Religion in America

By Louis tassels •y United fret* International Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German theologian whose opposition to Hitler led him to a martyr’s death on a Nazi scaffold. At the time of his arrest in 1943, he was working on a book about ethics. The last incomplete fragment of that book, interrupted by the arrival of the secret police, deals not with

tyranny, war or any other grand question, but with a homely problem of everyday behavior. The problem is knowing when to keep your mouth shut. Bonhoeffer noted, with regret, that there are “people who feel themselves called upon to ‘tell the truth’, as they put it, to everyone who crosses their path.” He acknowledged that there

are times when a parent, a teacher, a pastor, an employer of someone else in a position of responsibility may have a clear moral duty to speak painful truths to another person. But he said this does not mean that all of us have the right to go around administering verbal slaps in the name of candor. “The claim that one is entitled to say what one thinks is completely unfounded,” Bonhoeffer said in the last paragraph he wrote as a free man. If he had been able to complete his essay on the virtue

of holding your tongue he doubtless would have followed his usual custom of buttressing his point with scriptual quotations. He would have had no difficultly finding pertinent Biblical passages to cite. “I will guard my ways,” says the author of the 39 th Psalm, “that I may not sin with my tongue.” The biblical writer who feels most strongly on the subject is the author of the New Testament epistle of James. He uses graphic metaphors to describe the power for mischief

that resides in

tongue.

“We put the bit into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, and we are able to make them go where we want. Or think of a ship: Big as it is, and driven by such strong winds, it can be steered by a very small rudder, and goes wherever the pilot wants it to

go.

“This is how it is with the tongue. Small as it is, it can boast about great things. “Just think how large a forest can be set on fire by a tiny flame! And the tongue is like

wagging a fire. It is a world of wrong,

occupying its place in our bodies and spreading evil through our whole being! It sets on fire the entire course of our existence with the fire that comes to it

from hell itself.

“Man is able to tame, and has tamed, all other creatures— wild animals and birds, reptiles and fish. But no man has ever been able to tame the tongue. It is evil and uncontrollable, full of

deadly poison.

“We use it to give thanks to our Lord and Father, and also to curse our fellow men, created in the likeness of God!

“My brothers, this should not happen ... do not speak against one another . . . God is the only lawgiver and judge. Who do you think you are, to judge your fellow man?”

ART ACQUISITION ST. LOUIS UPI—The City Art Museum has acquired a bronze statue of the Hindu deity Parvati. The figure, about 26 inches high, dates from the 11th century and represents Indian sculpture. Purchase was made possible by a recent $25,000 gift from

the Charles E. Merrill Trust ol New York. Merrill was founder of the New York brokerage house of Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith.
