Ever since the days when your Sunday
school teachers tried 20 teach you some
thing which they very imperfectly under
stood themselves you have spoken Of the
aristocrat who refused TO befriend Lazarus,
the beggar, as Dives" being we'll satisfied
in your own mind that that was his name.
The facts are these Dives is Latin word
meaning rich" 1t is common or appel
iative noun. but is often regarded as q
proper name, especially when reference Is
made to the parable in Luke xvi 1t IL
said that the mistake originally arose from
the fact that all old pictures on the subject
were labeled Olives ct Lazarus" My an-
thority says that IL was quite natural that
uneducated persons would take the first
word TO be the rich mans name, as the last
was unquestionably that Of the beggar.-
