NEW VERSES FOUND
Sayings of Christ Lost to World for Thirteen Centuries
 Unearthed.
AUTHENTICITY UND0UBTED
Original of Lost Part of Gospel of Mark Thrown Out by Early
 Translators.

Chicago, Dec 30-The Daily News to-day says: A new saying of Christ, lost to the world for thirteen centuries, and found in Egypt. was given to the world for the first time to-day by Prof. Henry A. Sanders, of the University of Michigan, in addressing the members of the Archaeological Institutes now in. session at the University of Chicago The fragment is part of an old Bible, dating back to the Moslenn conquest of Egypt and on its face Is so authentic as to disarm criticism.
 The long lost fragment belongs in the sixteenth chapter of the gospel or St. Mark and follows the fourteenth verse. It relates to the story of Christ's appearance, following his death, to eleven of his apostles in Je- rusalem.
 With the new verse in, the Bible reads;
 Mark 1915; And they answered say ing that this age of unrighteousness and unbelief is under the power of satan who does not permit the things which are made impure by the (eviD spirits to comprehend the truth of God and His power For this reason re- veal Thy Righteousness Now, they said to Christ; and Christ said to them: The limit of the years of the power of satan has been fulfilled, but other terrible things are at hand, and I was delivered unto death on behalf of those who sinned in order that they may return to the truth and sin no more to the end that they may inherit the spiritual. understandable glory of right eousness which is in heaven"
 In discussing the new verse, Prof. Sanders said
 This newly discovered paragraph was known to St. Jerome, and the first few lines of it are cited in Latin trans lations. It has long been maintained that Mark IS, S-20 of the 18th chapter of Mark were an addition to the gospel .borrowedfrom some other unknown gos- pei near the end of the second century, This new manuscript probably pre- sents the original form of that part of the lost gospel, which, mutilated, was added to Mark. The reason for the omission Is quite apparent, as the new verse contains the statement that the destruction of sin in the world is near at hand.
 This idea is found in the epistles of Peter and Paul, but the four gospels do not have it, and it is avoided by the later church writers.

DISAPPEAR AGAIN
Ex Pastor and Whaley Girl, With Their Child, Were
 Living in Frisco.
HE IS A YALE GRADUATE
Declared to Reporter That Discovery and Apprehension Would Kill
 the Girl.

San Francisco, Dec. 80, Tn a. pelting rain and before daybreak the Rev Jere Rhode Cooke, formerly pastor of the fashionable ,st Georges church at Hempstead L. l., and Floretta Whaley, the l7-yeas-old 'heiress with whom he eloped eight months ago, deserting a wife to whom he had been married for nine years and creating a sensation in church and society circles, stole away to-day from the little flat which they had occupied at 1199 Green street in this city where they were discovered yesterday living under the name of MT. and Mrs. Gerald Balcoln, taking with them their baby boy, born two months ago. They left behind what they had managed through rigid economy to save for their worldly comfort during the eight months that search for them had been made throughout the coun- try. Whither they went has not yet been ascertained
 When a newspaper interviewer call ed yesterday Balcom, or Cooke, ad- mitted his identity, but sent the young mother and the baby into another room, asking the reporter to lower his tone that she might not learn of the discovery of their identity
 My God, what an awakening from our happiness" exclaimed Cooke. All want is chance to get away. I don't mind Sing Sing or hell, but it is she. The child was born two months ago, and discovery and apprehension would kill the mother"
 'The memorable law must be main tained,' he said q have preached 1t so often I ought to know. There is nothing that will paint a black sheep white. But have my reasons. For ten years I have kept silent. For the last eight months have borne without murmur all the abuse, the vilest lies that newspapers could concoct."
 Cooke's father died when Cooke was years old He was adopted by an uncle and learned the trade of paper hanger and decorator. He worked his way through Yale and finally entered the ministry.
 Cooke told of his marriage and of his unhappy married life. He de- clared that his wife admitted to him that she had married him for no other reason than that it would prove a con venient stepping stone for her social ambitions. He added that it would he "caddish to dilate on my marriage troubles"
 Then I awoke to love, and every thing else was worthless" he con tinued You know the end. On the one hand was loveless life with honor and position and wealth and on the other love and poverty l chose this
