Greater Love Than This No Man Hath
Amel'ica- indeed, the whole worldrecently
has lost two of its best loved
eitizeu.s--Pt·esident Frunklin Delano Roose~
velt and Ernie Pyle.
It ma~' seem strange to some to see the
names of these two men-apparently so
unlike in background and personality- so
closely linked; and yet both possessed, in
seemingly unmeasured quantity, those
qualities which make men great. Each devoted
his life to the 1n·omotion of the wellbeing
or his fellow men, and the work of
each was climaxed by a death that can
well be compared with the "supreme sacrifice"
of the front line soldier.
Our country has passed through perhaps
the most critical period of its history in
the past ten yeors. Never before did we t he
people need so urgently a powerful, wellt•
·aincd leader. God in His Providence sent
us s uch n man-Franklin D. Roosevelt. It
is only now, after his death, that many of
us have come to t·ea lize the greatness of
this man. \Ve miss his forceful, yet friendly,
voice urging us on to greater triumphs.
When wc speak o£ the 14Big Three,"
$Omehow it still seems natural to considel'
Mr. Roosevclt a men1ber. fli$ chair at con~
ferenees may be empty, but his uoexeelled
and unending efforts m the past, and the
courage and spirit be left to his s uccessor
nnd all the people of the world mukes
F1·nnktin D. Roosevelt n permanent membet
· of t he new world union. For all this,
we owe OU.I' most sincere thanks, and our
most devoted pt·ayers.
Ernie Pyle outwardly was the extt·enu~
opposite of our lntc president, but basically
he was mnde of the same '"$tuff" which
endeared both to the hea1·ts of men. Newspaper
reportcors t.oo often tend to overlook
the u-little man*' in their efforts to please
the n'lo1·e important citizens. En1ie Pyle,
however, took just the opposite stand and
devoted his life's WOI'k to making t he ulit.tle
man1
" the important man.
Too much has already been Wl'itten and
spoken about his devotion to the ordinary
foot-soldiers, and his willingness to share
with them all the misery and horror of
their lives in combot for much to be added
bet·e. \Ve will indeed miss Ernie Pyle's
chatty, homely columns. Doubtless his
place will nevet· be filled, fot· few men
have the deep understanding and love of
men plus the ability to express ond convey
this feeling to others.
At the same time that we pt·ay fot· the
welfare of the souls of these two gt·eat
men, we should also remembe1· in om·
ptnyers the spiritual and material well
being of our new J)resident Hany S. Truman
has bef!n called ft·om cornpal'ative obscurity
to the highest office nod honor in
our count1·y~ under the most favorable cil'cumstanees~
this is a most difficult task;
with present conditions the V:\stness and
difficulties o.f the job are almost incomprehensible.
Therefore, let. us often remember
Mt·. 'I'l·-uman and J)ray that he may lead
our count1·y successfuly ftom the ravages
of war to a high place in world unity and
pence.

