New York.—Papyri have been dis covered in Palestine for the first time in history, according to word received by Casper J. Kraemer Jr., professor of classics of New York university. The find, described by Professor Kraemer as a “novelty of the first importance,” came as a result of the failure of the w r ater supply at the site originally intended for ex cavation by the university’s archae ological expedition and the later transfer of activities to Auja-Hafir, an unpromising site 18 miles away. “Ruins which had been used by the Turks as a center of military operations during the World war, and had suffered much damage from trenches, machine-gun em placement and the like, provide the second site,” he said. Find Complete Rolls. While clearing debris the expedi tion discovered in an ancient fort 35 complete rolls of papyri and a large mass of fragments. These are written in Greek, which can be dated by the script to the sixth cen tury of the Christian era. MY LIFE-WHAT TO DO WITH ITT By LEONARD A. BARRETT BETTY’S COME-BACK While much papyrus has been discovered in Egypt and a little in Herculaneum, Italy and Iraq, no single piece ever has been discov ered in the land of the Hebrews, according to Professor Kraemer. “In fact, Palestine has always been poor in archaeological finds, and the present discovery is of vital importance to students of -archae ology.” H. Dunscombe Colt, director of the expedition, began work in the town of Esbeita, in Southern Pal estine, in 1933, where he made a survey of Byzantine churches. Dur ing the season the expedition has been supported by the British School of Archaeology and a part of its funds will be donated by the American Museum of Natural His tory. Ancient Name. The first document sent to Pro fessor Kraemer and his associate, Prof. Ernest L. Hettich, to be de ciphered, revealed that the ancient name of the town was “Nilo- esppor ion polls Village.” The docu ment. dated September 13, 566, is a legal agreement between a broth er and sister concerning property left by their grandmother. “The ^language of the document is in excellent Greek without prov incial peculiarities or misspell ings.” Professor Kraemer said. “The handwriting is that of a trained scribe wbo had learned the type of hand practiced by officials throughout the late Roman empire, and the legal terminology is iden tical with that used in any part of the Greek world. “There is every reason to expect j that in view of these documents i some information will be gleaned about the conditions in Southern Palestine when Mohammed led his j Arabs from the desert in the surge which was to overwhelm the whole | Near East, and ultimately to ex tend well into Europe '* v-kfm 'w Bn Lud Btj Ltjdta Le 5arcm Walker The greatest factor in the equa tion of human values is person ality. The most important ques- t i o n regarding personality is: what shall I do with my 1 i f e’ > Shall I be a so cial sponge or a sympathetic shar er of life values ahd the energy of life itself? Shall I merely absorb or help to create as pects of life that influence positive action? The an swer to these questions determines not only the kind of a life we live but also the ultimate happiness and success of life. The late Justice Holmes sent a graduation greeting to a friend in the following words: “Life is ro mantic business. It is painting a picture, not doing a sum. But you have to make the romance, and it will come to the question how much fire you have in you.” True! Life is a romantic venture, and because it is a venture, it is not difficult to answer the question: What shall I do with life? The person truly and deeply live* whose personality is aglow with a high purpose. No one can be a I ing star until he is a burning light If we would “shine" in any* defi nite field of human endeavor, there | must be a dominant, burning pur pose or ambition within.

The responsibility of voca tional guidance ia the task of a specialist, and not of the untrained or inexperienced. More important than the choice of a life's work is the motive de termining the choice. One would not choose the gospel ministery in order to get rich or coal mining to become famous. Neither riches nor fame, however, are the most worthy incentives to “fire one's soul.” The interesting fact is that in many cases both of these so- called blessings often come unex pectedly as the result of hard, sac rificial service—rewards not direct ly sought. The highest motive that fires one’s soul is the altruistic spir it which aspires to the good that may be accomplished for others. It is true that best service brings highest profits in the financial world and in the realm of social and per sonal experience. Therefore, find the work that is worthy of your best efforts, something for which you would be willing to sacrifice your very life. The world may nev er know the motive that fired your soul, but you will know it and find in that knowledge, the sole condi tion of perfect happiness in your work.
