acholars with much important now material, particularly on the texts of St.

| John and St. Luke,

The text of the 16th chapter of St. Mark's Gospel contains, after verso 14, somo verses which occur in no other manuscript of the New Testament, and include as the words of Christ:--

The limit of the years of the power of Satan is (not) fulilled, but it draweth near: for the sake of those that i have sinned was I given up unto death, that they may return unto the truth! and sin no more, but may inherit thei spiritual and incorruptible glory of righteousness in heaven.

THE NEW TEXT,

About six years ago the lively interest of Biblical students was aronsed by a renord of the discovery of a now. Greek manuscript of the Gospels, rivalling in nge the great codices which are the basis of the textual criticism of the New Testa- ment. It had been found in Egypt. the home of so many literary discoveries; but instead of being a tattered fragment of a papyrus, roll from the rubbish heans of a lost town, it was a complete volume on vellum, which must have been preserved intact in a monastery or a tomb. It is secret to say that this revealing no precious manuscript (with the others that were found with it) would have had a good chance of finding its way, like so many others, to the British Museum; but its destiny was altered by the presence in Egypt of a rich and cultivated Ameri can, Mr. C. L. Freer (owner, among other treasures, of a wonderful collection of Chinese and Japanese paintings). who, being on the spot with money in his purse, was able to secure the prize. Nor, con sidering the interest which America ha always taken in the Bible, need one regret that Washington should rank with Rome, St. Petersburg, London, Cambridge, and Paris, as the possessor of one of the most valuable and ancient copies of the Greek New Testament,
