"IcOnOclast." F"

@. I have long admired the sane
ness of your teaching and how the
rapier of your wit punctures the
stuffed shirts. Would it be accurate
to speak of you as an iconoclast,
and where did we get the word?-
DR.. J. H. K.
A. I suppose I am an iconoclast in
mild kind of way, for I love to
twist the tails of sacred COWS. Let's
take a word 's-eye view Of iconoclast.
The word is formed from the
Greek eikon, image" plus klastes,
"a breaker" From eikon We have
the English word icon, IAN image,
picture, figure, of religious signifi-
canoe" Icon is pronounced EYE-kon.
In the Eastern Roman Empire in
the 10th century, great contro-
versy arose which distracted the
empire for nearly 120 years.
There was a great antagonism be-
tween people who worshiped i'm
ages and people who believed that
image worship was pagan idolatry.
The latter were known as icono-
clasts-image breakers-for they ad-
vocated the destruction of all i'm
ages used in Christian worship, es-
pecially the images in churches.
After long years Of bitter conflict.
the iconoclasts were defeated and
their writings were destroyed by the
triumphant party.
Today, an iconoclast Is one who
delights in attacking cherished be-
liefs as shams, or who seeks to up
root outmoded doctrines, traditions
or superstitions. Iconoclast is pro-
nounced: eye-KON-uh-klast.
@. Please tell us why stamp col
|lecting is known by the very ugly
sounding term philately.-B. G.
A. Philately is pronounced: A.
|LAT-uh-lee. The word was coined
by a Frenchman named Herpin.
Philately was formed from the
Greek philos, loving" plus ateleia,

It is generally accepted that the
first true dogs in America were de-
scendants Of European dog families
brought to this continent from Asia
by way OF Alaska by the red Mon
goloids, the first people of North
America. But how closely these
prehistoric animals resemble those
of later years is dincult to say.
Many Indian dogs resembled wolves,
even to the bowling.
Perhaps the earliest pictures OF
dogs collected about Indian camps
were those given by Coronado in
1541 when on his journey into Kan

DR.. Roy |. Smith
By the Assoeioted Press

MASSANETTA SPRINGS. Va.
Aug. 26.-Dr. Roy L. Smith Of
Chicago told the Bible conference
here yesterday that the Resurrec-
ton of Jesus is the basic fact OF
the Christian faith.
Upon the Resurrection rests
the whole superstructure Of Chris
tian theology, the history Of the
Christian church, and the author
ity of Christian ethics" DR.. Smith
said. ~o~~a, ..,t,...t
He cited other teachers and
spiritual leaders who have ap-
peared through the ages who. he
said, had beautiful doctrines of
love, justice and truth. But when
these teachers died DR.. Smith
said, they were forgotten.
when Christ died he did not
continue dead, but rose again and
took up his work where he left It
off," he noted.
DR.. George M. Docherty Of Aber-
deem, Scotland, told the delegates
about the Iona Community. a
movement of ministers and lay
men within the Church Of Scot
land who seek q secular world to
witness for Christ.
This Witness" said DR.. Doch-
erty, involves the whole of mans
life not merely his soul and mind
and spirit, but his physical body
and body polite. It is grounded
in the belief that Christ, the in
carnate Son of God. came to rule
the whole of life"

whether st. Peters bones actu-

Neither was there any hint re-
