...their studied nonchalance, white Kenyans love their land-for its rolling green pastures, fat with cattle, for its deep forests and smoke-blue mountains, garlanded with the tea and coffee plantations that earn the colony's living. On the whole, they treat their blacks better than most white settlers in Africa. The tragedy of the whites is their failure to understand that the black Kikuyu tribesmen, who tend their crops, wash their dishes, nurse their babies and dig their graves when they die, are also equally fanatic land-lovers. The whites blandly reason: "If we're kind...
Military action may or may not stamp out Mau Mau terror; only reform can get at the deep roots of black unrest. Big and bluff British Colonial Secretary Oliver Lyttelton toured the colony last week to see what can be done.

We are not secure in this world, but in constant peril ... All human roads seek to avoid these deep valleys. It was Luther's experience that God purposely leads us through them in order to make us receptive to His Word...
Navarre Gone Wrong. Because Xavier's flame burned deep but narrow, Brodrick points out, he had some tragic limitations. His lack of sympathy with native cultures hampered him in getting close to the people he wanted to Christianize. "From all appearances," writes Father Brodrick, "he looked upon India as though it were a huge Navarre gone wrong, not as a land utterly new . . . For him, the old slogan always seemed to suffice, the Christians are right, the pagans are wrong, which, while being perfectly true, by no means precludes the existence . . . of genuine holiness in such a non-Christian...
