SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Be 1t Resolved
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the Omitted states Senate

SeD S@~S AAAOt AAAtAAtAA Va WIG
new year comes to its mid
way, it is the time to ask,
How fares 1t with the Shin
ing resolves with which we
greeted 1882" Are they still
FURNISHED, or are they tar
nished? Are our New Years
resolutions proving golden
stairs to higher things, or
are we still on the low road
Of the year that has passed?
A cynical warning adage
has been handed down from
generation to generation.
Its taunting reminder for
failing and faltering human
ity Is that the way to perdi-
ton is paved with good deter
limitations broken. The prov
erb about the pavement to
Hades is of course but q
dangerous half truth. The
other half is that the road
to Heaven Is paved with good
resolutions kept.
When there is q new face
at the door, it is a proverbial
time for the better angels
Of our nature to take the floor
and present a bill Of improve
ments for adoption on be-
half Of a better record in the
new year as 1t begins to un-
fold its unsullied pages. At
such times an honest inven-
tory Of personality defeats
and defects Is sure to bring
a melancholy admission Of
past failures. Of surrender to
the worst and Of betrayals of
the possible best. Always
there is a depressing sense
Of the irrevocability Of the
record made, Of beckoning
things unheeded-of things
hoped for unaccomplished.
There comes sweeping over
the spirit the devastating
finality Of what I have writ
ten I have written" There
is the accusing consciousness
which no remorse or tears
can cancel by even half q
line.
But the verdict as to what
we have done with our time,
and with ourselves, plants
within the aspiring part Of
US, where Gagged ideals still
beat their wings. q determine
ton to mount from our baser
selves to higher things.
But there are 50 many
selves within this puzzling
enigma we call ourselves"
As one suggests in an auto
biographical comment, what
we seem to have within us is
not one unified individual
but, rather, an unruly mob"
Within each one Of us are
tendencies to follow the line
Of least resistance. disdain-
ing obedience and discipline.
There is within each Of us
that which panders to the
Utilization of some present
pleasure, regardless Of the
toll 1t may demand in unborn
tomorrow. But within there
Is another self which argues
the claims Of the future by
presenting for adoption the
resolution to live laborious
days and to scorn delights
for some golden goal set be.
fore. There are urges to
march breastforward, push
ing on beyond the allure
ments Of today to the rewards
Of the future.
The January changing Of
the guard always raises the
pertinent question as to
habits and directions. Where
will the road I am now fol-
lowing bring me? For it is
solemnly true that what we
will one day be. we are now
becoming. With 1860 now as
obsolete as last years bird
nests, voices are being raised
in the town meeting Of the
unsatisfied inner life. It is

A new wrinkle for keeping
milady beautiful was ad-
vanced so years ago. The

a straight face as it reported
from New York: "The Wom-

wrinkles come. More necks
are spoiled by this single
crooked kissing letter than by

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 10
Arnold Palmer said he was
sorry the fourth round of the
Masters was washed out yes
terday and Gary Player said
he was glad, but neither ap-
peared very positive.
The setting is the same today
for the first carryover in the
Is years of the championship,
Player leading Palmer by four
strokes at 206 with one round
to go. Paul Harvey and anna
teur Charley Coe are six strokes
back of Player at 212. The
same pairings and relative
starting times were in effect
and television of the windup
has been rescheduled for S pm.
(WTOP-9 in Washington.
Sunshine and a brisk wind
combined to dry out the Au-
gusta National course before
today's start at noon.
Everybody agreed that it
would have been impossible to
continue yesterday. Late after
noon showers were predicted,
but it started raining shortly
after 10 o'clock, stopped for
few minutes, and then let go.
Tornado Warnings Up
Tornado warnings were up
for the area, and the clouds
appeared heavier and lower
and moved faster. AS the rain
increased in intensity and the
wind whipped it, creeks started
rising, fairways became small
rivers, and the green's became
covered on the low holes.
Play finally was suspended at
$3.50, and the round called off
at 4:04. BY that time it was
obvious that the Masters would
not be decided on Sunday. The
weather Bureau reported
storms for $50 miles in every
direction.
Player was standing on the
18th tee, even par for the day,
but unhappy over missing a
2-foot putt on IL.
Palmer had played the front
in 81, a great nine holes of
golf, made up Of seven pars
and brides on the two par
fives. He had driven off the
10th, a crushing tee shot that
disappeared into the pelting
rain.
Picked Up Two Strokes
So he had picked up two
of the four strokes on Player,
but still had the tough 10th
and 11th to play. You don't
often make brides on those two
monstrous par fours. You just
hope to make pars.
Nobody else had made
move. Harney, playing with
Player, was one over for IL
holes and Coe was out in 80,
two over par. 1t was the same

ST. LOUIS, APRIL 10 (AP)
The Boston Celtics, just one
game from another pro basket
ball championship, have their
best team-ever" and one
reason is the clubs only rookie,
Tom (Satcn Sanders.
Bob Cousy, the Celtics' great
backliner in his 11th season,
put it this way:
This is the best basketball
team ever assembled. We didn't
have Sanders and Jim Loscut-
off in the playoffs last year.
The Jones boys (Sam and K. c.
are better.
Now we have a great bench
and that makes this our best
club" Boston is on the verge
OF its fourth National Basketball
Association title in five years.
Petit Scores 40
Sanders hit 10 of IA shots and
scored % points-the same
number as Cousy-aS the Gel
tics belted st. Louis, 119-1O4
yesterday on the Hawks home
court. Bob Petit had 40 points
for st. Louis, but little help.
1t gave Boston a 81 grip in
the best-of-seven series going
into the fifth game tomorrow
night at the Boston Garden.
Boston Coach Red Auerbach
admits he was somewhat dubi-
Gus about Sanders when he
