The Dead Sea Scrolls
BY G. C. BARNHILL
Here in Jerusalem is one of
the world’s most interesting mu
seums and was built with money
from the Rockefeller Foundation
that great American, who with
all this wealth realized that the
major part of it should be given
to institutions, whose existance
would be a blessing to mankind.
He was dedicated to the rearing
of his family as best he under
stood the plan, in daily devotion
with family altar during much
of his life. Then it is rib wonder,
that with the archeologist dig
ging around in old Palistine, that
he would build a great building,
for the preserving of the many
valuable things found, that
prove the authenticity of our
scripture writings.
In 1947 a Bedouin boy named
Mauhammed the Wolf was look
ing after some goats, that were
being taken to the market in
Bethlehem and in order to dodge
the custom officers they had
by passed the Jordon River
bridge, then making their way
down the western shore of the
Dead Sea. Because of shortage of
water, the group with the goats
had gone to the spring, Ain Fesh
kha which is the only place of
water for many miles in this very
barren and desolate country.
While camped here, one of the
goats strayed off and this boy
climbing around, found the open
ing of the cave, threw' a rock in
side and heard something break,
going back to the camp he secured
others and on entering the cave,
found this broken jar and others,
with rolls of writings covered
with some sticky substance.
Taking them to Bethlehem,
then with much confusion, the

world was informed that these
writings, were parallel writings
during and before the time of
Christ, by a group called The
Essene Order. When I found that
I could enter the Middle East and
visit Jerusalem, this was ' listed
as one of the musts. I wanted
to see these scrolls that had been
preserved, by a people that had
long ago perished who had care
fully hidden them in the caves,
as invading' armies came with
their destruction. One of the
first things I asked the guide,
where are they? We went to a
section where the empty jars
were, then after touring the
building, with the first of civili
zation’s historic relics, that is
worth the trip to see, we are giv
en over to another museum guard.
With a large key in his arm, in
English, he said, “I will now take
you to the Holy of Holies”. Pas
sing the two locked doors, which
were carefully locked behind us,
then another and before my eyes,
there lay under glass, row on
row of tables containing the very
original writings in Hebrew, that
recorded much of the here-to-fore
unknown writings and may have
great effect on our thinking in
the days to come by people called
Christians. I wanted to touch a
piece of the scroll, this I was
permitted to do. Can you feel
with me the touch of the long
distant past of over 2,000 years
for part of the writings ?
There in one section sat two
scholars in ancient writings with
magnifying equipment, with
chemicals, with velvet instru
ments of touch, lest one letter or
sign be lost and for the next
twenty years, they and others
will toil and toil that the world
can learn more about Christ, the
prophets of old and such men as
Josephus, Pliny, Philo and others.

BAKE SALLY LUNN - SWEET BREAD BELLE
Sally Lunn is a real Southern heroine; one who gives competition to
Rebel Rose or Scarlet O’Hara! In fact, she’s so delicious that she waltzes
back and forth across the Mason Dixon Line all the time, with no ques
tions asked. A sweet rich yeast-raised bread, it was first introduced by a
lady of the same name in Bath, England during the 18th century. There
the loaf is traditionally split, spread with butter and then returned to the
oven for a last minute toasting. In America we bake it in a square pan
and cut it into squares.
SALLY LUNN
I cup milk
!4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
14 cup margarine or butter
Scald milk. Stir in sugar, salt and margarine or butter. Cool to lukewarm.
Measure water into a large mixing bowl (warm, not hot, water for active
dry yeast; lukewarm water for compressed yeast). Sprinkle or crumble in
yeast; stir until dissolved. Add lukewarm milk mixture. Stir in eggs and
flour. Beat until smooth. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place,
free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 50 minutes. Stir down and
pour into a well-greased pan (8 x 11 x 2 inches). Cover and let rise in a
warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
If an extra dark crust is desired, sprinkle 14 cup sugar over top. Bake at
400 degrees about 30 minutes. Remove from pan and cut into squares.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1957
It’s easy to tell when your hus
band isn’t feeling well. One look
at Bill’s eves and I know if he’3
caught a 'cold. This morning I
saw the signal. “Better have a
double orange juice,” I told him.
“Looks like you’ve got a case of
summer sniffles!”
"Small wonder I don’t have
pneumonia,” he mumbled. “It was
summer when I went to bed and
winter when I woke up. Wind
must have shifted.”
“What you need is a built-in
thermostat,” I replied, “or an air
conditioned bedroom.”
To my surprise, Bill said he’d
been thinking
across the hall says he has an
RCA Whirlpool room air condi
tioner and it does have a built-in
thermostat. You just set the tem
perature you want and the air
conditioner automatically adjusts
to sudden drops and rises out
doors." ’• '
“I sort of hate to fill up a
window with an air conditioner,
though,” I mused- ‘‘They’re not
exactly beautiful.”
“This one is really good look
ing,” Bill insisted, “and it’s only
16% inches high, so it wouldn’t
fill up the window at all. It’s
thin enough to be mounted flush
with the inside wall witn hardly
any overhang outside.” a
What really sold me was the
electronic filter Bill described. He
said it catches dust and soot par
ticles as tiny as 1/25,000th of an
inch in diameter. Practically does
away with dusting! What more
can a housewife ask ?.
