KISSING OUR THUMBS

"Some people are like a biIIboard-an
imposing front and vacant lot be-
hind"
In the shadow of the tumbling
walls of Melrose Abbey, Scotland,
we chanced to meet two American
women who had just crossed the
continent from Rome. The passing
of the years has erased from my
memory the content of much of
their chatter, but | do recall ra-
ther vividly an incident they relat-
ed as the high point CT tkelr stay
in the eternal city. 1t centered in
their joining group that was be-
ing formally presented to the Pope.
Their previous conversation hav-
ing disclosed that they were not
Catholics but Protestants, | was
brash enough to ask, "But what
did you do when the Pope held out
his hand to be kissed, a symbol
of the loyalty of the people of his
church % 1--WE fooled him., one
of the ladies replied, 1--WE put our
thumbs over his hand and kissed
our own thumbs"
Now | am in no position to know
how much of their related expert
ence was fact and how much was
a figment of their imagination, but
what they told takes ones think
ing into an interesting direction. 1t
makes one to evaluate anew cer-
tain forms of human conduct and
IL I, Of &c cin
how. much rises little above the
level of kissing our thumbs"
namely, a granting of outward tok-
ems of respect and withholding the
heart.
In further Illustration of this
thought I bring now tale which
finds its locale in the hill country
of Scotland close to the abbey
where my conversation with the
two American women took place.
Here a farmer was seriously dis
turbed by the fact that a fine field
of clover was being eaten off by
some animal. No straying cow was
seen, and yet the clover continued
disappearing. One Sunday morn
ing. before daybreak the owner
went out to his field and found his
neighbor's cow busily feeding
there. Around her neck was very
long rope, and on the doorstep
nearby sat his neighbor holding II
one hand the end of the rope and in
the other hand an open Bible in
which he was reading. Are you
trying to make them square. Dun
can?' asked the farmer II tell
We, it cannot he done Ye cannot
square stealing my clover by read
ing Gods book.

Having developed the thought
of kissing our thumbs" this far,
my memory leads me to take from
my shelves book by Marry EN-
erson Fosdick titled Living I'm
der Tension" and finding related
there the story of Chinese bandit
whose solving of dilemma in his
career of villainy gives further IL
lustration of what am trying to
say. This bandit, namely, was fell
ed by shot in a clash with some
soldiers and was carried to a mis-
sionary hospital of the Methodist
Church. Nursed to complete re-
covery there, he was SO grateful
that he vowed that never again
would he rob a Methodist. The
news of that VOW quickly gained
wide circulation. Whenever,
therefore, anyone was halted by the
bandit he sought immunity from
robbery by claiming to be a Meth
odist.
This made the income from this
bandits thievery so distrsssiGgly
poor that he went back tc the hos
pital to ascertain how he might
know a Methodist when he met
one. They informed him that a
Methodist would always know the
Lords Prayer ard the Ten Com
mandment- The bandit, there
fore, memorized these in Chinese
and hereafter at each encounter
he would demand of the intended
victim, you recite the Ten Com
mandments and the Lords Prayer
or heaven help youi"
such external tests of Chris
tianity," adds Fosdick, 'are easily
translated into Western life." In
deed, they are. We know them
well-these superficial conformities
to conventional religion without
bringing our lives into harmony
with them, this kissing of our
thumbs" this outward obeisance to
rituals and confessions without
yielding to the heart of God. Too
much of this, / fear, has been wo-
ven into the fabric of what is
known as Christianity today.
And what shall we do about it?
Well, instead of kissing our
thumbs" let us cultivate the fine
art of turning them down. Let US
turn down our thumbs on putting
up a false front in religion; let US
turn down our thumbs on the dis
play of piety we do not possess:
let us turn down our thumbs on
every form of hypocrisy and sham.
Instead. let US aim to attain that
high standard of speech and con-
duct that is given expression in
the words of an old Latin proverb.

ther Than To Seem"
