MINOR TOPICS.
AMONG the pious bulls and bears OF
Wall street, some entcrprisins fellow
bought several thousand copies of the old
version, and putting them into new bind.
ings, did a thriving business at 100 per
cent, peddling them among the brokers
for the new version.
On our first page will be found variety
of press and individual opinions upon the
matters at Millersville and the RESPONSE
bility for them. We have endeavored to
reproduce these opinions from wherever
we find them fully and fairly. 1t need not
be added that the drift of them is against
the faculty aud the regulations"
AT the convention of booksellers and
stationers, held in Chicago, resolutions
were adopted requesting publishers of
school and text books to make only a net
list Of prices. from which no discount
shall be made to others than legitimate
booksellers, and that to others there be an
addition Of fifteen per centum for postage
to the net prices recommending publish
ers to place reasonable retail price On
their books and adhere strictly thereto, ex-
cept to legitimate booksellers that pub
fishers and booksellers add postage to
books sent by mail and that publishers
and jObbers discontinue discounts to book
sellers who retail at less than publishers
prices" Letters were received from Ap-
pleton & Co. promising cooperation.
THE Douay Bible, following the Vulgate
which Jerome, aided by tho best Greek
codices then extant, revised from Latin
versions of the Scriptures of as early date
as the first and second Christian centuries,
renders thus the ode of the angels at the
birth Of Jesus, as reported in Luke H., II {:
Glory to God In the highest;
And on earth peace to men of good will.
The King James version of tho New Tes-
mcnt renders the last StanZa
And on ear h peace, good will to men.
In the revised version We read
And on earth peace among men IN vhom he is
acct pleased
And in the margin appears the alternative
reading "men Of good pleasure" The
change adopted is declared by the Record
t. be entirely arbitrary and unsupported
by the tcrtus receptus or by any text what
ever that has SO far appeared in printed
Greek Testament.
PROFESSOR RAUB, of tho Lock Haven
normal school, sends the Times COM
municatiOn to correct some of the mis-
representations of the rebellous students
of Millersville. Professor Raub did not
say, as stated, that he had advised his
faculty to admit to the Lock Haven school
all the Millersville students. His advice
to the students was that if they wcrc deter
mined not to return to Millersville they
should repair quietly to their homes. and
if, when the summer vacation had passed
they desired to attend some normal school
they should select such as they thought
would prove of most benefit to them, and
they would probably be admitted wher-
ever they applied, without question. Pro-
fcssor Raub deems the Millersville affair
unfortunate, not only to tho school i'm
mcdiately concerned, but also to the other
nine schools of the state.''
THE New York Times indulges in some
very sharp criticism of ''boy preachers"
whom it thinks people 60 to see and hear
in the spirit that they attend the circus
or look at a dwarf. The Times declares
that "the boy preacher knows nothing of
theology, and his interpretations of the
Bible are as worthless as the colored man
Jasper's crude notions of astronomy. He
has had no experience of life, and is no
more capable of giving advice and counsel
to his hearers than is baby in arms. To
allow boy to assume the gravest and
most sacred duty which man can assume,
is to him an irreparable injury. The. self |
conceit and self-righteousness of the little !
preaching monster are more disgusting
than the premature knowledge of evil
which he would acquire were he to play
in theatre. Of the two, the stage is de-
sidedly better place for child than the
pulpit, for the guilt of sacrilege is not in
cured by the infant phenomenon who
iances in the ballet or sings in the variety
show" Since women and boys usurp
The clerical functions this journalistic sccf.
er wants a liberal and progressive peo-
,le to open the pulpit to monkeys.
