‘War & Peace’
Named Choice
Of 150 Writers
According to a list compiled
by Broadcast Music, I n c.,
from some 150 authors, book
critics, editors and other liter
ary figures who have contrib
uted to BMI’s “The Book Parade,”
Leo Tolstoy’s great novel “War
and Peace” is the number one
choice.
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.

Going To Irving
Fowler To Leave
Church of Christ
James F. Fowler, pastor of the
A&M Church of Christ, will leave
College Station Jan. 1 to serve
the Deleware and Irving Church
of Christ in Irving. Fowler came
to the A&M church in 1946, suc
ceeding R. B. Sweet who had ser
ved as the church’s pastor since
its founding in 1935.
During his ministry here the
church has made a steady growth
in every department of its work.
Among the physical improvements
were two classroom buildings, air-
conditioning, a nursery and a $53,-
000 extension to the auditorium.
Annual contributions have increas
ed during the last decade from
$4,000 to more than $19,000, and
the 1956 budget exceeds $21,000.
In addition to the regular preach
ing work Fowler taught Bible
courses in the college’s Religious
Education curricula.
Robert E. Davidson, associate
minister who works with the 340
Aggies wh® attend the church, will
finish Fowler’s teaching/ obliga
tions as well as serving as interim
minister until a successor for Fow
ler can be found.
“We find it very difficult to re
sign and leave the wonderful peo
ple at College Station,” Fowler
said. “However, we go to our new
work with enthusiasm and with
the faith that it is for the best.
In addition to a very challenging
work, the move will afford us spe
cial medical facilities in Dallas
which are needed by one of our lit
tle girls.”
Mr. and Mrs. Fowler have four
children, three of Who have been
Limes F. Fowler
Leaving College Station
attending A&M Consolidated. He
and his wife are graduates of Abi

prior to his move to College Sta
tion.

THE SANDS OF TIME
Remember that old song which says,
“the sands of time are sinking fast”?
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?

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . ; .
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. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
