SCIENTIST MAKES
"FIRST BIBLICAL SCRIPT"
LECIBLE
Loosens Parchment Found in
Cave
A British scientist, working
delicately with blackened wads
of ancient parchment, is MAX
ing progress toward decipher-
ing what are believed to be
written Hebrew texts of the
Old Testament books.
Asked how valuable the bits
of parchment are, DR.. Harold
J. Plenderleith said today:
'How do I know their value in
money? How valuable is the
Bible?"
DR.. Plenderleith, who heads
the research laboratory at the
British museum, has been
working three months trying
to separate the decomposed
pages without destroying them.
Found by Arab Boy
The blackened scrolls were
scraped and sifted from the
floor of a cave near the Dead
sea in Hashemite Jordan. They
are what is left to British arch
biologists after an Arab shep-
herd boy two years ago led
other explorers to the discov-
cry of we'll preserved scrolls
containing books of the Bible.
DR.. Plenderleith said the
scrolls had been wrapped in lin
en- and sealed in jars containing
pitch. However, he said 2,1OO
years had made the parch-
ment extremely brittle and
part of it had decomposed into
black carbonite.
DR.. Plenderleith said he be-
lieved other similar caches may
be discovered in the Dead sea
area. But the scrolls already
uncovered, he added, will set
scholars to work for genera
lions to come.
Must Be Dampened
Explaining his laboratory
problem, the scientist said his
job was to separate the sheets
but that they cannot be bent
without first being dampened.
The dampness, he said, turned
the decomposed black portions
into a sticky mass.
Then he discovered he could
separate the parchment by
first placing them under glass
in a controlled humidity and
then into a refrigerator to
harden the carbonite. He now
has about 100 pieces separated,
matched in jig saw puzzle fash
ion and ready for Hebrew ex-
perts to read. The writing is in
carbon ink which stands out
after the parchment is bleach
ed. The letters are in both
ancient classical Hebrew and
a Hebrew colloquail dialect of
the time.

Faith is absolutely essential
to your being filled with Divine
courage. God cannot use you
! unless you have Divine faith
and Divine courage.
Are we going to be faithful
to the end?
Let us think of Paul and of
the many things he endured. In
the Twenty-eighth Chapter of
Acts, the Fifteenth Verse, Paul
is on his way to prison in the
City of Rome. Some faithful
brothers and sisters came out
of the city, travelled down the
Appian Way and met Paul;
and we are told in this verse
that when Paul saw them che
thanked God and took cour-
age"
Do not permit the WORD to
depart from you.
Be firm. Be faithful. Be
steadfast.
You, my brothers and sis
ters in Christ, have a very rich
heritage. You have had the
beautiful teaching on Divine
Healing - do you prize it?
There is only one thing to
do: put your trust in God and
live the passive life. Eat what
is good in moderation; drink
what is good; sleep the sleep
of the just; serve the Lord with
joyfulness. Read what is good.
Take nothing into your mind
which is not uplifting and en-
nobling. Trust God for heal
ing. Trust God for all your
needs.
True courage is born of God
and is begotten of God in the
spirit of the individual. Men of
the world have daring, but. that
is born of the carnal. True cour-.
age is born of the spiritual and
enables one to go forward in
the straight and narrow way to
do virtuous things, to act from
high, lofty, and true motives,
and with noble purposes.
Fear, we are told in the Word
of God, comes from the lack of
the love of God shed abroad in
the heart.
Perfect love casteth out
fear"
Gear hath torment"
If a man is linked with Jesus
Christ, he makes every failure,
as we'll as every success, a STEP
ping stone on which to stand,
to rise higher in the scale of
human greatness and divine
achievement.
Do not be discouraged be-
cause you are not perfect. You
are simply in the course of pre-
paration for eternity; the work
is not yet completed. You can
still pray, Father, sanctify me
wholly!''
What God said to Joshua
He says to all: ''Be strong and
of good courage!"
Fail not to trust in God, and
victory at last will be written
upon your banner.

hood to feed Upon the remains Of
the fish washed upon the shore.
and because Of this it is logical to
assume why the place received the
name Buzzard Point.
After the city was laid out into
lots and squares, and James
Greenleaf, Robert Morris and
John Nicholson came here and in
vested their fortunes, that part OF
BuzZard Point to the west OF
James Creek became generally
known as Greenleaf Point, while
| the point to the east of the creek
retained it's original name.
The history of Buzzard Point as
a settlement, or as proposed set
tlement, precedes the signing OF
the Declaration of Independence
by six years, for it was during the
latter part of ITO that a subdi-
vision of the proposed town Of
Carrollsburg was filed at Upper

Prince Georges County, Md, in
which the town site was heated.

