SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Period Between Old Testament and
New Paved Way for Christianity
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D.D.
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

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.
