SAVIOR LEFT NO WRITINGS
World is Without Authentic lnforma-
ton Of Any Manuscripts Tran
scribed by His Hand.

We have no authentic information
of Jul Savior Christ's ever writing
anything excepting once in the sand.
One tradition asserts that he wrote a
letter to an African monarch, but
there is no proof of it. None of the
New Testament books claim to have
been written by Him. The oldest tx
listing manuscripts Of the New Tesla
ment date from the third century A.
d. There are four Of these which are
known as uncial or Capital letter MSS.
and are written on parchment in mar
row columns, generally four to the
parchment width. One is, or was, at
Petrograd, one in. Oxford university,
one in Paris, and one in Rome. There
r many later cursiye Tor small let
ter) manuscripts. But much Of the
New Testament and o of the Old
Testament may be gathered from early
Christian writings dating from the
Apostolic ages. Our English Bibles,
Old and New Revised Versions, are
translated from the original languages.
LIE NOlu LColdAACnI was mOoI SSAup-
ulously preserved by the Jews down
to the Christian era, and is trans
lated directly from the original He
brew and Chaldaic In u English ver-
.sions. A valuable translation Of the
Old Testament into Greek made at
Alexandria by seventy Jewish schol-
ars, known as the Septuagint Is Of
great value to translators.

that a crisis was near in that tired

to snap-but she told the nurse that

Selma Sings
By DOROTHY DOUGLAS

20 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)
Selma was the possessor Of a won
derful voice. She had beauty, success
and a fund Of good health. Her
health, however. she preserved with
great care, and took her walks as reg
ularly as a well-running clock ticks.
Each afternoon, hail or snow, saw
Selma in 'low-heeled boots and COM
Portable walking costume leaving her
house in the lower Forties for her
constitutional of an hour between five
and six o'clock. And although Sc
lima had success, health and most all
the good things that life had to offer,
she still had failed to find the one
greatest of all gifts.
Selma had never loved richly, seri-
ously nor yet even happily, and she
had reached the age Of thirty-three.
It. was not that Selma vas Of q
cold temperament-far from II. But
It had seemed to her that the men
who had loved her could easily do
without her. They all were self-suf-
ficient and she would eve Ali the
vital place In their lives that she felt
love ought to fill. She was curiously
hampered by a perhaps exaggerated
sense ofo desire to be- an absolute
part Of the man who loved her. She
wanted a man to be that essential
element In her own life-if she were
to really love.
Many Of these thoughts were what
passed through her mind while she
took her daily walk, and divers prob.
. lems were happily solved during the
constitutional hour.
: Selma had not realized that in one
of the houses she passed her voice, re
produced into it's glorious perfection
was daily listened to with eager ears
by a nerve-worn, weary hero Of the
war. ~.*
But one evening when a soft ,dusl

I'm a fool-a perfect tool, over
your voice." he said slowly, and gazed
with all his soul In his tired eyes at
Selma as II not realizing that she
actually stood before him.
His nerves were at swapping point.
Selma knew that he was having a
great mans fight to retain control.
"You sang for us over there" he
added. II have forgotten your
volce-it is the only thing on the face
Of the earth that gives me a Sec
ond's rest from-havoc."
Selma had a mament Of inner
thanksgiving that she had been per-
mitted to pass this particular house
and, enter therein. :
II am going to sing, them" she said
gladly, and every day until you are
tired hearing me I will come and
sing any. songs you want to hear"
She smiled her rich, womanly smile
directly into John Hayward's heart.
She sang, and the sweetness and
emotional timbre of her voice with It's
wonderful essence Of potential energy
and life stirred the soul Of Hayward
as it had not been moved in many a
long month.
The song was just a simple little
thing. A bit Of hope and love and
cheer. -.
But it snapped the tension in Hay
wards nerves: the yer long pent up
control broke and he sobbed az only
a strong man a sob.
Selma looked at the nurse and mo-
toned her to leave them alone. She
understood just what this breaking Of
the floodgate would mea to the jag
ged nerves. Calm would follow and
then a steady return to serene
thought.
She went over and put her arm gen.
tly across his shoulders. After a mo-
ment he looked up at her.
"I'm a fool" he repeated, "but your
voice sweeps the very foundations
away. Don't think I carry on this way
often-1 haven't done it-not in years.
Please forgive me-"
An almost imperceptible movement
gave his head greater shelter against
Selina's arm. She looked into his eyes
and the light in her W was very
wonderful to behold. The man who
could not do without her-the one
who would one day look to her for his
entire cup of happiness and to whom
the greatness of her nature would flow
out and offer it's big sacrifices and wor-
ship-that man was resting against
the mothering warmth Of her arms.
She left him after q short time,
wanting him to think and realize that
he was on the path back to health
of mind and body.

he had confided to her. "The facts
have been wearing my nerve away
inch by inch. You have stayed the
devastating progress. I will soon
show you that I am a man and not a
child" he said with earnest eyes fixed
on Selma. But you must com and
sing to me for a time until I And my
self quite able to forget. You will

"Weak." said Selma softly. : mo!

Hayward and Selma possessed many
great gifts, but the. greatest of all was
now their own.

crumpled up the picture of a plain

basket.
Then, after hopping her eyes with
her handkerchief and dabbing her
pretty nose with a bit of powder, ,she
put on a shabby Jacket, mended

Jpst as Persis was passing young

THE SHIPPING SLUMP.

The reports that come from the ship
ping business, whether from the freight
or the construction side of that industry,
point to the world as whole having
more than made up the losses of war, and
there are now more ships than there is
freight offering. Rate cutting is wide
spread, but as was noted in the case of
some staples while ago, lower freights
seem to bring out only small business,
owing, it is said, to the reduced interna-
tional trade moving. On the construc-
ton side of the case it may be said that
with hundreds of ships tied up, said to be
one quarter of the entire fleet, the Ship
ping Board finds it hard to get business
for its vessels, which are handicapped in
the world competition for business by
acts of Congress-, which were devised,
apparently, for the purpose of making
shipping expensive rather than cheap.
