Washington, d. C.
Last week l sat down to write a
piece about a man who wrote a book
about the Bible. I thought the book
and its creator were worth more
than casual comment because of the
nature of both creation and creator
Both are unique. But before I had
made more than a dozen inquiries in
search of collateral material for my
article I discovered that the produc-
ton Of the book was news in another
sense. ! found it to be more than
another contribution to modern lit
erature and scholarship. I found it
to be part of a modern phenomenon
"a phase of what appears to be the
greatest revival of interest in the
Bible which the world has W seen.
George Stimson, who wrote "A
Book About the Bible" is one of
Washington's newsmen whose name
is known to many readers Of his dis
patches and his column. especially
in the Middle West and South. He is
known to a smaller circle for the
profundity of his knowledge on many
subjects, especially the Bible. I think
it more than coincidence that he
completed the work to which he has
given a lifetime of study and devo-
ton this year. He may have guessed
that this period in the worlds his
tory which has witnessed the great
est EQUALIZATION Of humankind
would naturally be followed by a
strong reaction toward things of the
spirit. In any cas the arrival of
this Book About the Bible" could
not be more timely. Lloyd Douglas.
author of that gripping work, THE
Robe" informed me last month that
the American Bible Society has re-
ceived the largest order for scrip
lures in its 129 years of history, and
that the distribution of Bibles, New
Testaments and Bible portions by
this non-proit organization has
reached the highest level since it
was founded in 1916.
This biggest single order was for
$50, 900 Protestant scriptures (includ-
ing military missals and prayer
books for the European theater Of
operations and in addition 500 Ger
mar Bibles, 100, 900 testaments and
95, 900 portions" for use with Ger
man war prisoners and informed CT
villains.
Right here in the nations capital,
DR.. Darby, District of Columbia sec
rotary of the same society, tells
me that this was the busiest year
in the chapters history.

Wars Brutolities
Bring Reaction

So much for the situation to date.
Why is it predicted that this great
revival of interest in the holy writ
in this country is only the beginning
Of a movement of worldwide magni-
tude. First, there is the obvious
suggestion already mentioned that it
is logical to expect a reaction toward
things of the spirit after these years
of brutal warfare.
However, there is another answer
which is given by many thought
full people They say this: The de-
feat of na~zi-fascism was the defeat
of an idea as well as a military pow
er. That idea based on a purely
material concept was opposed and
overcome by the western nations
whose philosophy of government as
well as of morals and ethics is based
on the Christian religion.
This triumph of the Christian
democratic ideal has affected diff
ferent people for different reasons
but with the same general result. To
many who yielded to the lure of nazi-
fascism its failure revealed its fun
damental error. Their alluring idol
showed its feet of clay and they
are turning repentingly back to its
opposite, Christianity.
To many who have been but pas
sive followers of the Christian teach
ings. the terrible price the world has
paid in blood has been a harsh re-
minder Of their delinquencies. They
have a renewed zeal in their faith.
To those. of course, who have suf-
fered or are bereft, comfort comes
with the contemplation of the scrip
lures. with their hopeful message.
And then there is another explain
alton of this desire to renew and re-
inforce their communion with the
word of God. If 1 may venture into
the realm of the metaphysical let
me quote from an anonymous article

Bible Through Life

OF course l asked George how he
happened to write "A Book About
the Bible" Because" ne said with
no hesitation, Il wanted answers to
those questions myself" The first
Bible Stimson ever owned he got
from a mail order house when he
was Is. 1t was his second town.

Progress" He read them both, by
a kerosene lamp, stretched out on
his stomach on the kitchen table.
Then he began to ask questions
questions-questions-of his Sunday
school teacher, of the preacher, Of
anyone who would listen. How did
Paul look? What about Jesus
brothers? What became of the lost
tribes Of Israel? and many others
which thousands of readers of the
Bible have asked before and since.
The answers weren't so satisfactory
to the young inquisitor and so he
kept on asking. And reading, and
chipping and searching and re-
searching.
Nor did he cease to examine the
source of his curiosity. He has read
the Bible from cover to cover at
least 10 times. He has read it count
less times if you added up his brows-
ings. He has read it twice aloud to
himself.
And now, he gives the world the
answers to the questions he himself
began asking back there in the little
country church, giving them to the
world simply, authoritatively and
completely, at a moment when the

than any other ever printed. is be-

Discharge Plan.

If your boy, husband or father is
eligible for discharge under the 85-
point rating, don't expect him home
too soon. 1t may take months to
move him from Europe or the Pa
cifc.
And another thing, don't expect to
rush out and buy a new automobile,
washing machine, radio, vacuum
cleaner or other household equip
ment within the next few weeks.
1t will be the latter part of the year
before these things are on the mar
ket and probably after the first Of
the year before they r available in
any quantity. And in spite of the
announcement that 1912 prices will
prevail, don't expect to buy the same
quality you bought in 1912 at the 1912
price. 1t appears to this reporter
that the trend here is to relax price
controls to some extent, which
means upward, on all manufactured
articles. Materials for civilian
needs are still scarce and nigh and
labor wages r almost bound to in
crease.

And that is what he does. Take
the first one when was Jesus born?
and the last one: does mile" occur

who is this man Stimson, anyhow?

healthy name of brown hair while he
