AN EGYPTIAN coy.


Probably the most interesting ar
Genealogical discovery of the century
was recently made by an Arab boy,
near the picturesque little village of
Behnesa, in Egypt. Members of the
Egyptian Exploration society were
making an excavation and the boy,
Sabr' Said, was among the workmen.
Their labors resulted in the discovery
of larger quantities of papyri than had
ever before been obtained from one
site. The discoveries included liter
AIRY fragments, accounts, business con-
tracts and numerous documents relat-
ing to the conduct of municipal affairs.
Many large rolls were obtained in
perfect condition, and of these no fewer
than $50 were presented to the Gizeh
museum. But the greatest treasure of
the collection, and one of which it
would be difficult to overestimate the
Importance, is small leaf of papyrus
about six inches long by four wide,
upon which is written a collection of
lcgia, or sayings of Christ. The leaf
had evidently formed part of a book
which in all likelihood contained COL
lection of sayings" of our Lord.
1t is probable that this collection was
made before the second century; and
| the character of the writing affords
incontestable proof that it cannot be
of later date than the third Hence it
is at least a hundred years older than
any known MS. of the Gospels, and con-
sequently of the greatest interest to all
students of the Scriptures.-Toledo
