From Where We Stand...
Soiling Through Life
If we had an award for the “best
answer of the week” it would have to
go to Robert Manry, the 47-year-old
newspaperman who recently completed
a 78-day crossing of the Atlantic Ocean
in a 131-_>-foot dinghy he calls the “Tink
erbelle" When asked by an English re
porter whether he had set out to esta
blish a small boat record. Manry re
plied, no, he set out to cross the ocean
and the 30-year-old Tinkerbelle happen
ed to be the size boat he had'
Think about that a little bit; there’s
a moral in it that can benefit us all on
our voyage through life. Instead of
worrying about the size of the other
guy’s “boat”, why not simply decide
what course we want to steer through
life’s wild seas and use what we have to
its best advantage?
Manry’s one-man stunt showed
other virtues which we all need to con
sider as we take stock of what we are.
The greatest of these was probably cour-
age. Courage to face the challenge of the
unknown alone using only what he had
v and what he had learned. And he had
faith in himself. He prepared as thor
' oughly as possible. He knew what he
was up against and he tried to build
m advance an understanding of all the
trials he would encounter. He was so
sure his course was right that he stuck
to it inspite of rough seas and lashing
gales, and he struck his target, Fal
mouth, England, right smack on the
nose.
Bob Manry’s world will never be
quite the same again, writes one of his
fellow-workers. If each of us could take
incentive from this man’s efforts and
apply them to our daily lives, we would
find our private world too was changed
for the better If we could thus im
prove enough “small worlds”, perhaps
a little bit might even rub-off on the
big world’

Free Rent
In discussing the United Nations
and its worsening financial condition,
the late Ambassador Adlai Stevenson
once said, “ . . . the house resounds end
lessly with family quarrels. There are
cracks in the walls, and inside the cold
winds of war and danger and strife from
every quarter of the globe rattle the
doors and windows. And as usual in such
cases, quite a few of the tenants are
behind on the rent.”
Last week the United States
through its new Ambassador, Arthur
Goldberg, said in effect, “all is for
given; anytime you boys don’t care to
pay up, don’t worry about it; Uncle’s
got more money than he knows what
to do with anyway. And the Russians
bluffed us out again!
The U S said officially that the
year-long deadlock in the General As
sembly had to be ended or the U.N.
would be rendered useless. So we pick
ed up the tab, as usual. The experts say
that the money was secondary to the
principle the principle in this case
being the continuing role of the U.N. as
world policeman. Perhaps they are right.
We couldn’t get off our own goal line
with stubbomess alone, so, as in some
football situations, we kick the ball
back to the opposition and play for a
break.
This was done not as a solution, but
as an easing of the existing impasse. It’s
a desperate strategy, and without know
ing what events may unfold in the
future to act upon the players, no one
can predict whether it will work.
Goldberg does not have a record of
playing on the losing team, nor does his
record suggest he will give away points
needlessly to the other team. We hope
that he and “the coach” will not be too
eager to repeat that “giveaway play”
again in this game. They’re behind the
opposition on points, and the late after
noon shadows already hang heavy over
the stadium C’mon team! We NEED
a touchdown!

our wrestling is not against
flesh and blood, he says. He calls
our enemies “principalities and
powers, world-rulers of darkness
. . . spiritual hosts of wickedness
in heavenly places.” He does not
explain what these arc; but it is
clear that the pressures on the
Christian are most dangerous be
cause their source is supernat
ural. The terrifying thought here
is that wc as Christians, as hu
nun beings indeed, are under at

shrewd and vicious than all our
