in her will, wrote that she
had never known anybody
"in this world who could be
compared to my father"
Spoiled Daughter
Her father was the great
Swiss banker, Jacques Neck
er, who was consulted by
both monarchy and Revolu-
ton. He educated his only
daughter to a prodigious de-
gree. He spoiled her even
more. Germaine was wildly
self-indulgent, promiScuous,
anu illpOIJulldIc.
She followed her first low
er, Count de Narbonne, to
England with other revolu-
tionary emigres to England.
When he abandoned her,
Germaine threatened suicide.
II can't have any respect for
you, but then 1 can't stop
worshiping you" was a typi-
cal line of the letters from
her. She soon consoled her
self with another, but it was
not until 1894 when she met
the equally preposterous Ben
jamin Constant, that she
achieved anything like a last
ing passion. He had had a
bizarre upbringing, possessed
a mind that matched her
own.
Their affair lasted %
years. On the anniversary
of their meeting, after a
series of shattering scenes,
partings. secret marriages on
both sides, reconciliations
and mutual analyses, he
wrote: IF I had been wise,
I should never have con-
tracted that attachment: If
I had been wiser. I never
would have severed the con-
nection." Madame de Stael
swept before her almost
every parsonage of her time.
There was one important
exception, Napoleon. Such a
man who had not his equal,

to charm him but failed. He

to do is to keep her mouth

not do. She continued to
babble with what Lord Byron
called that elqouence that

exiled. Out of her travels in
Germany she produced a
travel book, 'D'Allemagne",
which of all she wrote, has
lived. Goethe and Schiller
trembled at her coming, but
did not dare not to meet her.

LutheranS have been given
some discouraging news about
the academic level of the theo-
logical students who will some
day fill the pulpits of their
church.
In a report on the nine us.
seminaries of the Lutheran
Church in America, the Rev.
DR.. Conrad Bergendoff said go
per cent of all students enrolled
had only C averages in college.
DR.. Bergendoff, executive Sec
rotary of the denominations
Board of Theological Education
said this discovery came as a
shock and was a disturbing
commentary on the role of the
church today.
1T may well be that science
and engineering are capturing
the best minds Of our genera
ton because of the prestige and
emoluments Of these profess
sions," he said. but in the
same degree the church has
lost its leadership in current
thinking"
The results Of DR.. Bergen
doff's year : long survey were
mailed to the denominations
sob pastors with a plea for
higher academic standards in
the seminaries.
Surely the Lord can use men
with limited intellectual endow-
mentS," he said. "But this does
not excuse a church which can
not attract its most gifted men
into this high calling" \.
DR.. Bergendoff asserted that
Seminaries have a right and an
obligation to be more selective
among applicants. The best de-
vice might be to require a B
average Of all college graduates
seeking admission, he said.
"We are not serving the best
interests Of the church by en-
couraging every young man Of
respectable character to choose
the ministry" he said.
The education chief proposed
a series Of sweeping changes
designed to improve theological
training. Seminary professors
should be better paid, he said,
and the curriculum should be
revamped to put more stress on
modern literature and thought.
Presbyterian institutions have
been asked to use their building
and investment funds as a tool
to help wipe out racial discrimi-
nation.
The United Presbyterian
Church's Commission on Reli-
gion and Race suggests for ex-
ample, that the denomination
make deposits only in banks
and savings and loan associa-
tons that encourage negro eli
ents. Church agencies also were
asked to insist on f~air-employ-
ment clauses in all building
contracts.

