Mr. Mount is not a theologian, but he has made a penetrating study of this subject from the Bible, and pro ceeds upon the theory that no inter pretation of the tabernacle can pro ceed correctly without a correct con ception of its construction. He differs from most people in the way they have visualized the hangings and the coverings. His is a tent-shaped top, with flaps extending outward, and pegged, much like the sides, of a regular tent. This leaves a space be side the boards that is protected from the weather. Here he believes the boy Samuel slept. Postage stamps of the State of Is rael are studied by the author and he finds a number of interesting things in them indicative of Biblical truth. We can expect more from, his pen along this line in the future. The Zodiac set and, the lampstand stamp are pictured in the second vol ume. He holds the Zodiac was God’s first revelation ( “Let there be lights in the firmament . . . and let them be for signs*” Gen. 1:24). This reve lation he believes was corrupted by astrologers. The reader will find these works most fascinating and enlight ening, even though he may not ac cept every interpretation. 93 and 57 pages; paper; the author, Mansfield, Ohio; $5.00 for the two, plus a chil dren’s version of the former.
