B. U. K), 190 . .r .1 I mm w -9 m m jtij ur Of WD saaw How Do We Know That Bible Manuscripts Are Really Genuine ? By ERASMUS WILSON. In spite of veneration for the Bible, and a belief that It Is the word of God, that is almost Inborn In every Christian child, there la still a desire In the heart of nearly every one to know the origin of the manuscripts Irom which the Book was compiled. Of course, it was not written, much less printed, from the beginning, nor was It handed down to man In written or printed form. The Ten Command ments were said to have been writ ten on tables, or tables of stone. The manuscripts, after the inven tlon of writing, were made up from the memories of those who had mem orlzed them, and whose duty it was to repent them to the people. Mr. W. C. Lyne, of the Tliiid Pres byterlnn Church, gave a talk before the Pittsburg adult Bible class in the East Liberty Presbyterian Church on Sunday afternoon last on this subject that was intensely interesting and highly instructive. The Sources of the Bible. After showing that the sources from which the accepted Bible was made up were ancient manuscripts, Mr. Lyne said that none of the orig inal records from which these manu scripts were compiled are known to be in existence, but there can be no donbt as to the genuineness of the copies. A feature of much interest was the exhibit by the speaker of a rare old manuscript written by monks on vel lum 500 years ago before printing was invented. This rare curio was il luminated with beautiful initial let tering in gold, and exquisite minia ture paintings executed years before Raphael's famous frescos and paint ings upon canvas. The work of these old artists upon the vellum retain a freshness in coloring and delicacy in technique that was most suggestive of how durable work on manuscript was. The speaker also circulated among the audience facsimile prints of the three oldest Bible manuscripts in the World, and by means of these gave an interesting Idea of the character of the original writings and the care taken in transcribing. He also gave n intelligent reason why some por tions of our present Bible wefe omit ted as doubtful authority in the new revised version. The romantic discovery by Tlsch indorf in a basket of rubbish in an old convent at the foot of Mount Sinai of the most valuable manu script in existence Just as the monks were about to commit it to the flames, was made more interesting by prints of the Convent of St. Catherine, and facslmilies of the Sinaitic manuscript now held by the Czar of Russia. Incrrency of Manuscript. While, he did not claim absolute ln errency for accepted manuscripts, Mr. Lyne showed that no important doc trine or fact had been disturbed by comparing existing records with man uscripts buried from sight and the knowledge of scholars for 1500 years. Jewish manuscripts had always been placed in the most guarded places, the copies of the old Jewish law be ing placed In the ark of the covenant and temple and in times of danger rescued from destruction as by Jos ephus in the days of Titus, when the temple was burning. The copying and transmitting of manuscripts has been guarded with such scrupulous care that convincing proof of their integrity and genuine ness was furniBhed by knowledge of facts. Scribes were bound by solemn oath to make no change of word or letter, and were required to record the number of words, the middle verse and letter of manuscript, and even the number of times a certain letter began words. Then, too, the rival academic schools of both Ces aera and Babylon watched with Jeal ous care the work of the other. Later on both Jew and Gentile were vigilant in watching the fidelity of the other in copying records, and by a singular coincidence the three most valuable manuscripts of the Bible were in the separate possession of the three great branches ,of the Christian church. The Alexandrian manuscript was in the keeping of the Anglican church in the British Mu seum; the Vatican manuscript was held by the church of Rome in the Vatican, and the Sinaitic manuscript was held by the Greek church at St. Petersburg. Such remarkable safeguards were not accidental, but wise design for perpetuating the pur ity and genuineness of Biblical rec ords. Different Versions. In discussing tne versions of the Bible he passed rapidly from the septulgent to the vulgate, and then after speaking of the unique work of Wickliffe and Tyndal amidst great opposition, culminating in disinterring the bones of the former and cast ing his ashes upon the river Swift, and the latter after being exiled from England to Germany, and printing his great translation, being impris oned and finally strangled to death. Growing out of the manuscripts of Wickliffe and the printed Bibles of Tyndal, influenced too by Luther's labor in Biblical work, there came the scholarly work known as the Ge neva Bible, or "Breeches Bible." A copy of this version was exhibited by the speaker with the remark that It was not only a volume older than the plays of Shakespeare, but was printed about fifty years before the first book was printed in America, and years before the Mayflower sailed to America or the English set. tied at Jamestown. The historical Interest of this book was Increased by the fact that it was the most popular household Bible In English use before our present Bible was published and that it was the first Bible marking off verses for easy reference, and was of special inter est because of the quaint wording claiming that Eve wore breeches in the Garden of Eden, the forerunner of the popular woman's rights move ment. But aside from its quaint peculiar ities it probably was largely