What Tongue Did Christ speak2

Some students of this question, which
the revision of the Old Testament has
beset with renewed interest, are of the
opinion that the population of Pales-
tine at the time of Christ's mission was
Greek. The Rev. Alexander Roberts.
d. D., recently published book on the
Old Testament revision, in which he
gives some reasons for this conclusion.
For centuries preceding the coming of
Christ the Greek language permeated
the countries bordering on the mediter-
ranean. The old Hebrew, in which the
law had been written, had become u
dead language, and only the learned
men of that period were able to read
the Pentatcuch. The pure Hebrew
race in Palestine spoke Aramaic. which
was unlike the Hebrew of Moses and
Isaiah. The Greek language and
Aramaic were. then, the tongues spoken
in that country at the time of the COM
ing of our Lord. Hence DIR. Roberts
argues that while teaching the people
Christ would address them in a Ian
guage that they understood. Even if
he knew the scriptures in the original
Hebrew, he would no more be likely TO
use them in that way than a modern
preacher who knows the New Testa-
ment in the original Greek would give
his text in that.
The evidence that the common peO-
pie understood Greek our authority
considers conclusive. As examples of
facts which led him to this opinion he
quotes the epistles which were written
in Greek by 5 me of the apostles to the
Hebrew Christians. Paurs epistles to
the Greeks were, of course. written in
Greek. But. asks Dr. Roberts, .'why
should Peter, who was a strict Hebrew,
write his epistles in Greek unless the
Hebrews understood Greek? Why was
the Epistle to the Hebrews ascribed to
Paul written in Greek?' The apostles
appear TO have spoken in Aramaic and
in Greek, as the occasion seemed to
demand. Christ did not address him.
self merely to a province, but to the
world, and his utterances were, there
fore, in the language that was best I'M
derstood. Greek was the language of
civilization; moreover, sit was the civil
ization of that era which accepted him,
while the Hebrews rejected him."

Oh idren's Magazines.

The subject of literary entertainment
for the young, and especially for chill
dren, will be as prominent as any other
in the discussion of the holiday books,
now already well upon us. 1t is mat
ter of common remark, and has been
any time these dozen years, how great
attention is paid to the classes of juve-
nile readers, not only at this particu-
lar season, but all the year round, and
every month and week in the year.
We have found much to say in this re-
spect. and the demands upon our con-
sideratiou have grown with equal step
in the development of magazine enter.
tainmcnt for the young and for the
mature. But with continually increas-
ing emphasis the question recurs
whether this extra attention measures
the real value of the provision thus
made for children.
The great fault of the children's
magazines is that they give the leas
possible quantity of sense to the great
est possible quantity of amusement.
Now it is well to be amused, and the
tightening of the reading of childhood
by the riches of various folklore, the
invention of new fairy and fantasy, the
infusion of poetic beauty. and the orna-
ment of art-all these are most prais-
worthy in due bounds. The objection
is that there is no bounds; that trifles
have the whole field to themselves, and
in fact that the principal constituents
OF the child's paper or magazine are
mush and mOlasses, cake and candy.
Now, we do not feed our children after
this sort at their home tables. We give
them milk and bread, and meat and
fruit-the sweet stuff is n mere occa-
siOnal luxury. Why should we allow
their finer being, their mental quality.
to be demoralized any more readily
than their physicalP
We shall not be suspected of the
Gradgrind spirit if we declare that
seventy-five per cent. of nonsense is too
much to present our children in a
month. and even fifty per cent, which
we are persuaded is the modern aver
age. is entirely too great for their men
tai healths.
We do not deny the value and the
necessity of cultivating the magma
ton. The Arabian Nights needs sue
cession and sustainment, and when SO
great an original genius as Frank
Stockton appears, we scarcely desire
to limit his appearance, for we shall
seldom in a generation find his equal.
The flood of American production is
not in the fashion of Mr.. Stockton
though he has imitators at distance
but in the general line of fanciful trash
and silly fiction. 1t really affords one
grave sense of comfort to open an
English Juvenile like the ChatterboX,
with its honest dizziness, its pragmatic-
al moralizing and its plain old-style
wOod-cuts.
The mention of wood-cuts leads to
another consideration, and that per-
hapS the radical one. It is that our
American child's magazines, papers
and books are written and illustrated
too generally above the heads of their
Ostcnsiblc audience. -SpTtngfe'd Re-

WOMEN As FLOWER PAINTERS.

Many women are impelled to believe
seriously that, because they are women,
they must have an innate comprehen-
sion. a special instinct. which helps
them to right Interpretation of floral
mystery and beauty. They are eneour-
aged as well by much talk of the digni-
ty and sanctity OF women's work, and
a half-scornful belief that 'surely any
one almost can paint flowersr' So that,
on an average. more than half of the
innumcrable flower pieces in our exhibit
tons are nv women. In all this there
is the confidence OF ignorance. for, as a
matter of fact there are many who
paint flowers crcdi,ably, and only a
few, and these not usually women. who
paint them worthily. The present high
standard of art certainly forbids their
being false to nature. or entirely medi-
