Accompanied by Dr. Hunt, Dr.
Grenfell found a rich Ptolemaic
necropolis at E l Hibeh.
The bulk
of the documents from ono mound
consisted of a collection of sayings
of Jesus.
They are all introduced
with the words “ Jesus saith,” aud
for the most part are new.
The
ends of the lines, unfortunately,
are often obliterated.
Apparently
all the sayings were addressed to
St. Thomas.
One of the most re-
markable is:
“ Let not him that seebest cease
from his search until he finds, and
when he finds he shall wonder;

Doal er in R eal E state of all kinds,
Dr. Grenfell remarked that enor
mous interest would be also arous
ed by the discoveries on account of
the variations they disclosed from
accepted texts.
One variant of mystical saying,
recorded in St. Luke, “ The king
dom of God is within you," was of
great value, as the saying in the
papyrus appeared in quite different

W o want your trade, and we are
entitled to it, because we have
good goods, right prices, and can
serve you well. You don’t expect
any more, but you want that much,
don’t you.
According to Dr. Grenfell, these
sayings formed the new Gospel,
which is traditionally associated
with St. Thomas.
An interesting variation of the
Gospel according to St. Luke, elev
enth chapter and fifty-second verse,
“ Woe unto you lawyers, for ye
have taken away the key of knowl
edge; yet entered not in yourselves
and them that were entering in ye
hindered.’’, reads in the papyrus.
“ Ye have hidden the key of knowl
edge, ye ontered not yourselves
and to them that were entering in
ye did not open.’’
Another fragment contained a
discourse of Christ closely related
to passages of the Sermon on the
mount and a conversation between
Christ and his disciples, in which
Christ answers a question ns to
when His kingdom will be realized,
saying:
“ When ye return to the state of
innocence which existed before the
fall.”
A valuable papyrus was found,
written in Latin, giving the text of
the Epistles to the Hebrews and an
epitome of L e v i’s six lost books.
This, with the other papyri, cover
ing the period up to 137 B. C.,
threw much new and valuable
knowledge on the history of the
world and marked the recovery of
unknown classical
literature of
Egypt.
A quaint instar ce of the
business methods in vogue in 137
B. C is shown in the discovery of
an amusing contract, whereby a
slave boy was to be taught short-
hnn for 120 drachmae.
The pay
ment was arranged on a thoroughly
business-like basis— 40 drachmae
down. 40 on satisfactory evidence
of progress aud 40 on the attain
ment of proficiency.
Contract Completed.
A t a special meeting of the com
mon council held on the evening of
the 27th ult, the new city water
works system, which has been in
process of construction for tne part
of ten weeks, under the charge of
Mr. W. H. Mitchell, contractnr,
were pronounced complete and fin
ished and the work was formally ac
cepted by the council, and warrants
amounting to $2775.00, were drawn
for the full final payment of the
contract price and sundry extras,
which were found necessary as the
work proceeded.
Without question our city has at
last obtained a
complete
and
valuable water system worth much
more than it cost as a health-giving,
property saving institution.
Mr.
Mitchell has proved himself to be
an honorable, painstaking contract
or, ably assisted by J. J. Curren, of
Myrtle Point, and both carefully
looked after by our eagle-eyed
friend, L. R. Hughes, who has had
the interests of the city in charge
everyday during the construction
o f the works.
In one respect, however, his du
ties have not been very onerous, as
he had to do with men who had no
disposition to slight or cover up
any defects even if they could, yet
for all that, Mr. Hughes has had no
summer picnic looking after the in
numerable details of
the work.
That, with the rest, he has labored
faithfully to give our city what they
paid for, a good water system,
and will be a happy remembrance
during the remainder of his days.
N or should Surveyor Catheart or
our common council and Mayor be
forgotten, particularly the latter,
who aside from the necessary study
of the situation and attendance upon
many meetings bave also given
much time to 'th e unpaid service,
often going over the ground and
looking personally after many im-
patent details,
securing charter
imendments and combatting for the
right of way, spending the people’s
money as carefully as though it was
their own, nnd going slowly and
surely onward, until today we look
