$40. What was the book OF Enoctc
Should it have a place In Scripture? II
SO. why was 1t excluded?
Answer 1t is believed that the book OF
Enoch was written about lao b. c.. the
last Of the Old Testament canon. II was
honored. approved and quoted by Jesus
and the apostles. for which reason II
ought to be held sacred. 1t was ignored
by the early Christians. apparently be-
cause the Greek and Roman elements be-
came dominant in the churches. Lost to
the world for centuries. X was recovered
in 1913. when four copies In the Ethiopic
language were brought from Ahysslnia
and translated. Since then scholars have
bestowed much study upon II. More than
forty Of the most remarkable figures and
phrases Of the Revelation appeared pre-
viously in the book Of Enoch. One of the
most interesting features of this book IS
the striking resemblance between 1t and
Daniel.
81. What shall be said concerning tie
recent theory of Prof. Haupt that Jesus
was not of Semitic origin"
Answer. BY the professors mode Of
reasoning one may conclude that Abra-
ham Lincoln was not native American
or that Oliver Cromwell was not an Eng
lishman.

With the purpose of finding location
suitable for a half million dollar educa-
tional institution for the mental sci

at Bryn Mawr, King county, Wash,
Prof. NJ F. Knox is in Los Angeles|in-
Vestigating local conditions.
1--WE must have water on the site of
our college," said Prof. Knox last night.
THAT is absolutely necessary. Six years
ago they offered us land just outside
of Los Angeles, but as there was no
water we could not avail ourselves
of it.
"All over the southwest they are anx-
ious to have us. We have received of
fers from Fort Worth, Texas, Wood
ward, Oklahoma City, Sulphur and
Guthrie, Okla.
Last year our college at Bryn Mawr
graduated sixty students.

Vitosophy hall, 215 West Fourth street,
opposite the Angelus. These discourses
will be free, five in number, two of them
at 2:3O D. m and the others at 8 p. m.
The first will be delivered Sunday night
on How to overcome Poverty and Ac-
cumulate Wealth. After my fifth lee

headquarters in Chicago, has a firm be-
lief in the adaptability of mental sci

a woman hold a similar office.
But if you were to write her let

They expect to spend a week or ten
days in Southern California and will, of

first intimtaion he had of the German

especially because ne personally saw an
official communication from Germany
to the government at Washington eX-
pressing Germany's satisfaction over
the ratification of his selection for that
post by President Roosevelt
Moreover, he said, on a recent visit
TO Berlin he did not hear anything that
would lead him to believe that he was
persona non grata to the German gov
ernment, nor had he received the i'm
preston that the situation was differ
ent from that expressed in the official
communication ne read.
President Roosevelt, he added. in

In the absence of official advices Mr..
Hill declined further to discuss the
matter.
