DEVOTIONAL READING: Hebrews 2:1-9. In Remembrance Lesson for January 9, 1949. JESUS OF NAZARETH was the Unforgettable Man. All our information about him as he lived in Galilee comes from four small

booklets known as the Gospels. There was a little more about him in the letters of Paul, and a few additional sayings of his have been preserved in papyrus fragments in Egypt. But the main source of our historical knowledge of Jesus is in

these four Gospels. All put together they do not make a big book; but any one of them by Itself is a gre t book. • • • Who Remembered Him? IT BOTHERS some people to dis- * cover what scholars have always known, that our Gospels as we have them are based on earlier writings and spoken traditions. But this gives us an even better reason for trusting the reliability of these records. They were not made up for the first time a generation or more after Jesus' resurrection. They go back to the lifetime of thousands who personally knew Jesus. The farther back scholars can trace the origins of the Gospels, the more historically reliable they are proved to be. Some of the information worked into our Gospels came from personal reminiscences; this is the case with large parts of Matthew and John. In the case of Mark, the early story in the church was that as a young companion of Peter on missionary Journeys, Mark Jotted down the stones which Peter told about Jesus. At any rate the Gospel of Mark contains Just the sort of things that a man like Peter would be likely to remember. Luke himself, a missionary doctor and great friend of Paul, never knew Jesus personally, but lived for two years in Palestine and gathered the materials for his Gospel while there were still hundreds of people there who remembered Jesus well. • • • What They Remembered JOHN tells us that it would be imposs.ble to write down all that was then known of Jesus’ life Out of the 400 days (at least) during which Jesus’ public ministry lasted, not over 40 are recorded, even in part. Yet what these men did recall and record is enough to reveal a matchless Person. A fi th Gospel might enlarge our knowledge of Jesus; but it would not greatly change it. Jesus never wrote a book, not even a tetter so far as we know; yet such words of his ns were remembered have influenced the world. Jesus' entire public ministry 1: sled a shorter time than it takes to go through college; yet what he did has had a deeper effect on th( world than the work of any vn'vcrsity graduate in history. Jcaus started no corporation, no formal organization; yet out of his fellowship have grown the greatest institutions in the world. • • • Why They Remembered THE STORY of Jesus was remembered and recorded by his followers partlv because they could not help it They could not forget him and did not want to forget him One thing is true of all those who lovingly cherished these memor.es of the Master: they loved and adored him No unbeliever ever wrote a Gospel. Pilate wrote no lift of 4hr .st Even if Juda* bad lived, he could not have written one Our Gospels were written by men of fa th, fur the purpose of calling out faith in others "These things were written that ye may believe that Jesas is the Son of God" tJohn 29: Ml ’ ' ’ tn oi.e sense ot the word we could write a better Gospel now fur today 19 centuries of Chruuar experience are behind us. and those centuries are full of the doings ol Christ through his church The four Gospels tell us oi what Jesui <t d in Galilee But now we can teli the story of what Christ has done in Africa and Greenland and Aus traba and America Reading the Goo; eb is interesting, it is Im portant. but the reading has noi hit I e bull's eye If it leave you ttu rex- «r. merely bettet informet that you were <C> ivtisX S» roe Imhsspoow Cwm, •4 a N«HW» CAwwim m Mali W « Prttf uo< d»otwio;o»m Ktlttui Si trap

Others at the store imagined a severe bucket shortage ;nust have been going on, and fought for the remaining ones. “I made sl3 in one minute that time," Mr. Knapp smiled. "To this day, nobody knows why the stranger was so eager to lay his hands on five milk buckets.” New Bantam Books a Farewell to arms by Ernest 'Hemingway; THE OTHER ROOM by Worth Tuttle Hedden; MISS DILLY SAYS NO by Thebiore Pratt; BITTER FORFEIT by Mabel Lbuise Robinson; ALL FOR THE LOVE OF A LAD’’ by Leslie Ford: LUCKY TO BE A YANKEE by Joe DiMaggio; HARD MONEY and RAIDERS OF THE RIMROCK by Luke Short.

hlbited the appearance of any of h.s •'nil-length' works in the popular edition format. The publishers of Bantam Books point out that the reprint edition of Hemingway's classic love story will reach close to half a million readers. — 000- - BEGINNING in February, the Teen Age Book Club will distribute titles published by Bantam Boots and New American Library as well as Pocket Books. Originally the Club was organized as a distribution outlet for Pocket Books, but since September of last y ear it has been cosponsored by Scholastic Magazine as a co-opera i.e trade .venture. A group cf educators, acting as judges, have allotted for Spring distribution ninfi Bantam Books, three New American Library titles, and seven Pocket Books. The first Bantam titles to be anI nounced are “Wild Animals 1 Have : Known.” by Ernest Thompson Sey- [ ton, and “Captains Courageous," by ! Rudyard Kipling.

Book Comment The publishers of 25-cent reprint books sold a record 135,000,000 copies in 1948, the most successful year in their history. lan Ballantine, president of Bantam Books, in a report covering the year's activities of the six major reprint publishers, reveals that the 1948 business was more than twice ■ as good as that in the former record year of 1945, when 66.000,000 books •were sold. Novelist Worth Tuttle Hedden's advice to young mothers who espire to be novelists is “don't write until your children are reared.” Mrs. Hedden speaks from personal experience. She wrate two successful novels, “The Other Room," and "Wives of High Pasture," while raising three children of her own. “I did it, but I think it was hard on my family,” she explains. "All the time I was writing we had a maid and I separated myself from the children too much.
