TheOldTestament,asiswellknown, isanarrativeofreligionfromthecreationuntilthecomingofJesusChrist. Allthedifferentbooks,ofwhichitis composed,possessasacredcharacter becausetheyaredivinelyinspiredand havethereforeGodastheirauthor.

Theultimateoriginofthe legendisprobablytohefoundinsome disastrousfloodinBabylon."These "learnedanddevouttheologians," thereforequestionthehistoricityof theBiblicalnarratives.TheCatholic ChurchhasalwaystaughtthattherecordsofbothTestamentsareauthentic andtrustworthyTheycontainintrinsicaswellasextrinsicevidencesof credibilityfarbeyondthoseofany secularhistory.AbovealltheycontainandconveyGod'smenwordand messagetomenTheVaticanCouncil issuedthefollowingdogmaticdecree onthesubject"TheLooksoftheOld andtheNewTestamentaretobereceivedassacredandcanonicalintheir integrity,withalltheirpartsasthey areenumeratedinthedecreeofthe saidcouncil(ofTrent)andarecontainedintheancientLatineditionof theVulgateThesetheChurchholds tobesacredandcanonical,.notbecausehavingbeencarefullycomposed byhumanindustry,theywereafterwardsapprovedbyherauthority,not merelyhccatisctht-sycontainrevelation,withnoadmixtureoferror, bemuse,hayingbeenwrittenbythe in,piraGinoftheHolyGhost,they haveGodfortheirauthor,andhave LeendeliveredassuchtotheChurch herself"

ThepurposeofHolyScripturewas toteachthosetruthstheknowledgeof whichisnecessaryfortheattainment ofeternalsalvation.Thesacredwritersmadeuseofthepopularlanguage aridideascurrentatthetime,andif incidentalreferencesaremadetomattersofnaturalsciences,itmustbe borneinmindthattheyhadnoidea toteachgeologyorastronomy.But atthesametimetoassertthatBiblical narrativeshavenohistorictruthand aboundinmythsand'folk-loreisto admitthatGodcouldpermitHisinstrumentstoconveyfalseinformation.Wecannotdismissthedescriptionofthe"Deluge"asamerelegend asthe"learnedanddevouttheologians"oftheAnglicanCommuniondo.

"IntheYearOne"

(ByRev.H.E.G.Rope,M.A.)

Oneofthecommonesttauntsofour day,Ibelieve,isthequestion:"Were youbornintheYearOne?"Itisa questionworthalittleattention,being asignandsymboloftheprevailing mindlessness.

Ifwepausetoconsiderforwhatthe YearOneistraditionallynoted--even iftherebeanactualerrorofavery fewyearsinthereckoning-itwill strikeusasstrangetosaytheleast, thatanyChristianshouldutterorreceivethewordasataunt.Adate fixeduponagesagoandobservedto thisdaybyallChristendom,andeven beyondChristendom,asthestartingpointoftheircalendarispresumably, fromanypointofview,ayearofsome distinction.

AndwhatChristiancandenythat theeventassignedtothatyearisthe supreme,theall-importanteventin history?Andyet,sorapidand brainlesshasconversationbecome, therearefoundmanyChristianswho lightlynamethisveryyearasthough itmarkedthenadirofignoranceand barbarism!Ratherdoesmodernconversationmarkthenadirofinconsequ-

Forthesamereasonthattheytalkof "Progress,"believeanyfrivolousbalderdashprintedinlargeheadlines, practisejungledancesandthe "music"(savethemark)ofpandemonium,and.cultivatethegarbofAphrodite."It'sthefashion.",(Buteven Aphroditeworeherhair,ifImistake not.)Truly,itisthefashion,but whatthen?Whomadefashionaruler andajudgeoverusChristians,and that,too,indirectoppositiontothe expressutterancesoftheVicarof Christ?

Hadnocondemnationbeenpassed byauthority,andhadthefashion beenformedunderChristianauspices, libertywouldbeinpossession.But theverycontraryisthecase.Priests havespoken,Bishopsinmanylands havedenounced,theHolySeehascondemned,andtherealdictatorsoffashionarenotloyalchildrenbutrather enemiesoftheChurchofGod.

Itwillbeobjected,doubtless,that incommonparlance"theYearOne" hasnoreligiousreferenceatall.This maybegranted,butthecaseisnot therebymended,forthedefenceinvolvesaseparationofordinarylife andspeechfromreligionthatshouldbe foraChristian,unthinkable.The wholeimportanceoftheYearOnederivesfromreligion,fromrevealedreligion,andfromthesuprememystery ofrevealedreligion,andthatalone shouldprotectitfromanyflippant mention.

TheChurch'scondemnationofthe historicsocialmovementthroughout thenineteenthcenturyhadbeenjustifiedbyevents.NominalSocialists werenowrepudiatingtheSocialism thatwentbyrevolutionandtheabolitionofprivateproperty.TheChurch condemnedCommunismbecauseitwas foundedontheprinciplesofclass-war.

Whatthepresent-dayLabourParty wasputtingforwardasSocialismwas notSocialism.Itdidnotmeritthat namebecauseitspolicydidnotsuffer materiallyfromthoseofotherparties.

TherealSocialismwaswhatweknew asCommunism.
