Christological Factors
In Edith Hamilton Book
Report Lebanon Police
Holding Jewish 'Spy'
Edith Hamilton, student of
both the Old and New Testa-
ments, writes sympathetically
and with understanding about
"The Great Teachers of the Old
Testament" (as she sub-titles
her book) in her new W. W.
Norton & Co., "Spokesmen for
God" which includes the ma-
terial published in 1936 in her
work that then bore the title
"The Prophets of Israel."
In addition to the heroes of
the Pentateuch —especially
Moses—Miss Hamilton devotes
her book to the studies of Amos,
Hosea, the First , Isaiah, Jere-
miah, Ezekial, and other Israel
Prophets.
Admitting a lack of knowledge
of Hebrew, the author expresses
her "conviction that for the
English-speaking world the Bible
is the Bible in English."
Moses is described as a lead-
er who "wanted no special mark
of God's favor. He wanted noth-
ing for himself."
Further, in dealing with Amos
and the other Pi.ophets of Is-
rael, Miss Hamilton does not hue
to the subject but injects post-
0 1 d Testathent christological
ideas in her interpretations.
Thus, while a lack of knowledge
of Hebrew is understandable,
her failuie to adhere to her sub-
ject and personalities - as belong-
ing to the Old Testament period
relegates her book to a position
of partisanship. She would have
found Professor Moore's "Juda-,
ism" ' very helpful, in guiding
her to more unbiased approach-
es, but her deviations into chris-
tological thinking must leave the
Jewish reader more seriously
devoted to Moore, with lessen-
ing interest in Edith Hamilton.
TEL AVIV— (W.J.A.) — An
Arab. News Agency report al-
leges that a Jew named Samuel
Abadi has been arrested by
Lebanese police who "had found
on him documents proving his
connection with politicians in
Israel and particularly with the
Israeli Ministry of Supply." He
had "admitted that he had col-
lected money from Jews in
Lebanon" and that he had also
"assisted many Jews to escape
to Israel from Syria and Leb-
anon."
Interpretation
Some modern Jews seem to be
slightly confused about the hol-
idays, but Bridget, the Irish
maid, had it all down pat.
According Briget, this was the
Jewish system. Pesach is the
time when you can smoke in the
dining room and eat in the din-
ing room. Shabbes is the time
when you eat in the dining room
and smoke in the bath room and
Yom Kippur is the time when
you smoke and eat in the bath
room.

and chariots from Egypt.
Mimi Benzell, the 23 year old -
Bridgeport, Conn., girl who
made good at the Metropolitan
Opera, has the opera world in
a whirl . . . a grand opera so-
prano singing in night-clubs .. .
tsk, tsk. It just isn't possible .. .
but it is, and Mimi has folks
who never heard an operatic
aria before applauding.
Mimi's husband, artist man-
ager, George Gould told me this
amusing story about his charm-
ing wife.
The Goulds live at the Hotel
Pierre in New York. (It was at
this hotel that Mimi made her
debut singing in night clubs).
Mimi caught a cold—complete
with sniffles and a running nose
—just a few days before she was
scheduled to open her engage-
ment. That old saying, 'starve a
fever and feed a cold' seemed to
be what Mimi wanted to do . .
AU she could think of was food
. . . order she would from the
downstairs dining room . . . but
when it arrived Mimi had no
appetite for it . . . When the
food became cold she would or-
der more . . , By the time the
week was up the Gould's bill was
about even what Mimi's check
was to be for singing. "Although
the food went to waste," the
chic songstress added, "it didn't
go to my waist."
Mimi, like most prima donnas,
loves to cook and here is her
favorite bread stuffing for
chicken.
Take one slice of stale white
bread for each pound of chick-
en. Break the bread into small
pieces. In a heavy skillet place
enough olive oil to lightly cover
the bottom of the pan. Dice
onions and celery into it. Add
the bread. Cut up scallions into
the smallest pieces possible and
add to the above mixture. Sea-
son to taste with garlic salt,
onion salt, pepper, rosemary,
thyme, basil, dried mustard,
paprika and cook over a very
low flame. When the bread is
golden brown, remove from fire.
All ingredients have been stir-
red together, naturally, Add, if
you like, chopped almonds, pe-
cans or any kind of nut your
taste prefers, although nuts are
not essential. When the stuffing
is cool, fill the chicken with it.
I prefer the chicken roasted un-
covered in a 400-degree oven,
and basted every fifteen minutes
with a mixture of __white wine
and hot water until it's done
and the chicken tender.
