Spires Of the Spirit
On Going All to Pieces

Colloquial phrases often reflect with
amazing accuracy the deepest facts of
personality. Recently friend Of mine
said sadly to me about friend Of his:
I'VE saw him 60 all to pieces"
A life which goes all to pieces sug-
gests exactly what happens to disor-
ganized personality that ceases to be q
unit and revolves no longer In quiet
harmony about some central pivot. It
becomes O life divided and fragmen-
and 50 cannot be wholesome; 1t cracks
up; literally, 1t goes to pieces.
When q heavenly body ceases to re-
volve around some greater center 1t
sometimes breaks up into innumerable
parts and. thus divided and out Of con-
troll. goes its erratic way through space.
When human personality ceases to
have fiery passion about which it re-
wolves. 1t. too, goes to pieces because
there Is no central power to grip and
hold 1t and to swing 1t about itself.
Many Of the cases filling our mem

been nothing left to hold them together.
It was before the day Of our modern
psychological jargon, which supplies us
with phrases with which we glibly label
things that we do not understand in
ourselves, that Whittier in moving lines
wrote Of the stresses and strains that
tear our very selves apart. dividing them

prayed for ordered lives" and that

ton for any personality. It is not
enough that lives be glued together with
temporary interests; they must be
pulled together by timeless verities.

Thanks for bringing together in The
Star the extended statement from q
State Department official and the cita-
tions from several sources which sup
port the system Of counting Presidents
which would make Gen. Eisenhower

formidable. but the arguments for 1t
are quite unconvincing to me.
To be sure. it may be the 34th
something r-other which Is coming up
on January 20, but the noun which
should follow that numeral, to make it
true, is not President (referring to
person. but some one of the several
words in our language which refer to
a period Of time in Office, of which an
individual person may have one or
more or even a fractional part of one.
These words differ sufficiently in their
customary meanings to fit different
systems of counting, and fairly uni
form usage should not be too hard to
establish.
The most prevailing usage of the
words appear to sanction saying that
we shall have on January 20 the be-
ginning of (a) the 42d presidential
term" in the four-year constitutional
sense which also fits the 42d ceremo-
nial Inauguration; CD the 49th "ad-
ministration" since seven Of those terms
were split by an incumbent's death;
and Co the 34th presidency" in the
sense of a separate, continuous occu-
ancy of the presidential Office.
Cleveland was unique in having a
first and later second presidency
with gap between, but he was still just
single person-the 22d in the series
in which Gen. Eisenhower will be the
33d. Wherein lies the logical objec-
ton" Gas Mr.. Perkins Of the State De-
partment called it, to having the 22d

as before him? Such numbering is the
perfectly logical and desirable sign that
an already numbered President came
back for another time in Office, and

Synod Fights Communism


Some weeks ago there were reports
in the daily press dealing with in
formation developed before the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations con-
cerning the Russian Orthodox Church.
These reports pointed out that the
church administration in Moscow has
become a captive and a tool Of the
Soviet government. While this is un-
doubtedly true, it is very unfortunate
that no mention was made either Of
the Russian Orthodox Church Outside
of Russia or the underground church
movement in the Soviet Union.
The Russian Synod Of Bishops Out
side Of Russia has consistent 30-year
record Of uncompromising opposition to
communism. The late Patriarch Tx
that his church administration would
be captured by an anti-religious govern
ment in 1920, issued special decree
which provided for an organization Of
clerics and laymen who were beyond
the reach of such government. Dur
ing the Russian Civil War (1918-1920).
In accordance with this decree, those
bishops and priests who were outside
the area of Red domination organized
an independent church administra-
tion. After the defeat of the anti-Com-
munist armies, this administration
moved to Yugoslavia where it was re-
organized into the present Synod. After
World War II. the Synod moved to this
country and its present address is 312
West 77th street, New York City. The
Synod has issued numerous appeals
protesting religious persecution in So
Wet Russia beginning with an appeal
made in 1922 to the International
Powers Conference in Genoa. In their
far-flung churches in practically every
country on this side Of the Iron Cur
tain, Russian Orthodox bishops and
priests have always been and are now
preaching against the practice and
doctrine of communism. And in the So
Wet Union itself under the persecution
of the Soviet government the true
believers have gone underground.

