The STorm By Charles Ancrum All was silenT, hoT, and heavy, NOT a rusTle, noT a rnurrnurg SilenT as The ghosTly midnighT, STill and guieT as The norThland. Then wiTh lowly muTTering rumbles Growing louder, dense in volume, Came The norThwind and iTs broThe Thunder and The Tlashing lighTningg Man and loeasT boTh Tied in Terrorq Trees were Tossed as children's pIayThings And The rain came down in TorrenTs Drenching all ThaT lay loeneaTh iT. Then The Thunder passed To wesTward WiTh iTs rurnlole growing TainTer And The black clouds slowly Tollowed, Giving way To glorious sunshine. rs, s 'I 1 f' P 'mf A I 1 il-',,1f1.Ax v T hw! fi I J' 'EW Y -Sur 'ZIV 1 ,Sgt Mqiqw 1, 4x ami w W ft YP' We il 1 nhu x-'QI 'NM '91 170 rlmlfl NWMWWEWK QM IBTA fy-5, U' -S 'wx In' mawi W IAN F W sw 93,5 'f imwn 4418 63 F, P Ji. vfi r xi' 'Jlv il 1 p Y :Gila if ai' rf N ,J 4-lf' wi . fl' 1. ,Q MIA 9' ffY'1swwv,-JTMM: T uf- ' Iwf 1: VTWWH1 451 fem-I lf TV' ' U J f QE-jI Y 'N W Irusgbr M9-'L l xc ru-Y W.

AlThough The room was crowded, iT did noT appear so. On The plaTTorm were a Tew men reading aloud and The men were siTTing, slumped murmuring To Themselves, praying guieTly. The enTire aTmosphere was one oT guieT prayer, resTrained and subdued ouTwardly, buT ever anxious, pushing Trom The inside ouT. From The women's secTion came a sTeady low sobbing, guieT desperaTe prayer. The men also unashamedly wepT and prayed aloud. There was a spiriT oT humble men, humble yeT hope- Tul, despairing yeT anxious, eager, repenTing. And Sara sTood There, and ThaT spiriT oT humbleness swepT Through her. The lasT rays oT sun resTed in This guieT aTmosphere againsT The wall, blushed wiTh shame when caughT peeking inTo This eThereal scene. And, alThough wanTing To linger here, TelT humbled and crepT away. And Sara sTood s+iII. lT was nearing The end oT This TasT day. Time was growing shorT. SenTence was soon To be pronounced Tor The deTendanTs. And The whole congregaTion was praying as if iT were one voice. A surging wave Tlowed Trom The core oT each soul, ran over The cracks and ruTs oT each sobbing breasT. lT was The voice oT a guilTy deTendanT pleading To a Judge Tor mercy. And Sara sTood and her hearT prayed Too. And Then, The clear call oT The ShoTar, The ram's horn-The call oT The TaiThTul shepherd To his wandering sheep, calling, Taking Them back To The Told. The TasT was over, l.eshona haba biyarushalayumu-The cry oT a hungry people-hungry Tor mercy, hungry Tor Their land, and, more prac- Tically, hungry Tor Tood. And everyone was hurrying home. Sara hur- ried home, Too. The nexT morning, when Sara woke up, iT was raining, a good, clear, brisk rain. BUT Sara woke up Tired and lazy. She lay in bed Thinking Tor a while. Wasn'T iT Tunny? She had almosT become religious yesTerday -she, oT all people! Queer how iT happened. Lucky she hadn'T been Taken in wiTh all ThaT senTimenTal old sTuTT. Thank heavens l'm a modern girl and can'T be Tooled wiTh all ThaT TornToolery. O. K., mom. l'm coming. Yes, ma'am. Sara sure was a modern girl. I0

HALF WISE SAYINGS By HYMAN DANOWITZ IT is mosT inTeresTing To noTe in our body oT proverbs how conTradic- Tory many oT These adages can be. The basic reason Tor These con- TradicTions lies in The Two opposing schools oT ThoughTg one advocaTes, Make way Tor Tomorrow g The oTher, Be merry Tor Tomorrow you die. LeT us look inTo The banTer ThaT arises Trom conTlicTing proverbs. The SToics, especially Beniamin Franklin, would say, A penny saved is a penny earned, and Save Tor a rainy clay. To wha+ avail? The Epicurians will answer, A Tool and his money are soon parTed. For The proverb, Never puT oTT Till Tomorrow whaT you can do Today, There is The answer, There is always Tomorrow. We have learned many a lesson Trom The Table oT The anT and The grasshopper, buT along sTanding moTTo among The lTalians has been, IT is charming To be idle. A Ta- mous Frenchman once said, IT is worse Than a crime: iT is a blunder. Did he TorgeT ThaT To err is human? I-low silly iT.is To Look beTore you leap, when I-Ie who hesiTaTes is IosT. I now come To The greaT Thinker, DescarTes, whose moTTo was, I Think, ThereTore I am. To him, mind was The criTerion oT living. YeT, Tor all his ThoughTs, he did noT change The world. ArgumenTs and Theories perTaining To philosophical poinTs oT view have never changed The world despiTe The TacT, The pen is mighTier Than The sword. In The words oT The immorTaI Khayyam: MyselT when young did eagerly TrequenT DocTor and SainT and heard greaT ArgumenT AbouT iT and abouT-buT evermore Came ouT The same Door as in I wenT. I would like To close wiTh a Trilogy which runs beyond The ridiculous: TruTh conquers all, Love conquers all, and Work conquers all. GeomeTrically speaking, Things equal To same Thing are equal To each oTher. ThereTore TruTh musT be love, and love musT be TruTh: work musT be TruTh, and TruTh musT be work, sTrangesT oT all, however, is The remain- ing equaTion, love musT be work. I2