Influen tial in getting King James to au thorize the issue of our present Bible, and In explanation of this statement it was shown that in this old Pres byterian Bible there were printed marginal notes which sanctioned legal disobedience of the king, a most of fensive doctrine to King James, who believed in the Stuart doctrine of the divine rights of kings, and that James was also very touchy upon another marginal note which indirectly ap proved of the execution of his mother, Mary Queen of Scots. The King James Version. In order to get a version free from political and sectarian marginal notes King James directed that fifty-four of the foremost scholars in the realm should make a careful translation of the accepted manuscripts regardless of political or theological bias. This wise provision has been one cause of making the Bible of to-day universally popular among Protestant believers, until now its annual print ed issue Is 10,000,000 copies. The prayer of Tyndal that the eyes of the king might be opened was answered three years after his death by the Bible being placed in every parish church of England a few years after the fires of Smltbfleld had opened up the way of martyrdom to England's foremost Bible students. The earnest scholarly labors of foremost Bible students in Europe and America have given the revised version to Protestantism, and this great contribution to intelligent ap preciation of the latest and most au thentic Bible records while meeting with opposition, naturally would ul timately work out as other great ver sions had done over similar opposi tion, a fixed and honored position In the minds and hearts of those in quest of truth In its genuineness and original Btrength. From the Pitts burg Gazette Times. JAPANESE LABOR POORLT PAID. Low Wages and Workman Not a Suc cess as Machine Operators. Writing from Vladivostok of a visit to Japan, Special Agent Roland R. Dennis says of the efficiency of labor of that country: "A visit to Japan tends to disprove the theory that cheap labor insures cheap production of output. The Japanese in many directions, especial ly in cablnetmaklng, is an expert and finished workman. Although he uses an infinitesimal plane and planes to ward himself, and his handsaw looks like an overgrown butcher knife with saw teeth cut in Its edge, he produces fine work. But give him a machine nearly automatic to .tend and he is not a success. Wire nails are used exclusively in Japan, and hence there is ad immense demand for them. "Among the very many stock com panies formed during the Japanese Russian War, when money was plen tiful, was a wire nail mill. The very latest up-to-date automatic machinery was brought' out from the United States, and everything that money and skill could command was secured to make the mill a great success. As a final step a superintendent was brought from a large mill in Cleve land and put in charge. In spite of all this expenditure of talent, money and time, that man is not able to make nails at a price that at all in terferes with importing and Belling at a satisfactory profit. When asked why he cannot make nails as cheaply as he did in Cleveland the superin tendent replies: 'It Is simply a ques tion of labor. In Cleveland ono man tended and kept running four or five machines; here it takes four or five men to tend one machine, and they don't keep It running as it should at that.' "A large paper mill is having a similar experience. Labor Is cheaply paid, but, being inefficient, it is much more expensive than higher paid efficient labor. I met three Belgians who had been some months in Japan endeavoring to get a window-glass factory on a successful, money-mak ing basis so as to be able to compete with Imported window-glass. They had abandoned the enterprise and were returning home, thoroughly con vinced that Japanese labor was very cheap, but .that it could not be suc cessfully utilized in a branch of man ufacturing to which it was not accus tomed. I "Coolie labor in Japan commands about twenty-five cents a day, al though in Kobe, Yokohama and Na gasaki thirty-seven and one-half and forty cents are being asked and in many cases allowed. All employers of labor were unanimous in declaring that the quality of the services ren dered was going down even faster than the rate Of wages was going up." Consular Report. Women Were Ushers. At the opening of the new theatres in Philadelphia .recently women ush ers asslBted the male ushers in seat ing the vast audience, the young wo men wearing uniforms of black dresses, with white cuffs and collars. This Is the first time women have ever served as ushers, and the result will no doubt be watched with Inter est.' , . EARNEST ADVICE. Rev. G. M. Gray Feels It a Doty to Speak.

Destructive of "nerve," as well as extremely irritating the nerves, clgaret smoking Is a habit that is fully destructive of all those characteristics required of a good soldier.

Too Many Books to Read. We feel the deepest sympathy for those moderns who complain thnt so many books are now published and so noisily advertised that they are be wildered as to choice, and turn back to the old favorites. That, surely Is a thousand times better than adopting the alternative which now seems so popular of not reading at all. What with automobillng, golf, the theater, bridge and the 15-cent magazines, thousands of our most- substantial cit izens are accused by dlscontended booksellers of never opening a book from one year's end to another.

One day Dr. Howe lost his long ondurlng patience. "See here, Mor genthaler, let me show you the dif ference between zero and nothing." With this, Dr. Howe wrote a big 0 on the blackboard.