Holland Offers an Example

The encouraging economic and political
news from the Netherlands at the turn of the
year offers a bright contrast to the troubles
which continue to plague so many of the West
European nations.
Aided by a substantial even If temporary
flow of dollars from IndoneSia, for which it>acts
as international banker, The Hague government
has revealed itself in position to dispense with
American financial aid under the Mutual Secu-
rity Program during the first half of 1858. While
the formal manner of relinquishing this assist
ance has not yet been determined it
will be through voluntary" Dutch action or
through automatic cancellation on the part Of
the MSA-the cheering aspect is the reality of
the little country's economic good health. And
while the IndoneSian dividend" results from
an exchange and price relationship which may
not be permanent the backbone OF the Dutch
position today is found in the rehabilitation
and revival of the country's own industrial and
trade capacity.
Intensely organized and manned by dill
gent and highly skilled labor force, Dutch
industry traditionally has been one Of the most
efficient and profitable in the world. Along
with these qualities have been the parallel ones
of being good traders in the worlds market
places. Holland suffered catastrophically in the
war, almost seeming to be special target for
Nazi vengeance when the Germans destroyed
the great harbor at Rotterdam and stripped
the country during the occupation years OF
much of its industrial plant. Loss of its colo
nial position, particularly in the Far East.
after the war added to the burdens of revival.
That recovery has reached its present plane

character.

Revised Bible

Revisions in the 1852 Bible have
nothing to do with split infinitiveS and/
or punctuation, commas or periods. We
have far better scholarship and biblical
archives now than were available some
three centuries ago. It is not tweedling
the dees or the dums to eliminate mis-
translations and put words in current
usage. when necessary, to make it pos
sible for the modern reader to UNDER
stand what the original authors Of the
Bible actually wrote. They used no
commas and no periods, punctuation
marks having been invented centuries
after the Bible was written. Any re-
visions Of commas or periods, would
be no more than revising some one
elSe's revisionS.
Revising Is nothing new. Even the
Hebrew Church did it long before the
era Of Christianity. The Hebrew
Proverbs are taken from the Egyptian
Proverbs. When the manuscripts are
compared, 1t will be found that the
translator was influenced by his own
beliefs and doctrines and his disbelief
OF that Of the Egyptians We have no
manuscript Of the actual source of Job,
but If we did. the same thing un-
doubtedly would be found.
All our biblical manuscripts are re.
visions and at best all that is possible
to do. is to use our oldest manuscripts
to eliminate subsequent errors of the
subsequent revisionists. We have new or
fairly recently established churches.

It truly has been said Of the One

The so-called saints Of the early

are not those from whose natures
characteristic impulses were eradicated,
but whose normal powers and passions,
even anger and ambition, were taken
over by something higher-the Highest.

st. Paul got himself together, after
he gave one Of the most graphic ac-
counts in literature of man going all
to pieces. He found a power not his
own, and greater than his own, that
took hold of him and held him in its
deathless orbit, even as the sun holds
the earth. The power solved the bellig-
erent antagonisms of his divided self.
as he became a captive to the will of
Him who holds all things together. It
is that supreme truth which st. Angus
tine expressed for all the ages in his
immortal sentence, "In Thy will is our
peace" And Tennyson was echoing
that same truth when he wrote: "Our
wills are ours to make them thine"
A great religious leader, modern to
his finger tips, recently standing in one
Of the great pulpits Of America. pro-
claimed this same truth that ten thou

have proved: There are times when
man Is lost unless. acknowledging
that he is beaten. he turns to God and
asks for His grace and power"
In this day when so many tensions
and Illustrations tear human hearts into
pieces, from the despair of lives which
have become unmanageable, there is
one prayer above all others that needs
to be offered. The Psalmist offered it
hundreds and hundreds Of years ago,
as he craved power to keep him from
going to pieces and to help him pull
himself together. Here 1t is: Unite
my heart to fear Thy name"
