Kunse, one of the most prominent and
highly connected residents of Noble town
ship, has been a sufferer for over thir-
teen years from paralysis of the lower
limbs, and during the past few days
has required the attendance of a physi-
clan. Sunday morning she became worse
and at II o'clock ceased breathing, with
every appearance of death. The doctor
called a few minutes later and unhesitat-
ingly pronounced her dead. No one doubt
ed the truth of the assertion, and her i'm
mediate friends and relatives were ap-
prised of the fact.
Mr.. Ida Norman nursed Mrs Kunse
during her last illness and prepared her
body for burial Yesterday afternoon a r

the Mosaic age in the east was a highly
literary one, as literary, in fact. as the
age OF the Renaissance in Europe, and
that i would have been a miracle If the
lsraeiities. whether in Egypt or Canaan,
had not shared in the general literary cul-
ture OF the time. In the century before the
EXODUS, active CORES pOndence was con-
sIantly going on from the banks OF the
Nile to those Of the Euphrates. That cor
respondents was in the foreign language
and foreign script of BabylOnia, neces-
stating the existence all over the civilized
east Of schools, libra ries, teachers and pu-
plls. Inc antiquity Of Chaldean Atera-
ture was equally great The chief cities
OF the country boosted OF their Libraries
some Of which had been founded 5000
years ago. At the very time when Abra-
ham was born in Ur Of Chaldea one OF
us poets was composing great epic IN
twelve books. which formed the close Of
the long preceding period Of epic verse. 80
Tar as the ancient east is concerned We
cannot too soon rid ourselves Of the notion
Lnar literature is a modern invention.
Moses then could have written the Pen
tateuch, and those 10 whom IL Is addressed
could have read and understood il. The
books of the Old Testament are but a
fragment Of the Hebrew literature which
once existed; and even apart from the
possible cOrruptiOns of the text, the
meaning of numerous Hebrew words ana
grammatical constructions is merely
matter of conjecture"
The only voice of protest raised against
the acceptance OF these disclosures was
that OF Father Ignatius, who objected
to the title Of the discussion. The Credi-
bility of the Old and New Testaments.''
The recent discoveries, he said. might ar
feet that credibiity with unbelievers.
They could have no influence with the
faithful, who believed the Old Testament
on the testimony our Lord and the New
Father Ignatius' views were received with
cheers and laughter"
