Apostles Creed was pretty much in the shape in which we have it in Rome in the middle of the Second Century when the church disavowed the heresies of Marcion who refused to accept the real deity of Christ and affirmed that He only seemed to live a human life"
 Q-What was the duration of the Biblical kingdom of Israel and how many kings did Israel have?
 A-The Kingdom of Israel, de- scribed by Jewish historians as the golden era in Jewish history, last ed ninety years. It had three kings, Saul, David and Solomon. Previous to the uniting of the Jewish tribes under Saul, they were distinct entities.
 The prophet-judge, Samuel, was the first to consider the problem of unification. Many of the tri- bal leaders demanded a king to consolidate their interests and provide them with 8 military leader. But with doubt existing in Samuels mind, nothing was done until the time of Saul. That Samuel perceived the difficulties of unifcation was proved by the conflict that existed during Saul's reign.
 David, the second king of Israel, achieved unification through charm and military skill and was 8 popular hero. The last of the three kings was Solomon, whose crowning achievement was the erection of the temple.

 He will speak to people anywhere about their welfare. On the trains, busses, depots or in the tabernacle, it doesn't make any difference. He has desperate aversion to smoking and drinking. He warns men and women alike, without fear or favor, that they are "defiling the Temple of the Holy Ghost"
 He has normal boys liking for football, baseball, toys, games-and other children.
 You know I'm a pretty good football player" he said proudly, but I don't get chance to prac- tice much except when I'm home. "I'd like to be fireman in the day. time and preacher at night" he told one of his congregations. "You see, then could save people from both kinds of fire"

 Immediate Appeal
 One of the aims of the Profes- sional Horsemen's Association of America was to raise fund to pro- vide financial and other aid to members who were unemployed or who might become disabled on ac- count of accident or sickness. This VACW P4CFdA1CO 4Ol oOIllC GllIlc, DuU after further consideration it was felt that the scope of the associa- tion should be broadened. The first move was to incorporate the as- sociation in order to put it on a firm foundation. New members were added and a trophy was do- mated by Dr. Andrew J. Jackson, M.F.H, of Watertown, Conn, to be offered at various horse shows. The entry fee in these events goes to the association and mas proven a substantial means of raising reven- ue for the fund. The events them selves have always attracted able riders among the amateurs and professional element and have added materially to the program wherever introduced.

Q-Why is the Lenten sea- son limited to exactly forty

son limited to exactly forty days?
 A-Forty is the number of days of the flood, of the years of the Israelites wandering in the desert, of the days of the fast of Elias, of Moses on Mt. Siani, and of Our Lord in the desert.
 The forty days fast of Lent is a custom of Christian antiquity mentioned by Tertullian GA. D. 99) in his book on fasting, and by Origen GA. D. 230) in his homily on Leyiticus, in honor of Our Lords fast of forty days before He undertook the work of His three years ministry.
 St. Jerema speaks of it as an Apostolic tradition: we fast, the whole world agreeing with us, on Lent, in accordance with the tra- dition of the Apostles. (41 Letter to Marcella).
 Q-What is the Scriptural basis for the clause in the Apos- ties Creed, "He descended into hell?" How old is this creed?
 A-The Scriptural basis for this clause is I Peter 1919.
 The age of the Apostles Creed is one of the most obscure prob lens in church history. An Epis- copalian scholar writes: Prob ably the earliest actual written form of the Creed as we have it was by Marcellus Ancyra about the year $40. But plainly its his- tory goes much farther back. It must have had its beginnings even in New Testament times-in such a Trinitarian formula as II Cor. 1913. Some kind of confession of faith was demanded of candidates for Baptism and this took the form of expressing belief in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.

 He greets his audiences with a cherubic smile, knows all the tricks of demanding attention, and does not hesitate to go dramatic to put over his point. An energetic speak CT, he waves his small, chubby arms, shouting and pounding little stool in front of him, raising his childish face upward and going through all the emotions of an adult evangelist.
 After his sermon he goes down into the audience and talks to those who have asked to be prayed for. Old men and children alike bow their heads and beg for for giveness.
