OLD MANUSCRIPT GOSPELS.
St. John's and St. Pau's are Now Pre-
 served for Scholars.

From the Living Church.
 The oldest known texts in the world of St.. Johns gospel and of the Epistle or the Romans are now in this country. The formek is in the museum of the univer- sity of Pennsylvania, the latter papyrus is at Harvard University They are among the 11S papyri recently presented by the Egyptian exploration fund to the universities of our land.
 The fragment of St. Johns Gospel forms an important portion, small though 1t be. of a book of about fifty pages containing that Gospel, dating about 200; St John l. 23-4l, except that verse IS is missing In the former chapter there are those profoundly significant words: Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" In the other chapter St. Mary addressed by Jesus, after His resurrectin, at the sepulchre. The hand writing is round upright uncial, of me- dinm size. and the usual theological con- fractions for God, Jesus Christ, Spirit, occur. The reason why these two chap ters Gin part) are preserved Is that chap ter 1. and chapter xx. were very nearly tho outermost of large quire containing the other chapters. The text appears to have affinities with the Sipaitic Codex and absolutely confirms our version.
 The manuscript of the first seven verses of St. Pauls Epistle to the Romans is in a large and rather rude uncial and ap- pears to be a schoolboy's exercise at OK s,rirynchus. and of tbe date Of BIG A few mistakes in spelling occur, which a beginner in his lessons would naturally make. That a cha pter of St. Paul should be used for such d purpose shows that tho writings oc the New Testament had long been in common circulation. The older fragments of St Matthew are re- tained in England (Oxford or the British Musenlufn). and the fragments of St. Mark Of the fifth century also remain in England.

 Yamma has been given home and has been treated as if he were one of the family. He is a great favorite with the children, who have delighted to teach him English, and Mrs. Bryan has given him a mothers care. When the family went South to Texas last year Yamma could not be taken along, and he was very lonely until they returned.

 The Japanese boy was poorly supplied with funds for his journey - barely enough to carry him across the Pacific.
