FoithIess Man Is HumbIed

JERUSALEM, Jordan.-The
sun came out late in the
morning. The slate clouds, by
magic, were transmitted to
puffed vanilla. We walked
through st. Stephens Gate
Kelly and land on up the
narrow streets Of the walled
city. Jesus was here. Jesus is
here.
The Arabs walked behind
their tiny donkeys. The
women, wearing long white
wells, carried water urns on
their heads. Little ones. with
shy smiles, skipped on the
cobbleS of the Via Dolorosa.
Once, He carried a cross on
this road.
We walked this street,
ashamed Of our feet. Once.
when He walked it, he had
offered love and salvation to
all. We had nothing to offer
but curiosity. At the hill call
ed Golgotha, where He died,
there is a church called The
Holy Sepulchre.
1t Is a sagging thing Of
mongrelized architecture,
built and torn down and re-
built and destroyed by those
who adored Him and those
who despised Him. Few are
gifted to comprehend a love
which embraces all men and
excludes none.
THEY HAVE HIDDEN the
scene Of His devotion under
a dark apology Of church
which has timbers snoring
the walls. Inside, six sepa-
rate Christian sects have
divided the church among
them as Roman soldiers once
divided His garments. They
dispute who has exclusive
rights to the place where He
died, where they anointed
Him, where they laid Him to
rest behind a rolling stone,
where the cracks Of the
earthquake show in the
rocks. "
The Church of the Holy
Sepulchre cannot be rebuilt
because the Christians can
not agree on anything. The
holiest place in all Christen-
dom has the. odor Of damp
ness and decay within its
walls and 1t is stepped in a
gloom which cannot be
chased by lighted candles. He
had admoniShed them: Love
We one another" but the
lesson is too profoundly SIM
pie for anyone to understand
except a child.
In the Moslem Quarter,
Arab boys shoot marbles with
rolled balls Of putty. They
kneel in front of the Wailing
Wall, where once Jews wept
because the Emperor Hadrian
would not permit them inside
their own temple. Today the
Arabs claim that they are
prosecuted because the State
of Israel took their farms
and diSpossessed them.

street from the Church Of
the Nativity.
Here, the infant Jesus was
born.
This church Is also divided.
The Greek Church has the
main altar and an ornate
railing is torn. They claim
that the Armenian priests did
it after an argument over
who has what rights to the
place. None are so mighty
as little men.
Below the altar is a little
grotto and the theologians
and archeologiSts believe that
this is the true manger. There
is a gold star in the floor
where, presumably, Jesus was
born, and, q few feet away,
there is a spot where they
believe the manger rested.
near the stalls Of the animals.
Up in the courtyard, a
German man and his wife
debated whether it was worth
while, at their ages, to bend
and stoop and 60 below to
the stable. The woman said
she was tired, decided not to
go. Her husband shrugged. Il

said, but we have come far.

He did. At the manger, he
stood, empty Of soul and
mind. He was ready to 60
when an Arab woman came
in.
SHE WAS YOUNG. In her
arms was her baby and in
her eyes were her tears. The
infant was emaciated and
fretful. The mother took her
baby and, before anyone
could stop her. laid him on
the spot where, a long time
ago. another baby had been
born.
She prayed in Arabic, a
sing-Song petition to some
one who would understand
how much she wanted her
child to live. Then she picked
him up, put his little head
over her shoulder. and left.
When the German pilgrim
got back to the street, his
wife was powdering her nose.

FAMOUS FABLES

STRUGGLE: Multimillion-

Carnegie retired from busi-
ness in 1901, to devote all his
time to philanthropy.
He was determined to give
away all his money. He soon
found out, however, that this
was a more difficult task than
it had been to make it. The
intelligent distribution of such
an immense fortune proved
to be j., a monumental task.
After ten years, during
which time he gave away
millions, he still had $780,
100000 left. Desperate, he
consulted his legal adviser.
I'm 76 years DID," he said.
Il haven't much longer to

How to

Ulcer Problems Vary
By DR.. PETER J. sTElNcRoHN

Problems about ulcer come
in various sizes and shapes.
Two letters illustrate this:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I've
been in the hospital for about
a month. I had a series of x
rays which showed I have a
peptic ulcer. The doctor put
me on a very strict diet.
While on this diet I felt ter
rible. I went off the diet for
a day to see what would hap
pen. and I really felt good.
What am I to do? I was told
by friends not to baby an ul-
Ger. Is that right?-Mrs. C.
IF 1T WERE the other way
around, I'd say. "Stick to your
diet" But If you're actually
more comfortable on a regu-
lar diet-and rebel at milk,
cream and other bland foods
Il know Of no scientific rea-
son why you can't eat what
you like as long as you are
more comfortable. What's
bad for the next fellow may
be good for you. We mustn't
fall into the trap Of treating
an ulcer patient "by the
book" and not making allow
ances for individual differ
ences.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I suf-
fered for 20 agonizing years,
living on a special diet and
medicines. Nothing helped
me, not even the new drugs.

could be considered as an
atomic clock and the moon
which circles it as a gravita-
tional clock. 1T is found that
the moon has been slowing
down in its revolution about
the earth by an amount con-
sistent with the assumption Of
a steadily decreasing gravita-
tional interRction," he said.
However, DR.. Dicke admitted
that there are other possible
explanations for the showdown.
Not in Einsteiu Theory
Albert Einsteln's theory Of
gravitation does not take into
account the idea that gravity's
force may be weakening due to
expansion of the universe, he
pointed out. But, he added:
There are reasonable altern-
atives to EinStein's theory Of
gravitation. and the space
sciences hold great promise Of
providing new and important
experiments"
One interesting experiment.
to check on current gravita-
tional theory would use q,
rapidly spinning top in orbit,
with continual observation
being made on the orientation
Of its spin axis. Another would
use radar tracking Of an
artificial planet. and would
compare the observed path Of
the planet with the course
theory would dictate it should
take. DR.. Dicke added.
