Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1969-10-02, Page 20BA, GODERICI SIGNAL -STAR. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2,1969 ft From the- . Minister's study REV. GAR:WOOD G. -RUSSELL S.t. George's Anglican .Church the Screwtape letters It _always surprises me to discover that many adults of my -age have never read "The. Screwtape Letters" by C. S. Lewis. These letters from a senior to a junior devil are just about the cleverest and most painless sway for anyone to. get acquainted with the essentials of Christian devotion and behaviour. I picked up my copy the other day to browse through it. I found I couldn't browse. I had to read it again.y,from cover to cover. It comes in s Fontana paperback edition of 160 pages. Dr. Lewis published it first in 1942. But — get this, you young people — it is dedicated to 4. R. R. Tolkien! Now isn't it interesting to find that C. S. Lewis knew and respected Tolkien long before "Lord of the Kings" had become the in -thing to read? I have to admit that I had never heard of Tolkien when, at the age of 20, 1 was gobbling up everything that C. S. Lewis hat! written. Having made this great discovery only last week that L.he most popular work that Lewis ever wrote is dedicated ,to Tolkien, I hasten to pass, the information on i'n the hope that many young peoplewill be encouraged to discover Lewis. "The Screwtape Letters" is a series of brief letters of instruction from Uncle Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood. Wormwood, the junior devil, is in charge of holding onto the soul of man who is becoming interested in the Enemy — that. is. God. The Our. readers write letters deal with material possessions, love, church attendance, war, food, humour, ' people, religion, heaven, hell, God and so on. • The impression it gives of hell is particularly graphic. Since the . correspondence is all one way, you- have to read between the lines. Yet the way in which devils deal with the inferior members of the family is somehow familiar. I must suppose, nevertheless, that any resemblance between hell and a large corporation, which shall remain nameless is purely coincidental. While I wouldn't say Screwtape is as exciting as a mystery thriller, the progress of events is clearly indicated. It is not 'a book that will put you to .sleep. - Young people may be a bit ,impatient with the parts that deal with war. In the past twenty-five years pacifism as an ideal has grown in their minds. The fact is that war is still going on and is likely to. The value of the book is not in the area of logical analysis of moral problems, but rather that it points out the fuzziness that prevent us from seeing the real issues of morality. And it is done in a light, almost humorous, style and the cutting edge`' of satire which Lewis uses So well. I am sure that I have betrayed myself as a lover of C. S. Lewis. Now if I have not overplayed my hand and turned everyone off, people might flock to their nearest library or book -store to get a copy of "The Screwtape° Letters" by C. S. Lewis.

UNIFORM GRADING I have just read your report of the council meeting ndatien started by Mr. Million on Oxford Street between Mary and Jones Streets. I am also a property owner in the neighborhood and believe there is another equally-- -- serious problem that should be taken into hand, that of uniform grading in new subdivisions. I think a street of nicely graded homes will grow more attractive than ones built at random, way up or way down as -now . seems to be the trend in this end of Goderich. Norma Robinson.
