Religion In Books
By Roy L. TaWeS

WITH WINGS ASC EAGLES by
Helen Chappell White. Rinehart
and Company, New York. $2.75.
DR.. Ralph SOckman calls this book
"a testament of faith" A good mo-
ther tells the story of her conquest
over grief and fear and despair.
Her son, shot down over the Baltic
Sea, is the reason for her hard
struggle to believe. The terrific
fact of death finds her unprepared
to accept what has happened, and
to go on from there. Waiting on
the Lord she finds wings for her
spirit; wings of vision and fellow
ship and hope. Another world than
this one becomes real, and the sOr-
rows of this world are transformed
by the goodness of God. The great
change in outlook is caused by a
profound spiritual awakening. 'We
cannot live just in the present,
though we are always being urged
to do so. We are made of our pasts
and we reach forward to our fu-
lures. So in looking forward to
that other future, beyond the
bounds of the space and the time
we know, we are n0t-as / had
once thOught-being morbid, but
only fulfilling a very natural in
stinct. 1t is not death, after all.
which we are anticipating, but
life"
TENSIONS AND DESTINY nv
John Malcus Ellison. John Knox
Press, Richmond, Va. 81. An eIo-
quent and able Negro minister gives
us twelve of his messages, and thew
are very much worth the reading.
I'VE must learn to know and ac-
cept with absorbing conviction the
fact that we cannot love God un-
less we love our fellow men. UpOn
the basis of that spiritual insight
we must not only direct all con
duct and build all relationships
but must also pursue the quest of
all enduring values" The author
is president of Virginia Union Uni
versity, and widely known as a
leader and counselor among Young
people. His chapters make up one
OF the better books in sermonic lit
erature.
