The Herald of Everett reported, “They were identified through our investigation, and they decided to turn themselves in,” City Admin istrator Kristin Banfield told the newspaper. "I’m hoping their conscience got the best of them.” A relative of the boys brought them to the Arling ton police station about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, hours before a candlelight vigil and march in dovmtown Arhng- ton that the community organized in response to the crime, she said. Jason Martin, the 38-year- old pastor of a Pentecostal congregation in nearby Marysville, woke up early Wednesday to find firefight ers dousing a 3-foot-by-5-foot cross on his front lawn. Police and FBI agents said they had received several dozen leads, many pointing to teens known for their racist views. Hundreds of people joined the student-organized march and rally on Satur day, Many carried signs that bore a single word - “accep tance” - and were made .by eighth-grade art students at Post Middle School, where the march began. “We just didn’t think this happens anymore,” said marcher Kari Fiorillo, 36, who wept as she described the incident’s impact on the community. During the march he led a group of students who car ried a banner quoting the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” “I’m overwhelmed. It’s very humbling,” he said as those marching around him chant ed, “Community for unity.” The pastor and sons Jacob, 14, and Jyshaun, 17, sang “I Forgive Them” and dedicated it to the perpetrators. “Sometimes it takes diffi cult things to bring change,” Martin told the crowd. “There’s no way I could be standing if it weren’t for your prayers and your support.” One of the eighth-graders who organized the march, Micheal Keating, 14, rallied the crowd by saying, “We Was Exodus real or legend? Continued from page 8B And wandering Israelites would have left few if any remains behind in Sinai. Skeptics should "cease demanding evidence that cannot exist,” Kitchen con tends. Kitchen also explores con siderable circumstantial evi dence from outside the Bible. For instance, he analyzes 80 treaties, law codes and covenants from ancient times that show significant varia tions among different epochs, and argues that the Law of Moses fits the structure of MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH 'di I I, ILXH, biCOiVU 1600 Norris Avenue • Charlotte, NC 28206 For Information Call, 704-375-9650 Website: stlukembc.org Pastor, Rev.

He also says the writer of such material would have needed the kind of knowledge someone raised in the court of Egypt would have received. In other words, someone just like Moses (whose name, everyone agrees, was Egypt ian). Though liberals say the portable tabernacle used for wilderness worship couldn’t have existed that early on. Kitchen cites similar struc tures from before the Exo dus. Another issue is the Bible’s report that “about 600,000 men” (Exodus 12:37) and their families left Egypt, thought to be too many to survive wilderness travels. Both Kitchen and Tigay say the Hebrew word translated “thousand” also means "family” or "squad” else where in the Bible, so there could have been 20,000 Israelites.

Last year, he said, a student at Arlington High School threatened to "blow up” the family’s house. On Thursday, he said, his oldest son told him a student said "if they’d known a cross was burning, they’d have added a noose.” Arlington’s population is 90 percent white, with blacks accounting for less than 2 percent — 132 — of the city’s 11,713 residents, according to the 2000 cen sus. Police Chief John Gray and Mayor Margaret Larson, a lifelong resident, said they could not recall a similar crime occurring in the city. “nHjEr Producing Kingdom Citizens through Evangelism Discipk’ship.
