FROM THE STAR FILES.. ..

death or exile will be the
more bearable lot, but If re-
Sistance in the field is over
come, I do really incline to
believe that men will be
found in the South willing to
put forward or accept propos-
ais either of submission or
compromise. On the
whole I conclude that the
South seems to exhibit signs
of WEAKNESS and desponden-
cy; and peace, If it were Of
fered on plausible terms,
might be hailed as a provi-
Dental deliverance. >"

holding a baby, and her
husband standing by. Not
very exciting-not very
unusual! The star was spec
tacular; the stable might
have been severely disap-
pointing.
The truth of this story
goes far deeper than the
mere narrative. For instance,
a young man sees the star of
medicine begin to rise in his
sky. The possibility of heal
ing the sick-everything in
him is drawn by this one
great allurement. He follows
the star through medical
school, through all the dis
cipline Of internship, and
then the time comes when
the star stands over a poorly
m ana ged hospital, where
people do not get well, where
supplies are inadequate, and
the machinery of manage
ment makes more demands
than the care of the sick. Or,
for instance, a young girl
sees the star of romance rise
in her sky, and in that star
she sees all the possibilities
of motherhood and family
life. She follows it gladly
with no hesitation whatever.
There comes a time, howev-
er, when the star comes and
stands over a kitchen sink.
A brilliant Lutheran schol-
ar, preaching In the Univer-
sity of Chicago, took for his
topic "The Wise Men,. He
declared the wise men do not
come any more, by and large,
to the church as they once
did, either to pray or to
think. Why? His answer was
that they do not come be-
cause they are convinced
that "the church not only
does not have the right
answer, but it cannot COM
prehend their questions"
But. shall we suggest a
simpler reason why the wise
men do not come, and why
many plain people who are
not particularly wise, do not
come? 1t may be simply that
they do not like the stable,
that they do not like kneel-
ing in the dirt, that they do
not like bending over kitchen
sinks, or typewriter desks, or
even a baby's crib, and that
they do not like yielding
themselves to the discipline
Of anything that is to be
good and great in the world.
Somehow they do not see
that the star and the stable,
in their mysterious conjunc-
ton, are inseparable parts Of
the very same thing.
Let us pray: We thank
thee o God for what hap
pened in the stable years
ago. Grant that as we go
through life we may not
despise the earthly, dirty,
smelly places, where we often
have to be, where we have to
make compromises, where we
have to do what is possible,
and bear witness to the
perfect in surroundings that
are far from perfect. Then,
lead us out of the stable
toward the brightness Of the
everlasting light-through
Him, who is the light of the
world. Amen.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
The Star and the Stable
By DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the UNITED statss senats

Now that Christmas, 1868,
Is receding as a date, it is
well to bear vividly in mind
that at the very center Of the
worlds great birthday cele-
bration, apart Of course from
the Baby, Is a star and a
stable. That was the subject
Of a Christmas sermon in a
great cathedral church. 1t
was sent to me by one who
heard it and because I be-
lieve it contains some pro-
found insights, I am passing
this message on to you with
out any claim for originality.
A Midwestern preacher rears
this Spire.
The first thing that comes
to our mind is the contrast
in this surprising conjunc-
ton Of q stable and a star.
The star-far away, radiant
in its beauty. mysterious.
heavenly in its splendor,
bright, shining! In striking
contrast to the star Is the
stable-near at hand, smelly,
familiar, earthly and dull.
Life Is something like a
fine line held in tension
between these two poles, the
stable and the star, the
heavenly and the earthly, the
radiant and the routine. The
star, for example Is the
ideal; the stable is the ac-
tual. The star is the perfect,
the stable is the possible.
We dream of the perfect
church in which everyone
works together in harmony,
and in which the fruits of
the spirit are so abundant
they can barely be reaped.
Yet, the only church we
know Is the church in which
people often disagree, many
times make mistakes, some
times misbehave, and in
which the fruits of the spirit
are sometimes so scarce that
they are almost impossible to
find. We dream, too. of a
perfect family in which the
relationships are good and
happy, the brothers and
sisters loving and trusting
each other. and all respect
ing and honoring their ia
ther and mother. Yet life in
a family. as in q church. is
often tightly stretched owing
to the parents and the chill
dren, between the perfect
and the possible, a stable and
a star.
So the stable and the star
are not only in contrast.
dramatic and vivid, but they
are in tension. Neither one
by itself, alone, is enough.
Fix your eye on the star. and
blind yourself to the stable,
and you become a visionary,
totally ineffective in the
world Of human events. On
the other hand, look steadily
at the stable and never
glance at the star, and you
live in a down graded world,
flat and dull, with both the
splendor and the suffering
left out. The people who do
best are the ones who keep
one eye on the stable and the
other on the star.
The stable in the Christ
mas story belonged to a
village inn. Because Of local
circumstances 1t was over
crowded at the time and a
baby was born. not in the
inn but in the stable-a
Baby destined to be a person
who would change the course
of human life. This particu-
lar stable, therefore, is like
no other and reminds us at
once Of the strange and
unexpected way in which
things come to pass. What
the men expected to find
when they got there we do
not know-what they did
find was a young woman

so Years Ago

Automobile magnates were
putting out potent propagan-
da so years ago to clear the
transportation field of the
horse. The Star of December
%, 1913. quoted a truck
manufacturers effort to
show that the horse popula-
ton was taking food out of
the mouths Of people by
keeping too much acreage
producing hay, oats and
corn. Arguing that this land
could be better utilized to
produce crops for humans,
the trucker said: "The hay
crop this year will amount to
$740 million, and the horse
eats most Of this. The oats
crop will total 1894 million,
and dobbin gets most of it.
The corn crop comes to 50
billion, and again the horse
is the big consumer. This is
criminal waste ="
Woodrow Wilson was max
ing a Shambles of custom so
years ago. The Star Of De-
cember %, 1918, said this
"precedent-b r e aker" Presi-
dent, who had done away
with the inaugural ball when
he entered office, had de-
creed that the New Years
Day reception at the White
House would not be held in
1914-the first time such a
thing had happened since
President Monroe inaugural

Dear Mr.. Tome:
Your editorial for the July IL
issue of the Navajo Times was so
beautiful that | must tell you how
grateful | am to you for giving 1t
to me. My years inthe Indian coun-
try when my husband was with the
United States Forest Service were
the most wonderful of my life.
Since his health required us to
move to California, take your
paper to ease little the home
sickness for the beautiful land.
Because | wish children here
to learn more of the things about
which you wrote in your editorial,
have for years given occasional
talks to small groups at schools
telling some of these things. Al
ways l finish with something a
Navajo once said to me, "May
you walk in beauty. So many
children from certain walks of
life seem to have SO little of
beauty and harmony in their lives,
especially spiritual beauty.
Again, thank you for your
editorial.
