I have .just finished reading
an extraordinary book: “Death
be not Proud”,‘by John Gunther.
The author tells of his own boy,
»a most lovable- lad, .who, at the
age of seventeen, was stricken
with a brain tumour. He lived
for fourteen months, fighting a
losing battle. It is a fascinating
book, du,e in no small part to
the way in which Gunther and
his wife felt the blow almost as
did their son. Yet they both
knew that the experience had
‘'done something for them; j.t was
a trial out of which they came
forth purified.