to erect hurdles over which even edu-
Gated Negroes cannot jump. Real inte-
grafton, Of course, remains remote.
Nevertheless, the efforts Of the states
to interpose their own laws in defiance
of federal laws are being defeated, and
the pretence of legal basis for segre-
cation is crumbling. For this very rea-
son the scope for litigation, even simply
to enforce the law, will eventually begin
to diminish. 1t is not too soon to look
ahead to this new phase, especially as
impatience is continually rising.
The most recent sign was the recon-
mendation of the Civil Rights Commits
sion that President Kennedy should
consider cutting off the flow Of federal
funds to Mississippi because the state
had placed itself in direct defiance of
the constitution and federal court
. orders" There is also a disagreement
within the Negro movement over the
relative merits Of litigation, civil dis
obedience, and public demonstration.
Amid all this it is easy to forget that
segregation is basically human prob
lem, and there are limits to either legal
or political action. Indeed, there is an
argument that too much legal pressure
slows down the advance Of understand
ing and tolerance. Certainly punitive
measures such as that suggested by the
Civil Rights Commission would impose
a form of collective guilt upon the en-
tire state and probably stiffen resistance.
The real need is to foster the forces of
change and moderation which are at
work within the south itself rather than
to compel change from the outside.
Economic self-interest is already hav-
ing Christening effect, for racial trouble
conspicuously drives away investment.
The south is also becoming more aware
of its guilt and isolation. 1t may be that
as the need for legal pressure abates, as
the Negroes. win the vote, and as the
two-party system makes inroads into
the south, the forces Of sanity will be-
come more united and active than they
are now.-The Times (London)

CA Different Version of the Old
Aesop Fable)

Ia Dlfferent version OF the Old
AesOp Fable)
Joseph Francis Albright
A grasshopper, out for a stroll
One bright, hot summer day,
Came upon an ant on a knoll,
Steadily toiling away.
"Well, how is this" he said to
the ant,
That on this broiling day in July
You need must toll and roast
and pant,
And let all the pleasure go by?
Put down that stuff you're drag
ging there
And HE you along with me,
Across this meadow to where
Cool breezes blow in from the
sea-"
"You are very foolish" the ant
replied,
ITO even suggest such a silly
thing.
Winter will soon come with its
frosty glide
To freeze up everything.
Because of the time you hop
pers now waste
You will find yourselves in a
pinch;
Whereas we ants all now make
haste
So that winter with US will be
cinch."
The grasshopper smiled. "Your
logic is such
Strange talk, though you might
not believe that.
Personally, | confess that I
don't know much
About your ants winter habitat.
You live your lives as you best
deem,
And we do the same with ours:
But to whom does your work
zeal seem
Of more import than our love
of flowers?
No. we 'hoppers don't work
much in summer,
And care little what winter will
do;
But, brother, each spring when
you ants appear,

tCOnIlnued from rage One)
helped reestablish the country's
unity under one central au-
thority.
Some African countries OBJ
ject that the UN responsibility
will end only with the with
draWal of its presence.
The implication of the con-
torversy is that the central
government considers itself
sovereign once again, and thus
free to do as it pleases, while
the African countries maintain
that past UN resolutions still
apply, in particular the one re-
curing that requests for out
side assistance be made only
through the world organization.
U Thant now has reminded
his advisory committee that the
government of the Congo al
ways has been free to approach
any government for assistance.
1.-THE restrictive burden of
the resolution really falls on
the states thus approached" he
stated. They are Belgium,
Canada, Norway, Italy, and the
United States, all members of
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization, plus Israel.
II these countries decided to
accedc to the Congo's request
they would also bear all re-
sponsibility for their decision.
THE United Nations" in the
Secretary Generals words,
would not be held responsible
for that training program or
for any implications of it."
"On the other hand" he
added, ''if the United Nations
is called upon to play CO.
ordinating function in a pro-
gram of this importance, or to
make the requests, it is clearly
within the discretion of the
United Nations to decide
whether such a role is suit
able or not"
In other words, no matter
what the decision. the Congo
is in the clear and the respon-
sibility rests with the countries
offering assistance.
This Interpretation by the
Secretary-General may make
things easier for the Congo. AS
he reminded the committee,
1T is essential that the Congo
lese armed forces be modern
lied and trained without de-
lay, more especially in view of
the likelihood of the departure
from the Congo of the United
Nations forces by the end of /
1868. Indeed, these two events
have a practical interrelation."
U Thant is obviously anxious !
that the job of retaining the
Congolese armed forces be
done as speedily as possible so
as to allow the United Nations
to withdraw.
Meanwhile, however, some
OF the countries objecting to
the Congolese Governments
plan contribute to the UN
operation, and their objections
cannot be taken lightly.
Also the Secretary-General
could not very well ignore
African sentiments in such
matters. He does not forget the
experience of his predecessor,
Dag Hammarskjold, who at one
time did so with very serious
consequences.
The problem Is far from
solved but the Secretary
Generals Intervention has 1t
least served to clarity its terms
Of reference.
