Noted Archaeologist
Tells Graphic Story
Of Historic Jordan

New 'Book by Prof. Nelson
Glueck of HUC Printed
In English and Hebrew -

THE RIVER JORDAN. Illustrated
account of earth:s most storied rivet.
By Nelson Glueck. Philadelphia: The
Jewish Publication Society of Ameri-
ca and Westminster Press, 1946.

The hero of modern scholar-
ly research is the archeologist,
and few archeologists have

DR. NELSON GLUECK

achieved more than Prof, Nel-
son Glueck of the Hebrew
Union College of Cincinnati, who
for the last few years has been
head of the American School of
Oriental Research in Jerusalem.
In recent years he has given
us a graphic shipbuilding center
in Ezion Geber. He has also told
the story of Trarisjordan, home
in Bible times of several tribes
of Israel as well as of the Am-
monites and Moabites.
Like so many of the rivers
famed in song and story, the
Jordan is by our standards a
small and narrow stream. It is
important, however because of
the history that surrounded it.
Patriarchs and prophets wander-
ed along its banks; Moses looked
across it to the Promised Land;
the armies of every nation fam-
ous in antiquity crossed it; and
now electric power it produces
is helping in the rebuilding and
the modernizationof the country.
Dr. Glueck gives us glimpses into
modern Arab life along the river,
but his main interest is in the
ancient landmarks, from pre-
Bible days to the Mohammedan
era.
As he makes his way from
north to south along the river,
Dr. Glueck stops at every spot
of interest whether to Christian,
Mohammedan or Jew and des-
cribes the event which happened
there, frequently recalling the
words in which that event is
described in one or another of
the -holy books.
One hundred and thirteen
pages of • marvelous photographs
add xmaterially to the beauty of
the book and to the reader's ap-
pretiation of its contents. No
wonder that long before the
book was published in America
it was being prepared for pub-
lication in Hebrew in Palestine.

HOUSTON, Tex. — When a
group of vandals last week dese-
crated the Glad Tidings Full Gos-
pel church in Houston and an-
other group of masked men
