RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR
SUNDAY.

The explorations and excavations of
purpose are constantly and vigorously
pressed in Greece, at Troy, in Egypt,
in. Babylonia and elsewhere. The
American explorers have made very
interesting discoveries in Nippur or
Niffer. This Babylonia expedition is
operating under the auspices of the
University of Pennsylvania. Its last
report is full of interest A Constan-
tinople letter to the Boston Transcript
refers to Jewish names and Bible his
tory and how the names were changed.
We make a brief extract from a long
and most interesting account:
Thus the names Ashkelon and
HeShbon, familiar to readers of the
Bible, figure in these newly found rtab-
let's. Inded, the number of Jewish
names known from the Old Testament
is Unusually large, especially from the
Books of Ezra and Nehemiah. Profess
sOr Hilpre> hit considers lit certain that
a considerable number of the Jewish
eXiles carried AWAY by N~ebuchadnez-
Ear were SeICl6O IN ana dTOuIpO- NIpur,
and, judging from THE many inscribed
Hebrew vases ~eXcavated in the upper
Strata off the ruins, continued to- live
there as long as the city existed. Per-
haps the most important result of the
examination of the tablets which are
now being dealt with lis to confirm
the historical accuracy of the State
mentS of Ezra and Nehemiah. Tt is
known THAT certain names in all pee-
plies are only used in the Same form at
certain limited periods. Now h
names and the forms of the names
used i'm these tablets are Those en-
ployed by the authors OF the two BIB
lical books mentioned. For the first
time there has been brought to light q
number of documents contemporary
with these authors. THE River Ke-
bar in the land of the C~haldeans," by
the walters of which Ezekiel, while a.
captive among his people ait Tel-afbib,
saw tine visions of the Cherubim (EZ.
l., 1-3; ill.,, Is; x, 15), and which has
hitherto been unidentified in cuneiform
literature, has at length come to light
as identical with the Kabari, a large
navfgalble canal not far from Nfpp1r,
and not, as it had previously been sug
gested, a river many miles distant
from it"
II mas also Dcu ulSCON0Tou Iudt I0u-
esis x: 10, has been confirmed. Cafnek
mentioned had not been identified, ind
the tradition of the Jewish Talmud
that Nipper was Calnek remained un-
confirmed. But Professor Hi1pricht
| says that recent discoveries have con-
| irmed the truth of the old tradition"
The correspondent ADDS: The i'm
preston is thus justified that the
American expedition has had the good
fortune to find the ruins of a city re-
| garded so long ago as the time of the
writer of the Book of Genesis as one
| of the oldest in the world"
The Bible of God is forever true and
discoveries from time t time clearly
establish it. Men may ome and men
may go but the Etnernal Verities re-
main based rn0n. Gods OmniScience.
