Clues to the Date of Christ's Death

the year I BIC. and leads US to
believe that Jesus was born
when the giant star appeared in
6 BIC. This would also account
for why Herod wanted all male
babies killed "up to the age Of
O."
Also. Jesus was about 2 years
Of age when His mother and
Joseph took Him to Egypt
This explains why Jesus was
not among the infants killed.
Another clue Is contained In
the gospel Of st. Luke. where
he mentions the 18th year Of
the rein Of Tiberius (which Is
easily compute6 and the fact
that Jesus was about 80
years old" The Aramaic words
about 30 years old" can also
be translated as I'm the thir-
ties" This was when Christ
was in His public ministry.
Earthquake Splits City
The death Of the Messiah
carries its own historical clues.
The date to be sought must be
the eve of the Passover (the
14th day Of the month Of
Nissan, according to the Jew
ish calendar) and this feast
must fall on a Friday. II Jesus
was a man I'm his thirties."
then the probable date of His
death is April 6. A. D. 80, be-
cause that particular Passover
began on a Sabbath friday
and because, later in the same
century. Josephus. q renegade
Jew. in writing about the fall
OF Jerusalem. In A. D. 70. men,
tons that the city was split
by an earthquake 40 years
earlier.
The earthquake, according to
the Bible. occurred at 8 pm. on
Good Friday, as Jesus Christ
willed Himself to die one the
cross. This earthquake is also
reputed to have rent the veil
Of the great temple. Excavators
have found that the Jerusalem
Of Christ's time lies about 20
feet below the rubble Of pres
ent-day Jerusalem.
When ! was there. two years
ago. the Psychologists said that
split rocks have been unearthed,
and that these splits ran from
northwest to southeast. II this
is true. then the earthquake
moved from Calvary. the site of
the crucifixion. directly to the
great temple, which lay to the
Southeast.
These things are deducible.
II they are correct land the
majority Of Roman Catholic
and Protestant Psychologists in
Jerusalem subscribe to them)
then Jesus was born In the
winter solstice Of 9 BIC. (the
week Of December ~ and died
on April 8. AID. 30 He was 80
years and 3 months Of age.

Men attain their goals in
diverse ways when they retire.
Sometimes they build q house.
Here's q man who did-Gene
w. Bricker. an ONCE man with
little more to his credit in the
building line than a couple of
trellises and q backyard trash
burner until he was IS.
He apparently got more sat-
isfaction out of the project
than Of anything he had done
than out Of anything he had
done In 10 years. according to
his wife and q couple Of old
friends who watched him do it.
But 1t was the way he did it,
rather than his satisfaction,
that will interest other men Of
his age.

old and big" he says. and in
the housing market Of 1855,
when ! retired, 1t was worth
q good $4,000. We had bought
1t for q lot less In 194l, and II
was paid for.
Broke Up Lot
1T was on q big corner lot
l00xl40 feet. and was so stu
ated that I could cut q 60xl00-
foot lot on the property and
never hurt 1t. I did. and sold
the house on an 80xlO0-foot lot
for $4,000. A lot such as
saved for US was worth about
$1,000"
Mr.. Bricker. with tolerant
assistance from his wife, Their
set the stage to be a house
builder. He pursuaded a neigh
Dor three doors away to rent
them an upstairs apartment for
q year. II accommodated the
furniture they wanted to keep
and was comfortable enough.

the public library had on con-
struction." he says. Il sat in on
about q dozen high school voca-
tional classes In carpentry and
masonry. After four months
had crammed enough to do
everything city ordinances
would let me do"
Then he went searching for
. design for his house. He and
his wife were agreed that they
needed only three rooms-a
large living room that would
handle q sofa bed and dining
space. q small Kitchen bath,
and . good bedroom. THE
problem was how to get such

When did Christ die?

