Ipublicans, the Roman soldiers
the wayward Herodian youths
with their Greek manners, woven
Ipeploses and broad -brimmed
hats.
Repent" he pleaded. Lay
bare your own infirmities, and
thus be whole. Open your eyes
to mans frailty, and fine
strength. Face the weakness Of

girded with truth.
For He cometh in Whom all
flesh shall know the salvation

There on the river bank, thi.
coarsely garbed desert prophet
dark of skin and lean from year.
of living on locusts and wilc
honey, first raised the standard
for his younger cousin, Jesus.
WIN LancinE WOf0S
From his solitary haunts, thu
Baptist came forth with passion
and lancing words, with no awe
for rank or station, roaring
against the proud. the cheats
the selfish rich. the doers Of
violence.
1t was a remote cry, on the
edge of a dangerous world, OF
muddled converging civilizations
Iof hodgepodge doctrines and be-
IliefS, rent with discordant teach
lings and collapsing ideals.
Surely. unless men ceased from
their cruelties and vain-glories,
they would be crushed by the
inner weight of evil. But the
Baptist saw succor and restora- :
tion in the One to come. Great
ness was required.
The Baptist Rebelled
Against it all. the Baptist re-
belled. grieving at the millions
in slavery, victims Of war or
debt, toiling in copper mines,
bitches and households - about
three to every citizen. Some wore
iron balls.
The pagan tides Of Greece. de-
cadent for 300 years or more
since Aristotle and the Odes of
Pindar. invaded all the lands
around, extolling the body and
denying its kindship to the soul.
Polygamy abounded in Judea
and other lands. Men divorced
their wives at will. Young girls,
like Greeks. with marjoram on
their hair and alkonet stain on
their lips, danced nude in coast
al cities.
In arenas near Jerusalem, ami
mails am ed in massive
slaughter to entertain the multi
tudes, and Herod kings made
sports of swords and battleaxes
Heavy Tribute
Princes and priests exacted
their heavy tribute a third OF
a farmers grain, crown taxes.
temple taxes. stores and cattle
seized for war, levies for first
fruits. gratitude and guilt, tithes
and second tithes and many
sacrifices.
At the temple. the noise OF
iostling crowds mingled with
bawling cattle in their pens or
on the slabs, the stencil Of smoke
and burning fat, the cries Of
hawkers and money-changers.
Amid the ranking forces, Ju-
daism. the olden beacon Of the
one God, was split into contend
ing forces. fioundering to pre-
serve faith. The Baptist quit the
din and clutter-left his priest
ly home behind.
He spurned the puhed UP
Pharisees, their precise. formal
fixing OF the law. With their
artful scribes. they had gained
ascendancy over the Sadducees.

take a part-time job and move
to as small and inexpensive an
apartment as we can find. If we
are very careful, we can save
enough to supplement our ole
age security and could retire
without having to worry about
being a burden on the kids.
MY husband. however, won't
agree to this plan. He is very
impractical and wants to indulge
in expensive hobbies and take
luxury vacations. He was never
one to worry about the future
and that's why we're in a tough
spot now.
Hugh K.-"Charlotte has al
ways had a miserly streak in
her. The children never would
have had much fun If 1t were
up to her.
Its true I have expensive
hobbies like photography and
collecting rare coins, but these
things make life worthwhile.
haven't seriously INDUCED in
hobbies up until now and / want
to enjoy them while I can.
"The way I look at it is we
ought to live now and enjoy
ourselves I don't like a cramped
apartment. I like a place where
we can entertain and I want
space for a darkroom for my
photography.
I'VE are both in good health
and can enjoy life. In 10 years
we may not be able to do these
things. What's the sense of
living in the future? I don't
want to be a burden on the
children either. but we can live
cheaply in our old age instead Of
now"
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Psychologists and other ex-
Iperts on the problems Of aging
and retirement would 90 along
with Huge's plan rather than
Charlotte's.
Hugh is really being much
more realistic and practical
about the future when he thinks
in terms of expanding his in
terests and getting more instead
of less out of life. The kind
of cramped life Charlotte pro-
Ijects is deadening.
BY the time this couple would
be ready to retire and enjoy
their leisure. they would find
that their outlook has become so
marrow they would have little to
live for. Perhaps they would not
be financial burden on their
children, but they could become
Ia psychological burden.
Their children would be very
unhappy to see their parents ex-
periencing a listless old age.
The total retirement Charlotte
hopes for is also impractical and
leads to an empty old age. Her
plan to take a part-time job is a
good one. but it would be better
if she thought in terms Of keep
ing that job as long as she is able
to handle 1t.
If she did. she would have less
worry about saving now. Char
lotte should also follow her hus-
bands example and cultivate
some interests Of her own.
