Please keep the music silent during questions and answers.

Not in Bible
Sirs:
Touching your radio question, "How did Judith, the Biblical character, murder the General Holofernes ?"—Judith and Holofernes are not in the Bible.
W. B. SIMPSON
Huntingdon, Pa.
When King Nebuchadrezzar of Assyria sent Generalissimo Holofernes against the Israelites, the "beautiful and pious widow" Judith, stole to his tent from the Israelitish camp and engaged Holofernes for 96 consecutive hours in a bout of drinking and pleasure. Generalissimo Holofernes dropped off to sleep at last, whereupon hardy Judith cut off his head. The Book of Judith is in the Apocrypha of the Old Testament (King James version); in the Old Testament itself (Roman Catholic version). —ED.
