Real Roses in the Cheeks-
You Call That a Handicap?
By BILLY ROSE
When Eleanor and I first moved up to Mt. Kisco, some of our
neighbors dropped by to pay their respects, but I didn’t encourage
these visits. The landed gentry of Westchester are nice enough
folk, but tljey don’t talk my lingo. Besides, I see no point in culti
vating people who think it’s smart to chase a fox.
But a little down the road from us live a couple I cultivate as often
as they’ll have me. Their names are Fred and Jane Newell. I met them
through Eleanor two years ago, and I’ll never forget the first night we
had dinner at their house.
Jane answered the doorbell. She
was pretty all over, and I liked her
right away. “Excuse the peasant
gkirt,” she said. "I have a baby
penciled in for the fall.”
Fred was in the living room

dictated his stuff to his wife.
It was a fine dinner and a fine
evening. Jane carried her child as
if baby-having were some kind of
party. Around eleven o’clock, Fred
said to Jane, “Maybe the Roses
would like ice cream."
“Maybe they would,” said Jane,
"but we haven’t any. I’ll drive
down to the village and get some.”
“I’ll go with you,” I said, "just
to make sure you don’t forget
chocolate.”

Jane smiled. "/ don’t know. I

"Lucky/” I said, and then
stopped, embarrassed.
"It’s all right," said Jane. "Of
course, it would be nicer if Fred
could see, but neither of us thinks
that’s very important."
“How’d it happen?”
“War stuff,” said Jane. "Frag

town of Dexter. A1 Slater is de
termined to be elected state repre
sentative from the 31st Belknap
district. A1 has tried for three con
secutive terms to win out over
Tyler Jenkins. At every election he
had the vote
sewed up. But
3 * Minute Tyler, who Is one

politicians a man
would want to
meet, always contrived to pull a
fast one, two or three days before
voting day, and succeeded in
swinging the vote his way.
“Folks think I’m dumb," A1 con
fided to his wife. “It’s got to be a
joke, me running for office against
Jenkins.”
A1 began his campaign 10 months
before election. He knew that folks
in Dexter were eager to have the
contemplated new state highway
run through town, instead of swing
ing off to the northward toward
Bartlett. And he knew that if he
could persuade the highway com
missioner to chart the course of the
proposed road through Dexter, it
would mean a big thing; it would
probably mean Al’s election.
And so A1 went to the capitol,
looked up the highway commis
sioner, whose name was Hig
gins, and talked the thing over.
At first Higgins was obstinate.
The highway, he told Al, was
scheduled to run through Bart
lett.
Well, Al didn’t get discouraged.
He called on Mr. Higgins a month
later and talked things over again.
This time he took Mr. Higgins to
lunch and bought tickets for the
theater afterward. Higgins began to
weaken. Al talked himself blue in
“Folks think I’m dumb," Al
confided to his wife. “It’s got
to be a Joke, me running
against Jenk.”

with a promise that Mr. Higgins
would think the matter over.
Al was mighty satisfied with him
self. A month before election a
story came out in the papers that,
through the efforts of Albert T.
Slater, the new state highway
would run through Dexter.
A L RECEIVED a lot of credit for
his work, and a lot of prom
ises of voter.
that. He didn’t show up until two
weeks before election, and then it
was to announce a piece of news
that overshadowed Al’s great work.
Tyler, it seemed, had made a trip
to the capitol himself. He had con
sulted the proper authorities and
received a promise that the state
would employ local labor in con
structing that section of the road
that ran through Dexter.
The news was something to
cheer about. It began to look as
if Tyler had pulled another fast
one.
Well, Tyler might have been
elected if news hadn’t drifted back
into town that the state, because of
adverse business conditions, had de
cided to abandon the idea of build
ing the road that year.
Al made a hurried trip to the
capitol. He didn’t return during the
next week, and folks began to for
get he was even a candidate.
And then on the day before elec
tion one of the newspapers from
the capitol that claims a fair-sized
circulation in Dexter came out with
the announcement that the road
would definitely be put through.
The words were a direct quotation
from Commissioner Higgins, whose
picture appeared on the front page
alongside a picture of Al Slater. It
was through Al’s efforts, the article
read, that the course of the road
would pass through Dexter.
Dexter was Jubilant. At the
polls on the day following, Al
was unanimously elected to fill
the expired term of Tyler Jenk
ins.
“Dumb, am I?” Al said to his wife
after it was over. “Well, this is one
time Tyler pulled his fast one too
early in the game. He thought the
psychological moment was two
weeks ago, instead of yesterday. I
wonder,” he went on, “what Tyler
would say if he knew I started that
rumor about abandoning the road
idea. I wonder if the folks would
say I was dumb if they knew I just
did it so’s I could make it appear
like I persuaded the state to change
its mind on the day before election.
Dumb, am I? Dumb—like a fox.”

