These Things Shock Me

By

Contempt is one of the atti-. tudes of mind that make wars. If pacifists are con-

Dr Maude Royden temptuous, they are not paci-

The Preacher And Expert

On Social Problems

ALL of us are shocked

in these days by such things as war and totali- tarianism: but I myself am not at all shocked at some of the things that shock, other people and am really badly shocked at things that don't shock them at all.

It is a silly habit, being shocked. I must get out of it. Really good people are seldom, if ever, shocked.

However, I must admit that 1, not being good, am shocked sometimes and. had better make a clean breast of it.

Forgotten Woman

I WAS badly shocked recent-

ly when I heard a five minutes brondenst which was intended to lift up my heart for the day.

To my surprise, the uplift- ing thought was of a man who had been on the "lole" was now on Public Assistance, and had begotten six (or was it seven?) children.

He was perplexed at be- ing told by the guardians that he ought to know where to stop, and by his priest, who Said that he ought not to stop anywhere.

The broadenster-said-it-was- shocking that a man's family should be decided by economic considerations.

I agreed; but what shocked me was that he hud apparently never noticed that it is not the man who has ba- bies but the woman.

How far the size of a fami- ly should depend on ker wishes, her health and her strength, seemed to me worthy of consideration by

Tho priest, and (c) the broadcas- ter.

The Pacifists

HERE is another thing. A really good pacifist said the other day that pacifists could not help feeling con- tempt for other pacifists who (like me) had changed their views about

war during the Inst year-and-a-half.

Well, they ought to help it.

fists but Pharisees, and Pharisees are shocking.

In Church

I

often shocked in church. For instance, hear a sermon on the parable of the talents,

People are scolded for not using the talents they have, but there is no reference to the really shocking fact that only one in a hundred of us ever gets a chance of using them.

That does shock me.

shocked Some people are when I preach-not at what I say but at its being a woman who says it.

I am shocked at their dis- gusting ideas about the nature of women.

I assure you that this brought me some of the worst shocks of my life. Here is what one bishop said when a vicar asked permission for me to preach in his church:

"Dr Royden may preach if it is not called a sermon."

"If she does not stand in

the pulpit."

"If she does not wear a sur- plice."

Can you imagine the Al- mighty closely examining the notice board to see whether I was to deliver a sermon or an' address?

And, if you can imagine it, are you not shocked at such a silly idea about God?

For my part, I should res- pect far more highly the vicar and choir men who, because I was forbidden to wear a sur- plice- sexless garment, if ever there was one-would not wear their surplices either, but walked into church · in their cassocks.

Most Of All . THE other day, a friend said

to me with heartfelt sin- cerity, "God was good to us last night." That gave me a jolt.

It is true that a bomb had fallen in my garden, and hurt no one; but, is God only good to us sometimes? Or always good, but sometimes very good? Or good to everyone but very good to say my friend and me?

On the whole, I believe it is the things that people think about God that shock me most.

I must certainly get over it, for, if He were capable of such foolishness, He must be shocked at me.

"Put this fire-cracker under him, Jeeves! I will answer

for the consequences!"

Subject: Overleave, Reason For

THE following letter addressed to his com- manding officer was writton by Second Class Seaman R. E. Wilson, United States Navy, in explanation for overstaying his leave The letter was originally published in The Houghton Line house magazine.

-

From: R. E. Wilson, S2C. U.S. Navy, To: Commanding Officer. Via: Division Officer, 1st Division. Subject: Overleave, reason for. On Sept. 7. I left the ship on ten days' leave at my brother's farm at Cobblerock, Ark.

On Sept. 10, my brother's barn burned. down all except the brick allo, which was dam- aged at the top by the bolt of lightning which started the fire.

On Sept. 11, he decided to repair the silo right away because he had to get his corn in it. I was going to help him.

I rigged a barrel hoist to the top of the sllo so that the necessary bricks could be hoisted to the top of the silo where the repair work was going on. Then we hoisted up several hundred bricks. This later turned out to be too many bricks.

After my brother got all the brickwork re- paired there was still a lot of brick at the, top of the allo on the working platform we had built. I said I would take it all 'down' below, So I climbed down the ladder and hauled the

barrel all the way up. Then I secured the line with a sort of slip knot so I could undo it easier later.

Then I climbed back up the ladder and piled bricks into the barrel until it was full. I climbed back down the ladder. Then I untied the line to let the bricks down. How- ever, I found the barrel of brick heavier than I was and when the barrel started down, I started up. I though of letting go, but at that time I was so far up I thought it would be safer to hang on. Half way up, the barrel hit me on the shoulder pretty hard but I still hung on.

I was going pretty fast at the top and bumped my head. My fingers also got pinched. In the pulley block. However, at the same time- the barrel hit the ground and the bottom fell out of it, letting all the brick out.

I was then heavier than the barrel and down again, I got burned on the leg by the other rope as I went down until I met the barrel again which went by faster than before and took the skin off my shins.

*****

I guess I landed protty hard on the pile of bricks because at that time I lost my presence of mind and lat go of the line and the barrel came down and hit me squarely on the head.

The doctor wouldn't let me start back to the ship until September 10, which made me two days overleave, which I don't think le too much under the circumstances.
