The
Rambler
Fries to
Cotch the Spirit
By GEORGE KENNEDY

For several seasons, as The
Day approached, the Ram
bier has tried to write an ap-
'propriate piece.
He is afraid that he has
taken this little Self-asSign-
.ment so seriously that each
one could have been entitled
"a Christmas Sermon"
It has made him humble
less critical of efforts from
the pulpit. For 1t is very diffl-
cult to find fresh words for a
story that has inspired such
brilliant Interpretation.
The other day in casual
reading, he was reminded
that q very talented author
had written an essay with
Just that title.
He was Robert Louis Ste
= venson. The author of "A
'Childs Garden of Verses"
|"Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde"
and Treasure Island" was a
Tnoralist.
He would have liked to be
an out-and-out Bohemian.
He tried hard in Paris in his
young manhood. But, as he
began to be published, he
could not and did not want
to restrain the urge to give
his ideas about what was
right and what was wrong.
He had to. He was a grand
son Of the Rev. Louis Balfour,
who was both Scottish and
Presbyterian.

FRIENDSHIPS fall
through, health fails, weari-
ness assails him; year after
year, he must thumb the
hardly varying record Of his
own weakness and folly. It
is q friendly process Of de-
tachment. When the time
comes that he should 60,
there need be few illusions
left about himself. Here lies
one aoho meant toell, tried q
little, tailed much: Surely
that may be his epitaph, of
which we need not be
ashamed.
"Nor viii he complain at
the summons which calls a
defeated soldier from the
field: defeated, ay, If he were
Paul or Marcus AureliuS! but
If there is still one inch of
fight in his old spirit, undis-
honored.
The faith which sustained
him in his lifelong blindness
and life : long disappoint-
ment, will scarce even be re-
uuired in this last formality
of laying down his arms.
Give him a march with his
old bones; there, out Of the
glorious sun-colored earth,
out of the day and the dust
and the ecstasy-there goes
another Faithful Failure!"
Consolation? Perhaps. But
It seems to be a little Scot
tish, a little dour. Impenitent
as it is, it seems to be some
thing more appropriate for
Lent.
The Rambler should have
written this Christmas SER
mon himself. He would have
risked repetition and lack of
originality by choosing for
his text the angelic message
TO the shepherds, "Glory to
God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward
men"
Then with American opti-
mism he would have empha-
sized our confidence that the
10y, hope and love of the
: coming feast will make us
better, and our resolutions
On the following weekend,

EARLY IN HIS CAREER
he wrote the moral treatises
entitled "Virginibus Pue-
risque ITO Girls and Boys"
In q much-quoted para
graph he wrote:
''The world must return
some day to the word duty
and be done with the word
reward"
He may have helped.
School teachers still read
that to the young. But the
world today seems no nearer
to giving up the idea of re-
ward for the idea Of duty
than it was In the latter part
Of the last century.
In "a Christmas Sermon"
he wrote:
"To look back upon the
past year, and see how lit
tie we have striven and to
what small purpose, and how
often we have been coward
ly and hung back, or temer-
ariots and rushed unwisely
in; and how every day and
all day long we have trans
gressed the law of kindness
1t may seem a paradox, but
in the bitterness Of these dis
coveries, a certain conSola-
ton resides.
Life Is not designed to
minister to a mans vanity.
He goes upon his long busi-
ness most of the time with a
hanging head, and all the
time like a blind child. Full
Of rewards and pleasures as
it is-so that to see the day
break. or the moon rise, or to
meet q friend, or to hear the
dinner call when he is hum
CRY, fills him with surprising
ioys-tl1is world is yet for
him no abiding city.

1t is not necessarily a pre-

It has been reported in re-

that state, or the reaction at
any rate, has been spotty.

about it. In many cases the

ADA Suggests
Congress Assist
Reconstruction
By the Associated Press

Americans for Democratic
Action wants Congress to sup
port "a reconstruction Of our
whole approach to national and
international affairs" Z
The ADA said the Kennedy
administration has pledged it
self to such a reconstruction.
Samuel H. Beer, Harvard
University professor who is ma
tional ADA chairman, stressed
what he called a new design in
American foreign and domestic
policy. He spoke at a news
conference yesterday announc-
ing ADA legislative priorities in
the coming Congress.
Listed as the first big prob
lem was restoration of the Ma
ton to economic health.
ADA also asked Congress to
require segregated school dis
tricts to file plans for good
faith compliance with the Su-
preme Courts decree against
racial separation in public
classrooms.
The organization asked for a
national peace agency. a youth
conservation corps and q "real''
food for peace program, among
other things.
Mr.. Beer urged efforts to
make the Atlantic alliance "a
real community" instead Of q
purely military organization.