Personal Religion
Lesson for December II, 1949
E lectricity was discovered,
long ago, but there are millions
of people today who never use it
and don’t know anything about it.
Modem plumbing has been in use
ever since most of
us were bom; but
most human be
ings still walk for
their water instead
of getting It from
pipes. All inven
tions take quite a
while to get around.
So it is in the realm
of the spirit. Jere
miah the prophet. Dr. Foreman
it has been said, is
the “man who discovered the in
dividual.’’ But 2700 years after his
time, the individual needs redis
covering. Even in the church, some
people live and act as if Jeremiah’s
discovery had never been made.
• * •
A Man Stands Alone
A lthough jeremiah was a
priest and aristocrat by birth,
his own class disowned him. The
story in Jeremiah 26 shows dram-
atically why this was. He predicted
doom for his nation, and since his
own “upper-bracket” people were
the nation’s leaders, they con
sidered Jeremiah’s attitude not
only unpatriotic but a downright
personal insult.
If it had been left to the
priests and the official prophets,
the day of Jeremiah’s sermon
at the temple would have been
his last. To put it bluntly, the
difference between Jeremiah
and all the other “prophets”
and priests could be put this
way: He knew the nation was
too rotten to last, but they
thought it was plenty good
enough.
They probably could have agreed
with him that a wicked nation de
serves divine punishment; only they
could see nothing wrong with Judah,
• • •
Religion by Proxy?
T HEY were mistaken many ways.
Mistake number one: They
thought the Temple, with all that
went on in it, was much more im
portant to God than it really was.
The whole business—Temple, white-
robed priests, chanting choirs, the
burning of animals, the incense
and the mystic lights—it bad be
come in their eyes » sort of im
mense good-luck charm. They
thought: Surely God will not de
stroy a city that contains this
Temple!
But Jeremiah saw through
that 'mistake. Institutions, rit
uals, organisations, ceremonies,
sacraments, these are all simply
means to an end, they have no
value in themselves. Every
thing we call “public worship”
is good only if and so far as it
lifts and cleanses the spirits of
the worhipers and brings them
nearer God.
The most perfect and impressive
worship, engaged in by those whose
hearts are evil, beomes a blas
phemy. A fine church is no substi
tute for fine people. A beautiful
worship program will not conceal
from God’s eye unbeautiful souls.
Mistake number two: The priests
and prophets supposed there was
such a thing as religion by proxy.
They thought the priests by carry
ing on their duties could take care
of the situation.
/ * * *
God writes on the heart
A NOTHER MISTAKE made by
those poor fools of false proph
ets and priests was In supposing
they had the Law of God, when all
they had was two tables of stone
shut up in a box (I Kings 8:9). They
were proud of those tables of stone,
they were the Commandments of
God, and they were guarded most
carefully in the Holy of Holies in
the Temple. Surely, God would not
destroy the city that possessed the
Sacred Law! But Jeremiah knew
better, in the Jong run, the only
place the Law of God does real
good is when it is written on the
heart.
In Jeremiah’s most famous
prophecy (chap. 31) he looks
forward to the day when God’s
handwriting shall be not on
tables of stone but on human
hearts. That prophecy is being
fulfilled day by day as persons
turn their hearts to the Lord
and open the book of their lives
that God may write his laws
there.
Yet how many people have never
learned this truth! Having a great
tradition is good; owning and read
ing the Bible is good; but it is not
the Bible on the shelf that counts,
not carrying a testament in the
pocket, but the Word of God “hid
in the heart” of those who know,
love and do what God desires.
