DISCOVERED BY TWO WOMEN The Kodak the Means Used -Theologians Startled by These Dis coverlts on Mt. Sinai. (New York Wortd.) A 'manuscript of tho Four Gospels in t)ha native tongue of Jesus has at last been founidVJUhe greatest lllbllcal treas ure iuha;t Was been dJscoveredi in cen turies. TaVs Is prcbolbly tho o".dcst authentic record of the doings and sayings of the Savior. It was written within 60 years of the dea'Jhi of the last of the Apos'tles as near to tlhe time of Christ as we to day ace to the time of 'Washington. Tao GOspels of the Elble are from the Greek (man'uecT'lpts. Christ, however, addressed the imul'titirde and ta'.ked with His idtectpr.'ea In, Syrhtc, the native tongue He f.iearned at His mother's knee. And here, for the first time, the Chris tian iwoKii has tlhe history of the Savior toi'd In the very words lie ujed the In flection, the sptfilng, ithe precise thades of untuning. Wirltten In the native lan guage of (Palestine, this aged manuscript t more vaf.ua'We than the Greek trans Cations, which are the accepted gospels of Christ'lamitty. It is not strange, therefore, that stu dents of tlhe Bible, Greek and Syrisc edholars and! hlwtorlans have turned wlOh fevertsh txcltement to this 'totiCly unexipedted trcusuro of snerc-1 htstory. But ofimcat ns remnrkaiy.3 as the ilscov ry of the manuscript is the extraordi nary story of how ' it was unenrlhed. Trfte details of the visit of two English women to the loneiy monastery of St. Oa'tiherine on the su.nmlt of Mount Sinai, and tlhe accident which revealel' the Syrlae Gospels, are told below. Cfhirlst, as iwe know, was master of sev eral 1angjagui, but II Is certain that Syrlao was 'tlhe one He learned as an infant. In moments of (treat mental excitement It wUa this language Sytrlac Vsat leaped natur'a'ity to His l'Jp?, and w.ien He cried out In anguish upon tlhe cross He spoke In Syriac words which our Greek Gospel has 'to trnnsOUte, but which in this newly discovered gceipel stand in their proper .'.aoe wl'tri no nned of translation. Thie goiipels give, for instance, an tn- 'tlrefy new reading of She proper names. From this It appears tihat thtre was no sudh person as Judas Isciariot, but that he who bctrayf.'J Wis Master with a kies was Juda Scariota, thad Peter's name was Cepho, and that 'the correct name for the Mount of Olives was Beth Zalta. DOCTRINAL REVELATIONS. But above and beyond such technical differences as tficve are the new and unexpected rea'dlngs of the ROtipels which this ancient manuscript d'lseioees upon dogmatic questions of the flri't Import ance. Written, ns Is admitted, ej near to '.he dea.th of John, and couched 1n the ianguago which was native of Palesfine, thils, the oi'd'est of authentic records ot Hi iUe and mission, must take rita place In the very front among histori cal! documents. And rle'ht here It may be raid 'lhat this ancient document, which has been found In the very place where 'Moses received Uhe commandments, while It co incides with 'the translations of the gos pels accepted up to the present day, yet di'fro:s from them. Tii'is difference Is of llsCf regarded as pi'ocf cf Its originality and genuine ness. In doctrinal matters there are differ ences tC-.ut have already aroused the t'heoC'ogliui'a. Tih'us te the entire question of the Immaculate Conception thrown open to controversy by tthla Syriac manu script. Its readings on that question are unoroih'O'dox. It la here distinctly stated that Jesus wa s the nut urn1, sn of Joseph. The 1 n-umiscrlKt whMi his now Wn fnimi) , u ajone in 'this ntw reading.
