Based on Apocryphal Book Of Ec-
clesiasticus.
Ecclesiasticus is the title given
to the seventh book of the Apocrypha,
otherwise called ''The wisdom Of Jesus
The son of Sirach." The word, like many
others OF Greek origin, appears to have
been adopted in the African dialect. The
right explanation of the word Is given
by Rufinus, who remarks that at does
not designate the author of the book,
but the character of the writing" as pub
hcly used in the services OF the church.
According to Jerome the original Hebrew
title was Proverbs and the Wisdom of
Solomon, the title Of The Book OF All
Virtues. In the Syriac version the book
IS entitled THE Book of Jesus the Son
" Simeon Asiro." and the same book
is called the Wisdom Of the Son of
Asiro" The Palestinian origin Of the
author is substantiated by internal evil
1ence, e. q. 24:1Of. The language in which
he book was originally composed was He

with the Hebrew text. Nothing however,

The drinker sometimes boasts of

scheduled for quartet of rounds.
Henley of Fort Shafter-he whom
Nelson passed out a few weeks ago
has decided to have another go at
the game. He and Don Correa will
box four rounds, and the contest
should be interesting.
Pete Stanley. the wonderful ball
puncher. will try what he can do with
Humphreys of Camp Very. II Pete
is as clever at hitting something that
