images.
Only the Jews excepted themselves
from this work. Firstly. for the well-
known negative reason that it might
h.ad to the violation of that severe
prohibition against the transmutation
la( the Divine into earthliness; and
I also for the positive reason that the
word of the Bible was not only fa-
miliar to them, but was vividly their
life itself, requiring no intensification
in images.
This constant re-living of the Bible
by the Jews, however, disappeared
proportionately as the knowledge of it
decreased; and after less than 100
years of secularitation of Jewry, we
must confess that the Book of Books
lives less vividly within us than in
the masses of the Gentile nations. And
now the vast treasure which Chris-
tianity possesses, its illustrated adap-
tations of the Bible. appears in con-
trast to our own poverty. And the
reproaoh attached to this condition
lies in the fact that the little Bible
knowledge which still prevails among
our "eclat ated" people, consists mere-
ly of ■ familiarity with Hinge monu-

Abel Pann is no stranger to Ameri-

the beginnings of his creativeness
