BIBLE FACTOR IN
 JEWISH HISTORY
End Church Forum Speak CT Shows Influence of
 Old, New Testaments

The Bible was described as fac tor in maintaining the Jews as a nation, with the Old Testament preserving them from engulfment thousands of years ago by other na- tions last night in discussion by Dr. Ernest Sutherland Bates, author and editor at the Second Congrega- tional church forum. Dr. Bates spoke of the Bible as literature and described the Old and New Testa- ments as to their separate effects.
 The Old Testament was described as the foundation of the institutions which govern the Jews, contains the Mosaic law and the first books up to and including Chronicles were compiled over a period of 700 years and are historical, he said. The New Testament is simple to analyze the speaker said.
 H declared that the fundamen- tals of democracy are pointed by the Bible and that the Jewish writers were ahead of many mod ern day thinkers in that they re- alized that society is combination of individual working comparatively.

shame on you; and I'll just
wager that when you see this
beautiful shrine standing out
shining like a sparkling jewel,
that you will be ashamed OF

anybody so completely unlike a
