Scholars hold that the original Gospel Of St.
Luke was in Greek. The apostle was physician
OF Greek descent, and his gospel gives evidence
Of scholarly attachments. Early chronicles state
that the manuscripts of st. Lukes gospel was
one OF the treasures given to the monastery by
the Emperor Justinian in SIT A. D. The build
ing contains numerous representations Of the
apostle writing his gospel, and these appear to
have close association with the foundation of
the establishment. NJ
Tae library is known to contain about 500 an
cient volumes filled with manuscripts in Greek.
Arabic Syriac and other languages. AS one OF
these great volumes may contain hundreds OF
manuscripts. the wealth of the library can only
be guessed at Among its curiosities is very
ancient complete manuscript of the Psalms, writ
ten on its leaves In microscopic writing.
This monastery is the oldest continuously in
habited building in the world. II was founded
by Justinian In about SIT A. D.. and has been
occupied ever since. 1t is surrounded by walls
30 feet high. and defended by cannon for 1t was
cut OF from the civilized world for centuries
Until recently everybody who entered was hoist
ed by rope over these walls.
The earth which the vegetables of the
monastery are grown was brought from the Holy
Land. for there is no soil in the vicinity In the
first few centuries of the Christian church the
Sinaitic Peninsula was the refuge OF many Chris
tians fleeing from the Roman persecution. Then
the church triumphed and for centuries after the
founding OF the monastery 1t was honored by
gifts from emperors and kings.
Then came the Mohammedan outbreak Dur
ing the centuries when the followers of the
Prophet cverran the eastern world this little spot
held out for Christianity
The convent stands at the foot of the noun
tain called Jabal Musa which. according to many
authorities, is the actual mountain where the
Ten Commandments were committed to Moses
by the Lord The site of the monastery accord.
ing to this theory is the spot where Moses de-
livered the Commandments to the children of
israel This is disputed question. but there is
little doubt that tits important site for the
natives In all ages have revered IT.
Here passed the children of Israel during their
40 years wandering their way from Egypt to
the Holy Land. Here occurred the many mir
acles and wonderful events of the Exodus-the
cloud by day and the pillar OF fire by night the
feeding OF the people with mamma. the miraculous
production Of water by Moses. the battle with the
Amaiekites. the appearance Of the Lord ON the
mount the building OF the Ark the worshpping
of the Golden calf the budding Of Aarons rod.

Poor Charities.

There are charity societies. as all
the world knows, that only give to the
poor a quarter or half cent of every
dollar they take in. most of their sub
scriptions going for salaries to off,
GERS and investigators, for expensive
rentals, etc.
Richard March. the charity expert Of
Denver, Colo. was condemning these
charities. He said:
"a mans wife shouted up to him
the other day:
Don't you think this blue over
coat with the strapped-in back Is too
new and fashionable. George. to give
away?'
"'It's the agent of the Alpha Incor-
porated Charities that's at the door
isn't it?'
Yes, dear
Then let the coat co. said George.
It'll be old enough and old-fashioned
enough before it gets to the poor dub

THIS STORY SAYS
LOPEZ HAS CONE

Bingham. Dec. 27-That a sec
ret and fruitless search for the
body of Lopez, the Mexican ban
dit, was made in the Andy work.
ings of the Apex mine last night
was admitted by two of the
searchers in conversation with a
Tribune reporter today.
The searchers are said to have
spent three hours in the mine,
searching the likely places for
the body of the Mexican, after
ward leaving as they had enter
ed and replacing the bulkhead.
Nothing was found changed, ac-
cording to the two members of
the party interviewed. No evil
dence that the Mexican had been
in the mine since the bulkheads
were put there was found, it is
said, except numerous candle
ends that might have been left
by him or by miners and guards
According to the story told,
the searchers visited the spot III
the Andy incline, where j. Doug
las Hulsey and Thomas Mander-
ich were killed; the seven stope,
where Lopez's bedding was
found two weeks ago, and the
eleven stope, where il was believ-
ed he was heard on the morning
when the bulkhead was placed in
the Andy incline.
While it is said that the time
alleged to have been spent in the
search would not be enough to
visit more than small part of
the territory of the workings, yet
the searchers are said to have be-
come convinced before retiring
that if the man is still in the
mine, he must either be alive. and
hiding, or be dead in some re-
mote spot of the workings.
The time for the official open.
ing of the bulkheaded part of the
mine is still being deferred
Sheriff. Smith refralning from
giving out the definite date upor
which the search will be made
That it will take at least two
days for men acquainted with
the workings to make the search
is known. 1t has also been point
ed out that the men who are said
to have gone into the mine secre
tly are not familiar with the en-
tire extent of it and only partly
so with parts of it. t.s

denied last night that a secret
search of the Andy workings
could have been possible. Ac
cording to Deputy Hedges, the
bulkheads have not been disturb
