Hebrew
Not Used
for Bible 3?

Was the Old Testament written III
Hebrew is a question asked by FRO
fessor Eduard Naville in book he mas
written on the archaeology of the New
Testament. This subject is particu-
larry appropriate at this, the hour OF
the ancient Feast of Purim which
the Jews of Newark have just op-
served with fitting solemnity
This is the theory Of Professor
Naville: The Pentateuch was orls1-
Itally composed by Moses in the Baby
lonian language and the cuneiferm
script. The same language and SCRIPT
were employed for the other earlier
portions of the Old Testament. The
prophetic and didactic books, as, per-
haps, also, some of the psalms, were,
in all likelihood, written originally in
Aramaic, or, if they were primarily
in Babylonian, they must have been
put in that language before the time
of the Seventy
Certainty of original Aramaic COM
position is assumed by Professor
Naville for the latest books of the
canon.
The first great transformation was
affected by Ezra. Out of the cunei-
form tablets written by Moses arose,
under the great renovator of the
times following the exile, an Aramaic
Pentateuch; and Ezra perhaps also
which were to form the sacred vol
ume As it came out Of his hands
the volume was written entirely in
Aramaic.
The present form of the Old Tesla
ment-He MISUNDERSTANDING to Profess
sor Naville, was only reached about
, the time of the Christian era, and it
is supposed that the Jewish spirit of
exclusiveness supplied the motive for
the fresh transformation.
THE writings were in Aramaic, the
language of a considerable literature;
they might be confused with other
writings. The rabbis, therefore. found
it necessary to give to their books a
national character and appearance.
They turned them into Hebrew, the
idiom spoken by their fathers, Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob, which was,
certainly, their own language that of
Jerusalem. 1t was a language which
they did not share with any other
people.
The two sides of Professor Naville's
theory, says a French critic, are the
finds of the Tell-el-Amorna tablets
and some later cuneiform inscriptions
on the one hand, and the Eelephantine
Papyri on the other. The former serve
him as an indisputable proof that
during the time of the eighteenth
DSSp1al uyletStS, anu lOi Sehlui iSS
later, Babylonian was the only Ian
guage of Canaan. and the latter
provide him with an equally cogent
demonstration that Aramaic, and Ara
maic only, had at one period or an
other succeeded Babylonian as the
literary dialect of the same country.
This whole theory of the professor,
while it has excited great interest
as a theory, is severely dealt with
by scholars, who, among other
things. ask why, If the rabbls turned
the Old Testament into Hebrew at
about the beginning of the Christian
era, it would not have been more nat
ural for them to employ the dialect
of the Mishna rather than classical
Hebrew.

Influenced by warncr.

1t is unfortunate. as the critic men
toned in this article says. that Mr..
Roze has absorbed much of Wagner s
style of writing, for, as the matter
is not equal to the manner, the re-
suit is poor.
As for the actual "reminiscences of
Wagner, especially of "Lohengrin, "
they are many. In hearing a new
work one often feels that it Is Wag-
nerish, so potent Is the spell of the
great master in modern music. with
out being able to give chapter and
verse.
It is certain that there are reminis-
cences in the works of many great
composers, but as the individuality OF
these men develops the "reminiscences
decline. The individuality of William
Roze is declared to be. as yet, a neg
ligible quantity.

A musical friend the other dstr

nv RAYMOND Roze, which had been
sent him from a correspondent in
Europe. The opera was produced inI
Covent Garden in the autumn of last

NY friend had spoken of the opera
because he had been struck by the i'll
luck which the subject had seemed
to bring to those who adopted 1t al
the motif of an opera. He mentioned,
as among these, Verdi, Puccini and
Balfe. certainly all of them veterans
in the art of choosing popular motifs
for the operate stage.

A ColorfuI Book on Egypt.

Egypt in Transition" published In

tone plates and an Introduction by
the Earl of Cromer. The work is the
result of years of study of the po-
litlcal, social and administrative con-
ditions of the country and of many
periods of residence there.
1t is intended, to quote from the
authors preface. ito convey some
account of my impressions of the
territory in that stage of transition
which ensued after the conclusion of
Lord Cromer's great period of recon-
struction and financial readjustment
the stage which lay between the
reconquest of the Sudan by Lord
Kitchener and his return to Cairo
as English agent and consul gem
eral."
Where most descriptions of Egypt
begin with the Nile mouths or the
capital, working upwards toward the
tropical province. Mr.. Low has pre-
ferred to start with the Sudan,
which was the part of the area first
examined at close quarters, and
thence to follow the course of the
great river downwards to the delta
and the sea.

Career of Dr. G. G. VogeL Proposed
as New District Superintendent
Progressive Policy of the Methodist Episcopal Church Is Made
Manifest in Its Choice of So Strong Pulpit Leader for
High Post in Newark.

