PLACE FOR A GOOD BOOK
Library Is Feature
Of Arlington Church

Many people looking for the
Carrie M. Rohrer Library in
Arlington are surprised to find
t h e 7,OOO-volume circulating
book collection in a church.
But old-time county residents
have known for almost half a
century that when the wish for
a history book or novel becomes
overbearing, all that is neces-
sary is a trip to the Rock
Spring Congregational Church.
There, one can select any,
thing from Virgil to Arthur
Schlesinger, jr., and amble home
with two weeks of reading en-
joyment under his arm-free of
charge.
The library was established in
1915 as a memorial to a founder
of the church. In those days the
nearest public library was in
Washington at Seventh and X
streets NV.
Even though there now is a
public library about two miles
from the church," says the Rev.
Sidney Lovett, I'VE still lend out
about 125 books a week. And a
great number of the people who
borrow them are not members
of the church"
Mr.. Lovett, who has been
pastor of the church at SOLO
North Little Falls road for
seven years, credits much Of
the library'S success to the
congregation members who run
it.
We've been blessed over the
years by women who have
training as professional librari.
ans. They have really made il
go and keep the book selections
and the catalOguing up to very
high standards"

than concentrating on just max.
ing it bigger" he notes.
"The children's section is
probably the strongest. When
the library was started, it was
just for the kids and over the

years this area has been
worked over very carefully"
Mr.. Lovett thinks highly of
the library's collection on re-
cent history and politics. I'VE
have all Of Schlesinger, jr., and
George Remnants works on
Russia and generally most Of
the significant writings of the
period" he says.
I'VE have lots of fiction" Mr..
Lovett said, "but there are too
many weak spots. We're getting
better though, and our contem-
porary fiction acquisitions are
outstanding"

on earth.
Question: why do the peO-
pie of the Jewish religion OBJ
ject to the prpOsal to adopt a
13-mOnth calendar with all the
months uniform"
DevOut Jews have accepted
the seven-day week as being
of divine origin, as described
in the first chapter of Gene
sis. Weeks we're observed long
before months or years. The
seven days of the week are
regarded as sacred. The 13-
month calendar would provide
for one day which belongs to
no week at all. This would, in
the Orthodox Jewish view,
disrupt the sacred seven-day
sequence.

Question: I'm your column
you mentioned a man whose
name adds up to 666. l looked
ii up but l cannot find out to
whom 1t refers"
This reference in the Book
Of Revelation (the Apoca-
lypse) is believed by Biblical
scholars to be applied to the
Roman Emperor Nero whose
name, in Hebrew. may be
transposed to equal the num-
Der 666.
Having written that, l ex-
pect the usual flood of letters
insisting that the 666 in the
Revelation refers to the Pope
of the Roman Catholic
Church. They will even 60 so
far as to say that the Latin
numerals, equivalent to 666
can be made up of the Latin
words "Vacarious Fill Deli
Vicar Of the Son Of God. "
Also it will be claimed that
these words are engraved on
the Papal crown"
When l was in Rome last
month | went over to the Va
tican to look at numerous
papal tiaraS. The pope has,
not one, but many. l didn't
find one that had any words
engraved upon it. This is a
fantastic and impossible theo-
ry. At the time of the writing
of the Revelation there was
no papal tiara.

ceremony OF Inc second SeS-
sion of the ii Vatican Council.
When the Pope said he was
going to the Holy Land be-
cause st. Peter had come
from there land none of his
Succ eSSOrS ever has
returned" my thoughts
turned back to one spot in
Palestine.
l hope Pope Paul will visit
Capernaum (Capharnum in
the Catholic Bible). To me, it
is the most authentic spot in
the land of the Bible. Today
Their are only the ruins and
outlines of buildings which ex-
listed in New Testament days.
It was the home town of ST.
Peter, on the edge of a cove
at the Northwest curve of the
Sea of Galilee. Jesus Christ
made it His 'home-away-
trombone" when He was in
the north country.
One is stirred by the reli-
giouS significance of Jerus-
laem, Nazareth, Bethlehem
and other cities where shirnes
have been erected. But in
Capernaum one feels the
touch with the very spot
where Jesus and the disciples
walked. No new buildings
have been erected. The Fran
ciscan fathers have dug down
to the ancient level and you
may walk on the sands of
time.
Question: "There is a pas
sage in the Bible that asks
Christians to be perfect. 1t is
my contention that it is i'm
possible for anyone to live a
perfect life. Please give your
opinion.
The passage is in the Ser
mon on the Mount, in the Cos
pei Of St. Matthew. | agree
that perfection is a well-nigh
unattainable goal. But can
you think of any lesser goal
worth striving for? In the Ju-
deo-C Christian faith there is no
worthy choice but to seek to
live a perfect life. You will
fall short but if you set your
sights on anything less, you
will miss what is expected Of
you!

The delegation of Soviet
intellectuals who arrived here
Wednesday night on a three
week United States tour is
stunned and hurt" by the
sudden cancellation Of their
official appointments here in
the wake Of the Kremlin's
arrest Of Prof. Frederick c.
Barghoorn Of Yale.
Acting as spokesman and
interpreter for the 16-member
group, one Of them, Mrs. T.
@. Mamedova denied seeing
any connection between the
spy" arrest and their cul-
tural good viii mission.

Mamedova who is here as

Heading the delegation is
the institute president, DR..
N. N. Blokhin. Mrs. Nina
Khrushchev is vice president,
and an active one. Mrs.
Mamedova said in an inter-
view at the Commodore Hotel.
String Of Snubs
The group first learned of
the string of snubs which
awaited them here Wednes-
day night just as they left
for New York.
The previous night they
had been warmly received by
United States Ambassador
Foy Kohler. who offered to
help them with introductions
and in any other way, said
Mrs. Mamedova. Then just
before plane departure time,
the United States Embassy
notified the group not to
expect q cordial reception
from Government and aca-
demic circles.
Deploring the snubs as
bad manners, she stated her
belief that a private organi-
zation (the institute) should
not be held responsible or
punished, for the actions Of
the Russian government.

arrest. We came as tourists,

Some of them led out the ace
of diamonds first, hoping to
drop a singleton queen. but
then went after the spades and
a diamond finesse. Same sad
fate.
This sort of play couldn't be

The Vienna Coup is a sort Of
Indian gift. First you set up
a trick for an opponent and
then you squeeze him out Of it.
South wins the second trick
with the king of clubs and
cashes the high hearts. West
discards a club on the last high
heart. South also cashes the
ace of diamonds.
South next caShes the ace Of

the unlocking play that brings
