Nov. 13, 1952 There was a red-backed poetry book, used in the high achools in British Columbia several years ago, called “Nineteenth Century Poet- ry", edited by Ira Dilworth. It is, for my money, as fine an anthology of verse that you could find, and since it was used in the ancient and misty days before the rental plan, you could probably find quite a few in various nooks and attics, gathering dust. However, since I enjoy the poems it contains more now probably than when I had to learn them, mine gathers dust only periodical- ly, being dragged forth reg- ularly on one occasion or an- other.

With the papers full of politics, death, disaster and advertisements for coal bills, we go about with our heads ina black cloud and our eyes on the ground as we hurry unseeingly along. Yet all about us is the pageantry of autumn with a wealth of beauty to last a lifetime. Carpets of leaves, misty hills blazing in red and gold, while the blue-green Colum- bia coldly presages the com- ing winter. Visitors and newcomers Nomads tell us that this is one of the most breathtakingly beauti- ful districts that they have ever seen and at no time is it so breathtaking as now. The beauties of nature are one of the few things left to us that are completely free. There is a very real danger that by failing to use our senses to appreciate beauty, that very ability may be lost and we would be poor, indeed, without it. Itis a poor thing, too, that others must point out to us that which we are too preoccupied to notice for ourselves. Dream of Alaska By BARRY SHLACHTER PESHAWAR (AP) — tribe of nomads who have fled communism for half a century — from the Soviet Union to Afghanistan to Pakistan — harbors a dream to settle in Alaska, along with’ their thousands of sheep, camels and yaks. Rahman Qul, leader of the Kirghiz tribesmen, trav- elled last May to the U.S. consulate in Peshawar to present a letter addressed to U.S. President Jimmy Car- ter. It requested permission to settle the remnants of his tribe in the “land of freedom” —particularly in Alaska. Qul, a man in his 60s, told a consulate official he first heard of Alaska about five years ago when a UN wildlife expert showed him photos of Alaska’s moun- tains, Qul says his tribe lived a spartan existence in Af- ghanistan, surviving on the milk, meat and wool derived from their animals. They heated their round yurts — tents of skins stretched over poles — with sheep dung, which was also their cooking fuel. But since the tribe of about 1,400 people migrated two years ago, more than 150 have died. Qu! blames the deaths on the change in cli- mate from the 5,000-metre heights of Afghanistan to the level of 2,000 metres near the town of Gilgit, 565 kilometres northeast of Peshawar. The summers are hotter than the Kirghiz are used to, and-malaria has taken many lives.” Qul has prospered in Pakistan. He traded some of his livestock and opened a shop in Gilgit dealing in tribal handicrafts, carpets and fab- Tics. Pulpit. & Pew . by Ministers In the Waat Kobténdy ~ Ba 4+ By PASTOR IRA JOHNSON (Church of God) “The Value of the Bible” Some people regard the bible with scorn, others look upon’ it as being almost magical, many have never bothered to read it seriously.

Yet, in spite of the fact that most of these people never knew each other, or had an opportunity to “com- pare notes”, there is a re- markable unity running to each of the bible books, it will open up to them the meaning of life and the way of life in a way that no other ‘book can dol the bible.

John 3:16 could well be quoted as the central message of the bible. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever. believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” It was William A. Ward who said: “The bible deals dramatically with difficulties that discourage us, tempta- tions that test us and prob- lems that plague us..It richly reveals the Christ Who can change us, the friend who can free us, and.the light who can lead us.” Sometime ago, a re- ligious periodical carried the account of a certain skeptic in London who insisted it was quite impossible in these ‘ days to believe in any book whose authority) was un- known. A Christian asked him.if the compiler of the mutipli- cation table was known. “No,” He answered. “Then of course you do not believe in it,” persisted the other. “Ob yes, I believe in it because it works well.” “So does the bible,” was the rejoinder, and the skeptic had no answer.
