FOREWORD This, the first of a two-volume introduction to the Old Testament, is a response to the requests of brethren in many places who have been acquainted in one way or another with the author's efforts in the Old Testament field. This volume is offered in hope that faith in God and con­ fidence in his word will be strengthened in the hearts of many. This book is written, not for the scholar but for the stu­ dent of God's word-not for the indifferent but for those who sincerely seek the spiritual treasures that are found in the Old Testament. No pretense to superior scholarship is assumed ·by the author but an intensely practical approach to the Bible is taken. I have consciously adopted the posi­ tion that it is not to the worldly wise that understanding is given but to him who recognizes that it is in God that we live and move and have our being, and that through and upon this relationship we must come in a study of his word. It is the conviction of the author of this book that the Bible is an all-sufficient book-it can stand alone without any human aid; therefore all understanding of the book must come from within its covers. Science, philosophy, human wisdom; all must be laid at the door of Bible study and be made subservient to the word of God. It is in humility and contriteness of heart that we must come to God and his word if we will receive his blessings. Although works on the Old Testament are numerous, truly conservative books are not nearly so available and many of them are entirely too technical to be of value to one whose prior training has not acquainted him with such phrases and terms generally used in books of an intro­ ductory nature. This volume represents an attempt to treat the technical matters in popular style and language. A glossary is included to aid the reader in dealing with some terms which were necessary to use but with which many might not be familiar. An index is also added and it is hoped that the reader will avail himseH of it often. There was a temptation to deal more with the negative critics and write less from a positive view but I resisted this temptation as much as possible. Countless volumes could be written answering the individual charges of the critics but it seemed sufficient to observe primarily the principles upon which their charges rest. If their basic premises are false, their conclusions based upon those premises must also be false. Material common to both general and special introduction is included in order that the Bible teacher and student alike might be encouraged to obtain more background material relative to a fuller appreciation and understanding of the text itseH. The bibliography contains many out-of-print books that have proved very helpful to this author. Books of a later date have been used extensively but this author does not subscribe to the fallacious theory that "modem scholars" are the only ones who can speak with authority. Truth can be found in antiquity as well as in the present hour. This writer occupies a position relative to the days of the creation of Genesis one that is the object of scorn and con­ tempt from many of those who aspire to "higher scholar­ ship" but he asks no consideration from any save a thorough investigation of all the available data regarding this posi­ tion. If it be the truth all hell can but assail it in vain. If the position is contrary to truth then it deserves oblivion at best. This author has confidence in the great fellowship of those who are in the Lord's church that a fair, impartial and complete study will lead them to accept the truth on this as well as any other position, for we esteem the truth above all else. A work of this type places its author deeply in debt to many people. Many ideas have been born while listening to a lecture or a sermon or while reading a book. For the inspiration of these I have ever been grateful but as time blends and ideas are fused it becomes impossible to give credit to whom credit is due for such. However, in this effort I must give special credit to two of my former Bible teachers at Freed-Hardeman College who now rest on the other side of life after a life of outstanding service here; H. A. Dixon and Frank Van Dyke. There are also three princely preachers who still labor in the kingdom whose sermons and lectures have provided me with many fresh insights into the Bible and who, unknowingly, have given me the key to many a closed scripture: Gus Nichols of Jasper, Alabama; Franklin Camp of Birmingham, Alabama; and Guy N. Woods of Memphis, Tennessee. These men deal with great, eternal themes much of the time and their sermons reflect their rich scholarship. May the Lord raise up many more like them, to his glory. Invaluable service in the reading of the manuscripts was rendered by Dr. James McGill, of Freed-Hardeman col­ lege; a faithful preacher of the gospel and a diligent stu­ dent of the word. His patient work with this neophyte writer is deeply appreciated and his suggestions were most helpful. Without the efficient and faithful secretarial serv­ ice of Miss Judy Barlow, the material would never have left the dictaphone however. Her patience during the diffi­ cult moments encouraged the author at many discouraging points. To all of these and a host of others whose infiuence may be seen in my life and my works, I express my profound gratitude and trust that our fusion of energy will abound to the glory of God and his kingdom.

However, this attitude which seems to delight in finding fault for the sake of finding should not shake our faith in the right. Each generation has had to face problems which seemed to assume a new form but in reality had the same old substance of infidelity, shrouded in different color cloth perhaps, but was nonetheless the same old man of sin. It is only. when a generation cuts itself off from all of the learn­ ing of the past and desires to launch out solely upon its own wisdom that it finds itself in serious difficulty. To believe that the only truly great scholar is the one who now lives; that the past wisdom and experiences of man is wholly unnecessary in solving the day to day problems is the height of vanity and self-delusion. Yet, respecting the Bible and spiritual matters, there are many religious leaders today who assume the position that men like William Henry Green, John William McGarvey, Robert Dick Wilson and a host of other greats who combated negative, destructive criticism in their generation in such a magnificent way have no value in our studies today.

