RELIGIODS NOTES
The last Great Discovery
at Mount Sinai.
Our readers will remember that an
English lady Mrs. Agnes S. Lewis,
nriade' two years ago a visit to the
Greek Monastery at, Mount Sinai, for
the particular purpose of examining
the libiary there aad weeing if she
could not discover other valuable
manuscripts that were, not seen,, by
Tischeddorf- Rendel Harria and
other visitor. She had the advant
age of being able to read Syriao, and
she could not talk Greek with the
monks. They gave her rpecial pri
vileges, and she round an old palim
psest on which, under a later text,
there was a halNeffuced very anc!ent
Syriac text. She took photographs
of some leaves, brougkt them to Eng
land where they w re examined by
the Syriac and New Testament
scholars. . Messrs. Hensley. Rendel
Harris and Burkitt, who discovered
that they contained a text of the
Gospels in a Syriac version much
like what is called the Curetonian.
As that is the oldest Syriao version
these schalars hurried off to Mount
Sinai to copy the manuscript, assurs
ed that it wc uld be of great value to
biblical scholarehip. This they ac
complished, and the text has just
been issued from the press. It fuU
fills the best hopes of the discovers.
The manuscript itself was probab
ly written about 400 A. D.. or per
haps fifty years earlier. The text is a
translation of nearly thewnole of
lhe four Gospels in Syriac, not tlie
old Peshitta. but an even older trans
lation, which we mu3t call the Old
S3rriac, and which was made about
150 A. D. It is hlder than TatUn's
Diate3saron, or harmony of the Gos
pels which we know wa- produced
170 to 180 A. D., and which nearly
occupied the field In thi Syrian
churches. -The' text has been affects
ed somewhat by the Diatessaron, but
perhaps not at all by any Greek in
fluences, so toat, when we eliminate
the alterations m-dc from Tatiai, we
have a new and most important testi
mony to the. condition of the Greek
text from which it was translated as
early as the middle of the second
century
This is before the various
families of Greek texts were fully
developed so that it will be of greal
help in deciding between their vari
ous readings. In character, it is
most nearly allied to three of the
three of the most ancient and best
Greek manuscripts. It may be said
that its readings are rather Wests
em." but without the Western" ad
ditions.
This newly dlscbvered text omits
the last twelve verses of Mark, there
in agreeing with all the best old au
ments, whole testimony it reverses
It does not have the story of the wo
man taken in adultery, nor the dox-
ology at the end of the Lord's Pray
er. It omits the bloody sweat in
Luke xxii, 44. 46, and the '-Father,
forstive them passage, Luke xxii.
ably enough omits neither the Son.'
with the Textus Receptus in Matt.
a m . a. . I W x
xxiv, 36. it agrees wim vue uiaiesx
aaron in reading: "Behold Christ
cometh, and wnen he cometli be will
te.l us every thing, in John iv 25.
The most remaikable readings are in
the first : chapter ot Mat hew. and it
seems aa if some editor or copyist
had altemped to reserve the testi
mony lo the miraculous birth of oar
Lord, but had not carried out bis in -
tenlion. In verse 17 it reads:
. . .
Jacob begat Joseph; Joseph, to
whom was betrothed Mary the Vir -
gin, Dcgat uesus wuo is caueu
. . i ii
Christ," ihus makmg Joseph tlie ac-
tual father of Jesus; and accord-gl3
-He married his wife and site bare
him a son. etc The tunse of
these changes m1 omissioms is obs
vioua. and yet we have the most des
finite olatemeuts or tue miraculous
irtu retaineti in verse i: -one was
I . ,nv,.Man . ..Tn-t which i
be bom of her is of the Holy Spirit.
We are sure that this discovery
will be hai ed as the most important
of the centucy in its line since the
disdoverv of the other famous Va i
can manuscript by Tischeudorf m the
same tnona.l-ry. and that it will be
most carefully studied by students.
But us chief value will be found in,
tbe fact that it is a new and most im-
the f.;ur Gosrels in their present
form at a time when many critics
have declared tat thev were not yet
written, ami that ihey then were acs

Nov 23. Dr. Robert L. Abernethj',
Pr. sident of Rutherford College
Died here to-day. Dr. Abernethy
has suffered great bodily affliction
all his life, but he has been unusually
feeble for some time. The deceased !
was born in Lincoln county, April 3,
1822. His surroundings were very
humbe, though his parents were of
ancient and honorable ancestry, '
By bis own efforts Dr. Abernethy
secured the rudiments of an educa
tion, and his whole life has been a
sulking example of a self-made
man
He received bis degree f.o n Trin-
ity College in 1869 and Las ever
since devotea uis tue to teacuing.
He founded and built up Rutherford
College, which began as a school or
eiht pupils. Over 2.000 indigent
students have since been gratuiously
educated there.
