Mr.. Wallace Blaine took the letter out OF his
pocket. He still felt uneasy about it. He had
written it almost three weeks ago. He had
gone over it again and again. hesitating to
mail it; for mailing it would mean burning his
bridges behind him. Now his troubled eyes
once more considered the opening paragraph:
My dear MIR. Clark:
This is to submit my resignation as pastor
of the Community Church. ! hope you will
not regard my decision as ungateful deeply
appreciate the many kindnesses that have
been shown me through the seventeen years it
has been my privilege to occupy our pulpit.
They are years / shall never forget.
resign for reasons that lie wholly within my
!, self, for do not believe any pastor can ade-
ouately serve his fellow men when he has lost
faith in them"
Was this part too blunt? The Reverend
MIR. Wallace Blaine looked out OF the planes
window, down at the bleak wastes OF the
Dakota Badlands His lean. middle-aged face
was taut. Mailing this letter would be like
cutting something out of himself.
He HAD hoped that the four-day ministers
conference in Chicago. sort of vacation.
might ease the disillusionment that had so
long been creeping into him. But the confer
ence hadn't changed anything at all. He had
found himself impatient with the platitudes
old DR.. Courtney repeated year after year:
LET us thank God for the good that is inm man.
even while we recognize his weaknesses.
Words like that were drugs. The only speech
that had really stirred him had been DR..
Woods Straightforward charge that today too
many men, while giving lip service to God,
worshipped themselves first No fool. DR..
Wood He saw things as they were. Blaine's

eyes went back to the letter. reading the
bitterness he himself had set down:
What are the primary things for which
man strives in our time? A whopping big
income, larger home than his neighbor's,
better car, more expensive clothes. Such
achievements are his measures of success.
"As for the future, he is concerned only
with what he calls his security. To win it ne
lives by the philosophy, if l don't look after
myself, who will? And to preach to him OF
other standards is futile"
SOMETHING nudged Wallace Blaines shoul-
der. making him glance aside from the letter
The fat man beside him was asleep, and his
bald head had lolled over to brush against
Blaine's arm. Blaine looked at the heavy
countenance, thinking with touch OF dis
taste that this man symbolized the very faults
he had outlined in his letter. That had been
clear even at the Chicago airport.
The fellow had hardly dropped into his seat
when he had embarrassed the stewardess with
his resentment: What does man have to do
to get rear seat so he can stretch his legs!
Fight everybody to get in first? When made
my reservation asked them to put an 'Occu-
pied card on one of these seats. Seems to me
use this line often enough to get some serviceT
Yes Blaine thought. the mans selfishness
was typical. And his face had the hard. deter
mined, almost ruthless cast you saw so often.
especially in men who were smashing their
way to success 1t was the living confirmation
of all Blaines feelings And as he put the
letter back into his pocket he knew he would
mail it as soon as the plane landed. 1t had to
be done. He leaned back and shut his eyes.
That was when the gasps of the other pas
sengers made him start. He looked up to see
that many OF them were looking outward. He
turned his head. and his body stifened with
shock.
Flames were sweeping back from the engine
at his right!
He started to rise He stared around He
could see fear in the faces. A blonde young
woman in the rear, holding baby in her
arms, cried out shrilly.
