Many Saints Fail To Fit Image Held in Minds of Most People
Br LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
The word "saint" conjures
up in most minds the image of
a gentle, pious, unselfish per
son to whom goodness comes
as naturally as breathing.
But the church calendar
cnnlaiiS the names of many
saints who just don't fit that
stereotype.
For example, Thursday,
Julv 25 was the feast day of
St. James the Great.
The New Testament has
milts a lot to sav about this
fellow. And it depicts him as
a yery ordinary human Deing,
with a tendency to be vain,
ambitious and hot-tempered.
He was the son of a fisher
man named Zebedee, who
lived in the town of Caper
naum, and operated a fleet of
fishing boats on the Sea of
Galilee.
James had a brother named
John and two close friends
named Simon and Andrew,
who wdfked with them in the
fishing business.
The monotony of their lives
was broken one day by the
arrival in Capernaum of a
young itinerant preacher
named Jesus of Nazareth.
When Jesus talked about God,
he sounded like he was speak
ing from first-hand informa
tion, rather than quoting out
of a book. He was the most
alive and compelling person

Albert S.-How can an intel-. cuss religion without giving
A 13-vear-old Medford boy,
who was a little careless
about where he rode his horse
two weeks ago, spent part of
the day last Saturday repair
ing some holes in the lawn at
the Rogue Valley Manor.
The holes were discovered
by Manor residents shortly
after they were made, but no
one knew who had made
them. Manor Manager Walter
Higgins said he began to ask
to see if any one had wit-
Pilot Butte Inn
Sale Reversal Asked
Portland - (UPD - The Pilot
Butte Inn Co. has filed a peti
tion in U.S. District Court to
have the July 11 auction sale
of the building it once man
aged set aside.
The petition contends cer
tain legal requirements were
not met in the sale and asks
that the case be remanded to
Deschutes County Circuit
Court on the declaration that
federal courts have no juris
diction. Martin T. Byrne of Seattle
bought the Bend landmark for
$50,000 after he forced the
sale to satisfy a California
judgment against the owner,
Frank William Corbett.
The sale could have been
confirmed 10 days after the
auction by Federal Judge Wil
liam G. East, but Byrne has
not yet filed a motion asking
confirmation.
nessed the incident
Finally, HiRgins said, the
mvsterv was solved bv a
woman resident of the Manor,
who, all on her own, had
played detective.
HiDDinc sairl at the time
the youngster had ridden his
horse across the lawn-appar-e
n 1 1 y without thinking-the
woman had been sitting at the
window of her apartment
looking at the scenery tnrougn
a pair of field glasses.
She saw the boy and his
horse Ballon across the lawn
and concerned by what she
tiarl spmi slip kent her classes
trained on him as he rode off
down the hill. She watched
him turn the horse into a resi
dence not too far from the
Manor.
The next day, she got in
her car and drove by the resi
dence, saw the same horse in
a pasture, and got the name
of the family from the mail
box in front of the house.
Back at the Manor, she
turned her information over
to Higgins, who called city
police. The officers called on
the boy and his parents, and
the youth, shame-facedly, ad
mitted what he had done.
All of them consulted with
Higgins about what should be
done.
Saturday, the youth-having
learned his 1 e s s o n-was at
work on. the lawn, spreading
new top soil and planting
grass seed on the spots that
had been torn up by the
horse's hooves.
ligent man be religious these
days?
Btrnard F.-It's just that no
better set of rules is avail
able. Albert S. I'm having a re
union of my college house
mates. It's been 10 years
since the 23 of us who grad
uated together joined up for
an evening of camaraderie.
But now comes Bernie with
the only turndown. He says
he can't come because the
party is on a Friday night
and he won't violate his Sab
bath by riding. I thought after
being out in the world he'd
drop that provincialism and
medievalism.
Bernard F.-Many's the bull
session Al and I have had on
this topic and I see we're
back where we were when I
insisted on a vegetable plate
instead of non-kosher roast
beef at his wedding. I'll ad
mit that I've searched my
soul for alternatives to the
religious life I've been used
to, but I must cling to it.
I'm not sure why, but I'm
sure that if I dropped out I'd
be lost because I can t find
a substitute to guide me.

The Council: Pertinent
quotes rush to mind and we'll
use two to glide into our
answer. First, Thoreau would
remind Al that Bernard
"hears a different drummer."
Then Brooks Atkinson, aware
of how different and insist
ent those drummers are
warns "it is impossible to dis-
pain to someone. So, Al,
we'll be as painless as possi
ble as we point out: In the
strict dictionary sense, every
one who leads a righteous
life is religious, including
you, for religion is "accept
ance of and devotion to an
ideal as a standard for one's
life." Bernard accepts the
code and way of life pre
served by his family. You
hear another "call" which
polarizes your actions, guides,
strengthens and comforts you.
Is it art? Science? . . . Bravo
to those bull. sessions. It's im
portant to question. Even
faith can not be taken "on
faith." But Bernard finds
among the "medievalism" bet
ter signals for today's jour
neys than any he could as
semble by himself.
who had ever come to Caper
naum, and the four young
fishermen were greatly at
tracted to him.
One day, Jesus walked
down to the shore where the
four fishermen were at work
"Follow me," he said, "And
I will make you become fish
ers of men."
Jame's and his three friends
didn't hesitate. They didn't
tell Jesus they'd need a little
time to wind up their busi
ness. They just dropped their
nets and followed him.
They were the first of the
12 Apostles. And they were
destined to remain Jesus'
closest friends and confi
dantes. Jesus seems to have had a
particular affection for Si
mon, whom He renamed Pe
ter, and for the two brothers,
James and John. The New
Testament records that He
chose Peter, James and John
to accompany him on several
special occasions, includ i n g
the last night in the Garden
of Gethsemane, when He
waited for His arrest and
crucifixion.
Didn't Change Immediately
Close association with Jesus
did not change James over
night into a gentle and un
selfish soul.
Once, when the people of a
Samaritan village gave Jesus
a discourteous recep t i o n,
James lost his temper and
wanted to call down fire from
heaven to wipe out the whole
village.
Jesus rebuked James se
verely for this proposal, and
reminded him that "The Son
of Man came not to destroy
men's lives but to save them."
Later, to rub in the lesson
with a little pointed humor,
Jesus gave James a nickname:
"Son of Thunder."
On another occasion, James
and his brother went to Jesus
privately, and tried to extract
a promise that tney would be
given the top seats of honor -on
his right hand and left
hand-when He came to His
throne. They were still think
ing, as all of the. Apostles per
sisted in doing despite Jesus'
efforts to teach them other
wise, that He had come as an
earthly messiah or king.
Again Jesus had to rebuke
his friend, and as always, he
used the occasion to teach a
positive lesson
"You know that those who
are supposed to rule over the
Gentiles lord it over them,
and their great men exercise
authority among them," Jesus
said. "But it shall not be so
among you.
"Whoever would be Arvjht
among you must be your ser
vant, and whoever would be
first among you must be slave
of all. For the Son of Man also
came not to be served, but to
serve . . . . "
It took James a long time to
understand what It meant' to
be a disciple of Christ. Per
haps he didn't really compre
hend until he had the awe
some experience of being a
witness to the Resurrection.
But when he finally did get
the point, James followed his
Lord all the way.
hen the first persecution
of the infant Christian church
was launched in 44 A.D. by
King Herod, James was arrest
ed and beheaded.
He was the first Apostle to
die a martyi's death.
