Pro- fessor of New Testament, Prince- ton (N.J.) Theological Seminary, as "the most important papyrus manuscript of Luke known to exist." Written in Egypt, probably about A.D. 200, it antedates the famous' Chester Beatty Papyrus of the Gospels by at least a gen- eration, according to Dr. Metz- ger, and antedates the earliest known parchment manuscripts of the New Testament by a cen-e tury and a half, Commenting on the nature of the Greek text in the papyrus, Dr, Metzger explained that it agrees most frequently with the famous Codex Vaticanus of the fourth century, which is often re- garded 'as one of the most im- portant copies of the New Testa- ment in the original Greek. Like that manuscript, as well as other early copies, the Beelmer. Papyrus lacks several verses at the end of Luke, notably Chap- ter 22, verses 43-44, regarding the angel sent to strengthen Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and his bloody sweat, and. Chep- ter 23, verse 34, Jesus' prayer of forgivness from the • cross, Dr. Metzger discussed the sig- nificance of several agreements of the, Bodmer manuscript with the Sahidic version,• one of the early Coptic translations of the Bible used in•Egypt, writes Win- throp- A. Tryon in the Christian Science Monitor. The most noteworthy agree- ment concerns; Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus, The Bodmei codex is the only known Greek copy of St. Luke which, like the Sahidic version, assigns a name to the otherwise anony- mous rich man, In Chapter 16, verse 14, he is called "Neve," which, according' to Dr. Metzger, was intended by the scribe to be read as "Nineveh," the name of a rich and dissolute city, in an- cient times. The importance of the manu- script, the lecturer declared, goes far beyond the new textual evi- dence Which it presents evidence is now available that, contrary to current views, the Church in Egypt during the second century had made unsupected progress among scholarly circles.

I had wanted to talk to her, and it looked as if here was my chance. But she was' • talking very 'earnestly to Papa. "You see, Mr. Halverson," she was saying. "Charlie never had. anyone to steady him down or help him much. He has wonder- ful ideas, but he needs someone to help him." "He needs experience, and to prove himself," said Papa, "He worked all summer help- ing a cannery in Minnesota. He's learned a lot. And if I helped. and I would—and if Father could just see it, and let me. Reverend Knutson talked to him, and may- be if others—like you—showed some confidence—" Papa was looking serious. "Are you sure, Yetta?" he asked. "You're a sensible, capable girl —very' capable. Is this what you want to do? 'Are you sure?" "I'm sure," said Yetta softly. "Mr. Halverson, I'm. very sure."' "I'll talk to Charlie myself," Papa promised. "He comes from good folks. Maybe I'll talk to them too. If people knew you were going to be in, on that can- nery management, Yetta, it would make them all feel dif- ferent." Yetta's face lighted. ''Oh, thank you, Mr_ Halverson. Charlie learned a lot from that Clear Lake deal. It wasn't all. his fault. And no one's going to lose by it. And this cannery—we've talked it over. We've got it all planned out, And, I just know if you and some of the other businessmen favor it, Father will put some money in and help get it started," She caught sight of me stand- ing listening and smiled. "Why, hello, Alta. You interested in the cannery?" "I'm interested in Charlie," I said, "I like him and want to see him do well." Papa chuckled. "You and Yetta both," he said. "Good thing you're just seven." It was a week or two later that I came into the store and found almost the same group gathered there, only this time there were two more—Mr. Torgerson and Charlie. "Co-operatives are going to be the coming thing," Charlie was saying. "Why shouldn't we start something here in Wisconsin?" "I• put in a good share for Yet- ta," said Mr. ,Torgeson, "and she will help manage, You can trust Yet*" "And Yetta trusts Charlie," said the minister smiling, "I think we all can." — By Alta Halverson Seymour in the Chree- tian Science Monitor.

How The Cannery Got Its Start A little knot of men had gath- ered around the big stove when ran into the store after School One afternoon, and excited talk Was going on. "Well, if he Wants to start a canning factory, I don't see who's going to stop him or why we'd even want to, Why can't we have a cannery? I hear he's, got the land arranged for---next the blacksmith shop —" a young man said. °I don't object to a canning factory," Papa broke in. "That might be a very good thing for us around here, But this young fellow is pretty much of a fly- by-night, He tried to get one of these started up the line a year or so ago—raised money among the businessmen and farmers— got part of the building up and somehow money ran out—not well managed, I suppose—and there it stands—" "Ja, ye don't vent not'ing like aat here," said Mr. Sorsensen, the blacksmith. "I certainly do not vant na such a neighbor." "He won't get any lumber from me," said Uncle Mart, and I knew the matter must be im- b ortant if he'd leave the lum- eryard to discuss it in business hours. "Ta r ja, ja," said Reverend' Icnutson, and his voice sounded quiet in the midst of the quick, vehement discussion. The men stopped to listen, for everyone liked the kindly minister, and even though some shook their heads, faces cleared a little. But the talk drifted into. Norwegian, as it often did in the store, so I ran upstairs to see if Mamma knew what it was all about. "Well, it's just this young Charlie Otterson with his big ideas that no one thinks he can tarry, out," said Mamma. "People would be glad enough to have a cannery here, but nobody has confidence in him. I'm sorry too because he comes from a pretty nice family who settled on a Win up north of town some years ago. Charlie didn't want to work on the farm—went away' and got one job and then anoth- er. He's always had big ideas, but he doesn't seem able to carry them out." "Oh, I remember Charlie Ot- tersonl" I exclaimed. "He's the one who gave me a ride on his handlebars last summer." What Charlie had done that afternoon seemed very important, and he had certainly made a firm friend of me. "If we had a cannery here, what would we can?" I asked. Canning was a familiar enough process, but in my experience, it was always carried out in kitch- ens, "Peas, mostly, I suppose—but there might be tomato canning in. the fall, and I hear they're beginning to can pumpkin too. Might be a good thing for the farmers—if that Charlie Otter- son could ever get anything on a paying basis." "I just bet he could, Mamma. He's awful nice." "Well, there's just one thing that makes me hopeful," Mam- ma replied, "He's started going around with Yetta Torgerson, and if ever there was a steady, tensible girl, it's Yetta. I don't see what she sees in. Charlie Ot- terson." I knew Yetta, the quiet cap- Ole daughter of a well-to-do farmer near town. She had gone away to school for a year and now Papa said she had taken over all the farm bookkeeping and managed the dairy too. I walked into the sitting room. and stood at the window think- ing about it, and when I saw my good old friend, Reverend Knut- son) starting up the hill to the parsonage, I put on my coat and ran after him. "Do you think Charlie's so bad?" I asked breath- lessly when I caught up.
