The Preacher And Expert On Social Problems LL 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 I, not being good, am shocked sometimes and had better make a clean breast of it.

Forgotten Woman WAS badly shocked recent- ly when I heard A five minutes broadcast 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 "dole" was 210W 01 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 broadcaster said it was shocking that a man's family should be decided by economic considerations.

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

The Pacifists

often shocked in church. For instance, hear a sernion 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. Some people are shocked 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.

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:

And, if you can imagine it, are you not shocked at witch 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-

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.

Subject: Overleave, Reason For

THE following letter addressed to his com- manding officer was written 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, S20, U.S. Navy, To: Commanding Officer. Vin: 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 barned down all except the brick silo, 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 silo so that the necessary bricks could be hoisted to the top of the sllo where the repair work was going on. Then wo 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 silo 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 casier 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 lingers 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 pretty hard on the pile of bricks because at that time I lost my presonco of mind and let go of the line and the barrel came down' and hit ine squarely on the head.

The doctor wouldn't let me start back to the ship until September 16, which made me two days' overleave, which I don't think is too much under the circumstances.
