be arrested myself, will only venture to remark
that the way In which these bonds have been put
the market here and the intrinsic value attributed
TO them, and the absence of easily demonstrable
proofs of their value in the sensational advertise

extraordinary. VIII further remark that Gen. Gu

The elections being over, and he come ont of the

Paul. the third book of his Histoire DIES Ori0inos du
Chistidnise, covering the time from the departure
OF ST. Paul on his first mission A. d. 49, to his arrival
at Rome A. ID. 81. This volume IS dedicated to his
wife, Cornela, daughter of Henri and niece of AIRY
Schetfer, as preceding volume was to his sister.
These dedlcatOns not merely rhetorical formulas
nor yet merely beautiful expressions of individual
affection for the wife and sister who accompanied
the author in body and spirit to the holy sites and
scenes. They are a homage to women, especially
characteristic of Keenan, indicative of an element SIN
gularly developed in his nature, an ement-of temi-
ninty Call 1t an element of weakness or strength,
as you choose, but don't let it out of sight when
reading the following pages. if You wish TO Judge
them and him honestly, rightly. The volume opens
with long Introduction, which is a critical
essay on the called Epistles of Paul the original
documents on which this portion of his work is
founded. In this preliminary essay the critic occu-
pies himself first with the question of authenticity,
then with the question of the integrity of the thr
teen canOnical Epistles. His decision on the first
point IS that Galatians, both Corinthians. and Ro-
mans past doubt; that Thessalonans and Philip
pans though obnoxious TO objections. are certain
that Colossians and Philemon are, on the WHOLE
probably auhentc that Ephesians is doubtful that
the two Epistles to Timothy and the to Titus are
false. For the integrity of the text, the theory
maintained, and especially illustrated by critical
analysis of the Epstle TO the Romans, so-caed, is
that the editors Of the final and accepted
text of Pauls letters, had, for general
principle, to reject nothing and add nothing
but above all to reject nothing. The common
bodg then, of the sO-called Epistle TO the
Romans was circular letter. an encyclical letter
addressed TO tho churches Of Ephesus and Thessa-
lOnica principally, but also TO the brethren at Rome
and one or more other places. Local and individual
items were adjoned, according the special desu-
nation of the general circular. These specalites
were selected and sewed on. to speak TO the final
edition. by honest editors more DESTROYS of saving
all St. Pauls authentic words than Of nice literary
form. Here is the explanation of repetions, and of
salutatory phrase in the midst of the Epste to the
Romans, otherwise ineXplicable in the text of a 80
