pletely from the world and knowledge Of
twentieth century French life should
depend on some literal translations OF
guidebooks made by men who did not

hence one might wonder about great
road of iron" stretching between Paris
and Bordeaux Or Supposing, DR.. Lamsa
says, all knowledge of an American base
ball game should disappear from the
world except a single account in some
sporting section. Let us say Russian
knowing nothing of American idiomS,
should try to reconstruct the game from
this. He might solemnly record that it
was a very bloody affair, since in this
single game no less than 10 men were
shot dead while running the bases. 1t
would be there in black k-and-white: THE
runner died on second base" The sports
writer would tell of a pitcher being
"cannonaded." Scholars of the future
might have bitter quarrels as to whether
the opposing team actually used
cannon to NOV down the unfortunate
moundSman or whether they did it more
handily with machine guns.
DR.. Lamsa has combed the New Testa-
ment for just such incongruities as this.

passage it's a rather mild warning for
the rich man to watch his step.
John the Baptist prophesied that there
was one coming after him whose shoes I
am unworthy to remove" This is a per-
fectly natural remark to one brought up
in the environment of DR.. Lamsa. 1t is
considered today the greatest possible
insult for a man to keep on his shoes IN
a house. Ordinarily he takes them of
himself. If he is a very distinguished
person the master of the house kneels
and takes them off for him. The Galileans
who listened to John the Baptist under
stood perfectly what he was talking
about.
The Messiah is quoted as saying: "But
whoSoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be
in danger of hell fire" Offhand this
seems a rather severe penalty for mild
offense. But. says DR.. Lamsa, the word
fool" and the word "nursemaid' are
very similar and doubtless were confused
when the translation was made from
northern Aramaic to Greek. 1t makes the
significance of the passage very difficult,
for in his own country when one wishes
to express the extreme of contempt he
calls the other a "nurSemaid.' 1t is
fighting word which may well end in a
fatal quarrel-in which case the speaker
might logically be "in danger of hell
fire"
DR.. Lamsa makes short work of Jonah
and the whale. Among his own people
to say that one is "in whale" is merely
an idiom meaning that one is in trouble.
It is equivalent to the American 'in a
hole" Yet an Aramaic-speaking person,
reading an account of an American base
ball game. might easily come to the con-
clusion that the pitcher somehow slipped
into q deep hole when the bases were

Biblical Forecasts of
Present Calamities
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
= The two comprehensive editorials that
appeared in your issue of Friday, July
10, entitled, "CataStrophies Not New"
and "The American Blight" command
profound reflection on the part Of think
ing people, as they very definitely in
dicate which way the wind is blowing In
both the physical and moral world.
There is biblical significance to the
subjects considered in both publications.
Your declarations that droughtS and
floods are increasing in intensity and
that the physical aspect of our planet has
been altering for centuries have the
support of biblical prophecies.
With storms, earthquakes, WhlrlWlnds,
fire and the sword spreading desolation
everywhere, surely mems hearts in every
section are actually failing them for fear
and for looking after those things which
are coming upon the earth. Never has
the word fear" been used SO frequently
as it is today, and the tremendous dis
turbanceS in Nature and the constant
increase of lawlesSneSs are just causes
for fear. The prophet Isaiah was shown
that 'the earth shall wax old like
garment" that it shall reel to and fro
like drunkard," that it shall be turned
upside down." that it "mourneth and
fadeth away" because "the windows from
on high are open. and the foundations
of the earth do shake" Not only are
all of these things doomed to occur, but
the duststorms that are growing in fire.
quency and destructiveneSS also have
biblical significance.
In asserting the woes that would come
upon the people of old because OF their
discbedience, God said that He would
send upon them "curSing, vexation, re-
buke,' and that cities and country alike
would be cursed, as Woul be their basket
and store, the fruit of their bodies, the
fruit of their cattle, sheep and other
herds, and the fruit of their lands. He
also said that pestilence would destroy
men, and others would be afflicted with
fevers, Inflammation, extreme burning
and mildew, and destroyed with sword
and blasting, and then it was declared
that "the Lord shall make the rain Of
thy land powder and dust-from heaven
shall it come upon thee until thou be
destroyed" See Deut %.
1t is distressingly paradoxical to know
that in spite of all the wonderful in
ventive genius of man, the discoveries OF
science and the praiseworthy efforts that
are constantly being put forth to bring
eternal peace and happiness upon the
earth, the elements are constantly going
on uncomfortable rampageS, and GRIM
inals are becoming more despicable in
their depredations.

Paternalisn1.

It may be that the American people
desire paternalistic state. Some OBJ
servers insist that that is the major
issue of the current campaign. Others
are not so dogmatic. In any case, it
would seem that the changes involved
in such suggestion should be studied
with care. Government control of every
detail Of life is handicap which ought
not to be assumed without thought
about its connotations.
For example, the voters of the United
States should know something of the
effects Of paternalism in Europe. Ger
tain of its phenomena are likely to be
repeated ON this side Of the Atlantic If
present trends continue unchecked.
Hilaire Belloc few years ago devoted
the genius Of his pen to the description
Of one Of them. His theme was survey
made in England. Social statistics, he
explained, were what was wanted. An
army of inquirers was organized for the
purpose. It moved out Of London into
the countryside like an invading host.
Every home was its objective. When it
had done its work, every family had
become a card in a filing cabinet. So
Geological science then reduced every
individual to the status of a dehuman-
ized digit-a mere numeral to be added
Or subtracted. The findings were chart
I'd for the guidance of Parliament.
Mr.. Belloc comedies that no physical
injury was inflicted upon any citizen. On
the contrary, a theoretical advantage
was intended for each man, woman and
child. But the business did not stop at
that. Instead, it affected the psychology
of the people. Their poor rags Of

''in the belly of whale for three days"
says DR.. Lamsa, he hadn't the slightest
idea anybody would take the expression
literally. He merely meant that Jonah
was in a bad mess for three days.

amples of what DR.. Lamsa believes to be
mistaken tranSlations of Aramaic idioms

Mems attire Is becoming a considera-
ton of prominent importance in fashion
magazines. A man will be tolerated in
a boardwalk bathing suit and yet there
is an impression of great indelicacy If he
adjusts his galluses to high state Of
visibility. Not only morals but the super
dcial proprieties of life may depend on
the place in which we live and the time.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton

A Forest Rill.
A little streamlet in the wood
Sang with the birds the whole day long,
And when they slept with folded wings
The rill still sang its happy song.
It sang of fish with silver fins,
OF golden dawns and sunset glow,
OF fairies dancing in moonlight,
OF dreams that only children know.

And listened thru the long night time
That I might catch the melody
And weave such song into my rhyme.
