Mr.. Philipson had an appointment
IN the document room Of the House

make both ends meet. They feel

brought home some valuable books
and other souvenirs Of their visit to
the most beautiful city in the world.
One of the books is especially valu-
able and highly priced, as it is a
very exclusive edition de luxe Of a
facsimile reproduction in photo
gravure of Thomas Jefferson's Bible
issued by the government for
students Of Biblical research and
other literary people who prize
such editions. The book is bound
exactly as Mr.. Jefferson had it
bound, and the title page which
reads. 1.-THE Life and Morals of
Jesus of Nazareth" and an index
page are in Mr.. Jefferson's hand
writing. The book is made up of
clippings from the Bible, which the
author of the Declaration endorsed,
ending up with the burial Of Christ.
