nothing of "very pleasant" affairs,

THE VIEWS or JEFFERSON
Lille and Morals OF Jesus OF
Nazareth" TO be Printed as a
House Document.

Washington, May 20.-Desiring to
preserve an unique as well as val
liable relic, the House has author
ICED the publication as document,
in an edition of 5000 copies, OF
Thomas Jefferson's compilations,
entitled life and Morals of Jesus
of Nazareth - otherwise known as
"Jefferson's Bible.' More or less
| imbued with the beliefs current in
France and America in the begin
ging of the last century, Jefferson
regarded Christ as a man of super
lative goodness, but without super
natural character with which
Christendom has for nearly 1000
wears invested him. His studious
mind led him to considerable re-
search i'm regard to the life and
times of Christ, and he compiled in
four parallel columns, from editions
of the Gospel printed in Latin,
Greek, French and English the sa-
lient passages which conpositely
formed biography Of the Saviour.
The text il In the custody of the
National Museum and forms
small volume about an inch thick,
with the extracts neatly pasted in
and accompanied with copious mar
ginal annotations in the handwrit-
ing of Jefferson.
The action of the House is some
what unusual and there was dis
position To criticise the resolution,
introduced by Mr.. Heatwole Of Min
nesota, until Mr.. Lacey, OF Iowa,
explained that Congress had author
lied the publication Of all the works
OF Jefferson with the exception of
this volume. 1t seems that when
Congress bought Thomas Jefferson S
library, which is now in the library
of congress, this compilation was
not included. II was subsequently
purchased for 500 from Miss Ran
doIph. IT is bound in red morocco,
and DR.. Cyrus Adler of the smith
sonian Institution, impressed with
its great value, holds it under lock
and key and keeps the key himself.
Jetfers0n's correspondence with
John Adams, Or. Priestly and
Others disclose how conscientiously,
as a freethinker, he studied the life
of Christ. In a letter TO Charles
Thompson ia 1915 he desribes the
book, which he says he made up
from Testaments which he bought
in Philadelphia and gives il the title
"Philnsopy of Jesus" He speaks
of it in this way: "A more beautl-
ful or precious morsel of ethics l
| havenever seen, " and states that the
compilation was the work of "some
two or three nights" in the White
| House at Washington after he was
''.hrough the evenings task of
reading the letters and papers of the
day"
Among the marginal notes Jetfer-
/ son describes the Roman law of
seditlon under which Jesus was
tried. A map of Judea is attached,
and there is table giving the pages,
chapters and verses from which the
clippings were made. Judge Lacey
spoke of the work as showing no ir-
reverence, but presenting IA consoli-
dation of the teachings of Christ,
mingled with only se mach of mar
rative as Virginia lawyer would
/ hold to be creditable." Everything
of a miraculous nature Jefferson
studiously omitted. The publica-
tion will have an Introduction OF
about twenty-five pages by DIR. Ad-
Ter. The book will be reproduced
by photo-llthography and will be
virtually fac-simile,
