It Was a Scholarly Discourse and Interested and Instructed a Large AudienceFacts of Importance to Every Christian. At the meeting of the Glens Falls Lyceum last evening Rev.

W. 0. Stearna delivered lecture on "The Manuscripta of the Bible." The diecourse was of especial interest, inasmuch as it departed from the beaten paths of Lyceum controverey and dealt with a topic which few men thoroughly understand. It also showed that essayist had traveled far down the vista of scriptural research. M.

B. Little presided in the absence of President J. A. Kellogg. The audience completely filled the pretty chapel of the Baptist 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: the facts up to date?" The facts concerning our Bible manu scripts have not been known always. They have increased, in number during the last hundred years with surprising rapidity. The student of history 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 ment, as shown in the possibilities of steam and electricity, but aleo in the marvelous awakening of the potential agencies of Christianity.

Our word is not a biblical word. The Old Testament writings were found in the synagogues of the men who wrote the New Testament. They refer to them as "the holy scriplaw," etc. Our word began to tures," "the sacred writings," the be applied to the sacred writings not earlier than 400 years after Christ. It in a Greek noun in the plural, and signifles "books" or "little These writings were called by this name for 800 years.

About the thirteenth century they began to be spoken of as a single book. The terms Old and New Testament are Bible worde, although not used to describe the books we now know by these titles. Paul calle the old dispensation the "old covenant," and the Greek speaking Christians afterward used the phrases "old covenant" and "new covenant." The Latine referred to 1 the scriptures as "Testamentum Antiquam" and "Testamentum Novum." When Paul was a prisoner at Rome he -wrote to his disciple Timothy for his cloak, his "books and his parchments." The books were "biblia," bibles, and the -parchments were the skins of animals upon which the text of the book was written. This suggests the question, "What was the Bible of Christ and His. disciples His Bible was the Old Teetament 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 versally by the Jews of Christ's time, who had ceased to speak Hebrew.

The Bible of Jesus was in rolls, and sometimes included within the covers the Apocrypha, or books lacking authenticity or sacredness, but the main thought of the reader's mind would always be given to the law or prophet, and the Apocrypha would hardly be known. Jesus never quoted from it. The Bible of Jesus and Elis apostles wus 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 history 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 not stand the test being rejected. In transcribing the sacred 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, corroborating the old writings and proving their authenticity. The lecture was replete in reference to old manuscript copies of the Bible, and paid high tribute to the scholars of the old days who labored so faithfully and painstakingly in transcribing the poriptures 88 we have them today. Asa compendium of Bible history the lecture in full would be a valuable work in the Sunday school and family.

The subject was discussed by Dr. Martine, Dr. Farr, the Rev. V. Gris mer, the Rev.

John R. Crosser, Profes. sor Gunn and M. B. Little.

The next lecture will be delivered by C. F. Randall on the subject of "'Life St. Alphonsus' Church Fair. The annual fair and festival under the auspices of the ladies of St.

Alphonaus' church will begin at the opera house on Wednesday evening of next week and continue for five nights. On Saturday afternoon there will be a matinee for children. Holcomb's and the Juvenile band orchestras will give concerta at intervals during the fair, and other new and entertaining features will be introduced. WILL APPEAL THE SMITH CASE.

The work will be commenced at once at the Sherman avenue end and as much of the new pipe as possible will be put down before winter sets in.

WOOLEY'S LECTURE. Hie Subject, 'Christian Citizenship," Listened to by n' Large Audience. John G. Wooley, of Chicago, the noted temperance lecturer and evangelist, made his second appearance in Glens Falls last night, and for over AN hour and a half talked to an audience that taxed the seating capacity of the Methodist Episcopal church. In fact there was scarcely standing room so great was the attendance.

A large number came up from Sandy Hill and Fort Edward on special cars. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Tritton, president of the local Woman's Christian Temperance union, under whose auspices the lecture was held.
