Readers of this column have probably themselves corrected an uncorrected slip in the com ment on the lesson for April 22, in which' W an unthinking mo ment I attributed to Paul the great address by Stephen in Acts 7. Paul, of course, was not a Christian at the time, and his recorded addresses do not appear until late- in the Book of Acts. The' slip did not affect the use I made of the reference. The period between the Old and New Testaments is one to which comparatively little atten tion is paid, by Bible readers, but it was of great importance in the development of Judaism and in the preparation for Christianity. Over 400 years elapsed between the last writing of the Old Testa ment and the first writing in the New. the epriod was not with out religious writing as readers of the Apocryphal Books of the Old Testament well know, but the 14 books, varying in value, were not a part of the Hebrew Canon, which closed with the Book of Malachi. The Apocryphal Books were included by Miles Covcrdalc in his English version of the Bible in 1535, and they were retained O KATI0N CALENDAR Processed Foods: Book 4 Blue stamps H2 through M2 valid through June 2.

They are com monly found in pulpit Bibles, nnct in me omer type oi ramny nitiloo " Rparloi-c u.lin twish nme understanding and knowledge of me nisiory oi me perioa snouiu turn to the Apocryphal Books, and particularly to the Two Books of Maccabees. This period of over 400 years saw the rise and fall of the Per sian Empire, its overthrow in the world conquest of Alexander the Great and the ascendary of Greece, and the domination of the world by Rome,, com pleted shortly before the Chris tian era, which was to continue throughout four centuries of Christian development. The confusion and contrasts, the struggles for power, the per secutions and the bitter suffer ings and destruction of masses of people, that have marked re cent years in our own time,, are prevalent in that history alung with the evidences of deop faith and religious feeling. The roc incredible, had I not seen, only the night before writing, these words, the films of the terrible atrocities committed by n a z i fiends in the prison camps of Germany. It is in the light, or darkness, of such present-day fiendishness that one reads of the slaughter of 6000 Jewish worshippers within the very precincts of the Temple, when Alexander Jannaeus brought in his mercenary troops, to effect this wholesale murder, when the worshippers had protested against the desecration of the altar and of their religious rites. That faith and hope and good ness, and devout expectation of the coming of the Messiah, could persist through all the persecu tions and cruelties, the murder ous rivalries and struggles for power, and the repeated and de termined efforts to pervert the purity of religion, ought to give us faith that out of our own dark times a new era of truth and love and righleousniss will dawn for mankind for it was out of these four centuries that there came the life, and teaching, and Gospel, and saving power of the Man of , Galilee. In deed and in truth we can say that God is not dead, and that Christ has overcome the world. Afghans Are Sent to Hospital Patients Mrs. If. G.
