BIBLE KNOWLEDGE
§$ir,-Thé suggestion is made by your correspondent H.C.D. that more ques‘tions relating to the Bible should be included in the various quizes broadcast, "if for no other reason than to stimulate interest in that greatest of all books." Is it too much to ask that an inspired book should enthuse one with such interest? But what are the facts? Those who reach maturity without a knowledge of the Bible find it difficult to make much sense out of it when they settle down to read it. Don’t conclude that I am opposed to such. quizes. They will prove helpful to truth-seekers and to keep the ball rolling I would suggest the following question as the natural corollary of the*one quoted: "Who wrote the first five books of the Old Testament?" I am puzzling over the number of noughts which will follow the princely £2 comprising the Jackpot alluded to, if the prize is ever claimed. In closing, congratulations to "Whim Wham" on his worthy effort, "Alien Ways." The resolution of the R.S.A. constitutes but a new version of antiSemitism. and can onlv help to discredit
their organisation.