FOUND IN TODAY'S MAIL
Dear Angel,
Last night, as usual, right after choir
practice, 1 s lipped down t.o Beaven's trnp,.
door, tugged it open, and felt the cool evening
breeze swirl up and •·uffle my hah-. I
loved to spend my nights there just looking
and listening and wishing.
Lying down flat on my chest with my
chin resting on my arms, and my legs stick.
ing up into the air, 1 peeped over Heaven's
cloudputfy edge-and there was earthexc
iting, a11uring, intangible ea1·th.
l could see the s un sliding down the
western side of the world like a sled down
n snow-covered hill, and as I watched,
lights began to blossom out all over the
city below me. It made me think of a city
waking up artet· a blackout.
I notia~d how particularly Jovety e~~~·y·
thing looked last night. The air was so
clear, T could a lmost reach out and touch
Illy miniatUl'C earthly fairyland. I fe)t SO
close . - •
And then I heard it, drifting up on a
l>layful wind - the •·hythmieal beat of
ivory-white piano keys catering to a Lilting,
enchanting melody. My feet began to
swing in time to the music. And then I
heard another sound-a trumpet was tuning
up. Another· joined it and soon a clarinet
chimed in. Finally, there emerg-ed only
a mi.xture of dissonant notes--all dominated
b)' the magic keys of the piano. It didn't
~ound as if they were tuning up for n concc.
rt: it must be a dance. That w1ls it~
"Oh, if only I could go to a dance just
once and see whnt it's like.''
''\Veil, why don't you.?"
I didn't realize I had wished out loud
and the deep voice startled me so, T nearly
tumbled off into space. I knew before I
seam1lercd up and twirled around who it
was. There stood the chief angel with •
book in his hand.
uno you n~ally mean T can go down
there on eattlt and listen to the mu.sie and
watch the dancers and even, maybe, dance
myself?"
"Certain1y, I've been noticing you pining
around up here, and I think it'll do you
good Co on now-you'd better hun:y. The
dance will be ovet· before you get there ii
you poke m·ound nny longer."
1 was too breathless to speak nnd by the
t ime I co uld cry "Thank you! Oh, thank
you!" the chief angeJ wa,s out of sight. I
plucked a fluffy edge from a nearby cloud
and dabbed my shiny nose with it once or
twice. Then I fluffed out my h(lir, shook
out my dress, and 3kippcd down the stnrs
to earth.
BefOl'C r knew it, I found myself before
a parish hall with a huge sign strung
over the door identify-ing "St. Michael 's
Youth Club."
Ea.ger and excited, I was swept in wit.h
a laughing group o! red-l ipped girls and
wavy-haired boys, do'"" the s tairs to the
smooth dance floor. I hardly had t ime to
notice the harvest moon decorations. the
gay lilt of the music, and the other dancing
couples, before 1 found myself swaying
in t·hythm in the arms of a good-looking
boy clad In a plaid shirt.
For one instant, I felt as if I had seen
him before somewhere in Heaven, as i1 1
knew him intimately, but that was impossible.
I smiled inwardly as I wondered what
he would think ii he knew I was an angel.
The music was sweet and mc1low and we
whirled 'round and 'round and '•·ound, so
that it seemed like one long wonderful
dance instead of a series o( them.
Little s iJvet· stars in a navy-blue sky
were playing peek-a-boo with each othc.r
behind big puffy night clouds as we left
the dance hall, scuffing through the leaves
like little children. I was at liberty to
choose any house I wished as home, for 1
couldn't tell him who I t'enlly was.
It was so peaceful here outside. so cnlm
and natural-different !rom tbe artificial
ntmosphet·c of the danoe hall, and I found
mysel( rat.hc1· sorry to burst my pipe-dream
and admit it. Maybe I had dreamed too
much. I had painted things, <1uite a few
out of my t•each, as something they weren't
something won.det'fuJ and exciting, surpa..ss:
ing my own little wol'ld in glory. I d~
cided that pet·hap; some things did loo~
better from • distance. Maybe it was bet
te-,· to leave some things just for the dt·camj
ing. j
We walked a long and I felt strange!~
At ease with this bo;r. l had my arm in hi
and it felt as if it belonged there. In soml
way or anothet·, be was different 1rom th,
other boys I had noticed that evening. 11
would seem funny not seeing him again. I
felt as if l hod known hil:n iot· years, inj
stead of for th1·ee little hours.
Finally. I decided I had better turn i
at one of t he houses-but his arm tight
Pnl?d on mino.
"And whet·e do you think you're going!
"Home. 1 live bere.-''
" \\'ell, J 'm sorry to butt in, but see tha
lowest star over there in the so uth? Thar
the first •tep you take towards home
angel." J
"Angel?" I looked nt him half-incredu
lously and then a wonderful grin sprea
over his faec.
''The chief sent me down to keep a
eye on you and keep you out of trouble
Mad?"
"Oh, no!" And I smiled happily. Every
l.hing wa~ wonderful. 1 wouldn't have t
leave him now. We could climb the stan
back to Heaven togethet·.
"And besides," he continued, ul'm gla
he sent me." He lo'''ered his voice. ~~~
fact, dear angel, 1 had a heavenly time"he
put his free band on my cheek an
kissed me gently on the lips-"a pet·!ectl
heavenly time!"

Sissy Stuff- Poetry
"Sissy stuff-poetry I"
1 looked inta he•· eye•. I wns reminded
o! the Lower Bas in St1·ect Blues. T couldn't
fight back. She was bigger than l was and
besides she was majo1·ing in math. 1 wiped
a tear on the back of a crippled hand,
careful not to kno<:k the pla•ter otf my
\YTiter'$ corn.
" \Vait till my editor bears about this!"
Talk about the power of one line ...
Dam it! T wish I had 118id it. Throwing
her one last look which ~creamed "Touche!"
I ruefully n·udged the tra il of the lonesome
J)ine. Pine as in lament. Sissy stuff,
eh? ... My shouldCI"8 stopped beneath t he
burden q! cloudless elhnes nnd ~tarry skies,
of flowers stutk in crttnnied walls . .. But
I mustn't think of tho•• things. Didn't I
want to grow up to be a big ~b-ong girl
and solve logarithmic triangles! U I'd only
eat my Wheaties every day instead or
chewing on blades of grass!
Night came. I rode. I to .. ed and lashed
upon cloudy seos. It was awful. My nightmn•
·e would have made Silver look like the
l'nCI'CUI"Y in a r.-ozen LhcJ•mometer. Then it
happened. I stood there. My eyes properly
dilated, strained at the lids as the pearly
gates swung before me. I put my foot in
the door. T know. I'm working my way
through eoUege. As I said. my foot was
In the door stuck between two fat pearl$.

old sea-shell. What a dive!
J'm still in t he doo•·· I looked at my

amazing man, Dale Carnegie. I won a
friend and influenced - where is every·
body! There •itling in row B Center. was
Algebra. I smiled at her. I take back what

"How did you get in!" l growled, not
caring to beat about the bush.
'"I solved a trinngle," the Basin Streel
Blues t winkled. Byes Il l up all m·ound
me. "We nil solved Lrinngles," they shim·
meJ•ed. They ltlughed. 1'hey stat·ed. My
rriend of the flaming sword stood over n1e.
''And, what have you done?u he $8id.
I thought of Damatcus.
" I wrote a POem." My voice sounded
like cracked ice.
"You wha1 ?" The sword !ell.
"You dropped tiOmething," I said. proud
of my power of ob~ervatio n , "Right on

''Take her uway." A gnvcl pounded three

thing I knew I was put in my place-row
