THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. * T <E WEEK m Svclyion INSPIRATION Good Deeds O N A VISIT to a hospital after the Civil War, Abraham Lin coln came upon a soldier, a lad still in his teens, who lay dying. Moved to deep compassion, the President bent down to ask the boy: “Can I do anything for you?” •‘Yes,’’ the lad whispered, “You f night hold my hand and see me hrough.” It is an edifying thought that the leader of a great nation gladly took time out to do a deed of kindness for a lowly fellow human being. That Abraham Lincoln’s life was replete with such acts of charity and understanding does not dimin ish the value or importance of even the smallest of them. The above editorial and other material appearing; In this column were pre pared by Religious New's Service. CHURCH-DONATED HOUSES . . .

C.—The navy department has announced that it is recalling 250 reserve chaplains to active duty on an involuntary basis. A drop during recent months in the number of reserve chaplains volunteering for duty, and a drop in the recruiting of seminary grad uates has made the action neces sary, the navy department said. The navy now has about 650 chap lains on active duty. Chaplains called to active serv ice will be required to serve from 17 to 24 months. A minimum of 30 days’ notice will be given to clergymen called to active duty. Where they are filling civilian pulpits, for which replacements will have to be ob tained, the navy said it will try to grant a four-month period in which they may bring their civilian work to a close before reporting for duty. Science, Religion Wage Subtle Fight EDENBURGH—Developments in the field of psychology have pro duced a "more subtle and painful’’ form of conflict between science and religion, the Rev. Donald M. Baillie of the University of St An drews told the British Association for the Advancement of Science at Its annual meeting here. Preaching at a convention serv ice in St. Giles Cathedral, Prof. Baillie said that, while in the past theologians and scientists have clashed over particular teachings, present-day psychology has led to "a struggle between two different habits of mind" in the same person. In some quarters, he says, psy chological discoveries- have brought about "a meticulous dread of wishful thinking—a self-ques tioning as to whether one’s religion is anything more than an escape into fantasy, or one’s God anything more than a projection.” He declared that such psycholog ical efforts to "explain away" re ligious belief go against "the de vout persuasion in our hearts, fdeeper than all proofs and argu- Iments, which told us about God and the meaning of life.” Religion Question Box Q: What is a triptych? A: A panel, usually an altar • piece, consisting of three parts, of which the two side parts fold over the middle one. A triptych generally bears a Christian picture or design. Urges Corporations Give Five Per Cent WASHINGTON. D. C.-A m e r- ica’s large corporations are urged t* contribute a full five per cent of their income to religious, charita ble, and educational purposes in a report by two economists. Titled “The Five Percent," the report has been published by the National Planning Association. Its authors are Beardsley Ruml and {Theodore Geiger. I MIRROR Of Your MIND Family Can Be Too Close By Lawrence Gould May brothers and sisters be "too close”? Answer: Yes, once they have grown up. On the whole, the mo tives which make adult sons and daughters unwilling to leave home, or unable to feel as close to “out siders” as to one another must be recognized as backward-looking. Such behavior represents an effort to preserve the security and hap piness of childhood at the cost of missing the more adult satisfaction of the ties a person makes for him self. To feel it is only your revives that you can depend on is to lack enough self-confidence to believe that anyone will love you for your self, or if it is not his “duty” to do so. Is losing your gloves neurotic? Answer: If it gets to be a habit, it is a neurotic symptom, though not necessarily a serious one. For there is a purpose behind every thing you do or leave undone, and only a purpose that is more or less neurotic will work to your disad vantage. The person who leaves a trail of gloves, rubbers and hand kerchiefs behind him may have a childish resentment at being "en cumbered,” or what he uncon sciously throws away may repre sent a sort of sacrifice, intended to avert ill fortune, like the wine the Greeks and Romans poured out on the ground at their feasts. May pain save a baby’s life? Answer: Yes, says Dr. W. Hoffei in the International Journal of Psy choanalysis. A baby is kept from taking out his aggressive impulses on himself by the fact that it hurts him to do so, and this may save his life. Psychiatrists say, for in stance, that a child in a temper tantrum rarely will bang his head on the floor hard enough to do se rious damage because this would be too painful. But as we grow up we learn subtler ways of hurting our selves (needless overwork, or worry, for example) so that the “pain barrier” is undermined and if we are neurotic enough, we may ruin our health, or even commit unconscious suicide. LOOKING XT RELIGION C(?ME HUDSON BAY MISSION ARCHES OUT SOME 1,000 MILES PROM CHURCHILL, MANITOBA, AND IS CON SIDERED TO BE THE LARGEST AND MOST DIFFICULT IN THE WORLD TO MAINTAIN. MEMBERS OF THIS MISSION TRAVEL GREAT DISTANCES TO VISIT ESKIMO ENCAMPMENTS. KEEPING HEALTHY Proportiom Determine Weight By Dr. James W. Barton W HEN PHYSICIANS are doing special work in weight they usually put the individual in one of three classes: (a) heavy, * stocky and wide, (b) light, slender and narrow, and (c) normal type, neither stocky nor slender. Then they take the height measurement. In the normal type of build, the height of 5 feet 4 inches is average for women and 5 feet 7 inches is average for men. From experience they have found that a woman of average build, 5 feet 4 inches in height, should weigh 130 pounds and a man 5 feet 7 inches