WEEKLY BIBLE COMMENT Bible Is Source of Many Biographies BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. ''THE proper study of mankind i is man," wrote the poet Pope. And there are no finer or more adequate sources of material fr that study than are to be found in the 66 books that we call the Bible. I The late President Thwing, of Cleveland's Western Reserve Uni versity, made a specialty of col lecting books of biography. He once told me that he had 17,000 ! volumes, of which the greater part jW-ere biographies.. One can imag ine what vast sources of incident, anecdote and illustration could be ; found in that immense array of books. But though such a collection of biographies might offer great va riety and detail, I venture to be lieve that it would offer no basic facts concerning human life and : character that do net somewhere find their most pointed exempli fication in the Bible. THERE we find msn in his ; heights of goodness, and in his ; depths of evil. There are tragedies l of sorrow, disaster and failure, in ! contrast with experiences of ! ecstatic joy and sublime feeling i There are literary skills that not . even Shakespeare has surpassed. and practical philosophies of liv ' ing that reveal wisdom. 1 If there is a lack, it is in the realm of science. And that is not amazing, for science, if it has not ; changed its face in the last 100 nOLY ROSARY CHURCH Rev. Edward C.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY Sixth Street & 2nd Avenue Church Service 11:00 a.m. "Are Sin, Disease, and Death Real?" is the subject of the Lesson-Serrron which will be read in Christian Science Churches throughout the world on Sunday, October 10, 1948. The Golden Text is: "O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me" (Psalms 30:2). Other Bible citations in clude, "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope tnou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God" (Psalms 42-11). The Lesson-Sermon also in cludes the following passage from the Christian Science text- ENJOY AUTOMATIC HEAT wwi- FUEL SAVINGS! lift Cll BUiNEBS (D Li Lb n Install the heat that can't be beat - Timken Silent Automatic Oil Heat!

But the Bible reflects the science of theH time. The Bible Is a book of prophets. priests and kings. Chapter 11 of Hebrews records the lives and do ings of Israel's great, both men and women. It is a noble chapter. What nation or people could re cord anything better? And in the history that it summarizes, as in the New Testament itself, are the almost full-length biographies of great individuals Abraham, Moses, Samuel, Saul, David, Solo mon, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Paul, Peter, and many more. But the Bible is also the book of the common man. The most interesting, significant and vital things concern incidents in the lives of the lowly, sometimes named, sometimes unnamed, who played their part or who exempli fied some nobility of character and action. I like to think of Elkanah, father of Samuel, the ideal lover and husband of Hannah (I Samuel 1:8) as typical of many who are named. Typical of many is the unnamed hero, who "drew a bow at a ven ture" (I Kings 22:34) and sent the arrow that killed a king, put his army into confusion, and de cided a battle. What a book! "God's book for man's life," but also the wonderful book of the lives cf men. book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Bakpr Kddv "All rpnlitv is in God and His creation, harmon-1 ious and eternal. That which He creates is good, and He makes all that is made. Therefore the only reality of sin, sickness, or death is the awful fact that un realities seem real to human, er ring belief, until God strips off their disguise. They are not true, because they are not of God"' (p. 472). CIIRIST EVANGELICAL AND LUTHERAN CHURCH On Plattsmouth-Louisvllle Road ' Dr. A. Lentz.
