We quite sure that the Idols In our lit

due order of precedence? The rules of
precedence change, and who shall as

time are the final ones? But, above
all. are We quite certain that there may
not be notable work of genius lying
unnoticed and unknown amid the
wrecks of the river of time. waiting
only fer some lucky accident that shall

Such accidents with such results have
been frequent in the history of the
past. Indeed such accidents have pre-
served or have revealed TO the world
no insignificant proportion of its now
acknowledged masterpieces.
The books of the Bible themselves
have experienced the narrowest es-
capes from what might have resulted
in their total loss. The most notable
example is that of Deuteronomy. which
disappeared from the Jewish world for
over a century. The story of It's re-
discovery by the high priest Hezekiah
during the reign of good King Josiah
is set forth in the Old Testament.
Shakespeare was practically forgot
