In Constance Fitzgerald's words, prayer becomes "the profound differ­ ence," as God invades one's being and comes to occupy more and more space within. I believe many people make the search for meaning too difficult. We try too hard to fmd our life meaning in our work, intimate relationships, or friendships. We often create problems to worry about. Why can't we take to heart Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount about the birds ofthe air and lilies of the field? Why don't we "get it," that we could be hit by a Mack truck tonight, and that, therefore, we really should live life now. Breathe deeply and joyously now. Take that walk or that trip now. Be happy now.

Earl Handy, a former Buckingham Township, Pa., farmer, was the warden. His wife, Ruby, was the "matron," taking care of the women and juvenile prisoners. The whole Handy family lived in the "warden's house" section of the jail. Handy had minimum-security inmates working on a 12-acre farm just outside the walls of the prison. I recall seeing him, shot­ gun in hand, nonchalantly leading (not fol­ lowing) these men to work. Thanks to War­ den Handy's green thumb, colorful flower beds brightened the Pine Street facade of the prison. In 1960 the Bucks County Commission­ ers realized there was serious overcrowding in the jail and there existed a "smothering blanket of tension caused by repression." The commissioners and Warden Handy thought in terms ofexpansion , but some Friends in the county, working through the William Penn Center in Fallsington, Pa., and the Friends Prison Service Committee, had other ideas and offered to survey the situation. Before the commissioners had acted on the Quaker report, Handy died. His successor was Major John Case, an ex-Marine. Initially Friends were not happy with the appointment. But, as the author of The Pine Street Hotel, Lois Anderson, has put it, his arrival "was a red-letter day for Bucks County.

In Brief Why the Homeless Don't Have Homes and What to Do About It By Micheal Elliott. Pilgrim Press, Cleveland, Ohio, 1993. 152 pages. $8.95/paperback. Af­ ter 15 years of work with the homeless, the author has seen what works and what doesn't. Following an insightful appraisal of current government, religious, and community re­ sponses to homelessness, this book does offer solutions. A new approach is needed that stresses accountability on the part ofthe home­ less, and unifies everyone involved in coordi­ nated efforts. Through communication and a rethinking of the causes of, and solutions to, this problem, everyone can find a place to call home.

The baby boom generation is reaching mid-life and many of them are ask­ ing questions about the meaning of their lives and what they want for their children. This book comprises four years of sociological research that examines the baby boomers' evolving attitudes toward religion, and what effects those attitudes are having on orga­ nized religion and American culture in the 1990s.

Send FRIENDS JoURNAL to school. FRIENDS joURNAL is designed to nourish the mind as well as the soul with articles on social and political concerns, spiritual journeys, and Friends news. Students will appreciate the JouRNAL as a way to keep in touch with these and other aspects of the community of Friends. You can help continue a young person's connection with his or her community with a special school-year subscription to FRIENDS JoURNAL. Student subscriptions last for 8 issues and are offered at the special rate of $12. Orders should be received by September 9 to insure receipt of the October issue.

I'd like to send FRIENDS joURNAL to a student away at school. Enclosed is $12.