Rev. DIR, George G. Vogel, pastor of
Centenary Church, was born at West
Saugerties, n. Y. His parents were
Germans. AT the age of seventeen
years he began to teach in a public
school and at twenty was principal of
one of the largest schools in the
township of Saugerties. He made
friends out of strong men, and they
gave him their earnest support.
Subsequently he was graduated from
New York University and Drew
Theological Seminary
The New York University in 1910
conferred on him the degree of ID. D.,
and the following year Dickinson Col
lege, one of the oldest Methodist in
situations, conferred the same degree.
While still in the seminary DR..
Vogel was sent to Wesley School, in
Paterson. to open that work. At
Paterson be bought lots, built a neat
chapel, gathered 200 members, and
left a church prosperous.
Arlington, N. j.. and Haverstraw,
n. Y, invited him, and he chose to
go to Arlington, where two years of
service left his impress that Arlington
is unwilling to forget.
In his second year in Arlington he
was called to Embury Church, Brook
Ign, but the cabinet voted unani-
mously that he was needed in the
Newark Conference and that they did
not wish Bishop Vincent to transfer
him to Brooklyn. So he was sent to
Emory Church, Jersey City.
Builds n New Church.
At Emory Church he paid debt
of about $4,000 and erected the beau
tiful new church editice at cost of
more than $4,000, leaving only $4,000
debt on the entire plant The congre-
cation rapidly grew, until the MEM
bership was about 1000, and it was
the most commanding Protestant
church in Hudson county, Here was
spent ten years, 1900-1910.
Although the church expected his
return, Bishop Anderson appointed
him to Centenary Church, Newark,

The After House.

Although 1t Is only five years since
Mrs. Rinehart made her first success
with 1.-THE Circular Staircase" she
most ingenious creator of mystery
and a writer of leading ability and
versatility.
1.-THE After House" Is story full
of mystery and thrills which send de-
licious shivers down the spinal
column. A yachting trip shifts from
what is meant to be a pleasant
change into grewsome tragedy, with
everyone on board under suspicion of
murder. Situations are tense and
clue after clue is followed up only
to prove worthless. The only steady
thing in the story is the love affair,
and even that is balanced so delicate
ly that one breathes q sigh of relief
when at the very end things turn out
all right as one never thought they
could.
While 1t is always safe to assume
that a mystery story by Mrs. Rine-
hart will be exciting and fascinating,
it by no means follows that her
stories are always mystery stories.
Some of her shorter pieces show a
tenderness and simplicity surprising
when compared with the faithful
gruesomeness of detail with which
she recreates a murder THE Cir
cular Staircase "The Man in Lower
Ten" when a Man Marries" and
THE Amazing Adventures of Letitia
Carberry" are q few of Mrs. Rine-
harris best known stories while to

How the Familiar Church Pos
ter of Newark Aids the Wor-
shipper Whose Hearts Heavy.

HERE are indications Of the
efforts of the clergy of Newark
to touch the hearts Of their fiocks IN
some of the poster signs that may be
noticed in the porticoes Of their
churches, or leaning against the lin
tells. One announcing the sermon of
Rev. Mr.. Rose, of the Church of the
Redeemer. in Broad street, will sug-
gest sad thought to the wayfarer.
The legend, printed in broad let
tiers, is, Are You Satisfied with Your
Life" The legend noticed in the
same spot last week was one regard
ing the longing for appreciation.
Such topics rs these appeal to the
human heart. Before one enters the
church, even, one longs TO know what
the minister will say that viii soothe
his heart. or nourish his soul The
keynote is struck before the worship
or sits down to open his spirit to
the message of the church, given
through him who is called of God.
Below are the programs Of the ser
vices in the other churches in this

THE LURE OF THE UNKNOWN.

I've often wondered, for the nonce,
What people do when they ensconce.
I've sat on sofas and on chairs,
On davenports and on the stairs,
On hammocks and piazza swings;
On ruined thrones of ancient kings.
But. whether upon this or that,
I'VE simply. solely, plainly sat.
And ere I'm laid upon the shelf,
Pm anxious to ensconce myself.
It's often done in story books
Mostly editions de luxe,
Where ladies of patrician mien,
ALFRED in robes of silken sheen.
Ensconce themselves on divans rich,
Behind the arras--in niche
1Or some such place, at any rate;
/ am not sure l have 1t straight
And when they are ensconced, they
meet
Some great adventure-dire or sweet
OF course, l count such things az
naught.
Twas but passing, idle thought.
But I'd ensconce just once, to see
What then would happen unto mel

believing he was the one man to meet
q critical situation.
So well has he met 1t that the
church is unit in wishing his return
for the fifth year. During the four
years not a discordant note has been
struck-peace and prosperity and
progress are evidenced everywhere.
During this pastorate he has built
the Berkeley Chapel, which is now a
branch of Centenary Church, and also
the beautiful new parsonage, 200 Mt
Prospect avenue, at a cost of more
than $4,000, on which already more
than $4,000 has been paid, and three
thousand on subscription is being
paid.
His Parsonage joy.
This parsonage will be a joy to
pastors and people alike during the
years to come. The membership OF
Centenary is stronger today than ever,
her benevolences larger, her activities
greater. Centenary is united peo-
pie, and If DR.. Vogel leaves ii will be
with great reluctance.
If, as some believe, he is made dis
trict superintendent, DR.. Vogel will
then rent house in this neighbor-
hood and make Centenary his family's
church home. 1t is believed that he
will make a good district superin-
tendent because besides being a
strong preacher he is constructive
leader. Strong men naturally take to
him and believe in his open frankness
and his sincerity.
He knows what he wants and what
ought to be and possesses the ability
of making others share the same feel
ing His ministry has been on such
a high plane and distinguished with
such success that the minister of the
largest as we'll as the smallest
churches will be glad of his council
and most willing to cooperate with
him in any program he may project.
Not in years has so strong leader
been taken from great church and
placed on a district, but this is part
of the new policy of church efficiency
which the Methodist Church is in
augurating.

theme is that of David and Jonathan.
