These letters are the forgotten parts of the New Testament, for many people. Out of the 27 "books” of the New Testament. all but five are letters.

>wH| **** fl

These nine— from Hebrews to Revelation inclusive—make up about 50 pages or one- , sixth of the whole Testament. It j would be worth 1 the reader’s while to make a special study of these let-

ters this summer. Dr - Foreman Perhaps all the teachers in a Sunday school could chip in and buy a commentary or two. Lettsrs from... No two people write quite alike. All letters bear the mark of their writers even when they are unsigned. So it is with these nine. | Some pt them are signed, some are not. But the writers can be ' told apart without any trouble. If Hebrews and James were printed together without a break, a high school student should be able to notice the difterenr' between them. The writer first letter is plainly a highly educated man, a man who is keenly interested in ritual and in the history of the I Hebrew people. The writer of the second is less highly educated, but a more practical man all around. Not that his advice is any better, but he loses no time getting down to particular problems. The first man is greatly interested in theology, the second is so little interested in it that his letter has worried some people like Luther, for example, who wondered whether it really belonged in the New Testamept. Or again, comparing Hei brews with the letters of Paul, the - reader can see why scholars are for the most part quite certain that Patil never wrote this one. I' Is obviouslF written by a different kind of man—one who used a different vocabulary, went at problems differently, constructed a letter differently, quoted the Old Testament in a different way; indeed while all of Paul’s letters are carefully signed, Hebrews is not signed at alt . ■ . So one may go through the rest of these letters seeing the • writers through what they wrote. Letters t 0... Letters vary a’ccording to the persons to whom they are written. A woman writing to her mother, -her husband, the tax collector and her boy at school will write four different kinds of letters. So these nine letters were *w rittcn to different kinds of people. To be sure, some of them were sent to a pretty wide circle of readers (Peter for instance), but even so, that wide circle had something in common: in this case, suffering and persecution. Is It too much to suggest that the Christians John has in his njind’s eye as he writes his letters are mnich more mature than the Christians to whom James writes his plain advice? Now the interesting thing is that the various kinds of Christians to whom these letters were addressed are matched by Christian types today. That is why one Christian will sometimes get more out of one part of the New Testament, while another Christian finds more meat in another part. And yet for all the differences there are some important likenesses, and the noticing reader will find them. Letters about... Few if any of these letters, ot 1 any others in the New Testament, are about "things in general.” They usually speak to some particular problem, situation or trouble. The New Testament does not consist of a series of theological essays neatly arranged by topics. Rather, it consists of fairly short letters speaking to certain specific problems that had been distressing the readers. Some of these problems emerged in more places than one at the same time, just as happens today. In the short passages selected for special study in most quarterlies, two problems are highlighted, as the reader will find: false teachings, and persecution. In these times in which we live, with half the world in a ferment against Christianity, and even in the “Christian” part of the world a bewildering jangle and wrangle of sects and “isms" soap-boxing all over the place—the Christian church threatened by enemies without and "crackpots” oftentimes within, who can call the New Testament's themes out of appropriated to financ* repairs to the buildings of the Dfceatqr school system. A hearing on the request was conducted June 19.

The Importance Os Church Attendance Rev. J. R. Meadows Church attendance is not the chief duty of a Christian, but it is an important duty. It is vital to the existence and work of the church. The church puts over its great uiovementsheeanse men and women attend church, not because some fail to attend. Church attendance may not be the end, but it is a most vital means to the end. ' Non-church members are not attracted to the church by those members who do not attend its services. A man who does not patronize
