NEW SAYINGS OF JESUS.

LONDON, Nov. 14.-Many hitherto
unknown sayings of Jesus Christ have
been discovered in Egypt by archaeol-
ogists, who have dug up papyri buried
of Cairo. DR.. Bernard P. Grenfell, who
has been engaged in Egyptian excava-
tons since 1894, at the general meeting
of the Egypt Exploration Fund, held
yesterday, gave the following details:
Accompanied by DR.. Hunt, DR.. Gren-
fell found a rich Ptolemic metropolis at
Eli Hibeh. The bulk of the documents
from the one mound consisted of
collection of sayings of Jesus. They
are all introduced with the words
Jesus saith,'' and for the most part
are new. The ends of the lines, unfor-
tunately, are often obliterated. Appar-
emily all the sayings were addressed
to ST. Thomas. One of the most re-
markable is:
Let not him that seeketh cease from
his search until he finds, and when he
finds he shall wonder; wondering, he
shall reach the kingdom, j. e., the king
dom of heaven, and when he reaches
the kingdom he shall have rest"
DR.. Grenfell remarked that enormous
interest would be also aroused by the
discoveries on account of the varia-
tions they disclosed from accepted
texts.
One variant of mystical saying re-
corded in st. Luke, THE kingdom of
God is within you,' was of great value,
as the saying in the papyrus appeared
in quite different surroundings from
those attributed to it by the evangelist
and extended far into another region.
According to DR.. Grenfell, these say
ings formed the new Gospel which is
additionally associated with St.
Thomas.
An interesting variation of the Cos
pei according to st. Luke. eleventh
chapter and fifty-second verse, Woe
unto you lawyers, for We have taken
away the key OF knowledge; We entered
not in yourselves and them that were
entering in We hindered," reads in the
papyrus, ''Ye have hidden the key of
knowledge, We entered not yourselves

YES OR No?
Honolulu People Are Respect
fully Asked to Answer
These Questions.

Is there anything in the evidence of
ones sensesr
Is there anything in the testimony Of
ones friends?
Can reliance be placed upon state

Are the opinions of local citizens OF

strangers?
Would you sooner believe people liv-

dents of your own city?
We think not! for home proof can
easily be investigated.

Another fragment contained a dis

on the history of the world and marked
the recovery of hitherto classical liter

MIDWAY ISLANDS NEEDS.
WASHINGTON, Nov 17.-Secretary
Moody today transmitted to the Senate
a letter from Vice-President Ward of
the Pacific Cable Company. calling at
tention to the conditions at Midway
Island which make the maintenance OF
the cable station a matter of great
difficulty and asking for Government
aid.
Colonel Ward says the station was
located at Midway because the Govern
ment demanded an all-American cable.
and he now asks that the ordinary aids
to commerce be given to Midway in
the way of buoys and lights. He also
wants part of the coral reef removed
and the lagoon improved and landing
facilities provided, as well as marine
guard stationed at the island to pre-
serve order.

THANKSGIVING, 1908.

How shall we pay the debt Thee?
Is it enough that should thankful be?
That heart and voice should join in fervent praise
And sing their gladness in melodious lays?
And leave worldly thoughts and plans without?
For brief hour be Thee?
Nay! indebted be-
Our lives with all their plenteous store of good,
Are all Thy gifts of loving Fatherhood,
every day renewed We depend
Upon Thy love and care, world without end.
Lo all our future lies, how clear to Thee!
But what the morrow brings, may
When dawns the spirit life to
Thy love alone make it home
That the heavenly gates may enter in!
Unworthy whose lives marred by sin!
This gift of gifts-the brthright we had lost,
Restored US! but at what heavy cost!
So hast Thou loved the world that Thou didst give,
Thine only Son that through Him might ve
Thine heart of love in Him Thou dost reveal,
And to hayward hearts make loves appeal.
Obi never pay debt of love
To Love Divine, yet shall the ages prove,
That rise in those pure realms of peace,
Our grateful love shall evernore increase.

During the past five years the
worlds output of this product has in
creased from 100000 to more than
100000 tons, quantitatively the great
est increase ever made in any five-year
period in the history of this industry.
Moreover, for the first time in a half
century the ratio of increase in the
worlds production of cane sugar has
exceeded that Of sugar made from
beets, the percentage of increase in the
former product for the five years being
about double that of the latter.
THE four years from 10000 to
10000. inclusive, were each in it's turn
record breaking years for the produce

high record crop (3,530,000 tons) was
that of 1894-95. the crop made just be-
fore the outbreak of the revolution in
the most important producer-Cuba.
THE high record crop in the history
of the worlds beet sugar production
was that of 1902-03. Since that date,
there has been decline in the produce

about 100000 tons, but the present

The report says that about 80 per

is now annually produced on tropical
