I believe that even in the dark days of Hitler's Germany it was the bestseller there, and evidently many people were turning to it for the help and comfort that they so sorely needed. It would be pleasant to think that in addition to being the world's best-selling book, the Bible is the most read and used, and the most persistently and intelligently projected into daily life and conduct. I doubt whether that is the case, though 1 think the Bible has come into wider reading and use than in the days when the lar.ge "Family Bible" reposed upon the center table in the old-fashioned parlor. Of course, though the 'Family Bible" reposed there, a smaller Bible, well thumbed and worn, as in my own home, found daily use. This was the "real" Bible as it entered into our lives.

And how well that much-used Bible did enter into daily life and conduct has been well attested in the lives of inumerable Christian Sunday Monday at Saengei JERRY LEWIS and DEAN MARTIN in a. riotous scene from Paramounts "MONEY FROM HOME," in 3-D, and in color by Technicolor.

What impresses one today, with a sadness amounting at times almost to despair, is the realization that the type of Bible life and conduct in the Jews of the Old Testament and the Christians of the Old and the New is examplified by a minority in today's world.

That contrast must incline toward sadness, but not despair, for one must never forget the small beginnings in which arose the Christianity which millions today profess. In if not quantoty, the Chrstian of today are the world's best, and the world's greatest hope.

They won't recognize themselves as offenders. However in the hope that one of your constant visitors may be an exception here goes; Assuming A Welcome Since the folks who make the unexpected visits are neither relatives nor close friends, they are especially rude in assuming that a welcome will await them any time they are in the mood to call on you. They come at their own convenience yours, and I'd bet anything if you dropped in at their city homes, they would be quite amazed and not pleasahtly so. Why not try it some time and meet their astonishment with a bland.

"Why you come to us so often unannounced that we were sure you welcomed surprise guests!" Being ever, that profession does not always mean possession and reality. And it is here that one might express the passionate wish that the Bible, the world's best-sellng book, should be the 'best-read and the best-expressed in life, I have often wondered whether the Bible, the best-used Book, may not also be the most abused. The Bible consists, in our English version, of 66 books, not just one, With its many authors, coming out of vast and diverse periods of time, totaling possibly a thousand years, the Bible's great diversity has been used to justify all manner of conflicting beliefs and actions. Polygamy, intolerance, all ners of persecutions and cruel punishments, ruthless destruction of enemies; these and innumerable acts of violence and OP' jpssion have justified the the In'its high.e, teaching not; only commends righteousness but exports mercy and ftteft. coffin: 1.

Smith and the Institute, his reporting stopped and lapsed for several years before starting again. Accor- iding to the Centennial Edition of the Hope Star, Dr. Smith and the Institute arrived at an 'agreement and he furnished them a full weather report daily 37 years later from 1840 to 1860 or until his death, This authentic record is now in the Smithsonian Institute and so far as can be ascertained is the first authentic weather report ever kept in Arkansas. Apparently the Civil War interrupted weather readings about 1861, for they were not regularly resumed until 1887 at which time A. H.

Carrigan became the reporter.
