Palestine Yields
Papyri of 566 A. D.
<&-
Find Documents in Greek for
First Time There.
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

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 '*

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?

More important than the choice
of a life's work is the motive de

not choose the gospel ministery in
order to get rich or coal mining to

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

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.

A homemaker who enjoys knitting
or crocheting can make beautiful

These blankets or throws, as Jiey

any light weight material preferred.
Bind lining and knitted edges to

strips of the lining material, or with
satin ribbon 2 inches wide. The lat

which spells saving. A good grade of
silk muslin can be used for lining
instead of the China silk. Self-tone
blankets are daintiest, a pale pink,,

may be used. Owing to the loose

In working the crochet blanket. 4
stitches to the inch is recommended.
Stitchery should be very loose. If
