rehash of the factual probings of the higher critics into the origins of new testament writings any one who has made a detail study of the new testament would be ready to admit that there are apparent contradictions and ambiguities especially in the four gospels but this could hardly be otherwise in view of the fact that they were compiled many years after the crucifixion of christ and that they were not transcriptions from short hand notes of the sayings of jesus the very fact that there are four separate accounts to prove the jesus is sufficient to prove the honesty of the compilers of the xew testament in presenting the most authentic writings available they were the recorded impres- ions and recollections of four men who were intimately acquainted with jesus for several years before his death at the age of 33 the accounts of his birth and boyhood must have been derived from the family on local tradition in the gospel records there is a lapse of some twenty years of which noth ing is told but it is assumed that jesus spent those years working as a carpenter in his fathers shop at nazareth his enemies testified to this when they scoffingly said is not this the carpenters son whence then hath this man all these things this in itself is testimony to the supernatural character of jesus and when the higher critics have disposed of the recorded miracles as scientifically impossible they are still faced with the miracle of christ himself and the miraculous effects of his personality and teach ing upon his followers for two thousand years the trouble with bishop barnes and dean johnson seems to be that they are trying to secularize christianity the bishop would turn the new testament into a cold and lifeless historical docu ment while the dean would trans form christ into a politician and christianity into a system of tcon- omics as individuals the bishop and the dean are at liberty to hold those views but one wonders how they at the same time can honestly continue to hold high offices in the church of england much less to preach its doctrines and adminis ter its mystical sacraments there may never be any scientific proof of the recorded miracles but christ ianity is fundamentally a mystical religion and its doctrines must be spiritually discerned the new testament is not a history like that of gibbons rise and fall of the roman empire it is a living dynamic document at once human and divine a modern example of its power is given in an article by g w sheppard in the british weekly in which be tells of the conversion of mr sob an officer in the army of the chinese republic who had become the leader of a band of outlaws telling mr shep pard of his first encounter with the new testament mr soh said one day in a market place i saw a crowd round a man who was sell ing books he was speaking with a loud voice and i heard him say this little book records the teach ing and works of jesus the saviour of the world price only two coppers jesus teaches us the mean ing of being men that was just what i wanted many in the crowd bought the books i got one and took it back to our camp i could not understand it much some of the things it recorded about jesus bloomington i did not believe but his teachings were full of meaning and i ponder ed over them the way he treated men astonished me and made me uneasy i knew then that i must change my own way of life but could not see how at last i called my men together and told them they must disband and disperse those who had homes should go home those who had none should go anywhere to start life afresh with some meaning then i slipped away secretly and came southward here i am free jesus is teaching me the meaning of being a man that is why i sell gospels mr soh who is said to be a man of giant physique dignified bearing and courtly manners has devoted his life to the peddling of copies of the new testament which he declares has taught him the mean ing of being a man bishop barnes and dean johnson might well ponder that saying and get down to the business for which they were ordained that of spreading the hear premier george in an important provihcewipe bbofibsast to the people cf