Versatile Printmaker
Versatility, in mastery Of me-
diums and choice of subject mat
ter, and a subtle CLINT OF humor
make unusually attractive the ex-
hibition of prints by Hugh Bolts
in the Division of Graphic Arts,
Smithsonian Building. 1t will re-
main through January 2.
The rs prints include etchings,
drypoints, line engravings, aqua
ttnts, soft-ground. carborundum
tint, wood engraving. Autographs
and woodcuts. Mr.. Bolts selects
the medium he feels is best
adapted to expressing the charac-
ter of a subject and his subjects
have much variety: Manhattan
skyscrapers, industrial activities,
landscapes and rural scenes, river
and wharf views, city blocks, parks
and other urban themes. and fig
ures singly and in crowds.
The artists extensive use OF
aquatint Is particularly arresting.
There Is nothing anemie in his
handling of this medium he gives
1t strength and character. well
adapted to such rugged grandeur
as the New York City skyline from
Central Park, and the East River
full of tugs.
Mr.. Bolts finds people rather
amusing. His incidental figures
are sometimes restrained carica-
lures. When figures are his theme,
as in Refuge" and Hall Bed
room," he captures their quirks
with a feeling of sympathy for
their plights.

university, tne NdIlOudl ACdueIIlS

the major national and interna-
tional print shows in the United
States and abroad. His work Is
represented in many important
permanent collections. including
such outstanding institutions as
the Library of Congress, the Met
ropolitan Museum Of Art. Har-
wards Fogg Museum and the Bos-

Contemporary Colombians
The opening December l in the
Pan American Unions Hall OF
Americas" of an exhibition of work
by contemporary painters OF Co.
lombia. and the presentation to
Gen. Marshall Of a portrait OF
him by one of these artists, Marco
Salas, was reported in the news
columns last week end. The show
is sponsored by the Ambassador OF
Colombia and Sonora De Zuleta
Angel.
A large proportion of the exhibi-
ton is a part of, the private collec-
ton made by Mrs. b. Forrest Uni
director of the "Colegio Estados
Unidos," in Bogota, which she be-
gan a decade ago when she first
went to Colombia to live. The
artists themselves lent other works
to augment the display. which will
be shown in several other cities
This is the first time SO extensive
an exhibition of Colombian paint
ing has been shown here, although
one or two of the painters are
already well known in this coun-
try, having exhibited here before
Luis Alberto Acuna is the best
known. He was represented in the
international Business Machines
exhibitions of art from 10 coun-
tries at the New York and San
Francisco expositions in 1899. His
seven paintings in the current
show give comprehensive idea OF
his somewhat hammered but clean
cut work, with its balanced COM
positions, solid forms. somber col
ors and stippled application OF
paint.
The exhibition is very largely
traditional in techniques; most OF
the paintings are pleasing and
competently executed. The largest
group both in numbers and size Of
paintings comprises work by Con-
zalo Aria, who depicts the i'm
pressive landscape of Colombia
with academic naturalism. Sergio
Trujillos "Annunciation" has a
different approach from most ver-
sions of the theme.
In five water colors, exquisitely
drawn and painted in high key
by Alfonso Ramirez Fajardo, one
gets a glimpse of Colombian ma
tives, customs and costumes. Two
of the II artists represented are
showing abstract and non-objec-
tive paintings: Marco Espina and
Eduardo Ramirez Villamizar.
This exhibition was installed for
a very brief showing. It will close
after Wednesday. A one-man
show by Federico Cantu, which
opened a few days ago at the
Pan American Union in the dis
play gallery on the main floor, will
remain through January Is.