  • 40 Years of American Film Comedy to Be Shown
    40n8 - 4?' THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART tl WEST 53RD STREET, NEW YORK •fgLEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FORTY YEARS OF AMERICAN FIM COMEDY FROM FLORA FINCH AND JOHN BUNNY TO CHAPLIN, FIELDS, BENCHLEY AND THE MARX BROTHERS TO BE SHOWN AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART That movies are the proper study of mankind has been estab­ lished at the Museum of Modern Art, where eight comprehensive series and four smaller groups of the outstanding films through which the great popular art of the cinema has evolved since 1895, have already been shown to Museum visitors. The Museum now announces a new series of fifteen programs in the art of the motion picture under the general title: Forty Years of American Film Comedy, Part i; Beginning Thursday, August 1, the series will be presented dally at 4 P.M. and on Sundays at 3 P.M. and 4 P.M. in the Museum1s auditorium at 11 West 53 Street. Instruction will thus be provided from the screen by Professors Mack Sennett, Frank Capra, W. C. Fields, Harpo and Groucho Marx, Robert Benchley and Charlie Chaplin in a new appraisal of screen comedy reviewed in the light of history. "It is very evident," states Iris Barry, Curator of the Museum's Film Library, "that the great farce-comedies, as well as the cowboy and gangster films, rank among this country1s most original contributions to the screen. We are grateful indeed to the film industry for cooperating with the Museum in providing this unique opportunity for tracing screen comedy to its sources in this group of classics now restored to view for the amateurs of the twentieth century's liveliest art.

  • Mabel Normand
    Mabel Normand Also Known As: Mabel Fortescue Lived: November 9, 1892 - February 23, 1930 Worked as: co-director, comedienne, director, film actress, producer, scenario writer Worked In: United States by Simon Joyce, Jennifer Putzi Mabel Normand starred in at least one hundred and sixty-seven film shorts and twenty-three full- length features, mainly for Mack Sennett’s Keystone Film Company, and was one of the earliest silent actors to function as her own director. She was also one of the first leading performers to appear on film without a previous background in the theatre (having begun her career in modeling), to be named in the title of her films (beginning with 1912’s Mabel’s Lovers), and to have her own studio (the ill-fated Mabel Normand Feature Film Company). That her contributions to early film history are not better known is attributable in part to her involvement in the Hollywood scandals of the 1920s, and in part to our reliance on the self-interested memoirs of her better-known colleagues (especially Sennett and Charlie Chaplin) following her death at age thirty-eight. It is hard to get an accurate picture from such questionable and contradictory recollections, or from interviews with Normand herself, filtered as they often were through a sophisticated publicity operation at Keystone. Film scholars who have worked with these same sources have often proved just as discrepant and unreliable, especially in their accounts of her directorial contributions. Normand’s early career included stints at the Biograph Company, working with D. W. Griffith, and at the Vitagraph Company, yet it was her work at Keystone that solidified her image as slapstick comedienne.

  • Morning Movie Matinees for Children During Christmas Holidays
    411211 ~ 92 THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 11 WEST 53RD STREET, NEW YORK TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART TO HOLD MORNING MOVIE MATINEES FOR CHILDREN DURING CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS Morning movie matinees for children will be given by the Museum of Modern Art Film Library at ten-thirty every day except Sundays, Christmas and New Year's Day in the auditorium of the Museum, 11 West 53 Street, from Saturday, December 20, through Saturday, January 3. Admission to the movies is included in the admission to the Museum, which is ten cents for children up to the age of sixteen, plus one-cent tax. Members' children will be admitted to the movies free if accompanied by a parent. Holidays are traditionally a time when children ask to go to the movies—and at Christmas the answer is always yes. The Film Library has this year selected from its current Cycle of 300 Films, tracing the history of the motion pictures, films which children at one time liked and continue to like. The programs thus represent the taste of children themselves rather than, as in the case of most "specially arranged" juvenile programs, the tastes or principles of adults. There will be five programs, each composed of several films and each shown twice on identical days during the two weeks' period, i.e., Program I will be shown Saturday, December 20, and Saturday, December 27, Program II will be shown on Monday, December 22, and Monday, December 29. There will be one additional program, to be given only one showing, on the last Saturday of the series, January 3.
