To choose the books the follow ing question was asked: “If -you were shipwrecked on, exiled to, or upon the advice of your psychia trist, spending the remainder of your life on a desert island, which five books would you take along?” The top ten were, besides “War and Peace,” “Abraham Lincoln*’ by Carl Sandburg (the only living writer to make the top 20), “The Oxford Book of English Verse,” “Huckleberry Finn and Tom Saw yer by Mark Twain,” “The De cline and Fall of the Roman Em pire” by Edward Gibbon, “Wal den” by Henry David Thoreau, “Don Quixote” by Miquel Cervan tes, “The Divine Comedy” b y Dante Alignieri, “Sherlock Hol mes’ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and “The Golden Bough” by Jas. Gordon Frazer. The contributors to the survey, among whom were eight Pulitzer Prize winners and several best sell ing novelists, showed a marked preference for fiction, with 152 of the 356 books chosen falling into that category. Next came history and biography, with 69 books; po etry, 45; philosophy and theology, 38. Scripture, Shakespeare, encyclo pedias and “how-to-do-it, books were ruled ; out for this' compila- tibn, the contributors being told to assume the island to be well- stocked with them. nigirt, at 7:15 in the church.

Whether we like the idea or not, it is most certainly true, and there is nothing we can do about it. Nothing? That depends on what we mean. Assuredly we can do nothing to stop the sands of time from running through the hour glass of life, but we can do much to make those hours worth while, and the Church stands ever ready to help us. The Church is made up of people like us, working together to spread the mes sage of the gospel. The Church brings comfort to those who sorrow, gives strength to those who are weak. The Church needs us to help carry on its work. When we are busy in the Church helping others, we do not worry over the ceaseless flow of the sands of time. Are you doing your part in the Church? Do you need its help? Its doors are open, its welcome unchanging. “The sands of time are sinking fast”—• how, are you spending the days and hours?

ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest fac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse oi spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support.
