We eollelt yen contribution X f Library Receives Book On Artists Life A 3 1 t I' Happenings At BY FRANCES C. YOST Bancroft. Idaho A very famous and well loved man, who resided in the very heart of Zion had a hobby of collecting rocks. Because he not only collected stones of value, but stones of beauty, his collection became so large that even his specious homes could not make room for his colossal collection. A dozen years ago this excentric old gentleman decided to take his many rocks and build a great wall on his premises. He invited his many friends to share in his pleasure, and they brought rocks gathered from the four corners of the earth. Several masons were called In to construct the great edifice. These rocks were polished and a number was engraved on each, which referred to a large record. By looking for the corresponding number in the book, one could find where the rock was gathered and by whom it was bestowed. The builder of this artistic wall, has since passed away. But the wall remains an attraction to anyone who chances to pass this famous Federal Heights home. The writer knows another collector of rocks. His collection is very diverse, for they are rocks of humanity. They are more lasting than the rocks in the great wall, for they will endure throughout the eternities to come. The joy which this collector receives is great indeed! For he is building an alter of humanity and bringing the rock of salvation to many, many souls. He too keeps a record of his Grant Wood, more than any other artist of his time, belonged to the American people. Darrell Garwood, In his recent biography, "Artist in Iowa" (A Life of Grant Wood), takes his readers back to Iowa where both the artist and Garwood were born and reared. The book is now at the Cache county library. It was as a student that Garwood first knew Grant Wood when the latter was teaching at the University of Iowa. He sees the artist as essentially one with his background, the homely objects and rich earth of his native midwest. Cedar Rapids claimed Grant Wood and did much to encourage his throughout most of his life. Harry Boyd, the editor of the Cedar Rapids Gazette, says: "One of the things that struck mo most forcibly in reading this building. Unlike the wall of stone, his alter of rocks grows very slowly, biography is the important? part enlightened people in a community for the builder of this alter of humanity must search until he finds play in encouraging the developa certain human rock for each little niche, none other will do.

Rex-bur- La-V- By Gunnar Kaiunuxon Note The readier (Editors should keep in mind that this talk was first given exactly as M appears here in the Richmond South ward on March 27, 1938, more than 17 months before the beginning of World War IL It was also given in the Logan First ward1 on October 22, 1939, and in the Logan Ninth ward on October 29, 1939. It should be remembered that World War II began on Friday, September 1, 1939, when Hitler launched an attack against Poland.) In 1937 Walter Durranty, a news reporter, wrote a book that he called, One Life, One Kopeck", which in everyday English means, "Life Isnt Worth a Rap". Its a story of conditions in Russia during the World War which ended in 1918, the overthrow of the Czarist government and the establishment of the Bolshevik regime. The main character of the story is a young Russian named Ivan who was exiled to Siberia early in his youth. In Siberia he came in contact with other exiles who were already well established in the doctrines of Karl Marx socialism which was soon to dethrone the royal family. Later Ivan joined the Russian forces in the world war where he became an outstanding soldier and where he saw trouble and misery on every hand. Still later he joined the Bolshevik movement and in it was placed in charge of a small army which went about the country aiding in Soviet governestablishing the ment. Blames God For Troubles On that mission he came to the home of some friends where he was greeted by a priest in these words, Peace to you, soldiers, in a land where there is no peace, and the blessing of God upon you, Bolshevik, to whom there is no - God. lis Never mind about God, Ivan answered If there is one He must be cruel or negligent to leave the world like this, or dont you think that a God with all power is to blame for a world like this? Or is He insane, too? Surely it is better to think that there is no God than to think of a crazy one? On Ivans knee was sitting a little boy, the son of the mother of the home he waa visiting. Ask her", said the old priest with a wave of his hand toward the mother, ask her about the time when the child on your knee was born. Had she no pain then, wasnt there blood and suffering? But the child was born that was God's doing. Not even the sparrows are too small for Him to number. The world is now in travail God has willed it, but the new life which la coming may be better than the old. War Is Illogical Another news reporter, Wythe Williams, who has been a European correspondent to American newspapers for more than a quarter of a century, also wrote a book In 1937. It is called, Dusk of Empire", and deala with the decline of Europe and the rise of the United Statea as a world power. In the last paragraphs of his book, Wythe Williams asks a few questions and gives a few answers. For instance, he asks, Why do European nations go to war. Why does Japan prepare for battle? Why does the world always have a war, great or small, raging somewhere? To these almost insistent questions that have been asked me hundreds of times during my career as a foreign correspondent, as a war correspondent, and more frequently today, no answer is possible. One may give economic, commercial or financial reasons why nations desire to expand, why they want a more substantial and permanent place in the sun, but why, always, they have gone to war about it rather than submitting to fair counsel, is unanswerable. No reason exists for war that is sufficient for the toll of war. War is the most illogical thing on this planet yet it exists." his master, And then he closes ful picturizatlon of a changing g world with these paragraphs, The sun rises and it sets and it rises again. But it no longer beams steadily upon the Old World. The European continent has passed its zenith of splendor, and is now in the long twilight. The first place in the sun is today thrown open to the United States. If it is occupied, then world civilization may not only remain intact but rise to a brilliance beOtherwise we yond imagination. may live to witness a spectacle that the mind does not yet even grasp, more somber by far than the twilight of empire. For it is dawn of the Gods or dusk." Wars Continue Keeping in mind the quotations from Walter Durranty and Wythe Williams, let us see if we can find some answers to their questions in the gospel of Jesus Christ. And let us remember that the questions they ask are the Identical questions the world in general is asking today. Never before in the history of the world has there been so much uneasiness, so many wars, and so many rumors of wars. Less than a quarter of a cent-dr- y ago, the nations of the world were engaged in a war that we were led to believe was to prevent all future wars and which was to make the world safe for democracy. Since then we have seen Italy shamefully swallow We have seen Hitler Ethiopia. tear out every paragraph from the Versailles treaty and throw each one of them into the teeth of their framers.
