One Thanksgiving Memory
, I heard an oldish man say
Thursday that he dreads holidays
like Thanksgiving and Christmas
on account of they bring up so
many memories. He was standing
under a markee, waiting for a bus,
and the rain was drip, drip, drip
ping from the markee, making: a
sad sound to a man, if he happen
ed to be attuned to sadness, which
this man was. Three or four spar
rows were hopping about on the
walk at his feet. . He was enter
taining the sparrows by chewing
up popcorn and s p 1 1 1 i ng it at
them, and a good time was being
had by all when I happened along.
It's' odd, isn't Jt, how a sparrow
knows a friendly man from an un
friendly one? i Not that I am un
friendly to sparrows. Only, In this
instance I had spoiled a game, and
the tiny birds did not like it very
well. .They hopped away down the
walk with their tail-feathers flick
ing disgustedly and' their noses
sticking up..", v '.: . !
?.'Memories "cluster around hol
idays', said the man musingly, his
eyes following the birds. "Most
holiday memories are happy ones,
but some ain't. Some of 'em make
you - sad, some' of ,'em make, you
glad; and some of 'em make you
mad. About 30 years ago, when I
came to. this valley, after a long

I met him on a Thanksgiving day
morning, and because he had a
lonesome look, and further be
cause I had been for some time
living in a region where strangers
asked no questions of one another,
I invited him up to dinner. He
said his name wasBIxby, which
was all right with me.
"Well, along about second help

Incidents of a Damp Week
An old gentleman, in the Mill
creek section got his feet wet up
to his knees. Had his glasses on
crooked and missed the log across
the creek. Declares somebody
moved the log. Which nobody did.
Portia's statement that the gen
tle rain from heaven falls alike on
the Just and the unjust was heard
in numerous places during the
week. Shakespeare is not so dead
as Some folks try to make out.
An East Salem baby was play
ing with a tin can in which several
dried peas had been put. Grand
ma in another room exclaimed,
"Mercy! how at rains"! (Special
note: the bab4 did not get the can
open and put one of the dried peas
up its nose, but it wasn't because
the darling did not try.)
That vivacious stream, the San
tiam, : gave its usual interesting
performance under inspiration of
a copious rainfall during the
week. ':; " . '
That story of the time when
boats came up from the river to
the court house has been in cir
culation again. Wet weather stor

I seldom fall to remember, when
the rain is falling, the story Mark
Twain told of the time he went
down to Alexandria, Mo., a short
distance below the Iowa line, to
see a man. He went down on a
boat from St. Louis. The trin was
not a very satisfactory one. He

Something to Remember. By
ELIZABETH STANCY PATNE.
This is a light, slightly amusing
love story. Susan Jones, the hero
ine, sets, forth on a cruise to New
foundland. She draws a cabin
mate also named Jones, - but the
latter becomes Injured In an ac
cident ' and is taken to the hos
pital Just before . the boat : sails.
When they came to remove her
trunk, Susan's trunk becomes re
moved Instead, Susan doesn't dis
cover the mistake until, the ship
is well underway.' She has the al
ternative of using the clothes in
the trunk or wearing only. the
dress she came aboard -in. Final
ly she decides to use the clothes
In the trunk. The 'clothes are rec
ognised by a man on board and
the situation is complicated by
Susan's loosing her purse.
Those who like really good stor-1
ies, won't of course, care much for
this. Susan seems unusually, weak
and indecisive for an American
girl. The story Is filled with too
many coinefdents and the man of
the story Isn't exactly" like any
modern young man we have met.
For thi readers who enjoy Lor

Lee, this will be' a nice variation.
Elizabeth Stancy Payne has long
been a favorite among readers of
this type story. In this she for
sakes the' home-and-garden back
ground of her recent novels and
goes to sea. She. is evidently well
acquainted with the background

