Gradual Decline
 "Whlle everything recorded thus Far indicates that, for the first time ln several years, 1887 may show a slight gain in the birth rate, the effects of the lowered rate are shown by our statistics on vaccina- tions," the doctor said. "Waterbury's birth rate has been falling off con- siderably since the war, actually. The peak was reached that same year when we had the influenza epi- demic and our highest mortality rate, 1918. There has been steady decrease since then. Only now Is there possibility that the ebb has been reached and that, once again, a normal gain may be recorded"
 The health department has been busy during this week with vaccina- tions and examinations of those children entering school for the first time. Vaccination against smallpox Is compulsory. Later in the year, after the Christmas recess, parents will De asked to agree to immunization treatment, the inoculation of a tox- old, against diphtheria, Regarding this, the doctor said:
 Danger of Dphtheria
 Tt Is imperative that parents realize that the danger of diphtheria Is not confined to any one season although it Is more prevalent dur ang the cold weather. The fact that we have had more than double the

 q. What are the oldest Snanu- scripts of the Bible in existence?
 A. The oldest manuscripts of the Bible in existence are the
 Vatican, sinaitic and Alexan- drian;, until recently in the possession respectively of the three great branches of the Christian church; the Alexan- drian belonging to Protestant England, and kept in the Tnanu- script room of the British MtiaAlfYf1. thA Vdtican. in the Vatican Library at Rome, and the property of the Roman Catholic church; and the Sinaitic, one of the treasures of the Greek church. These manuscripts show the Bible as 1t existed soon after Apostolic Days.
 Tn December, 1883, the sin- aitic manuscript was purchased for the British government from the Soviet government of Russia for 100000 pounds (about e60Q,0Q0) and was placed in the British Museum in London.
 Other important manuscripts are the Codex Ephraenii of the fifth century, the Codes Bezae containing the Gospels and Acts. and the Washington Manuscript of the Gospels. The last was bought in Egypt in 1908 by c. L. Freer for the United States.

There will not be much religion in c nation unless there is religion in its homes. The quality of Q nations life could be very well determined from it's home life.
 The Bible Is c great textbook of home and family life. The Hebrew scriptures would seem to be almost Uhique in the ancient world in the high idealism that they attached to family relationships. Among pagan peoples who even had considerable culture. 1t was not thought incon- sistent with good practice to expose the weak and the aged to death; but Hebrew children were taught to love and honor their parents, and the Hebrew scriptures again and again bear evidence Of the deep of. lection of parents for their children.
 At 6 later time the Jews are fore. most in education, and the Jewish boy of i2 in the time of Jesus had Q training that would compare favor. ably with what the boy of today TO. ceives under Q modern educational system.
 Tn some respects, perhaps, the training was deeper and more effec- tive. Here in this lesson from the early life of Israel, there iS strong insistence upon the teaching of children in the home, the training of them in the great traditions and principles of their national religious life, and the strengthening of them for all the duties and responsibilities of life.
 There Is 6 sort of imperialistic note in this lesson in the idea of Q strong nation dispossessing other peoples and driving them out; and oil this does not measure very prop. erly with the ideals of New Testa- ment religion, which is the religion of love even to enemies, and the religion of mercy and justice.
 But apart from this imperialism of an unadvanced age, the sort of imperialism that is still too rain- pant in c world that has not pro. greSsed to the heights of New Testa- inent teaching, the teaching of this lesson is sound in It's suggestion that the strength of c nation de- pends upon the relationships of its people in their home and daily life.
 We read an ancient lesson in terms of Christian fuihllment of old Testament ideas. What makes Q Christian home2 First of oil, c sense of the responsibility of parents to God. A home cannot be Christian where parents themselves do not

O. What was the origin of the priesthood In ancient Isreal?

RhV1WAAVVA AhA SAASAGAAS AoASOse
 A. Prof. Herbert II. Willett answers: In early Hebrew days there was 50 special order of men constituting Q priesthood. Every man was both ruler and priest in his own family. The sheikh of c village would natur- ally exercise the same functions in behalf of the community. Tn 6 similar manner the kings of Israel offered sacrifices In be- half of the nation. Saul, David and Solomon are represented as ininistering in this manner. There appears to have been no restriction of priestly ministries to any one tribe or family group, although members of the clan of Levi may have been favored in the employment of village priests owing to the prestige of the name of Moses, and the fact that they were too few to hold any tribal area.
 The development of an order of priests, with ranks from high priest down to common priests, Levites and Nethinim, or temple servants, was Q gradual process. By their own efforts their priv- ileges were augmented and their rewards increased. The earlier sources make no mention of the ofilce of high priest. The first notice of . superior priest is in connection with the discovery Of the law book a Kings 22:4, i0) where TIikiah is called the high priest. But this may be due to the custom prevailing In the age of the writer, or to revision in the period of the priest code. The first authentic reference to Q high priest by Q contemporary writer is Zechariali's statement regarding Joshua the high priest"

a generally dull marketing situation
at domestic markets.
Although the general tone Of the

easy, firm situation continued in
