Some time ago an Ohio minis.
ter who had been travelling consid-
erably, announced that he had dis
covered Pilates report to Tiberi-
us at the time of Christ's crucifix-
ion. The Catholic church at Rome
now pronounces the report as
baseless. 1t is bnt natural that
even the report ofthe find of such
an important paper would create
a widespread interest throughout
the Christian World, but it is
passing strange the amount of
credulity there is in the make up
ofthe human family. Such sen.
sational reports are usually sprung
by some individual or newspaper
seeking notoriety.

Of this Hungarian minister's report Is that
