IMPORTANT DISCOVERY,
An Ancient Manuscript of the New Testa-
ment Found at Damascus.

An Ancient Manuscript of the New Testa-
ment Found at Damascus.
We have reason to believe that dis
covery of equal Importance to New Tes-
lament scholars with that which gave
Codex Aleph to the world has just been
made. The rumor current in well-in-
formed quarters credits the new find to
Bryennois, the learned Archbishop of
Nicomedia. The completion off the
Epistle of Clement of Rome, and the
unique manuscript of the Teaching of
the Apostles have made him famous for
discoveries even in this age of discovery.
But if the rumor that has come to us be
true, and we think there are good rea-
sons for believing it to be SO, his name
will be more closely identified
with the New Testament itself.
1t is said that in some Turk
ish library at Damascus he has
found manuscript Of the New Testa-
ment dating from about the middle of
the fourth century,. e., of the same
antiquity as the Codex Sinaiticus. In
deed, some apprehensions are felt
whether it is not altogether too much
like the Sinaitic manuscript to be of the
phenomenal Importance that other
totally independent manuscript of the
same age would be. If, as is said, and
we are not yet in a position to speak of
of it as more than a rumor, the new
Codex resembles the Sinaitic not only
in the additional books that are ap-
pended to 1.-THE .Epistle of Barnabas
and the Shepherd of Hermas. 1--WE wonder
w of 10
tains all the latter)-but also in the
peculiarities of text, it would seem to
be almost duplicate of the Sinaitic,
both forming, perhaps, part of an
edition issued for the common use of
the Palestinian church. But even
if this should prove to be the case, it
would tend to show that the general
type of text represented by it and the
few older manuscripts was more COM
monty accepted than the defenders of
the received text allow it to have been,
and may perhaps help to reassure those
strange exponents of criticism who make
much of the question of numbers in the
authorities for a reading To the school
of Westcott and Hort we should suppose
that twenty or thirty duplicates of the
Sinaitic would make but little differ
ence, save as confirming the correctness
of their theory; but to those timid critics
to whom numbers are of Importance, it
would probably be really helpful.
Whether or not the new manuscript Gf
it exists be only contemporary dupli-
cate or an independent Witness the
civilized world will await fuller partic-
r1ars with aytram0 interast IT ,ondon

Remarkable Nerve.

Tie early history of America is full Of
instances of men having great nerve. But
we are rapidly becoming the most nervous
people on earth. The recent increase OF
insanity, epileptic fits, headache, back
ache, neuralgia, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, dyspepsia, futtering of the heart
etc. points to an early decay of the race
