THE REDBIRD
I** rJBjJ
Maybe most of you, or
some of you, read my col-
umn week before last when
I strayed ever so noticably
and gave forth with some
thoughtywords. I prcmis-
ed,fo r better or worse,that
I would continue this week.
Again, I say, let’s look
around us. What do we see?
Whatever, or whoever,how
do we see them, or our-
selves? Do we judge, or
are we judged?
All right, we've looked at
ourselves. We've done a
little thinking, too. Now,
let's try something that
some of us will enjoy a
little-more. Let's look
around us, at the people
around us. What do we see?
Friends? Enemies? Stran-
gers? If either, why? Do we
accept them as a friend?
Can we accept them as a
friend? What is a friend?
Are we a friend? Is Megar -
itynuts? Certainly..."point
of order!"
Seriously, I’ve asked my
self those.same questions.
Sometimes, I couldn 't ans -
wer. When I could, I was
sometimes shocked or
ashamed. Sometimes, I
was proud.
I know most of us don't
particularly relish "think-
ing."Some of us arenlt even
sure what it is. Others
can't prove their theory.
This isn’t necessarily in-
tended as a short course in
philosophy or psychology
of thinking, but no matter
what thinking is, some
times, when I read the pap
er, or go to mass, or hear
about the wonder drugs for
the dreaded diseases, or

when I say my rosary at
night, I might be caught
thinking about those wno
are afflicted,those who are
without,those whom I love,
or those whom I wish loved
me.
But whether or not I think
of these specific things
every night, there is one
thing I do think about near-
ly eve ry night. I think about
God.That there is a Christ,
His Son. That if I will fol -
low, He will lead, and why
didn't I start following a
long time ago. I think about
my Guardian Angel, and
how trying a time he must
have. I wonder about those
I know who have died. I
wonder about Heaven.
Maybe you’ve had similar
thoughts. If you have, or
haven't, maybe you will,
and when you do,maybe you
will ask yourself, or God,
as I often do, what is this
all about? Am I in the right
boat, or not? And maybe
you will, as I did, receive
this reply:
God is the Captain of my
ship,
And I aline am the crew.
The keel was ladi
and in darkness made
The soul of me and you.
And where I go, my ship
does go,
And I find my friends are
few.
They'll take the ride,
But, rather, inside,
For I alone am the crew.
God is the Captain of mv
ship,
And I alone am the crew.
The nights are long,
But I am strong
In the strength of Christ,
the Jew.
I'll know my sins before I
die,
And in my heart repent,
And ask my God
To bless the sod
To which I shall be sent.
. . . And familiar things are the best. Like Coca-Cola. Full
of fresh, keen sparkle . . . natural quick energy . . . and
it’s so pure and wholesome — naturally friendly to yoilr
figure. Have it whenever you like.

Why Chancellor Adenauer
reads The Reader’s Digest
"In my country more than 500,000 people read the Digest
in German each month. And they read not only about the
people of the United States, but about the people of all
nations. The Reader s Digest has forged a new'instrument
for understanding among men.'’'
KONRAD ADENAUER, Chancellor of West Germany
In February Reader’s
Digest don’t miss:
LEARN TO LIVE WITH YOUR WORRIES. Some anxie-
ties spur you to greater effort. But many simply
distort your judgment, wear you down. Ardis
Whitman tells the kind of worry you should learn to
overcome, how to put sensible anxieties to good use.
THE ONE AND ONLY BENCHLEY. When told his drink
was slow poison, Benchley quipped, “So who’s in
a hurry?”. . . Chuckles from the life of one of
America’s best-loved humorists.
BOOK CONDENSATION: I WAS SLAVE IE-241 IN THE
SOVIET UNION. Seized without cause, John Noble
(a U.S. citizen) was sent to a Russian concentra-
tion camp to work in .a coal mine. In episodes from
his forthcoming book, “Slave IE-241,” Noble tells
of Red brutality . .. and how the “slaves” rebelled
in 1953—a revolt he’s sure can occur again.
PRIVATE LIFE OF ADOLF HITLER. Was the Fuehrer
insane? Did he ■ really marry his mistress Eva
Braun the very night before they planned to kill
themselves? Is his body secretly buried? Hitler’s
personal valet reveals hitherto unknown facts.
