Parables of Jesus Brought ack to Mind Editor's note: This is the second of six Easter meditations in which prominent clergymen discuss the events of each day in the final week of Jesus Christ's earthly ministry. Today's author is a noted Greek Orthodox theoloSian on the faculty of Harvard Divinity School. By the RT. REV. GEORGES FLOROVSKY Written for United Press "Now in te daytime He was teaching ,n the temple, but as for the nights, He would go out and pass them on the mountain called Olivet. And all the people came to Him early in the morning in the temple, to hear Him." (Luke 21.37-38.) In the days immediately following His kingly entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sun day, our Lord taught the mul titudes, according to His rule and custom, "in parables." It is fitting this week to recall these parables. This main emphasis was on vigilance. The day of decision was approaching. Our Lord himself was approaching the climax of His ministry. He was approaching His glorious death, out of which He was to rise as conqueror, as mas ter of life. . People Were Unaware The people were dimly aware of His kingly dignity, of his lordship. They had just greeted Him with a solemn hosanna. But were they ready to recognize the crucified as a king, and to behold His kingship in humiliation? Were they strong enough to keep faith and confidence in Him in an hour of trial and test ing? Our Lord told them of the impending destruction of Je rusalem, of the coming tribu lation and sorrow, unheard of "from the beginning of the world." It was against this background that our Lord spoke of faith and salvation. One had to watch and to be lieve against the imposing evi dence of an inevitable disas ter. "These things I have spoken to you that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have affliction. But take courage, I have over come the world." (John 16.33.) There is no security in this world, except one believes, except one learns to discern amid the toil and tribulation, the signs and tokens of divine grace and mercy, except one learns to have peace in the Lord. Yet, this peace, the peace forever, comes through the cross. Lamps Go Out One of the parables told of 10 virgins waiting for the bridegrooms and the bride They all were waiting. But some of them were foolish, as the Lord says. They did not provide enough oil for their lamps. It was late. And the foolish virgins could not enter xne weaamg cnamoer. it is usually said that oil was a symbol of good works. Yet, it seems that the main emphasis in the parable was precisely on the lack of vigilance, the lack of preparation. Even the foolish virgins were waiting: They were expecting the bridegroom, they were antici pating the marriage feast. But somehow they were not rea dy.They realized this too late. "And the door was shut," our Lord concluded: "Watch." It is a timely warning. Are not our own lamps also "go ing out"? Are we not a'so so often overtaken by surprise? Is our faith strong enough to stand the test and trial of af flictions? Are we really pre pared to taste the glorious victory of the cross and res urrection, to receive the mes sage of the Holy Week as a token and sign of peace and victory? Life of Man May Be Prolonged ITrusi Estate Forum With U? nf Fominine HnKmnniheduled April 10 By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York API Its still may be possible to prolong the lives of many men with- o u t at the same time making life intolerable by treating them with the ver tiable queen of female body hor mones. That hor- Deios smith mone is estro gen which accounts for the more obvious female charac teristics of body and mind. It may well be the most im portant one feminine chem ical component which permits women to live longer than men. For instance, women gen erally go through life with better - conditioned arteries, lower blood pressures, and and comparatively fewer heart attacks than men. It is well known that when estrogen is given to men with hardened arteries and men who have had heart attacks, it changes their blood chemistry very much for the better. But unhappily estrogen feminizes them, most drama tically by stimulating the dor mant male mammary glands into development. It also robs them of normal masculine sexual drives. Needless to say, most men would rather die of heart attack. In past experiments with estrogen in men, these un toward and intolerable "side effects" were produced by as little as one thousandth of a gram given daily for not too many days. But newly reported experi ments indicate that as little as ten millionths of a gram daily will bring about the much-to-be-desired changes in Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF SOVIET ENVOY DIES London (IP!

