out Of him, just enough to place him
on secure footing among those of
the younger set where Ruthven. as
hack cotillon leader, was regarded by
the young with wide eyed awe.
Why Neergard, who had forced him
self into the Siowitha, ever came to
commit so gross blunder as to dra-
COON or even permit the club to ac-
quire the acreage, the exploiting of
which had threatened their existence,
is not very clear.
Already the familiarity of his ap-
pearance and his name seemed to
sanction his presence. Two minor
clubs. but good ones-in need of dues
had strained at this social camel and
swallowed him. Card rooms welcomed
him-not the rooms once flung open
contemporary for his plucking, but
rooms where play was fiercer and
where those who faced him expected
battle to the limit
And they got it, for he no longer
felt obliged to lose. And that again
was a mistake. He could not yet af-
ford to win.
George Fame, unpleasantly involved
in Block Copper, angry, but not very
much frightened, turned in casual good
faith to Neergard to ease matters I'M
til he could cover. And Neergard
locked him in the tighter and shout

THE ABRAHAMIC PROMISE

other gods ruled other tribes AS they came
to hate other tribes, being at war with them,
they also hated their gods and first turned
them into devils but finally into non-en-
titles and they thus gradually become mono
theists. Here they reached new stage in
their evolution. Their one god must have
made the world and of course all men, hence
he must have some concern for Others than
Jews. Some liberal minded Jewish priest
having the entire possession of the sacred
books found it not at all inconvenient to add
a clause to the Abrahamic promise carrying
out this idea; which finally grew into the
notion of Messiah who would have mes
sage from this god to all mankind.
Now the question / wish to ask is this;
What is the earliest history we have of the
Abrahamic promise to all nations?" 1t is in
the Septuagint copy and probably in the
Masorette; whether it was in the Samar-
itan I do not know. 1t might be quite an
cient and still an Interpolation. l asked this
question in the Beacon but god no answer.
But l think the question was so condensed
that it was not well understood.

ABOUT TWO PREACHERS.
One Rev. Babcock Kicked Out OF The Traces

AS long as Christians furnish me with good
material for comment upon its consistency,
am happy. I am not responsible in any way
for the peculiar didos that these fellows cut
but l am not sorry that they failed in their
line for l verify believe that the line is
faulty and that most of them are too proud
to alter even the lines shadow.
The first gentleman that l call to the bar
of Reason, this week, is Rev. Babcock, Bap-
fist, of Bayonne, N. j. Upon Sunday, Feb.

Question PROFOUND to Biologists As To
The Earliest known Date Concerning
The Special Promise.
(By A. A. SNOWY

lDy "a n. DHOW.J
Prior to Josephus' time there were four
distinct copies of the Bible then consisting of
the Old Testament alone. These copies diff
fered from each other and in some points
quite materially. They consisted in, l. The
Masorete or that held at Jerusalem. 2. The
Samaritan consisting of the Five Books of
Moses only. Israel having divided the Sa
maritans had their Bible separate from that
at Jerusalem. 8. The Septuagint, Greek
copy translated from earlier productions
about $50 B. c. for the Egyptian library at
Alexandria. And 4. The copy from which
Josephus made his quotations which was eff
ferent from the Others is shown by N'm.
Winston in his appendix to Josephus; and he
devotes Is pages in his Dissertation w. in
citations and proofs of this fact which he
states in these words THAT the copy of
the books of the Old Testament laid up in
Herod's temple, and thence used by Josepbus,
the Jewish historian in his Antiquities was
no other than that most ancient collection
library made by Nehemiah, in the days of
Artaxerxes, the of Xerxes; and was free
from the several additions and alterations
made afterwards in the other copies which
are now extant."
Now Josephus in his Antiquities mention
ing the Abramic promise never refers to that
part of it that promises to bless all nations
in the seed of Abraham which our Christian
friends much rely upon a promise OF
a Christ that was to be born of the seed of
Abraham. He just mentions that part which
is promise to the Jews and there stops as
if there was not a word said of a blessing
to any body else. Why does he do that?
Does he think his readers would not be con-
cerned in the offer of a blessing to the Cen
tiles? Surely not for it was Gentiles that he
was writing to; and that for the purpose of
removing any prejudice from the Jewish re-
ligion. A promise concerning them would be
the first thing he would want to name. What
thenY It seems to plain that the latter
part of the promise was not in the copy that
Josephus quoted from which Winston says
was the most ancient and freeest from al
teration and Interpolation; and that this
promise in later copies was an Interpolation.
Now I take this position land l find strong
evidence to support it, The Jews originally,
at very early date, were polytheists but
they had their favorite tribal god, while

the tiger is gentle in other spots. The Rev.
Matte d. Babcock had the call with the re-

could say that he ever did anything, but imi

He talked, of course, and he was strong upon
Anti-divorce and ant-sucide. He had the
reputation of being an orator, He could open

But it is not his living that / wish to refer
