It is appreciated that the
efforts of many individuals in
this matter are in many eases
full of genuine concern for the

is that the stand taken by
Jehovah's 'Witnesses in the mai-
ler nf leaving a blood transfusion
Is dictate' by 'their own con.
seience which in turn is guided
by the principles found in the
l3ihte
while it is obvious that the use
of blond transfusions in many
instannes pan save a life, it is
nnty fair t'n say that this is not
always the case as the following
aeenur's chow:
On July 0, 1952. a baby was
born to one of Jehovah's Wit-
ne,sos in Penns+'lvania with an
RTr facto' and the parents were
- told that the baby %multi die
unless its blood was completely
renlaced. The parents remained
flim in their stand as to their
resnonsihtlity for the child's wet -

was amazed at the baby's
progress.

In Haverhill, Massachusetts,
one of Jchnvah's Witnesses lay
dying .of a bleeding bowel ulcer.
The date was Sept. 26, 1.;157, Her
hemoglobin picture was down to
30 and it was decided that an
nneratinn would correct it if her
blood could be built no.
As it was not desirable that a.
blood transfusion be used and her
.hemp lohin count had fallen to
an unheard of low of five per
rent, cobalt and iron were ad-
ministered orally and by intra-
muscular injections to increase
the one marrow's efficiency in

{ Biblical scholars have coin-
' mental an the prohibition of
blood outlined in the Bible. The
• late Professor J. P. Lange, DD
University of Bonn, stated the
following in his comment -are on
1he Scriptures: "The prohibition
: hl s and r-
n.f blood is absolute n] per-
petual. petual. The ptrinciple nf life is in

• longs to Go& for he created life
and he created man. We live

Since the time of Abel's mw'-
' der by Cain when God declared
to Cain: "Your brother's blood is
crying out to rate from the
ground” (Genesis 4:10), through
, the time of the flood and after
;t:he event when God stated to
Noah and his family "Only flesh
with its soul — its blood — you
must not eat" (Genesis 9:41, the
creator has repeatedly empha-
sized the sacredness of blood.

The only reported council . of
l'he C.In ishanCh.ulrcit.:luring the
days of the Apostles maintained
their decision concerning the re-
quirements of the Gentile Chris-
tians that this sante principle
was to be respected as set forth
at Acts 1.5:28, 29, "For it seemed
good to the Holy Spirit, and to

no greater
burden than these necessary
things; That ye abstain from
'meats offered to idols, and from
i blood and from things strangled,
and from fornication; :from which
if y'nu keep yourself you shall
do well . , ,"
The decision was and still i.s
binding upon both Jewish and
Gentile Christians. This was not
i a dietary law, since Jewish
' Christians were nn longer sub -
:leer to dietary limitations of the
Mosiac Laws, Tim, 4:4,
;In any case, the principle was
t stated to man long before any
dietary laws were given to the
:tows under the Mosiac .Law,
1 Even when incorporated in the
Mosiac Law, i.t was not a dietary
law, for it applied to both clean
and unclean animals.
Dr, Franz 'Delitzsch, DD. fant-
nus Bible commentator of the
;19th century, stated concerning
Ithe reservation of blood: "This
Os not a requirement of the
:lowish law to be abolished 'with
it. It is binding on all races of
men, descendants of Noah, and
%vas never revoked. There must
;be a sacred reverence for that
1 princinle of life flowing in the
blood." (New commentary on
Genesis. Vol. 1, p. 284.)
Dr. William Smith, a recog-
nized authority on religion, states
the following in his "Dictionary
of the Bible: "To blood is as-
"ribed in the Scripture the niys-
terious sacredness which belongs
to life and God reserves it to
himself."
The foregoing statement's are
from eminent F>iltle. schola rs.•
not Jehovah's Witnesses, but
none the less showing respect
' for Bible 'principles. In every case
when one of Jellnvah's Witnesses
has refused a blood transfusion,
it has been a personal decision.
