RESCRIPT.


Whenever an issue Of fact is once judi.
cially settled between parties. 1t Is for
ever settled between such parties and
their privies. and the result enures in
favor iayor OF the winning party in any other
same issue is involved.
In order. however. that Il Judgment
Shall have such potential effect, 1t must
appear that the facts in question are the
same in each case; the issues must be
identical.
The defendant contracted to drive GER
tain logs on Sebasticook river to Clinton
TO McNally to be delivered at Clinton.
Mentally sued the plaintiff for shortage
in the logs delivered. and recovered
against him. of which suit this defendant
was notified and requested to defend. and
he did assist in defending it. The plain
tiff sues the defendant for negligence in
driving the logs claiming that the defen-
dant is bound by the Judgment. which
McNally recovered against him. 1t is
held by the court that the issues do not
appear to be exactly the same for the
following reasons:
First-Because the case finds that the
main question in the prior suit was
whether the logs We're all driven down
and delivered according to plaintiffs con-
tract with McNally.
Secondly-Because by plaintiffs con-
tract of sale the logs We're to be driven
to McNallys boom. while by the defcn-
dant's contract for driving they We're to
be driven to boom or booms in Clinton.
Non constat that the places for delivery
were the same.
Thirdly-Because the plaintiff was to
deliver the logs before summer while
no time was specified within which the
defendant should drive the logs.
Fcurthly-Because the rule for recovery
OF damages would not be the same. In
one case the amount recoverable being
damages. if any, for waste by negligent
driving. and in the other damages for
logs bargained and sold. but not deiiv-
cred.
Action to stand for trial.

1t will afford infinite comfort to the
Theosophist.
The sixth saying comedies in part with
Luke iv, "a:
Jesus saith "A prophet is not accept
able in his own country; neither doth a
physician work cures upon them that
know him.
This is considered to prove that Luke
had the same original records as the
logia, because the Greek for accepted,
here dektos, was used by Luke only and
was hitherto supposed to be one Of his
mere literary changes on Matthew's col
lection.
The seventh logion, Jesus saith, "A city
built upon the top of high hill and es-
tablished can neither fall nor be hid,' y"
is an expression of the idea in Matthew
V, IA. The additional matter suggests
the parable of the house built upon a
rock, Matthew, viii 24-25. But it is not
really admissible to suppose that this
logion is a mere conf1ation of the two
passages, since there is no reference here
to the rock, which is the essential point
of the parable.
The eighth logion is undecipherable.
The recognizable. portion seems to indi-
cate that it is new.
The editors hold that as the papyrus
was obviously written not much later
than the beginning Of the third century,
this collection Of sayings must go back
at least to the end of the second century.
But the internal evidence, they assert
points to an earlier date. The primitive
cast and setting Of the sayings, the alb
sence of any consistent tendency in favor
Of any particular sect, the wide diverg-
ences in the familiar sayings from the
text Of the Gospels, the striking charac-
ter of those which are new, combine to
separate the fragment from the "apo-
cryphal" literature Of the middle and lat
ter half of the second century and to re-
fer it back to the period when the Can
onical Gospels had not yet reached their
pre-eminent position.-New York Her

MOVED A TOWN SIX MILES
How Fort Madison Was Founded
From the Ruins of Nauvoo

Every now and then marvellous stories
come out of the west. One Of the most
remarkable is told by a Missourian. 1t
is story of the days when the people of
the bullion state were driving out Of it
the Mormons. The latter built a town
at Nauvoo, on the banks of the Mississ-
ippi. There they erected their temple
and were making much progress. until
the people of Illinois arose in anger,
burned the temple, murdered Joe Smith
and drove the rest of the community to
take final refuge in Utah. Afterward a
colony of Russian colonists came along
and bought the land. They had no use
for the $50 buildings and sold them to q
Missourian for a trife. The following
winter this enterprising individual put
rollers under the houses, slid them down
the banks of the frozen river and then
slid. rolled and pushed them six miles
further UP the stream, where, alone and
single-handed. he founded the town Of
Fort Madison. Iowa.--Portland Oregon