: The Perils of Modernizing Je
sus. By . Henry J. Cadbnry. Mae-
millan. $2.00. 1037.
Anachronisms, one could easily
believe, in reading "The Peril of
Modernizing of Jesus," form a
hobby, for Dr. Cadbury. He is -continuously
pointing out one or an
other he has found in this or that
place. He tells us that on a visit
to the Holy Land, he once saw, in
the -Church of the Holy Sepulchre
in Jerusalem, a statue of Mary
wearing a wrist watch.
He objects to "0 Little Town of
Bethlehem", being sung in the
film production of Louisa M. Al
cott's "Little Women" in a scene
during Civil War days when Phil
lip Brooks didn't write it until
1868, "four years too late for the
civil war setting, and it was in
fact "not published until 1894."
The author points out several oth
er anachronisms equally interesting.-
: ,
While he admits that such glar
ing errors as the wrist watch ep
isode seldom appear in present-
day books on the life of. Christ,
there is a dangerous tendency to
modernize Jesus. Modern writers
too often, he -believes, lack hlstor-

ical perspective and consequently
anachronisms! and sentimentali
ties creep Into their writing.-
- "Could - we ever be induced,"
Cadbury writes,; "to return to the
portrait of Jesus as simply given
by the gospels,' while we might
not assure ourselves that even
this ' was entirely authentic,- we
should at least appreciate how
much less authentic modern por
traits often are." And. he adds,
"In aiming to make Him Jesus)
real and, human It (modem the
ologjcJ made him real and mod
ern." - --J i
He explains the cause , of mod
ernization as "lack of interest or
trained imagination .necessary to
reconstruct an. ancient scene."
An Interesting part of the book
deals with the very human trait
which : Dr.' Cadbury terms "self-
flattery,
" He says: ? "
Nearly every word of enthus
iastic praise for truths we think
we find In Him is really only a
claim of His support for our own
view ; point." The author calls to
our attention how frequently we
use ' the expression, "It is very
good, I have always felt that way
about the matter myself," ' "
Dr. Cadbury elaborates this
with -"we flatter , - ourselves ' by
praising His : (Christ's) universal
ity, his m eder ness, his Insights
since we mean by these things
merely our own Judgment in the
areas . where we are quoting
Him. -
Dr. Cadbury i insists the first
necessity is to know ourselves,
"to allow for this tendency and to
discount it and to attempt to neu
tralize it." He speaks of this ten
dency toward modernization . of
Jesus, as "neither honorable nor
profitable." He urges us to an efr
fort "to learn the mentality of
Christ's environment, and a "more
thorough study of Gospel rec
ords." Dr. Cadbury's chapter on "Lim
itations of Jesus' social Teach
ing" will likely bring an outcry
from many of the more-conservative
theologians. Christ's social
teaching cannot all have bearing
on this age, "Jesus spoke," Cad
bury says, "as though he were
warning contemporaries of Noah
and Lot, not speaking to late-born
epigoni of a twentieth Christian
century like us.'!
He goes on to say that Jesus
rarely if ever dealt with social In
stitutions as such.
"We find it hard to believe."
Cadbury write, ."that Jesus did
not think of some of . these ques
tions.". Cadbury Is referring to
taxes, money questions, mongamy.
prostitution. He continues by ex
plaining that It Is particularly
hard to believe in the face of the
n.ft--ur;my ...
-'1.1
fact ; that Jesus "consorts with
soldiers,, tax collectors, harlots,
and f even a Roman centurion."
But. according to: Dr. Cadbury,
Jesus did not know "class inter
ests, class consciousness, class
ideals." Cad b u r y speaks of
Christ's teaching and purpose as
unplanned, as "consideration of a
technique would be quite foreign
to the whole thinking of . such
lives.", ( referring to Jesus .and
Paul). They would probably. have
been "horrified at the suggestion
that converting of men was due
to some skilful plan."
Dr. Cadbury cautions his read
ers to consider : the question,
"How far do the .words recorded
in Greek after some decader rep
resent the words originally spoken
in Aramaic? Have not the Inter
ests and prejudices of the follow
ers of Jesus colored his sayings In
several definite directions?"
. He concludes with "For many
of us it will remain more satisfac
tory to leave much about-him un
known, much about him alien
both to ourselves and to the
church that more . immediately
succeeded him, than to paint him
up tnconcernedly In our own Im
age or .what becomes so "often
quite similar, to attempt to sup
plement the imperfect historical
portrait with what we call the
Christ of faith."
