PAGE FOUR THE FRANKLIN PRESS m4 1HI HIGHLANDS MACON LAN THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1135 Li Brace Barton STORY OF THE BIBLE AS these chapters have appear ed in serial form, a surgeon of national reputation sent this re quest : "Before you finish your story of The Book, please be sure to give us the answer to these two questions : "1. How were the books of the Bible gathered into a collection and dis tinguished as a group by them selves f Who se lected them and how do we know that the right ones were selected? "2. By what means were these; chosen books preserved and handed down? Who decided that they ought to be translated into modern languages and who did the translating?" Let us deal first with the Old Testament. It would be very pleas ant if we could say that some one Kroup of men, meeting in Jerusa lem about 400 B. C, selected the books which we now have and cer tified for all time that these and no others should be the Old Testa ment. But such is not the case. As the writing of these books was an evolution, so was their selec tion. Largely, they have been pre served to us by the process known as the survival of the fittest. The ancient Hebrews: held many of their books in high regard, of which nearly thirty are referred to in the OH Testament. Twenty-four of these are sunk beyond ail knowl edge. The story about the sun standing still for Joshua is quoted from an old book of war songs known as the Book of Jasher or the Book of .the Just (Joshua 10:13). David's "Song of the Bow" (II Samuel 1:18) is from the same book, but except for these frag ments the Book of the Just has perished. So also has another old song book, The Book of the Wars of the Lord, of which we have a fragment in the twenty-first chapter of Numbers, fourteenth verse. The books of Kings are largely compiled from more extended rec ords, which sometimes are referred to by name. This is not the book of Chronicles that we have, which was written long after the book of Kings. We see, then, that the Old Testa ment is the surviviing portion of a much larger number of books. It does not comprise sacred as op posed to secular books, but is the whole body Of ancient Hebrew liter ature now extant. Philo, an Alex andrian Jew who lived in the sec ond century before the Christian era, gives a list of books nearly identical with those we have but omits seventeen that are in our list. Jesus, thev son of Sirach, closely parallels our list but does not stop with it. He recognizes the work of a contemporary, Simon, as worthy to be included and, what is rather remarkable, he thinks his own book good enough to be a part of the Bible.

Jll-otc A15 THE FAMILY DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH CA MPS M n "ACIDOSIS" Oh, yes, "acidosis!" I had al most forgotten it. More people, I will venture to say, have entered doctors' offices for treatment for "acidosis" than for any other sel dom encountered thing; because there are very few cases of real acidosis. People somehow get to imagin ing that acid gets to circulating through every channel of their blessed bodies, and they besiege the poor doctors to cure "acidosis." Let us hope that the doctor does not become bewildered for he is but human and shove them into the open arms of the food faddist, of which there are hundreds of thousands. I pity the poor creature who imagines she has acidosis and keeps up a trot between the soda-jar and the predigested nostrum. Listen: an intense acidity, which amounts to acidosis, is only found in serious disease such as cancer of some hollow viscus, for instance the stomach or urinary bladder. I have had 'forty-three years of ex perience, and I have seen no true acidosis except in cases of cancer of the stomach, intestine or urinary bladder; so, my cases of "acidosis" have been comparatively few. The way to do go to your fam ily doctor; do not make your own diagnosis, and thus save yourself much unnecessary worrying. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as executor of John L.
