curly hair, fine hands and long, tapering
fingers"
Portrait by st. Luke?
In the 9th century Andrew Of Crete tells
Of portrait said to have been painted by
st. Luke in which Jesus was represented
with "a long face, the eyebrows meeting,
the head bent forward, the figure we'll
proportioned" little later, a Greek monk
named Epiphanus went as far as to say
Jesus was feet high, with long nose, a
"wheat-colored" complexion, black eye
brows, red hair and even that He greatly
resembled His motherI
The most curious of all these alleged
descriptions Of Jesus Is work entitled The
Letter of Lentulus, which enjoyed great
popularity during the 14th century but
seems to have been entirely forgotten since.
The supposed "Publius Lentulus," who de-
scribes himself as Governor of Jerusalem"
addresses himself to the Senate and the
Roman People" according to the time-hon-
ored Republican formula and gives certain
details of Jesus appearance doubtless poetic,
yet in some respects psychologically star
ting, for all that there is not the slightest
chance that they could have any historical
foundation.
"He had face which called forth venera-
ton, so that those who beheld 1t felt at the
same time awe and love. His hair was nut
brown, falling straight almost to the ears,
with blush highlights in the waves which
fell on His shoulders. He had ruddy COM
plexion; His nose and mouth were perfectly
formed. He had full but not very long
beard, forked at the chin and of the same
color as His hair. He was upright and
slender; His hands and arms were graceful"
Fits Quotation Too Well
The portrait ends with Biblical quota
ton which is doubtless the key to it, for
the description must have been composed
to fit it, Thou art fairer than the chill
dren of men"
The truth is that the "face Of Jesus in the
flesh is unknown to u.s." This has been
repeated by all the Fathers Of the Church,
this remark of st. Ireneus of Lyons, who
lived at the end of the I'd century but who,
through his association with st. Polycarp.
could draw upon the memories of very
early Christian community In Ephesus.
I'VE are entirely ignorant as to what His
face looked like" said st. Augustine. When
we remember that the representation OF
any form OF human likeness was strictly
forbidden to orthodox Jews, it is not at all
surprising that no authentic portrait OF
Jesus should have ever been found. 1t was
entirely contrary to the makeup and the
intentions of the Evangelists, the only true
witnesses Of the life of Jesus, to give any
thought to His personal appearance; it is
not without significance that the only such
reference, in all four texts, is to the appear
ance of Christ TRANSPORTED.

did He wear? What kind Of food did He cot! Who'
was the most striking quolity Of His mind?

as many deaths as tuberculosis,
heart disease. and pneumonia to-
gether."
Emphasis on Disease
If you will take the time to
raread these statistics, it will
strike you that we-laymen and
doctors alike-have been focus
ing our attention primarily on
disease to the exclusion Of acct
dents. Yet, Of the two groups,
we have been letting the most
lethal killer go almost scot-free.
What to do about it? In his
book. DR.. Spekter gives us per-
tinent land brief remedies to
neutralize this danger. 1t seems
to me it is about time that all
of us at last see the need for
fighting accidents as well as dis
ease.
Mishaps come in all forms
Parents should constantly be on
guard to protect their children
from their own recklessness, i'm
pulses and carelessness. Is is ur
to us to prevent falls. burns
poisoning, suffocation. wounds
electric shock, drowning and
gunshot wounds and motor
vehicle accidents.
Some Preventive Steps
Accident prevention requires
not only intensive watchfulness
in the home; 1t requires intensive
effort in the community. Here
are some Of the preventive meas
ures we can take.
/. Survey the home and the
school premises.
2. Check playground and rec
reational equipment.
3. Review traffic conditions
especially those near the schools
and Fairgrounds.
4. Educate people in the COM
munity as to accident causes and
prevention.
5. Teach it to children in the
schoolrooms.
Only in this way can we begin
to make dent in this hereto
fore inflexible problem. The best
way to prevent catastrophe is to
anticipate it. We've been doing
it with poliomyelitis. Why not
with preventable accidents
which are even greater killers?

Important and concise observa-

important cause of child dis

youngsters deserve this addition

The shame lies in the fact that
many of these accidents are pre-

deaths from all causes among
children occur in the ages Of 5
to 10 years, with accidents COM
prising more than one-third of
all the deaths in this age group.
For every fatal accident there
are about $50 causing serious
injuries.
Statistics, ordinarily. are dry
and hard to swallow. Neverthe-
less, it will pay you mothers and
fathers to take in some more
facts.
