SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
The Difference
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

AS December IS draws near.
certain historic facts ought
to be held in grateful re-
membrance. In a booklet
entitled IF He Had Not
Come" an English author
sums UP the things for which
the world is indebted to the
Babe Of Bethlehem. Here in
vivid pages the writer gazes
disconSolately at an earth
tragically vacant Of what, in
this goth century, matters
most.
This Christmas Spire is to
remind us all Of the differ
ence Christ has made, and is
makingl According to the
eternal calendar in which
1000 years is but as one day,
the most momentous birth
announcement Of the ages
was made less than two days
ago. That word made flesh
in a human body was not, of
course, to stay in the manger.
The Holy Mother who how
cred over the little Lord Jesus
asleep in the hay had been
assured by mystic voices that
Of His Kingdom there would
be no end.
The familiar designation
BIC. and AID. Is not just an
act Of reverent obeisance by
those who call Christ, Lord,
but is rather the instructive
expression of the worlds
deep = rooted consciousness
that with Christ, as never
before or since, a new be-
ginning was made, a new era
opened. Here we can but
touch the fringe of a limitless
subject which stretches out
to the far horizons. In four
graphic lines, Matthew Arnold
draws a picture of the world
to which Christ came:
on that hard pagan tDorld
Disgust and secret lodthing
fell,
Deep DeGrineSS and stated
lust
Made human life a he'll.
Think first of the differ
ence which Christ has made
in our thoughts of God. If
He is no longer an angry,
far-off deity needing to be APP
peased-if we have thoughts
of Him that are pure and
tender. loving and true; if
as the moving spiritual de-
clares, HE holds the whole
world in His hands; if we
can believe that within His
mighty arms in His infinite
care, there is room for the
poor and the weak and the
outcaSt of every nation: if
our WEAKNESS can lean on
Him, and our loneliness find
refuge in Him; If we and all
men, when we pray, may look
up and say "Father"-then it
is to Christ that we owe it.
And as we celebrate Christ's
birthday, think Of the differ
ence He has made in today's
sense Of the worth and dig
nifty of every individual life.
1t is just in this that one
historian tells us we find the
key to the difference between
ancient and modern civiliza-
tion-"M o dern civilization
aims at the common veal of
the people; ancient civiliza-
ton thought only Of the in
terest of the favorite few
When Christ was born in a
world dominated by Rome,
in that iron empire there
were 100000 people. more
than half Of whom were
slaves. That is to say that
three out Of every five men
and women that Paul passed
on the streets Of the imperial
city were slaves with less
rights in the eyes Of the
law than a dog has on the

-
We all know the Saturday
Evening Post has been on
shaky legs but it hardly
seems worth jeopardizing the
welfare of 1876 million Amer
leans by undermining the po-
sition Of our Ambassador at
the U. N. in order to sell
a few more copies Of the
magazine.
Nor does it seem fair to
Mr.. Stevenson, who, whether
one agrees with him or not,
has spent many more years
and expended much more eff
fort to save us all from world
catastrophe than either of
the so called journalists,
MssrS. Bartlett and Alsop.
Jane A. Woods.
The President of the
United States is called on to
sacrifice many personal free
doms, not the least of which
is freedom Of association.
That the President can i'll
afford to m a intain close
friendships with members of
the press is sharply pointed
up by the repercussions fol-
lowing the Alsop-Bartlett &C
count of the Cuban crisis
which. to most people, bears
the invisible White House
seal Of approval" because its
authors are known to be
"close to the President"
This closeness may be an
asset to a pair of journalists
trying to sell an inside"
story, but it has proved a
serious liability to the Presi-
dent and his administration.
The damage that has been
done cannot be undone, but
the exercise of discretion
should prevent repetitions.
Lola Oberman
So
I am In strong disagree
ment with your recommen-
dations in your editorial en-
titled who Managed the
Leak?" You close the article
with the following sentence:
"FBI agents should be as
signed Immediately to inter-
view the Saturday Evening
Post reporters in an effort
to find out who said what,
and why"
This smacks strongly Of
police state tactics and I am
amazed at The Star advo-
eating such a policy. This
matter poses no danger to
national security and If Mr..
Stevenson has been libeled
in anyway let him seek re-
course through the courts.
Chester II. Poole.
Editors note: The COM
ment about the FBI agents
was a tongue-in-cheek refer
ence TO recent quizzings Of
reporters and others by Sc
curly agents in connection
with news leaks. The Star is
no advocate Of the police

SO Years Ago

Congress was asked so years
ago to limit the President of
the United States to q single
six-year term. The Star of
December 8, 1912, reported
such a resolution had been in
troduced by Senator John d. A.,
Works. Republican, Of Cali.

to elect a President to a Sec

OF political corruption, neglect
Of official duty and betrayal
OF trust on the part Of public
servants. II a President were
limited to one term he would
need no political army. AS a
political leader he would be
useless. He would have no
motive or desire, other than
to do his duty as President .
and make for himself an
honorable record as a public
official. We have had some
honorable men in the White
House who would have con-
demned the use Of patronage
by others for their political
advancement. but not one of
them who has been candi-

willingly .profited by such
conditions. :"
The old-time saloon, with
It's bat-wing doors, was losing
some OF Its glamor so years
ago. The Star OF December

city fathers had approved

Men! If you want sex appeal,
comb your hair with a towel.
Actor Brad Dexter is a
handsome, virile bachelor
who has squired many of the
Hollywood beauty queens.
He's also blessed with a good
crop of hair.
Then came a role as Yul
Brynner's Cossack sidekick in
"TaraS Bulba." The part
called for a cue ball head
like Brynner's.
II thought of getting a
hairpiece to wear away from
the picture, but it was too
much nuisance so I appeared
in public with my ead
shaved" says Dexter.
Being a bachelor in a girl
heavy town, always thought
I was lucky with women, but
nothing like I've been since
I became a baldy.
I'm not Dragging, but for
the first time in my life I'm
being pursued instead of pur-
suing. I may have to let my
hair grow out to fight them
off"
Dexter said the secret of
bald-headed sex appeal is to
shave off the sideburnS too.
