1T HAS EVER BEEN DANGER
GUS TO WALK BY SIGHT.

Ewes downfall came when she
saw the tree was good for food,
She left the path of faith to
follow the path of sight. In do
ing so she corrupted herself
and cursed every generation
which followed.
Lot failed when he saw the
plain of Jordon. Sight caused
him to exchange the rewards
of faith for present advantage;
1t so blinded his vision that
he esteemed Sodom with its
vileness superior to the fruits
of holy faith. He separated from
the man of faith and lost his
family in the flames.
The Babylonish garment
caused Achan to lose sight of
the pathway of faith. The seen
wealth of the present was to
Achan more desirable than to
the eternal wealth described
in the promises of Israel. Walk
ing by sight brought to Achan
overwhelming disaster.
He who endeavors to live by
sight will fall into some trap
of Satan and find utter confusion
and defeat. He. who walks by
faith walks in company with the
Son of God and under the gui-
dance and protection of the
Holy Ghost.
To walk by faith means sep
aration but it means satisfac-
tion. To walk by faith means
suffering, but it means SER
entity of spirit. To walk by faith
means surrender, utter and for
ever, but it means service to
the generations which follow.
The man who is walking In the
path of faith will accept grac-
iously the chastenings of the
Lord, knowing. "Whop the Lord
loveth He chasteneth. "Whom
the Lord would use much He
must train much. He who would
know the secrets of God must
walk the path of faith and trust.
This may lead through fires of
lonely suffering, and dungeons
of bitter hardships. but it leads
to the inner sanctuary with God.
To walk by faith is Christian
adventure; it is the spirit of
the explorer; it marches at the
head of spiritual progress, and
builds fortresses from desper-
ate situations.
Goethe said: "Epochs of faith
are epochs of fruitfulness; but
epochs of unbelief, however
glittering, are barren of ell
permanent good"
"The walk of "--how
challengingI 1t is to go out as
did Abraham, mot knowing whi-
ther he vents; 1t is to con-
tinue on as did Paul in his
journey toward Jerusalem
"not knowing what awaits me
there" Such a man needs no
other support, and is willing to
go forward with no other light
than the light of faith.

THE LEARNING TREE. BY
Gordon Parks. (Harper &
Row; $4.95.)

Il
Gordon Parks. (Harper &
Row; $4.950
It is difficult to review
THE Learning Tree" dis
passionately. This is a violent
book, full Of warmth and love.
Nor does this apparent para
dox seem paradoXical at all,
as one comes, page by page,
under the spell Of the au-
thor's skill.
Gordon Parks chronicles
the struggles for survival, and
for some measure Of happi-
ness, Of a Negro family in
Kansas in the 1920s-all with
such a glow of first-hand
participation that the reader
accepts the novel, early. as
authentic fictional auto
biography. It opens with
violence - a tornado - and
closes with Violence muir
der-but it Is written with an
easy, natural grace, with
humor, raciness, and vivid
characterizations. Despite all
the violence, there runs
through the book q strong
spiritual strain.
Appealing Portraits
The reader is given mar
velously appealing portraits
of Sarah and Jack Winger,
the parents Of Newt Winger,
the main character. This fine
family Of sons and daughters
could well personify thou
sands Of Negro families Of
that era. The gentleness Of
these Negroes caught in a
web Of fate over which they
have no control Is like balm
on open wounds. There is a
splendid vitality in the Win
ger family-resourcefulness
hope, lack Of self-pity or
recriminations - and these
are the sustaining elements
that enable Newt to survive.
Every member Of the large
cast is neatly carved with a
chiSel, like a fine bas-relief
in which no figure, even that
Of Newt, is unduly empha-
sized over the others. With
economy of words, each
Characterization Is complete.
Swift Photographic" con-
versations give us what we
need to know about the
members of Nevis gang"

Novel Is Centered on
Neqro Problem in U. S.

Beansy Fuller, Jappy Dun
can, and Skunk Mcdowell
are vivid details in the bas-
relief. So is Marcus, who
moves in and out Of the
gang" until his tragic end,
where Newt, in the midst of
defending himself against
Marcus murderous assault,
tries to save him from
Kirby, the white cop, who
nevertheless shoots Marcus
down in cold blood.
Like q Fruit Tree
The moral of this last in
cident in the book Is that
although Marcus might pos
Sibly have succeeded in kill
ing Newt, Newt did not want
the police to get" Marcus
again. Kirby, the cop, has
the unpleasant role Of repre-
senting poor white trash"
in the book, with his stubble
Of a beard, his dirty clothes,
and his splotchy face. How
ever, the books other i'm
portant white character -
Judge Cavanaugh - gives
dignity to his court, al
though his well-kept home
is shrouded in scandal.
The books title is ex-
planned in a passage in
which Sarah, Nevis mother,
describes her feeling about
Cherokee Flats, Kans., scene
of the entire narrative. Her
words have a child-like sim
plicity but are loaded with a
world of wisdom: II hope
you won't stay here all your
life, Newt. 1t amt a good
place and it amt an all-bad
place. But you can learn
just as much here about
people and things as you can
learn any place else. Chero-
kee Flats is sort Of like q
fruit tree. Some Of the peo-
pie are good and some are
bad-just like the fruit on a
tree. If you learn to profit
from the good and the bad
these people do to each
other, you'll learn a lot
about life. No matter If you
go or stay, think Of Chero-
kee Flats like that till the
day you die-let 1t be your
learnin' tree"
On her deathbed, Nevis
mother has moving advice

many struggles, is about to

She is at her best, I think,
as travel writer and sponta-
neous o m m entator. Her
chapter on Israel, its insular-
ity and intolerance, is a bit
ing, exact minority view of
a new country which may
have had too many rave
reviews for its own good. Her
impromptu diatribe on the
filth of the sidewalks Of New

hits OF her novels, she says,
and it is her own punctua-
ton, "They had power they
had theme they had protest"
She ticks off their qualities
as vitality, observation,
Characterization and reada-
bility."
Those four virtues, with
the exception Of characteri-
cation, are present in this
second installment Of her
autobiography. The only
character present is Edna
Ferber herself, sturdy, alert,
appreciative, voluble. No wit,
no stylist, she is not self
conscious about stating or
even belaboring the obvious.
Her observation is better
than her perception.
In this longish book, there
is no suspense, or even chro-
nology. These are jottings.
There Is no real emotional
content. Miss Ferber protests
she is that rare being, a
happy spinster.
So we have Miss Ferber,
mistress Of a country house

ems to master her; literary
