Scholar Says Most People
Read Bible Wrong; Claims
Starting At Back Best Way
By LOUIS CASSF.I.S
United Press International
One reason why many people
have difficulty in reading the
Bible is that they begin at the
beginning.
That's the wrong place to start,
according lo Or. J. Carter Swaim.
a noted biblical scholar who heads
the English Bible department of
the National Council of Churches.
Swaim has composed a little
handbook on Bible reading. His
suggestions on understanding the
scriptures include a sort ot road
map to enable the reader to get
through the whole book without
"bogging dowo) in the begats."
"Since the Bible is supremely
a hook about Christ, it is import-
ant to begin with those sections
which ti whal he did when he
was here among men," says
Swaim.
That means beginning with the

Swaim would not have you read

Luke and
"Mark, curliest aQ shortest of
the Gospels, ought to be read
hist and at a single sitting." he
says. "Here we are confronted at
once by 'The Gospel of Jesus
tQist. the Son ot lied."
"Luke's account should be read
next, noting Jesus' concern for all
sorls of people, and how. by teach
ing and example, he 'went about
doing good.' "
Next, Swaim recommends, read
John, the most "theological" of
the Gospels. Then you are ready

Stocks Move Through Wide
Arc, End Up In About Same
Spot As Recorded Previously
NEW YORK (UPI) Stocks
moved through wide arcs during
the past week and closed with
only a slight change from the
previous week.
Trading picked up to the most
active pace since the week ended
May 9 with daily average turn
over at 2,746.429. That compared
with 2.641,076 shares a week be
fore and 2.120,599 shares in the
corresponding week of last year,
The week's volume of 13.732,147
shares brought the year's volume
lo date to 281,605,146, well above
the 255,275,725 shares of this time
last year, and within touching
distance of the 1956 total of
286.039,791 shares.
The market rose on Monday
and Tuesday in the industrials,
declined moderately on Wednes
day and sharply on Thursday
with a rally Friday. Rails were
up Monday and Friday and down
the other three days. The drop
on Thursday induced mainly by
fears railroad transportation
taxes would be maintained, was
the most severe of any decline
since Dec. 16.
After the Thursday close the
Senate voted to kill the rail ex
cises and on Friday the carriers
more than made up the Thurs
day loss.
At the close of the week, the
rail average stood at 119.17 off
The Red Cross Reports
By VIRGINIA DIXON
Executive Secretary
Red Cross activity chairmen
made the following report. for May
to headquarters of the Klamath
Basin Chapter, American Red
Cross.
For the blood program, Mrs.
Madelyn Swaney, blood chairman.
says 107 pints of blood were sup
plied to local hospitals for patients
from hlamath Falls, Malin, Ore-
tech, Biy, Dairy, Tulelake, Chilo
04iin, Keno. Sprague River, Beatty
and Merrill.
Meetings were held with Mason
ic groups and Merrill and Tulelake
community leaders to plan donor
recruitment for the June visit
of the bloodmohilc which collected
blood needed for the next three
months.
Mrs. Alma Sweetman, home
service,, states 64 cases were
served last month, including as
sistance with emergency leaves,
reporting, obtaining compensa-
tains the sermon on the mount
and many familiar parables.
In Swaim's sequence, as in the
Bible's, the Gospels are followed
oy the Book ol Acts, which re
cords the early history of the
Christian Community, and by the
letters, or "Epistles," which Paul
and other Aposlles wrote to the
young churches that sprang up in
Asia .Minor during the first cen
tury A.I).
"We are ready now to explore
ine out testament which .
looks forward to the Messiahs
coming.
But Swain says, it is best not
lo begin at the Book of Genesis
and read straight throiifi (he Old
Testament. Start with the Proph

- in the New Testament: Isaiah,
Micah. llosea. Jeremiah, Malachi,

dealt with in the New Testament.
Now go on to the miscellaneous

Testament the poetry ot the
Psalms. I he moving stories of
Job and With, the wisdom of
Proverbs.
Next to last in Swaim's list is
the hook which comes first in the
Bible Genesis.
The last hook of the Bible, Rev
elations, also comes last in
Swaim's list.

"Penned up like a dog." a Mind

glad tha I. too, am retiring,"
commented motorman William
Armstrong.
It s time to quit anyway, said
the 64-year-old Armstrong. "Traf
fic is getting too heavy and too
fast."

criss-crossed the Pacific three
times, saw Japan in cherry blos
som time before returning to Wyo
ming where she went oack to the
school room after the death of her
husband.
"I liked variety, so after teach
ing in Wyoming, Oregon and the
Orient, I decided I'd like to try
my hand at something else. I
wasn't a girl any more but I went
back to school, to learn how to
make women beautiful."
She ran her own shop for a
time, then instructed student beau
ty operators in a beauty school.
She came to Southern Oregon
when her son-in-law came to Bo
nanza to teach. Later when he
went to Tulelake as principal of
the high school, Mrs. Gray was
eager to try her wings at some
thing new, said "yes" to then city
councilman Richard Moore of Tule
lake, when he sought her help in
keeping the small library open.
She had clerked a bit in a fam
ily-owned five 'n dime and the
new job was another challenge to
the lady. That was more than 11
years ago.
The library, monitored by the
Siskiyou County Library, had for
many years been shunted from pil
lar to post wherever there was
room and someone interested to
serve as librarian.
"That library," said Mrs. Gray,
"really needed someone to fix it
up." The books needed cleaning
and repairing so she rolled up her
sleeves and went at it. She is
proud of the neat shelves! the
comfortable reading space . . .
welcomes those who come seek
ing information and books.
"Transients," she says, '-'can't
get a library card when they come
to help harvest the crops here in
the fall, so I collect these small
paper-backed books, mostly West
erns for them. When they get shab
by I send them back to the coun
ty librarian and they go to tha
boys who are in jail over some
trouble.'"
Children flocked about her, the
day the Herald and News camera
man asked for a picture, and she
is eager to put good reading ma
terial into the hands of the young.
She thinks the sack dresses of
today are for the young, but she
likes color, was chic in a scarlet
knitted suit, a stunning choice to
complement her snow white hair.
Lucile Gray is still slender and
lithe as when she raced horses
over the Montana flatland, jumped
fences, ice skated and danced the
night away . . . still eager to
conquer new fields.
