By The Rev. Charles H. Gilbert
In Virgil's book of the travels of his
great hero Aeneus comes the story of
how he could get together so many
stories about events before he awoke
* from his dream, or came back after
: death. He managed to get his return
~ trip across the Styx without drinking
© of the river Lethe. He was supposed to
! drink of that water which could make
* him forget all he had seen.
. Idon’t remember how be bribed his
way past that. But some of that en-
tered into one of my bad dreams back
in the days of my schooling. 1
dreamed I was waiting to be executed
by hanging, already I was adjusting
the noose about my own neck!
As I dreamed it I remembered I had
dreamed this dream many times
before, but 1 had forgotten other
details.
At least I got the story in my diary.
and most dreams never stay long
enough to get recorded. But on this
dream occasion 1. found Virgil's
“doctrine, differing from that of
i varying forms of higher or lower life,
| is simply a teaching that the soul
doctrine knows: a§: metempsychosis,
and 1 can hear the very soul of my
professor's voice pronouncing it; it is
a word 1 have never forgotten.
It is agreeable to me that I have no
memory of any of the murders I was
supposed to have committed in order
to bring on this series of hangings in
order for eternal justice to be done!
Well, I hereby declare my intention
never to do any more murders! And
hope for no hangings. My aim, by the
grace of God, is to live this life to its
highest and best possibility.
Something else recorded in this old
diary which was no dream, but a
memory of a very fine man whose
memory I venerate. He was William
H. Heidel, teacher of Greek in my first
and only semester at Wesleyan
University in Middletown, Conn.
I may have chosen his course
because of his reputation as a
philospher. At any rate I admired his
quiet dignity, no wrathful sawing of
the air nor shouting his opinions.
The book we were studying was
**Euthyphro,’’ the account of a
dialogue between Socrates and this
youth whom he met
Socrates had a way of developing his
philosophy and teaching it by what we
question, and then invovlving the
student in further cross-questioning
intentions as he tried to justify
himself.
+ For example, the story was that
Euthyphro was in town on the errand
of bringing his own father to law for
some fault or other. Socrates began
questioning the motives and reasons
for the young man's action, for the

youth was having to justify his action
on some general grounds of behavior.
Socrates had the poor boy so wound
up and entangled in his own reasons
that he finally gave up in disgust and
went off home, anything to get away
from this Socrates. Woe be to anyone
to whom Socrates would come
wanting to know wisdom, for Socrates
held a kind of simple doubt about
anyone claiming to be wise in any
matter. He always appeared as one
who wanted to learn wisdom from
anyone who claimed to have it.
I finally had to give up that
semester of college and returned to
the farm where the balance of my
nerves was restored. But after some
weeks or months I got to thinking of
that man with the neatly trimmed
beard and quiet calmness of voice,
and I felt impelled to write him a
letter of appreciation.
I had no idea my letter would bring
so much pleasure to his brilliant but
humble mind. What I do remember is
the one word he used to describe the
tribute I paid himm:**I'did not realize
that 1 was at all worthy of your en-
comium!”
I did not know it was ' ‘an
‘‘ecomium,’’ but I have . never
forgotten its meaning. And because I
remember that word se-wellI have all
the more cherished the memory of
that man as a philosopher and
scholar, and with it many of the
teachings of Socrates.

The preacher had an idea. Rice

weddings had done no good. Not one
shoot in all those yéars grew to cover
the bare spots.
So at a recent wedding he tried his
idea. He gave guests waiting for the
bride and groom generous handfuls of
grass seed, suggesting they aim once
for the happy couple and once for the

The spaceships are joined in the
vastness over the land mass Europe.
The American extends a hand, joins it
with Asian and in a tongue
“foreign” to him asks how he is.
The Asian responds it is good to see
him...These men have turned the
whole world upside down. (Acts 17:6)
In America a skepticism exists. In a
tongue all their own, men make the
remark the joining of hands should be
done on earth first, not in the vastness
of space. They forget the symbolism’
of the book many men live by. They
forget the apple and the snake, they
forget the three crows of the cock,
they forget the filling of the wine
bottles, the parting of the sea...But
His disciples then began to ask him
what the parable meant. He said to
them: To you is given to know the
mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to
the rest in parables that seeing they
may not see and hearing they may not:
understand. Now the parable is thus:
(Luke Chap. 8, Ver. 4-5).
A people threatened with nuclear
Holocaust and fear from another
people join with them in a nuclear
venture. They grow in two years of
intense training to know each others
as comrades, friends. They are no
longer the ‘enemies’ of what history
books term a “cold war’.
Symbolising their camaraderie, they
exchange a greeting of peace, in the
universal language of affection, body
holy kiss. (II Cor. 13: 11-13
On earth a television camera shows
Americans the true affection the men
share. The word ‘“Tvardish’’ is heard,
memories of the old ‘red’ movies
flash before the Americans, the evil
doing communists intent on ruling the
world enter their thoughts. One
hundred and forty miles above them
the Asians and Americans can view in
entirety 1-25th of that world.
_ Neither the Asian nor American
wishes himself ruler of the world,
rather they wish to share its beauty as
they conduct tours of their portion for
one another. In separate cabins, men
from the two continents join together
to share fun, problems, talk,
nourishment...Share the needs of the
saints practicing hospitality...To no
man render evil for evil, but provide
good things not only in the sight of God
but in the sight of all men. (Romans
12: 13 and 17).
Parting, they wish each other luck
-and seal the passage between them.
The seal will not endure eternity.
They plan a reunion on earth to
share the knowledge produced by the
gathering of ‘‘reds’’ and ‘‘capitalists”’
who had discovered a new aspect of
humanity, sharing love and
knowledge with their ‘“‘en
emies’’....Finally brothers goodbye.
Change your ways, listen to what I
have told you, live in agreement and
peace and ‘may the God of love and
peace be with you. Greet one another
with the Holy kiss. ~~
“
All the faithful here send their
greeting. (I Cor. 13:11-13).
In America they prayed for the safe
return of both the Asians and the
Americans. Let us hope they are
joined by the Asians in seeing through
the parable and know the mystery of
the Kingdom of earth.
