ton Harte, set up committee OF
well-known clergy, all noted for
their vital interest in biblical mar
rative. Each clergyman was re-
quested to submit a list of the so
biblical stories he felt should go
into the book. Then all Of the
lists were correlated. 1t was found
that 26 stories were high on the
list of each selector. These be-
came the textual material.
'They could be ideally illus
trated by 80 portraits. Houston
Harte went to work on the text

This was in the fall of 1945.
Mr.. Rowe's Portraits.
In painting his portraits Mr.
Rowe, who formerly did Time
magazine covers, was to do for to-
day what earlier artists had done
for their periods. The great Hans
Holbein in 1543 put out THE
Images Of the Old Testament" a
work OF 81 wood cuts of Bible
scenes and characters. Each pic
ture. one to a page. had a few
lines OF text to explain it. So well
done were they that Arthur M.
Hind in his Hans Holbein the
Younger" called them "the most
wonderful series Of illustrations to
the Bible In existence no
rivals, except the Scriptural prints
OF Durer and Rembrandt"
In the "Nebcsei-Lipocz Bible. "

Hungary, there are 122 his

Autographs. was published IN 1928
at Wien, Germany.
As Men Of Today.
But none of these were done in
conjunction with such an elab-
crate text. Mr.. Rowe had the
problem of making the illustra-
tions that reveal emotionally the
character of Bible heroes. 80 And
the style Of the illustrations had
to be so timely as to bring immedi-
ate reaction from today's readers.
They should see the biblical
characters as great leaders of all
but also as men Of today with
a message for today"
This he has succeeded superbly
well In doing. @
The stories finally selected are
the Creation. Adam and Eve,
Noah, Abraham. Jacob. Joseph,
Moses, Balaam, Joshua, Gideon,
Jephthah, Samson. Ruth, Saul,
David, Solomon. Elijah. Elisha,
Esther. Job, Isaiah. jeremiah,
Ezekiel, Daniel, Amos and Psalms.
The stories, in their characters
and their telling, are timeless.
Here they are being told again,
by text and picture, for today.
The ageless and the contemporary
are blended 50 masterfully that
In Our Image" takes its place
among those permanent achieve
ments which please its own and

porary expression of timeless
achievement.
I'm our Image" is in the main
stream of this tradition. The 1911
King James version of the Bible is
q noble monument which stands
rocklike above those that have
come later. But Kent Cooper in
his introduction to his volume
rightly points out "even the King
James version offers certain him
drances to most laymen." And
he triumphantly adds How to
overcome this is the challenge
now answered by the reproduction
of the best stories in a volume
made imposing by modern presen-
tation and impressive art"
The praise is not too high. I'm
Our Image" Is a splendid book.
1t Is splendid in the way the 26

been presented; in the superb 80

ment personalities, by Guy Rowe:

Of my friends would like to read

read and where to ind It," AS

many thousands of potential read
ers are apparently confused and
discouraged by the bulk Of what
seems at first glance to be extra
neous material. - This being
SO, it was q stroke of genius TO
take the finest and most dramatic
portions of the Bible and make
them as attractive as the very best
Of modern literature"
In doing 50 Mr.. Harte was fol-
lowing a tradition as old as our
language itself. Caedmon put the
story of creation and other Bible
stories into Old English for his
seventh century readers. Aelfric
paraphrased Old Testament sto-
ries for the 10th century. More
important for general purposes
were the dramatizations of Bible
episodes in the 14th and 18th
century miracle plays. The story
Of Cain and Abel and Of Noah
and the flood in the Towneley
cycle and Of the creation in the
Cornish cycle are examples.
The selection for the book was
carefully done. At flrst 1t was
thought 81 Bible stories would be
chosen. But Mr.. Harte, Mr.. Rowe
and the publisher all CONCLUDED
that would be too many for q
single volume. It was decided to
do one volume Of 26' stories for
the Old Testament and one for
the New Testament. The con-
tract was signed November 26,
1945, and the book got under way.
"The words Of the glorious King

Bias in Jury System
Still Improved, Judge
Tells Reds Lawyers
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Judge
Harold r. Medina told counsel for
IL top Communist leaders again
yesterday that they still were fail
ing to prove their charge that the
Federal jury-selection system here
is discriminatory.
The key jury files were brought
into court and examined by law
yers for the Communists. The
defendants are charged with con-
spiracy to advocate forcible over
throw of the Government.
AS the goth day of pretrial ar
gument on the jury system drew
toward a close, the judge said he
had not noticed anything yester-
day that "has any significance" )"
Defense lawyers cross-examined
Jury Clerk Joseph F. Mckenzie,
who had been called by the Gov
ernment to defend the jury sys-
tenn. The defense claims the IL
Communists cannot get a fair
trial under the present jury sys-
tenn.
Ledger Produced.
At one point Mr.. Mckenzie
produced ledger showing a
month-by-month total of trial
jurors and grand jurors on the
Federal rolls. The last listing
for December, 1948-showed there
were 1858 men and 1874 women
who had qualified to serve as trial
Jurors and 1852 men and 273
women qualified as grand Jurors.
Judge Medina then said:
"These figures demonstrate
that, far from discriminating
against women, they are selected
in large numbers, and there is
nothing here to show any dis
elimination against Negroes and
Jews"
In cross-examining Mr.. Nc
Kenzie. the defense established
that some outside organizations
especially the Federal Grand Jury
Association, made up OF former
grand jurors-have submitted
lists of nominations" for jury
service.
Lists Marked "COlored."
Included in these were five lists
marked "colored" The defense
did not bring out what it con-
sidered to be the significance OF
this marking.
Asked by the judge whether the
jury Office keeps a separate list
of Negro jurors, Mr.. Mckenzie
said No"
Judge Medina asked Richard
Gladstein, one of the defense law
yers, if he claimed there was any,
thing wrong" about the Grand
Jury Association and other groups
submitting names to the jury
clerk.
Mr.. Gladstein replied: Il think
it's completely wrong for the Fed
eral Grand Jury Association to
have virtually captured the jury
system"
During the luncheon recess, a
delegation of nine women dis
cussed with the judge the charge
that the jury system discrimi-
mates against women. The dele
Cation was headed by Dr.. Gene
fWeltfish, Columbia University
anthropologist and president of
the Congress of American Wom-
en-, which is on Attorney General
C1ark's list of suhyersive groups.