will be required. But the remarkable
character of the fragment to which al
lusion has been made seemed to demand
it's prompt publication. That demand
has been met in the present pamphlet.
The first logion is fragmentary, and
runs as follows: 80 and then shalt
thou see clearly to cast out the mote
that is in thy brothers eye"
This agrees substantially with the
meaning Of Matthew, viii:5, and is iden-
tical in language with Luke, vi:42.
"If," say the editors, 1--WE are right
in maintaining that the verso side of
this leaf came first in the book, there
is nothing to show whether the whole
of the saying, as found in Luke and Mat
thew, preceded. If the recto side had
come first, there would have been good
reason for thinking that the saying
appeared in shortened form, since ii
is unlikely that more than few lines
are lost at the bottom of the leaf"
The second logion offers more diff
culties to the Christian. 1t runs as fol-
lows:
"Lesus saith, Except We fast to the
world, ye shall in no wise find the king
DOM of God; and except ye keep the
Sabbath We shall not see the Father"
Obviously, 1t Is declared, the Jewish
Sabbath Is meant. But it has been the
doctrine Of Christianity that the Jewish
Sabbath was superseded by the new dis
penrotion. The observance of our mod
ern Sunday is in itself an innovation
upon early Christian practice. 1t is,
Therefore, suggested that this logion may
faI ~
sup porting the Jewish Sabbath
The third logion is similar in spirit to
| that contained in John |, TO- but the form
| is different. 1t runs as follows:
"JAsus saith, 7 stood in the midst OF
the world, and in the flesh was seen OF
| them, and found all men drunken, and
none found I athirst among them, and
my soul grieveth over the sons of men,
because they are blind in their heart y
Legion fourth has perished, only one
| word remaining. This Is the Greek
| word for beggary. word that does not
occur in any saying of Christ recorded in
the Gospels. So this logion was very
likely new.
The fifth logion is also new, and is the
| one which will attract most controversy
as being hardest to reconcile with the
| New Testament teaching. 1t survives
only in a fragmentary form, but the
import is plain. Here Is the fragment:
Jesus saith, Wherever there are
!" and there is one alone
| am with him. Raise the stone and there
thou shalt find me; leave the wood and
there am l."
The first part Of this message recalls
Matthew xviii, 20: "For where there are
| two or three gathered together" etc.
! though with considerable divergences
But the latter half seems to suggest
pantheism, either Buddhistic of Neo.
Platonic. 1t may be quoted in future
in support OF the accusation that the
Gospel Of St., John is in its philosophical
! part saturated with Neo-Platonic ideas

NEW sA YINGs OF CHRIST
A Copy Of the Papyrus Discovered in
Egypt Has Reached This Country

Bernard P. Grenfell and Arthur S.
Hunt, of the Egyptian exploration fund,
in the course of their excavations at
Behnesa have happened upon an extra
ordinary find. This is nothing less than
a leaf from a papyrus book, five and.
three quarter inches by three and three
quarter inches in size. which contains
eight logia or sayings ascribed to Christ.
Each begins, "Jesus saith.''
OF the eight two are indecipherable,
familiar passages in the Gospels. The
remaining two not only do not occur
in any Of the four Gospels admitted into
the New Testament canon, but seem to
be at variance with the doctrines of
Christ as they have been interpreted.
Mr.. Henry Erode of London has re-
published this fragment, with an intro
duction, translation notes and supple
mentary general remarks by the dis
coverers. The little pamphlet has just
reached America.
The discoverers first give a general
history Of the manner and method of the
discovery. Behnesa, where 1t occurred,
is at present mere hamlet on the edge
Of the Libyan desert. 120 miles south Of
Cairo. Its inhabitants number 200. But
it marks the site Of fiourishing city in
Roman times and was one Of the chief
centers Of early Christianity in Europe.
After the Arab conquest 1t declined rap
idly into it's present insignificance.
Nevertheless, 1t affords peculiarly at
tractive field for explorers who make the
recovery of Greek papyri their princi-
pal aim.
Excavations were begun last winter.
For the first three weeks the explorers
devoted their attention to the ancient
cemetery. This proved on the whole
unproductive. But in the rubbish heaps
of the town were found large quantities
of papyri, chiefly Greek. ranging in date
from the first Of the eighth century,
and embracing every variety of subject.
No site, with the probable exception OF
Arsinoe, has proved so fertile in this re-
spect, and for the examination and ed
iting Of the papyri discovered dmuch time