There is reason to believe that mas culine body chemistry . can tolerate that minute amount without being turned toward the feminine. The experiments were con ducted at the University of Southern California, Los An geles, by a scientific team headed by Profs. Jessie Mar monston and Oscar Magidson. The subjects were 26 women from 48 to 82 years old who had had at least one heart attack. Rapid Change The women were eiven tab lets containing 10 millionths of i! gram of estrogen daily. The blood chemistry measure ments of all began changing for the better almost at once and were at their best six or seven months after the treat ment began. The women were treated and observed for a maximum of 30 months and the measurements remained steadily on the good side all that time. The scientists remarked, in reporting to the New England Journal of Medicine: It "seems evident that very small and very large doses of estrogen appear indisting uishable in their ultimate ef fects on blood chemistry." They will make a full report on that when the work is completed, including, of course, the answer to the key question for men: are there still faminizing "side affects" event in doses of 10 millionths of a gram?

'How Do You Rate?' New Morning TV Quiz Show, Declared Fascinating BY WILLIAM EWALD. United Press Correspondent New York (IP "How Do You Rate?," a new CBS TV morning show, is the most fascinating quiz to bow in this season. The half - hour offering, which made its debut Mon day, is not concerned with the total yardage of dental floss consumed by male Peru vians in 1932 or with the life time batting average of Kiki Cuyler or with the names of all French premiers since last week. . Instead, the questions on this daily quizzer are based on the what-is-its that make up aptitude tests.

Sense of direction There were other questions based on sence of direction, mechanical ability, logical reasoning, musical bent, and judgment of time, all of them posers that called for little specialized knowledge. The show, emceed painless ly by John Reddy, nad its faults, but they were the sort of faults that can be shaken out in time. The contestants on the opener were a pretty stiff lot and the losers were knocked off much too quickly. Too, there was a lot of bosh about the significance of eacn question. Thus, a successful negotiation of a blocks test meant, we were told, that "you can probably furnish s house or match your clothes." Or, answering a comprehen sion question about trick re lationships within a family meant that "people can't pull the wool over your eyes. All this aside, I would say the most satisfying thing abmi "How Do You Rate' is its lack of interest in fact- tvn nuestions. All of our other quiz shows seem to have a mania for collecting contes tants strong on incidental data As a result. I'm sure many TV viewers have reach ed the point where they are now confusing an educated man with a data-obsessed one I'd class "How Do You Rate?" not only as an enter taining show, but the health iest quiz to enter the field in a long, long time. CBS - TV's "Studio one" wasted a couple of good per formances by Eva LaGalli enne and Boris Karloff Mon day night in a cellophane-thin drama, "The Shadow of a Genius."

Dog Ordinance To Be Enforced, Chief Says Jacksonville All dogs within the city limits of Jack sonville must be tied or oth erwise confined to the yards of their owners as of April 1, according to Jacksonville Po lice Chief Frank Carter. The ordinance is in effect annually during the garden season, April 1 to Aug. 1, Car ter said, and dog owners are subject to a $5 fine if their dog is found loose. Carter -dded that the ruling will be .strictly enforced. French Workers Walk Off Jobs Paris OP) One-million French workers walked off their jobs today, tying up rail road, gas and electricity serv ices. Paris streets were filled with unemptied garbage pails. The 24 - hour, "warning", strike hit first and hardest at France's nationalized indus tries. But workers in private industries also planned to join in large scale walkouts. Union leaders said unrest among French workers was at its highest level since the prolonged strikes of 1953. God's Law Heals, Speaker Notes God's law understood heals sin, sickness, and discord of every kind, Albert Clinton Moon, Chicago, told an audi ence last night at the Medford High school auditorium. He spoke here under te auspices of First Church of ; Christ, Scientist, Medford. The speaker, a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, declared that the message of divine love's unlimited power and goodness is available to all. Through spiritual thinking and living more people than ever before are gaining true satisfaction, health and harmony. Mr, Moon spoke on God's Law Heals. The Bible shows, he said, that Christ Jesus healed the sick and sinning, wholly through spiritual means, as the evidence of the truths he taught. Mr. Moon held that the healing works of Jesus were not miraculous, but the natural results of the opera tion of the ever-present law of divine love. During the course of his lecture he described several healings through spir itual means alone. To bring the healing activ ity of love into daily experi ence, it is vital to attain a loving, spiritually correct sense of one's own true self hood, he declared. In closing, he called upon the audience to prove the power of divine love in action.
