A According to the Bible it must have ave been about 1000 years before the coming of the Savior when those walls fell down This exploration by bythe bythe bythe the spade and nd the pick shows that Lose ose walls have been standing there intact for years Hence the account in the good book book- bookin in the light o of this evidence reads read a little like the account which was published here some some years ago of how a distinguished distin older elder in the Mormon 1 church and a layman tried to cross the tho Colorado in a boat The boat upset the layman was drowned while the elder by the holy spirit walked ashore It was Vas taken as gospel truth the only comment being why did not the elder pick up the boatman anc and pack him ashore That was answered red by the theother theother theother other statement that the layman had not the holy spirit upon tipon him and hence was bound to sink while the holy elder being supported even as were the arms of Horatio by the Tiber came out p perfectly per pr- r- r safe and almost dry True the story was disputed by another who was looking on who saw the boat capsize saw saw the layman sink because he he- could not swim and saw the elder because he lie could swim by a hard pull pul reach the tho bank No Now v there is no child that ever read that story how just by the blowing of a horn the walls of Jericho fell down that has not wished for that horn ever since and it is isa a shame to put that illusion illusion illusion sion to flight because it was one of the things that all boys counted on to s sometime get a horn before I which no walls could stand By the way we have seen several boys that to all appearances es could almost do it We Ve have seen several thousand try it and it is just as much the ambition of a youth to 40 o blow a horn as it is for him to practice his whistle when he first finds he lie has got one |
