Show The Finding of Noah's Ark Recently we published a story which told of the finding of the ark. Much interest has been shown in the story and it has brought to light the following. While Mr. and Mrs. Dean McDonald Mc-Donald were missionaries in the California mission a radio broadcast broad-cast sponsored by the Seventh; Day Adventists under the "Voice of Prophecy" program broadcast the same story that was published, in the Cache American. The story created, likewise, interest among tile missionaries as well as other-teachers other-teachers of religion and it was used by them in their effort to prove the truthfulness of the bible history. An effort was made to get copies of the broadcast through a promise that listeners requesting it, would be furnished with copies of a magazine article of the same story. There was evidently some uncertainty un-certainty about the whole matter for some time later the broadcasting broad-casting company announced and printed the following broadcast and distributed it to those requesting request-ing it, a copy of which is held by the McDonalds. "The Ark Story "Some time ago we offered to send to our radio listeners a copy of a magazine article regarding the purported finding of the ark. We sent it to those who desired it for what it was worth. We now have word from Captain Ben F. Allen of the Deluge Geology Society So-ciety of Los Angeles, that the article arti-cle in question was largely a fabrication fab-rication of the writer of the article arti-cle based upon a very small amount of information given to him by Mr. Allen himself. "The information was simply that certain aviators and others in the Russian army just before the fall of the Czar, reported having hav-ing seen a structure which they thought might be the ark high on Mt. Ararat. As far as we can tell, all of the article aside from this appears to be the invention of the writer. Captain Allen is continuing con-tinuing his search for information regarding the discoveries said to have been made by Russian soldiers. sol-diers. "If any well authenticated reports re-ports come to us on this topic, we . will endeavor to inform our radio audience. "Sincerely, Voice of Prophecy." |