Wnen olo CnrlSC oleT
The answer Is In perpetual
dispute. No one knows. How
ever. In the 1900 years since
His death. the great scholars OF
each century have added bits
and pieces to our knowledge OF
The Messiah. These are clues
nothing more. However. the
clues point in one direction and
1t Ia possible. by equating them.
TO arrive ct certain conclusions
about the date Of Christ's birth
and also the date Of His
death.
For example, there are Ger
tain provable historical facts
in the Bible. We can fix the
reign Of King Herod, who adj
ministered the affairs Of q large
part Of Palestine when Jesus
was born. We can also nix the
reign Of Tiberius Caesar. who
ruled the known world. includ-
ing Judea. in the time Of Christ.
Tiberius appointed Pontius
PLATE as Procurator Of Pales-
tine. Historians can almost
though not quite-flx the exact
date. Pilates wife was known
to have great political influence
in Rome: In fact, she was one
Of the few wives permitted to
live with her husband in q
province. The Bible tells us
that she warned her husband
to have nothing to do with
this just man."
Error in Birth Date
Pope Gregory. centuries later,
assigned a monk named Dion
ysius to devise a calendar and
ordered him to fix the date Of
Christ's birth as the year one,
Ammo Domini. Our troubles in
fixing the birth Of Christ come
from q mathematical error
committed by Dionysius. The
year which he dubbed / AID
Is now thought to be the 9Th
year In the life Of Jesus. How
the monk made the mistake. no
man knows, but it has upset
Biblical calculations ever since
When the Magi came tc
Judea to worship the infant
Messiah. they said that they
had seen a bright star in the
east and had followed 1t. They
told this to Herod, an insane
king. Astronomers Of today
calculate that. in the year 74e
AUG. Of the Roman Calendar
or the year 6 BIC. In our calen-
OAR, there was a remarkable
conjunction of the planets
Jupiter and Saturn and Mars,
which appeared to be fused
together into one gigantic star
In the constellation Pisces. This
occurs every 600 years.
1t Is a provable fact that
Herod. hoping to destroy the
Messiah, ordered a slaughter
Of al male Jewish babies up to
the age Of 2. This occurred in

Demanding Prescription in Writinq
By DR.. PETER J sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I'd
like 10 know why our doctor
will not give any Of his pa
tients q written prescription.
He telephones his prescrip-
ti0ns 10 q large drugstore
which, I have heard, IL owned
by q relative Of his.
After all, we all have friends
In the drug business who are
reliable people and should be
patronlzed by US. Is 1t against
medical profession ethics for
q doctor TO- refuse to give his
patients q written prescrip-
ton? Sincerely, MIR. M. C.
In my practice. the patient
is always allowed his choice Of
any reliable pharmacy. The pa
tient pays for the physicians
advice. I believe that he is en-
titled to carry the prescription
out with him. Although ! don't
know what formal stand the
American Medical Association
takes on this matter. I think
that most doctors agree: The
patient has q right to a writ
ten prescription.

0elm6 MI uIIl very LIOuUICu
by the unhappy relationship I
have been having lately with
my parents, particularly my
mother.
I am, frankly, an old maid.
I am nearing 10. I was never
an attractive girl and I GER
tainly haven't improved with
age, My mother was quite a
beauty in her youth and al
ways looked forward to having
a daughter like herself. I
realize am q great disap-
pointment to her and to my
father.
She always has been q good
mother to me, nevertheless.
But recently I find I can't
take the little cutting remarks
she makes about my appear
ance and my situation. ! talk
back to her and we have vio-
lent quarrels. ! want peace but
can't seem to keep my temper
with her. I think she should
consider my feelings.
Mrs. L. M. - As Selma says.
| I have always been q good
mother to her. ! have done
everything could do for her.
Many sacrifices had to be made
to give her a good home. nice
clothes and a good education.
II never spared myself or
thought Of myself first when
it came to doing things for
her.
OF course, IL Is q disappoint-
ment to Us that Selma did
not marry. but I can't help
feeling she should have made
more Of an effort. It Is not
only the beauties who get
married.
I don't want to hurt Selma'S
feelings. but can't help say
ing something when I see her
going out looking like q slob
with runs In her stockings and
her hair Q mess. She doesn't
have to look like Marilyn Mon
roe, but she can ct least keep
herself reasonably neat.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
A great deal Of damage was
done to Selma Q long. long
time ago. II will take consider
able effort on Selma's part to
repair 1t.
Despite her near-40 years.
Selma sees herself a. q helpless
child in the hands Of her
parents. She Ia mainly con-
cerned about the fact that she
Is a disappointment" to them.
and is easily hurt when her
mother shows disapproval Of
her in any way.
Selma must recognize she
is a full woman with q life
ahead to build. That life will
become anything she seriously
tries to create. 1t can be Moth
ing at all If she persists in
living solely in relation TO her
parents.
Mrs. l.. M. does show consid-
cradle bitterness about Selma.
and we suspect she recognizes
she has had some responsibility
for Selma's unhappiness. The
good home. nice clothes and
good education" mean. very lit
tie to q child who feels some.
what rejected by the parents.
Disapproval Of his or her APP
pearance Is one form Of rejec-
ton. Any child who feels com.
pletely loved will have some
measure Of beauty.
When Selma dresses herself
sloppily she is showing how lit
tie she cares for herself, re-
fiecting what she believes Is her
parents attitude toward her
Yet she cannot accept criticism
because this is one more rebuff
from them. She must try TO
grow out OF these childish pat
terms and recognize that there
