tant, wild ducks in large flocks
frequented the Juniata river. Few
fiocks have the courage these days
to light and feed in the river.

trains along the river disturbs the

out of one of the best feeding
streams in the state. The days of

ley are over.
The finding of Babylonian rec
Ords in the ruins of the city of Nip
pur, going back several thousand
years beyond the Bible record does
not in any way effect the Bible in
its revelation of God and that man
is created in the image of his
Maker. The fact remains that the
Bible is the only revelation that
imparts knowledge Of the true
and living God. Without that
knowledge man would be left in
the darkness of heathendom.
