Ingathering is a term peculiar to Seventh- day Adventists, and judging by the adjectives sometimes used with it, it is not always a popular word. Occasionally, even ministers, overburdened by goals, objectives, and multi- tudinous other problems, sigh as they see In- gathering time roll around again. A few church members shrug off the re- sponsibility as belonging to the minister, the church missionary secretary, and a certain few "talented" people who "do it every year." "It's not for me," they say. (To page 8)

Ingathering calls for a great variety of talents and offers rich rewards. HE booh of Hebrews differs from the 13 acknowl- edged Epistles of Paul by being written anony- • PART—1 mously. All of Paul's other letters begin with the personal name of the apostle, in Greek as in our Eng- lish versions, and. are generally accepted as being Authored by The Epistle to the Hebrews, however, 'nowhere identifies its author. Moreover, its literary style differs from that of-the other 13 Epistles to such a marked degree that scholars have questioned whether it could have come, from the pen or the mind of Paul. These considerations pose a fascinating problem for Bible students. If Paul did not compose the letter, who did? e/ Whoever wrote it would need an ability and an authority as great as, or greater than, Paul's in order to produce a book of the caliber of Hebrews. In response to this challenge reputable scholars have advanced sug- gestions, each c f which merits study, although none can to tilt be given more than passing mention in our brief survey. A case has been set forth for authorship by.Paurs early, companion Rumbas - (Actti 37;' 1$:1-4); also for Luke ,the evangelist 'and beloved physician (Col. 4:14; 2 Tim. 4:11), for Aquila and Priscilla (Acts 18:1.3), and for Apollos (Acts 18:24-28). Some of these suggestions are attractive, but all are built on slender foundations tbrews and represent little more than attempts to find a candi- date besides Paul, whose claims are indisputably stronger than those for any of his competitors. These claims we shall now examine in some detail.

But since it'reflects persistent tradition that the great apostle was indeed the writer of the letter, it should be given some weight in any search for the authoi, Qf greater value is, the fact that the Eastern branch of the Christian Church, with its centers at Antioch, Caesarea, erusalem, and Alexandria, accepted the Pauline author- ship of the epistle by the middle of the second, century.

His mother was notorious for her promiscuous living; his father unknown. As the pastor expressed it, "This is a very difficult case, Dofia Carmen; but remember, sister, Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. Would you take him in?" This was the way Carlos came to the home of Dofia Carmen. During the first few days it seemed that his spiritual senses were deadened to the point that they would not revive. He was apparently in- sensible to all demonstrations of love; but he was intelligent. He learned to read, and as he read along with the other chil- dren in that home he began to take the correspondence course and to enjoy the programs heard weekly from the Voice of Prophecy in Spanish. Carlos began to be a different boy. Light dawned in his darkened little heart. His conversion was deep, and the change was unbelievable. Today he is a courteous, well-mannered, missionary boy. He helps Dam. Carmen in the var- ious small duties of the home, singing with a beautiful voice. "Carlos," we asked the other day, "what would you like to be in life?" "I want to be a singing evangelist" was his immediate and enthusiastic response. The firm look in his eyes made us realize that he is determined to reach this goal.

THE BIBLE STORY GAME by I. W. Young The Bible Story game is a delightful addition to the BIBLE STORY in 10 volumes by Arthur Maxwell. The game covers 20 subjects and stimulates a new interest in the volumes. Literature evangelists have discovered that the new Bible Story game has great appeal when presented with the 10-volume BIBLE STORY set and included as a part of the sale. Parents see readily that playing the game makes the reading of the books extremely desirable.

LARGE WILD ANIMALS OF THE WORLD by Harry Baerg Animals hold a great fascination for the aver- age child. Playing the new game, LARGE WILD ANIMALS OF THE WORLD, will be of great value to the boys and girls as it introduces them to the large animals and their places of habitation.

BIRDS OF THE WORLD by Joe Maniscalco

The study of bird life is greatly stimulated by the playing of this new game. Introduce your children to one of the wonders of creation, our feathered friends.