should weigh 150 pounds. Generally; for every inch of height above 5 feet 4 inches in a woman, 5 pounds is added and for every inch less, 5 pounds is subtracted. In men a pounds is allowed for every inch above or below 5 feet 7 inches. It was only a few years ago that a better method of finding the proper weight for women was an nounced in which the width of the body was stressed as the important factor. Dr. Helen Brenton Pryor, assistant women’s medical exam iner, Stanford University, stated, “If you’re worried about your weight as compared with the aver age for your height, forget it—con sider your width.” Dr. Pryor has worked out width- height tables based on five years’ study of some 10,000 children and college students. Instead of one normal weight as given on height tables, her scales give seven aver ages based on width as well as height. Thus if a girl of 18 is 5 feet 4 inches tall, she may normally weigh as little as 107 pounds if the width from the top of one hip bone to the top of the other is about 9% inches or as much as 133 pounds if she measures 12% inches. Tests that have been made so far show that injustice has been done to about 30 per cent of those measured and labelled too thin or too fat under the old height and weight tables. The stocky girl who pines to be willowy therefore should not starve herself but strive to keep her width-weight. ★ HEALTH NOTES ★ Loss of rest uses up the body’s tissues and energies. • • • Your shape affects your health and your habits affect your shape. • • * Other measurements besides height are used to determine cor rect weight. - • • • It is possible that some cases of epilepsy may be caused bj* defects of vision. • • • The individual with the short body and long legs is more likely to develop tuberculosis because of his narrow chest Where diabetes runs in a family, a member of the family may escape diabetes by avoiding over weight BY DR. KENNETH J. FOREMAN SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 65: 17-25; Acts 17:16-17, 22-28: Romans 10:12: Revela tion 21:1-8. DEVOTIONAL READING: Isaiah 2:2-4. World Citizens Dr. Foreman Lesson for September 23, 1951 D O YOU belong to the human race? It isn’t as large as you might think. Hendrik Willem Van Loon once figured out that you could make one box, half a mile long, half a mile wide and half a mile deep, and you could put into that box every man, woman and child in the entire world, packed in like sar dines of course, and then you could nail that box up and tip it over into the Grand Canyon. With the human race no bigger than that, isn’t it stupid of us not to get together? If you ever read Mark Twain’s fas cinating tale, "Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heaven,” you will remem ber how that mariner got lost on his way to heaven and arrived at the wrong gate. Since no one at that gate had ever heard of "the earth,” the captain finally identified himself as from the Solar System. Still no one had heard of it. Final ly some one discovered it, a tiny dot on an enormous map. The Cap tain was considerably taken down when he learned how small the earth is in the immense starry uni verse; and so might we all be. * * * Passengers on the Same Planet. I N THE EYES of God and his angels, this earth and the people on it do not fill up the big place they fill in the eyes of us mortals. This does not mean that we are unimportant to ourselves, or of no concern to God. Saint Paul gave us the Chris tian reason—always the best of reasons — why human beings ought to realize how close to gether we really are. Speaking to the university crowd at Athens, he quoted from a Greek poet to prove his point: "We be long to His race.” (Acts 17:28, Moffatt’s translation.) God made all peoples "from a common origin.” In him we liv^ and move and have our being. Re member that Paul was not speaking in a Christian church. Of course Christians are brothers in an even warmer and more living sense; but Paul could say, even to men who were not Christians as he was, that he and they were alike offspring of God, that they all had their being in the same Creator and Father. » + » The Importance of Being Human I F WE would only just stop pinning our little tags on people! We call them "foreigners” or “farmers” or "Canadians” or "college boys” or "Chinese.” So they are; but the most important fact about Chinese, or fishermen, or farmers or any other class of mankind, is that they are human beings. What we have in common, as human beings, is infinitely more im portant than the variations which set us off into different races, class es and groups. The Christian will be a loyal citizen of his own land; but he will also remember that he is a world-citizen too. And as a world-citizen, he will always re member certain truths about all his fellow human beings. One is that since we all have a common humanity, we all stand in need of God. It is not much exaggeration, if any, to say that to be human is to be helpless. Scholars write books with titles like “The Human Predicament,” which is a short way of saying that if you are humaq you are in a mess. You need God, whoever you are. But if you know that, then also remember that? fell other members of the human race need him too, quite as much as you do. • • • Our Lost Brothers P EMEMBER, too, that while all ** are summoned to the same destiny (as Paul said: "God com mands all men to repent”—n< fc just some of them!), many and many a man (must we say, alas, most' men?) misses that destiny. There Is a broad road leading to destruction, Jesus said, and many are traveling that road. How can a Christian be indiffer ent about a thing like thatf Every man on the dark road la a man who might be a Christian. From the dead-end road of self ishness, hatred and pride he might come over to the highway of God ... if some one took the trouble to go after him. But we shall not bother ourselves much, wo shall not bother ourselves enough, about our lost brothers, unless we have the world-citizen’s eye and the world-Christian’s heart.
