Old Testament Supported By Re

New York Science has unearthed
new evidence in support of the Old
Testament, and has under scrutiny
possible new evidence corroborating
the New Testament.
Melvin G. Kyle, president of the
Xenia Theological Seminary in St.
Louis, arrived here Sunday from an
archaeological inspection of the ex
cavated ruins of the Biblical city of
Kurjath-Sepher founded by the Cn
naanites in 2000 B. C„ and finally de
stroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 600 B.C.
Dr. Kyle declared that successive
ages of the city mentioned in the book
of Joshua, and now calk'd Tell Beit-
Mirsam by the Arabs, were traced by
layers of ashes from the five times it
was burned, and by kitchen utensils
and rope-worn well stones, placed one
upon another.
The city, which Dr. Kyle estimated
to have had a peace time population
of 5000 and a war time population of
perhaps 15.000. had underneath it rock
hewn rooms for water, food, and war
supplies. He estimated that the ruins
provided a complete account, in agree
ment with the Bible, of the Canaan
ites from 2000 B. C. until the exodus
and the city’s destruction in 600 B. C.
