In 1892 and 1893 a copy of the Four Gospels written in Syriac was discovered at the Convent of St. Katherine on Mt. Sinai. The text and translation of these curious manuscripts which are 1400 or 1500 years old have just been published. The important bearing of this discovery upon New Testament study may be partially inferred from the acknowledged fact, that the Gospels commonly used in Palestino in early centuries were written in Syriac. Matthew is said to have originally ritten his gospel in that language which was the ordinary spoken language of the country. The sermón will be highly interesting and instructive.
