k 1 ft M 4 I WEEKLY BIBLE COMMENT Bible Story Illustrates Today's Problem EY WILLIAM E. CILROY. D.D A X experience some years ago in i Providence, K. I., revealed to rne how interesting the Bible can ; be. even for those who are un fiirfiiliar with it. I had preached in the morning in the famous "Round Top" Church, a landmark in downtown Trovidence. I was spending a pleasant Sun day afternoon in the University Club library. Over in a far corner ot the large room were two young men. and one of them was reading to the other what I recognized as the Book of Esther, in the Au thorized Version of the Bible. As the one read the tenre story, the other one would break in with, 'Isn't it great?" I wondered why two red-blooded young men, on a bright Sunday afternoon, were in doors and so much interested sud denly in the Bible. The explana tion cane as one of them said. "I bought a boat yesterday, called the Vashti, and we were looking up the book where the name came from." 'T'HE incident reveals the rich quality of that story in the Eible, called the Book of Esther. To get the full effect of the liter fry and spiritual quality, and the Vlriking contrasts, the Book must be read as a whole. The story is eastern and ancient in its setting and in some of its details, but very understandable ! should say the darkness of the persecution and destruction of Jewish people in our own time. Back in the days of King Aha- suerus, a Hiuer-iiKe courtier named Haman sought to destroy the Jews by assuring the king that there were in his realm people who were disloyal. He did not name them, but the king gave him blanket authority to destroy the supposedly disloyal elements. Here is where Esther comes in. Queen Vashti had displeased the king by disobeying his demand to display her beauty before his com panions. Esther was then chosen from many maidens to become the king's favorite. Her own father and mother were dead, and she had been adopted by an uncle who adjured her that she must not admit she was a Jewess or related to him. It was an act of great self-abnegation on his part. But now he ap pealed to Esther to save her peo ple. But Esther could gain access to the king only at the risk of her life. For his own protection the king had decreed that anyone found in the inner court without being called should be put to death. Esther took the risk, and the king saved her and her people, and Haman was hanged. It's all there in the book. Ha man is dead, and Hitler is dead. But the spirit of racial prejudice and hatred lives on, even in our own land.
