The story of the '0Three Pages"
may not be well known to the av-
erage reader, and the following
extract, taken from DIR. w. o. e.
OeSterley's book, can Introduce
ton to the Books of the Apocry-
pha," indicates, in its outcome. its
similarity to the circumstances of
the return of the Jewish people
to Palestine in our time:
"This tells of how three Young
men of the bodyguard of Darius I
undertook an intellectual contest
as to which of them could describe
in a single wise sentence the
strongest thing in the world; the
king and the three princes of Per-
STA were to be the judges. Each
writes down his sentence on a
piece of papyrus presumably ::
they run: wine is the strongest;
1.-THE king is strongest; Women
are the strongest" Here, however,
an element is brought in which
quite obviously does not belong to
the original story, but which is
interjected for the special purpose
which the compiler of I ESDRAS
had in view; after the sentence,
Women are the strongest, the
entirely irrelevant words are add
ed: But above all things Truth
beareth away the victory"
The story goes on to narrate
how the king and his cOurtiers as
sembled to hear the young men
read out their sentences, and to
set forth the reasons whereby each
is justified. This done, the king
and his mobiles take counsel; it is
unanimously decided that the
champion of women has won the
day, and the king prOnOunces the
verdict in the words: 30 SirS, are
not women strOng?" Now, in the
original story it is highly probable
that the virtues of women were
lauded; but here, be the reason
what it may, the writer goes off
on to a panegyric ON Truth"
DR.. Oesterley comments that al
though the story is told with
great skill, the compiler's remarks
on Truth from the literary point
of view is the best part Of the sto-
ry and is worth quoting, as fol-
lows:
"Great is the earth, high is the
heaven, swift is the sun in his
course, for he cOmpasSeth tn g
heavens round about, and fetch
eth his course again to his own
place in one day. Is he not great
that maketh these things? There
fore, great is Truth, and stronger
than all things. All the earth call
eth upon Truth, and the heaven
blesseth her; all works shake and
tremble, but with her is no I'M
righteous thing. Wine is unright-
eOus, all the children of men are
unrighteOus, and unrighteOus are
all their WOrkS-all such-ike; and
there is no truth i'm them; in their
unrighteOusnesS also they shall
perish. But Truth abideth, and is
strong forever, she liveth and
cOnquereth for evermOre. With her
there is no accepting of persons or
partially; but she dOeth the
things, and all men have pleasure
in her works. And neither in her
Judgment is aught unrighteOus,
and hers is the strength, and do
miniOn, and power, and majesty, OF
all ages. Blessed be the God OF
Truth"
And he ceased speaking. Then
all the people shouted and said:

Just as the summer afternoon last
Friday, July 25, began to shift its
lengthening shadows toward the set
ting sun, the beloved Gladys Estelle
Caution Kelley entered into he1
Heavenly residence-leaving a daugh-
ter, Sinah Estelle, and brother, Louis
of Boston, to mourn her passing. Be
sides the dearly-loved aunt, Mrs
Annie Carter and sister-in-law, Mrs
Grace Caution, also of Boston, there
are large number of sincere friends
in both New York, Connecticut anG
Massachusetts and Nova Scotia, who
read with shocked regret The Guar
dian's brief announcement last week
that she had passed away at the Har-
lem Hospital exactly at the hour OF
going to press. A special wire from
the death bed where the Rev. Shelton
Hale Bishop uttered the prayer for
the departed, was put through in
record time bv Western Union so that
Boston, Mrs. Kelley's home city. might
be the first to know of her death.
Mrs. Louis Caution, sister-in-law
OF the Boston Public Labrary, was
already enroute to New York before
the summons reached her. Louis
Caution was on the Cape and arrived
early on Saturday.
The funeral was arranged by the
family undertaken who has had charge
of all the funerals in the Caution fam
lily. He called the National Funeral
Company in New York and the ar
rangements were under the direction
of the representative of that company.
The remains reposed in a gray casket
placed in the crypt of st. Phillips
Episcopal Church over Sunday. The
family alone was present at the open
ing of the casket after which the
funeral pail was draped over the
coffin and the beautiful floral tributes
We're placed about the crypt and on
the pail. At one o'clock on Monday,
July %, the funeral service was con-
Quoted by Rev. Shelton Hale Bishop at
the foot of the altar of st. Phillips
Church. The organ program of music
was mingled with the constantly re-
peated theme of her favorite hymn

lowing pail bearers tenderly bore the
casket with it's remains from the
church to Fresh Pond Crematory in
L. l.: Messrs. Nathaniel Burrell, Gabri-
ellie Torres Colon, Henry X. Craft,
Ferdinand Q. Morton, Rush Lord and
Jack Miller. A large funeral cortege
accompanied the hearse to the beauti-
fully appointed crematory where Rev.
Bishop read the appropriate prayers
and pronounced the benediction as the
flower-laden casket was gently laid
into the crematory ovens and the fire
door closed forever from sight the

much beloved Gladys Caution-born in

CROWDS AT
TENT Meeting

The Bible and Health Institute at
tracted capacity audience at its
opening meeting Sunday night in its
big tent on Warwick St., facing Madi-
! son Park.
Rev. E. Wellington Clarke, evangel-
ist who heads the Institute based his
sermon on the Prophet Daniels reve-
lation and Interpretation of the kings
dream and pointed out graphically the
application to the various govern
ments which have dominated the
world from early times to the present.
"Hitler will fall; he will never unite
the people of Europe, for as the Bible
says, they will not cleave together
even as iron and clay cannot mix"
the speaker declared amid "Amens"
from many in the audience.
Preceding the sermon was a song
service. There is a choir of some
twenty members. In addition, phono-
graph renders selections by celebrated
singers, including Marian Anderson,
Paul Robson, Roland Hayes.
The sermon was in part illustrated
with pictures thrown on screen near
the platform. This feature was especi-
ally impressive as the evangelist en-
phasized the relation to modern world
upheaval.
Meetings, well attended, have been
held every night during the week. 1t
is expected that tomorrow's meeting
will exceed the attendance of the open
ing night when people found standing
room outside the tent entrances.
Rev. Clarke, the leader of this great
civic movement, is pastor of the
Seventh Day Adventist Church at 712
Shawmut Ave-, now numbering 200
members starting with so. The choir,
senior and junior, numbers so with
Mrs. Marion Hensley leader of the
Junior Choir. Mrs. Clarke, wife of the
pastor is leader of the young people
and also leader of the Senior Choir
and organist. Rev. Clarke was born
in Kingston, Jamaica, W. l. has been
here tweuty-seven years and received

Warming her listeners that while
this nation is still at peace and
in calm frame of mind, its citi-
zens should take stock of them
selves and see to it that their
homes, as we'll as they themselves,
should be in readiness to meet an
emergency should it arise, Miss
Fleda Smith, assistant state leader
of home demonstration agents, dis
cussed the world situation as it af-
fects the home at the meeting OF
home department county chairmen
Friday in the court house.
The speaker emphasized the fact
that. while she is no alarmiSt, in
the face of a wide spreading world
emergency, THIS country can not
hope to escape some effect, and
that homemakers must see to ii
that their homes are ready to
meet whatever the future may hold
for them. Happy homes with suit
able recreation for their members
can do much she said.
Miss Smith also pointed out that
prior to the depression the agri-

farm families could at least get
their living from the farms Shuld
