annual sensation upon a vernal world.
This time it appears in the shape of
an alleged correspondence which the
enterprising scribe has unearthed be-
tween Agrippa and Christ. This is
certainly a trife far fetched as there
is no record in all history of the
Saviours ever committing a single
word to writing. Every record of him
that the world has ever had has come
through the writings of others. 1t is
not 50 bad for the gifted liars of GER
tain sensational papers to spring a
new sea-serpent or kissing-bug story
upon the Gullibc public, but when they
invade the domain Of religion and trifle
with the personality of the Saviour,
they are carrying the thing a tritle too
far. \ good natured public will laugh
at jokes like the former but it cannot
condone sacrilege.
