The Secret Is Discovered

Longbill and Mrs. Longbill had
kept their secret we'll They intend
ed to keep it until the time came
when four fluffy little Longbills
would come from those four eggs
and Mother would proudly lead
them out into the Great World. No
one knew where that nest was.
More than once it had taken a great
deal Of courage to sit perfectly still.
More than once Mrs. Longbill had
heard the patter Of feet and known
that Reddy Fox was within Jump
ing distance OF her. TO have taken
to her wings would have been safe
ty. 1t would also have meant giving
her secret away to Reddy. SO she had
sat tight. not moving so much as
feather. and Reddy had passed
on without knowing that she was
there. Once Lightfoot tho Deer
had jumped right over her More
than once Redtail the Hawk had ga
in q tree right above her. 1t ha d

Mission Beach today stands pre-
eminent among the beaches of
Southern California and is rapidly
gaining in popularity. The even cool
summer weather of San Diego and
the fact that the sun shines with
decided regularity without scorch-
ing is a big factor residents of the
valley take into consideration when
planning on their vacations. Two
and a half miles Of the finest bath
ing beach together with the great
plunge at Mission Beach is an at

FIRST eOOK gfbde NEW TESTAMENT

The Book of Genesis, the first book of
the Bible, is also the first book of the
Pentateuch, or the so4called five books of
Moses. Often the first six books are
grouped together, and called the Hex
ateuch.
Modern scholarship has practically aban-
doned the idea that the early books of
the Scripture were written by Moses.
There is embodied within them tradition
that is Mosaic; but the books in their
present form could hardly have been
written by the great Lawgiver.
Modern Biblical research has determined
that the first books of the Bible are
compilations of four principal documents,
technically designated as the documents
of j, E, D and P.
The Book of Genesis tells of the crea-
ton of the world, of the deluge, and the
history of the early patriarchs Innum-
cradle disputes have centered about the
Biblical account of the creation. Whether
we believe in the literal accuracy of the
narrative, there can be no doubt of the
poetic and symbolic beauty and truth of
the account
