 the priests. the teaching of the prophets and the religious life of the more en- frightened people. Each of these resulted as might be expected in increased diff culties when 1t came to the point or eodification, Different versions of the Old Testament became necessary at a very early date, chiefly because the Jews in inc west adopted the Greek language while even in Palestine the old Hebrew | was gradually supplanted by the Ara maic tongue. Perhaps the most rernarh- able in It's history was the Alexanorian version, commonly known as the Septua- gint (meaning the seventy UT '"e Fei sion of the LXX.
 u-ha chief seat of the Hellemstic Jews was in Egypt and here it was that this mira culous version was compiled. Ftoi- mey Philadelphus, ruler of Egypt during the second century A. D.. summoned ac- cording to the story, 72 Palestinian scnoi- ars. These he shut into 72 different ceiis' each with a scribe, to prepare from the eyisting data a Bible in Greek. When the task was finished, according to the story. the translation of each was 1ound to be absolutely identical with all tho others in word and letter. Hence this compilation Is often referred to as the Miracle of Septuagint. Another writer has it that the scholars were put two in each cell, thus making 36 translations Instead of 72. ~
 Concerning tie chronology of the New Testament there is even today much ar gument and many theories have been advanced to explain it's apparent anarch- ron,sms. Perhaps the most interesting ,s that known as the Tubingen theory. Briefly this theory holds that if revela- lion is miraculous. 1t naturally escapes the restrictions of a purely historical narrative In other words, miraculous revelation may deal at once with events past. present or future. Of all theories nut forward this seems best to answer the objections of critics who look Tor flaws in the New Testament.
 One of the great questions of the Bible is that concerning the canonicity of It's books-that Is, their right to be quoted as Scripture. Different versions Of the Bible admit or exclude various books, and these latter are generally referred to as the apocryphal books. Originally the word of Greek origin meant hidden-that is esoterc. But it has now received an entirely different meaning-that of doubt ful or even spurious. The books which form the Apocrypha of the Old Testa- ment of which the ordinary reader of tho Rible knows little or nothing include those known as Esdras. Tobit. Judith, Baruch, the Song of Three Holy Chii- dren, the History of Susanna. the His tory of the Destruction of Bel and Ora gon and some others.
 But vague as may be the origin of the Bible, and questionable as it's compost tion may be held by scholars and sci entists it undoubtedly remains the great est literary achievement in the history of the world While Dr. Aked criticises va rious details in his Appieton article. he points out that the spirit rather than the letter of the Bible is to be studied and followed The danger which he sees in 1t comes not from knowledge of this re- markable book. but from ignorance con- cerning the simplest facts about it.
