Written for Newspaper Enterprise Assn. This is the story of a man who used a bent nail to keep his sanity. . During the Nazi madness, many people suffered because of their faith, among them a Bishop ot the Lutheran Church named Hans Lilje. Dr. Lilje discovered him self in a cell, devoid of every comfort, windowless except for a slit high on one wall. Not only were the prisoners stripped o! their familiar possessions, but their jailers also tortured them with a kind of horror by attempt ing to confuse their sense of time. Dates, the days of the week and the identifying familiarity to time were blotted out. Monday was ailed Thursday and Tuesday be came Saturday. Yet, when Sunday came, even when the jailers de nied the day the 'Bishop would call out verses of Scripture and lead his fellow prisoners in sing- ina some ancient chorale. What the guards had overlooked in their tactics was simply a bent nail. The Bishop had used it to draw a circle on the dirt-covered floor He had drawn a circle, di vided into seven sections, and when a ray of morning light lougnt its fitful way through the little slit at the top of the wall, he moyed his strange- "sun dial" to a new day. It was a little thing; it was a method of defiance. More than this, it became a way by which these prisoners could hang on to a sense of dignity. A cross, high and lifted up, may seem to be a very weak weapon with which to do battle with to day's demoniac forces. It is a life line of Lent that this same cross can help man to remember his true worth. We live in a lime when the tactics of the enemy are to strip man of Ins meaning. The added problem is that our own gadgets do the same. Our very success poses a threat. Sup pose that our economy becomes tied completely to our missiles Suppose that our automation strips us of our desire for excellence and craftsmanship. In such lime as this, what can help us to discover the time of day'.' All too many of us are acquainted with the individual who has come to middle life, has achieved success. and yet doesn't seem to know what time it is. He doubts the very worth of his own achievements. In such a world, the cross of Christ stands as the reminder of a deliberate choice of one w ho re fused to barter his soul for com fort, or his goats for security. He wrestled out the problem, for it wasn't an easy choice. His was not the choice to die; it was rather the choice to proclaim the gospel of love. If that brought him into conflict with the forces of his time, then he would die rather than forsake that kingdom. So his broken body on a cross becomes a kind of bent nail for mankind. Jesus once told a story of a boy w ho demanded his inheritance, got it and went off to have a time of hilarity. When his wealth was gone, he had a multitude of jobs ending as the keeper of a pigsty. There, St. Luke states, this boy came to himself." It was at that moment he decided to go home He felt he had no right Id be his father's son, and his father had to remind him that he had ahvay been his son. Many of us may not feel rc deemable, vet the cross reminds us that man is worth saving. Any thing that degrades man, strip; him of meaning, uses him as i tool, enslaves him Id false habits and distorts his image of himself is a nail in a cross. Anything that reminds man of his essential worth, enables him to express love tor nis ncigimor calls him to a sense of personal responsibility and relates him to the fact that God loves lnm is a bent nail which reminds him that he is a child of God. The cross is a fact which can help us to come to ourselves Challenging to become what we already are, persons made in Hie image of God.
