Of I dox bhoe rolisft, 10c .10 It Wll Scholarly Ul.eourse ami Inter. ted ud Instructed a Large Audience Facts of IssporUnoe to Every Christian. At the meeting of the Glens Falls Lyceum last evening Rev, W. O. Stearns delivered a lecture on "The Manuscripts of the Bible." The discourse was of especial interest, inasmuch as it departed from the beaten paths of lyceum controversy and dealt with a topio which few men thoroughly understand.

It also showed that the essayist had traveled far down the vista of scriptural research. M. B. Little presided in the absence of President J. Kellogg, The audience completely, filled the pretty chapel of the Btptist church.

A subject of this.nature, Mr. Stearns said, calls for a fair and unprejudiced statement of the facts. It is a subject admitting, but little discussion. The only question demanding imperative answer is! "Are the facts up to date?" The facts concerning pur Bible manu -scripta have not been known always. They have Increased in number during the last hundred years with surprising rapidity.

The student of hittory In the latter -days of the twentieth century will remark that the nineteenth century was a century of new forces, not merely in the line of material develop ment, as shown in the possibilities of steam" and electricity, but also in the marvelous awakening of the potential agencies of Christianity. Our word Bible" is not a biblical word. The Qld writings SS0Uto4J1-Mto'1ylMWtte the men yho wrote tae New Testament. They refer to them as "the holy scriptures," "the sacred writings," "the law," eto. Our word "Bible" began to be applied to the sacred writings not earlier than 400 years after Christ.

It is a Greek noun in the plural, and signifies "books" or "little bjoks." These writings were called by this name for 800 years. About the thirteenth century they began to bespoken of as a single book. The terms Old and New Testament are Bible words; although not used to describe the books we now know by these titles. Paul calls the old dispensation the "old covenant," and the Greek speaking Christians afterward used the phrases "old covenant" and "new covenant." The Latins referred to the scriptures as "Testamen- tum Antiquum" and "Testamentum Novum." When Paul was a prisoner at Rome hewrote to his disciple Timothy for his cloak, his books and bis parchments."

AT J.

S. POWERS mt Subject, "Christian Citizenship," Lis. toned to hy a Large Audience. John G. Wooley, of Chicago, the noted temperance lecturer and evangelist, nude his tecond appearance in Glens Falls last night, and for over an hour and a half talked to an audience that taxed the seatingcapacity of the Methodist Episcopal church." In fact there was scarcely standing room so great was the attendance.

(urge number came up from Sandy Hill and Fort Edward on special cars. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Trjtton, president of the local Woman's Chrintiun Temperance union, under whose auspices the lecture was held: From half -past seven until eight o'clock an organ recitul was given by Professor James J. Donnelly, the program including four numbers. Mr.

Donnelly received antbusiastio applause. Prayer was offered by the ltd v. H. K. Keates, of the Friends' church, after which Mr.

Wooley was introduced oy the president The speaker took for his subject 'Christian Citizenship," and his discourse was lietened to attentively throughout. It was similar in many respects to aft temperance lectures. Perhaps Mr. Wouley did not oiler any new suggestions, but his delivery and manner of handling the subject were an improvement over the ordinary temperance lecture and he succeeded In holding his audience in good humor until be closed. Mr.

Wooley has another advantage. He i a reformed drunkard himself and is thus enabled to talk from practical experience. Mr. Wooley is a lawyer by profession, but gave up his" practice several years ago to take the lecture field. He receives; $50 a lecture and has engagements for tbe next six months.

At the close of the meeting closed with the benediction by the Rev. O. Blake, of Lake George. A Clever Touug Artist, There should be a large attendance of munic-lovers at the organ recital at the Buptist church on Tnuraday evening. The Hudson Register of a recent date says: 1 Clayton J.

18 WARREN STREET your money back. B. FOWLER No. 1... upon wnioh the text of the book was This the question, "What was the Bible of Christ and His disciples His Bible was the Old Testament as we have it.

It" was' in two forms, in Greek and Hebrew. The Greek translation from the Hebrew was begun about 285 C. and completed about 130 B. C. It was used quite uni versallyby the Jews of Christ's time, who had ceased lo speak Hebrew.

The Bitile of Jesus was in rolls, and some times included within the covers the Apoohrypha, or books lacking authenticity or saorcdneas, but the main thought of the reader's mind would always be given to the law or prophet, and the Apoohrypha would hardly be known. Jesus never quoted from it. The Bible of Jesus and His apostles was in three sections, the law, the prophets and the sacred writings, twenty-four books instead of our thirty-nine, This was the Bible of the early church for a long time. Mr. Stearns traced the of Bible revision from the early days down to the present time, saying that the various books were tested by experience as to authenticity and authority, those that could notstand the tpt hoi nty re.

In- transcribing the eaored writings the utmost care was taken that the original text should not be changed. The lecturer referred to the discovery, from time to time, of manuscripts, tablets, inscriptions in caves, etc, corroborating the old writings and proving their authenticity. The lecture was replete in reference to old manu script oopiea of the Bible, and paid high tribute to the (cholars of the old days who labored so faithfully and painstakingly in transcribing the scripture as we have them today, Asa compendium of Bible history the leotura in full would be a valuable work in the Sunday scnooi and the family.
