Pharaoh Of Egypt at the time
of the exodus under Moses, and
that the exodus took place some
time between 1901 and 1884 BIC. |
On the other hand, there are
some scholars who believe
Ramses II was the Pharaoh of
the oppression but that the
exodus took place under his
successor, Merneptah, whose
dates are variously placed from
1884 to as late as 1915. This
would place Moses a little later.
With reference to Abraham,
the scholars are even less def
mite, Some suggest that he
might have been a contempo-
rary of the Babylonian King
Hammurabi who is dated at
2130 to 2088 BIC. This theory
is based on the assumption
that Amraphel, mentioned in
Genesis 1879, is identified with
Hammurabi, but this is not
widely supported. Biblical
scholars date Abraham vari-
Ously between 2100 BIC. and
1900 BIC. In recent years the
tendency has been to place the
time Of Abraham in about goth
century BIC.
1t is virtually impossible to
assign any definite chronology
cal dates prior to the time of
Abraham.

Question: Some time ago
someone asked you for prayers
to be offered at mealtime. Now
I would like a prayer to use
when entering the church to
prepare for the service"
Answer: There are many
beautiful prayers for this pur-
pose in various Christian and
Jewish prayer books. I assume
the writer of this question is
in a church which does not
have such a book in the church
.pews. I should suggest some
thing like the following:
Prepare me, o Lord, to re-
ceive the gift of Thy Grace as
i enter into the act of COM
mon worship with all who seek
Thy presence here. Let this
time be spent in adOring Thee,
my God, that l may go forth
from here to do They will.
Amen"
Question: What is the
branch theory which is said
to be a doctrine of the Episcopal

Answer: The branch theory
Is not an official doctrine OF

which is held by many Epis-
scopalians or Anglicans, which
maintains that the Anglican

Mr.. Wroth said he hopes the
pageant will become a congre-
cation tradition. The pageant
also may be precedent FOR q
drama this spring recounting
the church's history, when the
parish celebrates its 250th
anniversary.
The first worshippers, Mr.
Wroth said, met under Glebe
Oak, a 500-year-old tree still
standing outside the structure
In 1719 Col. John Bradford
vestryman, decided 100 acres to
the congregation. This acre
age was the nucleus for what is
now said to be the second
largest church-owned cemetery
in the country.
The present building was
raised in IT'S and remcdeled in
1868. When the interior was
destroyed by fire IN 1922 it was
Immediately rebuilt.
The location, however, causes
the congregation some trou-
BILE. They are afraid no one
will be able to find the church
for tomorrow's performance.

early custom, the parish was

NOTE
on new
babies
bringing up baby
Hints collected
By Mrs.. Dan Gerber.
Mother Of S

Something old, something new,
something borrowed, something blue.
Some mothers apply this charming
wedding custom to baby's layette.
Nice sentiment for a new baby.
MANY a new mother is overwhelmed
by the magnitude of being a mother,
and often worries unduly about her
ability to handle baby. Best advice l
know is to read authoritative articles
on baby care heed your doctor and
trust your mother instinct. Be
surprised how much it will teach
and tell you. It's most reliable.
Watching baby's diet is one of your
doctors (and your) primary concerns.
When he gives you the go-ahead on
cereal, you'll want to try Gerber Cereal
Quads-the variety package containing
small-size boxes Of Rice Cereal,
Oatmeal, Mixed Cereal and High
Protein Cereal. Each one has q bland
but distinctive favor-all four have
a mooth-to-the-tongue easy-to-swallow
texture. Most important, they're
enriched with bodybuilding iron,
important B-vitamins and bone
building calcium.
Night -feedings simpEfied. You can
take the grope and tumble out of
night feelings if you lay out robe,
slippers, diaper ETC., in advance.

Luminous paint on hall and kitchen
light switches will save many
stumble in the dark.
Vitamin viewpoint. Baby's vitamin
drops are best put in baby's mouth
by dropper. If you put them in his
formula and he doesn't finish it,
precious drops will be wasted.
Another vitamin viewpoint.
Vitamin C, so important for sound gums
and body tissues, is usually
recommended early in the new baby's
diet. Gerber Strained Orange Juice
is an excellent source of vitamin C.
Made of tree-ripened fruit, specially
selected for mildness, it's ever so delicate
the way it should be for new baby.
Other good starting juices:
Gerber Apple Juice and Orange-Apple.
Here at Gerber we carefully prepare
over 100 cereals, strained and junior
foods to meet your baby's nutritiOnal
needs. We're proud to say:
Babies are our business -.

through one prison building too

stroy anything good that the
Negro in the south already po-
ssesses.
Speaking directly in regard to
integration which he called "an
unfortunate word", he asserted,
using the recent happening in
Atlanta as the example, that
there has been no integration
anywhere in the south. What
has happened, he said, has been
"token desegregation" Adding
that integration of students will
be a long time coming, and that
integration of Negro teachers
will be a longer time coming.
Pointing to the effects of the
drive for integration of Negro
students and its effects on the
Negro teaching profession more
by implication than by words, he
used as an example, the abolish
in gof the Louisville Municipal
College for Negroes in Louis
vile, Kentucky, following which
only one of the Negro profess
sors has since been able to find
a job.
In reference to the sit-ins,
kneel-ins, and other forms of
protest, he said that there are
those who hold that all such
things are a necessary part of
the Negro struggle for first
class citizenship, but he warned
Negro students, that high ex-
cellence and brains are the de-
mands of the times, that when
thew make applications to enter
a University, or apply for a
job in industry, they are not
going to be judged as sit-iners,
but by the highest standards
and qualifications.
The speaker was introduced
by Prof. B. B. Dansby, retired,
longtime President of Jackson
State College, and one of the
most widely known educators of
the state, and one of the most
prominent among a number of
