Bishop Saterlee Discusses the Lately
Discovered Egyptian manuscripts.

Bishop Saterlee Discusses the Lately
Discovered Egyptian manuscripts.
Referring to the lately discovered manu-
scripts which i,urport to be sayings of
Christ, Bishop Satterlee said in recent
interview at Lambeth:
Il have read something about these
words of Christ contained in a manuscript
found in an old tomb in Egypt. 1t is said
in what l read about it to date from 30 to
800 A. D. That is long time after the
death and resurrection of Christ, and 1t,
therefore, at best, can only be what some
pious early Christian copied from one of
the gospels in use in those days of the
church.
THE holy gospels, as We have them in
English are translated from equally early,
If not earlier. manuscripts, which in their
turn were copies, at least We are bound
to believe, in the absence of some proof to
the contrary, of the original gospels writ
ten by the evangelists or their contem-
poraries. This takes away all value from
the newly discovered manuscript as an
exegetical document. 1t is curious and
most interesting relic of early Christianity
and nothing more.
Yes, We have talked about this dis
covery, but none of the bishops / have
talked with about 1T seem inclined to give
the manuscript more Importance than l do
After all. what does it purport to be?
Some fragmentary words of Christ, written
not earlier than the second century, no one
knows by whom There are six or eight
sayings of Christ in the manuscript and
two or three Of them are so fragmentary
that they are meaningless. The others, so
far as can see by what is said OF them in
the papers and the abridged TRANSACTIONS
that have been published, are simply par
aphrases of what We already have as the
words of Christ in the Scriptures. In no
material way do they differ. II they did
differ. what material value would they
have? Only that to which document is
entitled as a rare and ancient curiosity"
The Archbishop of Canterbury for exam
pie, was extremely conservative and de-
clined absolutely to say word on the SUBJ
ject for publication.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
An old Swede farmer who lives on the
Baltimore and Ohio road a few miles out
of town had the misfortune to lose val
liable colt the other day. The animal
jumped out of a pasture. ran down upon
the railway and was caught in cut by ar
express train. The claim agent of the road
went out to effect an amcable settlement,
if possible. with. the old man.
I'VE are very sorry, of course, that this
affair happened" said the railway man.

The old farmer looked at him suspicious

nothing.
You must remember" continued the
claim agent, that your colt was a tres
passer on our property when the accident
occurred. We don't want any litigation,
however, If we can help 1t, and we'd like

From Harper 5 BaZar
Numberless men in every community are
irretrievably afraid of women. Very sell
dom does woman fear men, fond as she
is of saying so. and her occasional fear
after a slight acquaintance with them, is
quickly ard completely dissipated.
4 woman will remember and resent an
affront when she has condoned and for
gotten a score of wrongs.
Persons who are in sympathy with one
another are apt to appreciate the same
jest. to perceive at once and together the
subtle point of joke.
Women continually complain that they
have no time. They always find time for
what they particularly want to do Does
the woman exist that has not time to
write to the man she is in love with?
a generous. high minded man is ALWAYS
at terrible disadvantage in any relation
with a selfish woman. She demands eyery-
thing from him and will give nothing in
return.
1t is not what women say. but what they
refrain from saying. that draws men TO
them and holds them firmly.
