The Liring Church (P. E.) says: "At the
late London Diocesan Conference we get
some interesting light upon the present
status of the Revised Version of the Holy
Scriptures in England. A member offered
resolution proposing a memorial TO Con-
vocation asking that steps be taken to in
troduce the use of the Revised Version
into the services of the church. He COM
planned that the interest with which this
version was received at its publication.
nine years ago, had passed away and its
circulation seemed TO have ceased alto
gether. Instead, however, of perceiying
the significance of this, that it was equiv
alent to verdict of Tried and found
wanting, he desired that it should be
forced upon the church by positive legisla-
tion. DR.. WAGE pointed out that much
more serious consequences were involved
than some persons seemed to think. 1T
would for instance, BE very serious
thing to give the sanction of the
Church of England to an opinion
that there was great doubt as to the au-
thenticity of the last verses of ST. Marks
Gospel Another speaker declared that
the use of this version was most irritating
and disturbing. Its public reading in church
raised spirit not of worship, but of criti-
cism. The constant occurrence of frivolous
and trumpery corrections was exceedingly
annoying This speaker certainly touched
the vital point and exposed the true reason
why the new version has not dislodged the
old in the services of the church. 1t is
not because it may not afford more exact
translation in many places, but because in
numberless places it has tampered with the
venerable religious language with which
the deepest and most devout feelings of
our people are bound up. 1t was forgotten
that what is called literal translation is
not necessarily the truest, and that very
frequently precision and intelligibility are
not identical. 1t is unquestionable that in
numberless instances the changes made
have not improved the sense in the faintest
degree"

Half dozen members of the Press Club

Dr. F. E. Rice took the argus to task for
printing paragraph which read about as
follows: "The following is said to be the
shortest sentence in the English language
containing all the letters in the alphabet:
John P. Brady gave me a black walnut
box of qui,e small size The entire SEN
tence, contains less than twice the number
of letters in the alphabet" That's good
sentence of its kind" said the doctor, 'but

A Ex-Mexican Soldier Whe Was Born
in,

1852
While crowd of men were enioying
the shade in front of the Hillsboro Mer-
camille Companys store yesterday old
man Pedro Maneiz passed down the street
humming ditty, and moving at quite a
lively gait, when one of the crowd re-
marked:
There goes the Oldest man in New
Mexico"
'How old is he ?" was asked.
"Well, sir," continued the speaker, "you
may believe it or not, but that man is los
years of age, and has been proven by
records both in this country and old
Mexico"
As this was quite a remarkable age for
person to reach, the old man was hailed
and asked to return.
Upon closer view Pedro's dried-up,
shriveled form did not contradict the
speakers remarks in the least. In fact, he
looked much older His skin was drawn
tight about the bones, eyes well sunken,
and chin and cheek bones protruding far
out. He wore on his head Mexican
sombrero of primitive make, which he has
worn for thlrty-three years, and vet it is
whole and intact from rents and breaks,
and affords protection from the hot sun.
GLOW old are you, Pedro"
"Well," began the old man, "if live 10
see the 9th day Of next November, | will
be los years old"
He sat down in chair, and, taking a
cirgarette paper from his pocket, he pro-
ceeded to fill and light it. Some little dis
pute arose as to the place of his birth while
the old man was putting at his cigarette,
when he stopped them with:
"4ou are all off; none of you are right.
