Afew maybe noticed: _ First—The form. Those manuscripts hav- ing several columms ona page are considered older than those having but one, since they conform more nearly in appearance to the ancient scrolls made by joining the necessar- ily narrow strips of papyrus, . d—The quality of the vellum. The ium the greater the presumption for antiquity. In later manuscripts a glazed linen was substituted for vellum, and Tesembled it so closely as to be dificult of detechon. Third—The character of the uncials. In general, the simpler and less adorned the writing the older the manusctipt. Thus the piece of papyrus from Herculaneum, has characters square, upright, of equal size, with no space between wie.worlds, nu. uc- cents, breathings, nor punctuations, Besides these external marks of age there is also in- termal -evidence which must be weighed. Variations in spelling, or in the form of wards are often the.straws which turn the scale. We may now consider in detail a few of the inost ancient and valuable of the manu- Scripts of the New Testament. It must ‘not be supposed that all, or even a considerable part, of the mass of manuscripts are in any sense complete copies. Many of them are mere fragments, part of a leaf, it may be, rescued trum the waste paper-box of some convent, or picked picze by. piece from the binding of a printed book. One-quarter of them appear in the form of lectionaries or church-lesson bdvks, selections made from the Gospels (Evangelistaria), or from the Acts and Epistles (Praxapostoli) for public reading in ue churches. Most of them are copies of but one of the four parts into which the New Testament was anciently di- vided, the Gospels, the Acts, and Catholic* Epistles, the Pauline Epistles, and the Apoc- alypse. But one urcial copy of the entire New Testament is known to exist, and only twenty-three or twenty-four cursives. Every manuscript of any importance that bas been collated or examined, has its own proper name, and also its letter or number tor more convenient notation, The vucials most useful of our manuscripts. Its native place is Alexandria, whence it was carried y a patriarch of Constantinople, and by him presented to Charles I. of England. It formed a part of the King’s private library ‘until 1753, when it was transferred to the li- brary of the British Museum, then recently founded. Its pages (13810 in.), written in double col- umns, are 773 in number. The Old Test: mentis nearly complete, but the New Testa- ment has lost many leaves. The Gospel ree- ord begins at Matt. irther de fective from, John vi. to 52. The larger part of the Second Epistle to the Cor- inthfans is also missing. Besides the canoni- cal books it contains St. Clement’s first letter to the Corinthians anda part of the second. Codex A bears the signs of a Jaterage than either the Sinai or Vatican MS. Its charae- ters are lesssimule; punctuation oecasionally Rppears, and the beginnings: of books and chapters are marked by capitals. Most erit- ics assign it to the beginning of the fifth century, although Seriveneo thinks it may belong to the: last of the fourth. ‘The pres- ence of the Epistle of Clement forbids our assigning it a later date than the fifth century, The, Alexandrine MS. is a very important critical authority. Its text is pure and tran- scription aecurate. Its origin is evidently hiferent from that of either Cod. B or Cod. X, and_its readings, therefore, confirming those of its older companions, are usually pegarded Heelaise. li a ie best palimpsest copy of the New Testament, Cod. C has a peculiar interest. The art of erasing the writing from parch- ment fs thought to have originated with the Greeks, but the practice of expunging the centents of a manuscript for the purpose of using the leaves again was not common un- til the Middle Ages. Such rewritten manu- scripts Agodices rescripti) are called palimp- ‘he Scripture text in the case of Cad. G was, gbilterated. to ma seripcion of the works of St. Ephraim, a Syrian father. They are written in ‘a coarse twelfth century hand, and so com- pletely obscure the original ‘text that its presence was not noticed until 200 years ago. -At that time various readings were extracted from it, which were afterwards published i @ way for the tran-- lel] and reduce them to order; butby the as- sumption of a glorified human form and pass- age through the world of spirits He could do so. Neither could He have communed with man, for the brightness of His presence would have deprived man of all conscious lite. ‘God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself’; and a sacrifice of one God was not made to appease the wrath -of another, and thereby recon- cile the latter to mankind. The passion of the cross was the last act in the process of making the human derived from Mary a part of the internal divine. Our Lord appears in the heavens as u sun, and from Him proceed spiritual heat and light, corrésponding to tno heat and light emitted by the sun of the natural world; and this proceeding divine, termed the Holy Spirit, enters man as _im- perceptibly as do the rays of the sun into vegetation. This proceeding divine is in all nen, for * the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it-not’; but, like the gentle, alt-embracing sunlight which fills and animates our natural “universe, raises some into the life of the angels, be- cause of their receptivity, and in others it is received as in the sun’s rays by rank and noxious vegetation; but it is the same gen- erous sun which shines upon all—flower and weed alike. Unless, therefore, man opens the door and permits the warm fountain of Jife to enter in its fullness, and codperates with the divine by shunning evils as sins against God, he lives contrary to the law of his being and opposed to God. and, upon death, voluntarily enters into the society of the evil, because like seeks like, and he ¢an- not eudure the presence of the good and the rue. .** Tell has not been formed by any arbitrar: dicta, but is the result of a law correspond- ing to the well recognized law of affinity. Hell: has been forined by vast bodies of men consociating and living a similar existence in the world of spirit which they had followed in the natural, for immediately upon death each individual seeks the society of those, vod or evil, who are ina like state with himself; and this he does most freely, be- cause the life of Heaven is to him intolerable anguish, and it is a merciful dispensation of Divine Providence that he is permitted to do’ pits thunder against the stage, and the stage remains silent as to the pulpit, At the same meeting in which the Rev. Dr. Cuyler made his’ astounding statement, the Rev. Mr. Pentecost was the bearer of the happy news that four out of five persons living in the city of Brooklyn were gomg down to flell with no God and with no hope, If he had read the revised Testament he would have’ said “Hades,” and the effect of the statement would have been entirely lost. If four-tifths of the people of that great city are destined to eternal pain, certainly we eannot depend upon the churches for the salvation of the World. At the meeting of the Brooklyn pas- tors they were in doubt as to whether they should depend upon further meetings, or upon a day of fasting and prayer for the pur- Pose of converting the city. “In my jud; ment, it would be much better to devise Ways and means to keep 2 good many peonle. from fasting in Brooklyn. If they had more meaty they could get along with less meet- ing. If fasting would save a city, there are plenty of hurgry folks even in that Christian town. The real trouble with the Church of to-day is that it is behind the intelligence of the people. Its doctrines no longer satisfy the brains of the nineteenth century; and if the Church proposes to hold its power, it must Jose its superstitions. ‘The day of revivals is gone. Only the ignorant and unthinking can_ hereafter be impresSed by preaching the orthodox creed. Fear has in it no refurmatory power, and the more in- tellizent the world grows the more despica- ble and contemptible the doctrine of eternal misery will become. ‘The tendency of the axe is toward intellectual liberty, toward personal investization, Authority is no longer taken for:truth. People are bezin- ning-to find that all the great and good are not dead,—that some gooil people are alive, and that the demonstrations of to-day are fully equal to the mistaken theories of the “Do you think, after all, the people who are in favor of having you arrested for blas- phemy are acting in accordance with the real spirit of the Old and New Testaments?” ~ “Of course they act in exact accordance with many of the commands in the Old Testament and in accordance with several Even after so long a delay,.the first part only is ready to go torth; and, for the second, I am obliged to solicit the patience of my readers.
