NEW LIGHT ON
SOME MIRACLES

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 29.--At yes
terday afternoons session Of the an
nual meeting OF the Society Of Biblical
Literature and Exegesis, at Haverford
College, after stating that tho gospel
Of st. Matthew is founded on two OLD
narratives. one of which asserted the
natural birth of Jesus and the other
the miraculous, Professor BENJAMIN
W. Bacon. Yale University, said yes
terday that ne personally does not be
lieve the version indicating the mirac-
ulous birth.
IT personally do not believe Jesus
was born miraculously," he said, but
that has nothing to do with my pa
per"
Professor Bacon said his paper is
based on the Aramaic manuscript or
Matthew, which was found on Mount
Sinai by two English women. This
reads as follows: Jacob begat Jo-
seph, and Joseph. TO whom was es-
poused Mary. a virgin, begat Jesus.
The early Christian imagination.
which saw something miraculous In
the name OF Jesus, insisted also IN
introducing into the miraculous story
of his birth. the professor said.
ISraeIites Never in Egypt
Prof. Paul Haupt, OF Johns Hop

revision OF biblical texts and com
ments on the Scriptures have aroused
discussion from time to time. said
yesterday afternoon that the Israel
ties we're never in Egypt. but that
Edomites. ancestors OF the Jews,
we're. The narrative OF Joseph, he
declared, is but an allegorical en-
bellishment
According to the professor. the
Jews and the Israeltes met in Pales-
tine. The Israelites came down from
the North in 400 3. c.. while the
Jews, under King David. marched NJ
from the South and conquered the
Israelites in Palestine in 1000 b. C
He declared, further, the idea that
there was but one God existed in
Egypt long before the Jews went
there and that Moses married 8
daughter OF one OF these priests Of
the Sun Of God at Heliopolis. Ths
was Jethro.
Biblical Censorship.
Professor Haupt touched on the cen
sorship exercised by the early rewritten
OF the Bible, referring, as an example
to section of Proverbs. retOuched b
the writers, he said, for fear OF castin
aspersion on Noah. "The early Hebre'
censors were as arbitrary as the moder
