(Continued From Page One)
After one haa read Hendrick
Van Loon’s “Story of the Bible,’
tho hply Book itself can be read
with a great deal more interest
and understanding, is the opinion
.of an Athena educator who f» a
pillar in the church In which he I*
a member, it has been brought to
the attention of this reviewer. And
gieu (
I subscribe to his belief .Mr. Van
Icon's new book certainly does
throw a great deal of light on tho
Holy Scriptures,
As the name of the work ex-
plr«'n8, the book attempts tp be
nothing more thin a simple, nar
rative account of the Bible, carried
out on a chionological basts of tho
happenings so fas as it Is possi
ble. The author makes no attempt
to explain anw of the mysteries at
tached to the Bible, neither docs
he try to over-state. over-esVmate,
cr discount any of the stories con
tained in the Book. He simply
fells the story, starting with Gene
sis and going through Revelations
The first chapter of the book?
however, goes a little to the aide
and around Genesis—he tells
something about who the Jews
were, their customs, etc., and then
proceeds with the story of the
Bible itself.
r. Van Loon, it will be remem
bered; won for himself a grea
deal of success and praise w.'th
his “Story of .Mankind,” which to
in a way similar to H. O. Wells*
“Outline of History.” It seems safe
to predict that bis “Story,-of the
Bible” may likewise be almost es
successful for -him. It la the kind
of book that everyone likes to raid.

HY waste time in useless “shopping around” when tlje
every progressive merchant in town?
Why use needless effort in an endless store-to-store quest when
the advertisements enable you to make your choice of the finest
merchandise without even leaving your home?
Why pay more than you ought when you can stretch your
dollar to the elastic limit by taking advantage of the bargains'
and good buys that are daily advertised in this paper?
Why risk dissatisfaction by buying unknown, unbranded,
