at the
Central Government College for
Women in Karachi, the Paki-
stan capital.
It is Begun Ahmed's educa-
tional work which brought her
the trip to this country. Her
interest in her nations dances,
both classical and folk, is Sim
ply a Sideline-what you would
call in this country, your hobby, i"
she declares.
The Begun does not wish to
appear on television herself. st
would like to train a few Of your
young people to do the dance, +"
she said. Perhaps four or six.
They could learn one of the SIM
pie dances in q few days. And
the costumes could be impro-
vised. Any Of your dresses with
full, rather long skirts and a
snug top would do. could loan
each Of them a scarf for her
head. The only other thing they
would need would be a string
Of bells for each ankle. We dance
barefooted, you know"
Eosy for Teen-Aeers
Begun Ahmed declares that
Americans. particularly teen
ayers, learn Pakistani dances
quite readily. A group of % from
the American Embassy in
Karachi currently are in a class,
where the Begun occasionally
has helped out with translations.
She explained that men teachers
do not speak English, and every
once in a while call upon her to
explain some intricate point.
The Begun hopes she may
meet some television people with
her husband, who also is here on
a three month exchange pro-
gram. He Is deputy director gen.
eral Of Radio Pakistan, the agen-
cy which controls broadcasting
in PakiStan just as British

Retirinq as Cable Guardian

Western Unions ocean bottom
private eye," who has plumbed
the depths of the main paths
of tranS-oceanic cables for the
last % years, is retiring at the
end of this month.
He is RuSsian-born Capt.
Vladimir p. deSmitt, officer of
the Cars navy. who survived
the sinking of his battleship in
the Russo-Japanese War to be-
come one of the worlds best
known oceanographers.
In applying his scientific
knowledge of the ocean mys-
teries to the maintenance and
repair of Western Unions cables,
he has been a chief trouble
shooter as we'll as private-eye.
Among his records are studies
of earthquakes in the Atlantic
of a nature so violent as to
dwarf the potentialities of an
atomic bomb.
Capt. deSmitt operates from
the New York headquarters of K.
Bruce Mitchell, Western Union
vice president in charge of inter-
national communications. There
and through mis- agents, he
checks ocean currents, depths,
seaquakes, storms, meteorologi-
cal conditions and sunspot ac-
tivity as related to the earth's
geophysical conditions. The re-
suits of such studies are applied
to keeping the ocean cables open
for 24-hour business and in
