Only A Bent Nail
LENTEN LIFELINES
By RALPH W. LOfc'U', DM.
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.
