In Genesis Mrs. Stanton finds reason for
bellef that the Trinity Is really composed
or Rather, Mother and Son. This theory is
based on verses 26. y and 2S. in the first
chapter. Concerning them, she says:
Here is the sacred historians first ac-
count of the advent of woman; a stimuli
taneous creation of both sexes, in the inn
age OF God. 1t is evident from the language
that there was consultation in the Cod
head, and that the masculine and feminine
clements were equally represented.
The first step in the elevation of WO-
man TO her true position, as an equal fac
tor in human progress. is the cultivation
OF the religious sentiment in regard to her
dignity and equality, the recognition by
~ Mother, to whom their prayers should
be addressed as we'll as to a Father"
MIS-. Lime DeVereaX Blake makes the
assertion that woman il superior to man.
and takes for her basis the 24th verse of
the second chapter OF Genesis: THE COM

All through the "Woman's Bible" Moses
seems to be one considered chiefly at
fault. OF the 10th chapter of Numbers
the Rev. Phebe Hanaford says:
The whole import of this CHAPTER Is
that woman's word is worthless unless
she is widow or divorced. While an un-
married daughter, her father is her sure
ty; when married the husband allows or
disallows what she promises, and the
promise is kept or broken according to
his will The whole Mosaic law in this
respect seems based upon the idea that
a woman is an irresponsible being and
that it is supposed each daughter will
marry at some time. and thus be com
tinually under the control of some male

trary and debasing are such ideas. and

of the river sinks a the same time and
at the same rate as the soil. and that there
Will in consequence, be no necessity to
build the leYees higher from generation
to generation in order to met this new
complication Judge Taylor one of the
commissioners, who has given this par
ticuiar matter much study, speaks as fol-
lows about it:
There can be no question as to the sink
ing of the land. All the observations con-
firm it. 1t only remains to be seen whether
II IS merelyia local settling and solidify-
ing of the newly deposited soil at the
mouth of the Mississippi or a general sub
sidence extending up to and above the
city. 1t is a matter that can be determined
only by definite surveys, and these must
be made. The discovery of the sinking, or
rather the proof of it, was made by a
comparison of the gauge record at Port
Eads, at the jetties, with those on the
river above. Another comparison, made
later by an assistant, between the gauges
at the upper end of New Orleans and at
the jetties, confirmed the discovery. One
thing is certain-either the land is sinking
or the water is rising"
OF course, this announcement has caused
a great deal of excitement, and there has
been a disposition to eXaggerate its eff
fects. The members of the commission
think ii worth while to declare that there
Is nothing to fear at New Orleans, al
though that city stands only 10 feet above
the Gulf level. By accretion, the raising
of streets and lots, the city is growing
higher despite the sinking of the soil; nor
does the commission see any danger to the
jetties and the depth of water in them
remains the same. The sinking may injure
some of the low-lying lands on the Gulf,
and compel their abandonment for agri-
cultural purposes, and the fear is express
ed that the subsistence may more or less
interfere with and hinder the work of lay
ing sewers underground in New Orleans.
This work must be uncertain in a soil
which is clearly unstable, and partakes of
the characteristics of a sponge or quick
sand.
The data on the subject are still insult
ficient and until more evidence is obtain
ed it will be impossible to reach any def
mite conclusions. 1t is probable that a re-
survey of the Mississippi will be made at
once to determine exactly to what extent
the sinking is going on and how far up the
river it extends. When this has been done,
it will be possible to understand a great
many points about the Mississippi and its
alluVial lands, as well as the Gulf marshes
which have hitherto puzzled biologists and
engineers.

whats in a name?" is partly answered
by the discussion which the first part of
the "Woman's Bible has created in relig-
ious and secular circles.
This work is not. as might be inferred
from the title, a revision of the Bible or a
translation from it made by women. 1t is
rather a collection of excerpts from it
upon which radical criticisms have been
made by women who are widely known as
pioneer suffragists.
The part which has just been put before
the public consists of comments on the
Pentateuch, and is represented as combin-
ing the result of the labors of Elizabeth
Capt. Stanton, Lille Devereux Blake.
Rev. Phebe Hanaford, Clara Bewick Col
by Ellen Battelle Dietrich, Ursula N. Ges-
tefeld, Mrs. Louisa Southworth and
Frances Ellen Burr.
oddly enough there are few radical state
mentS made in these commentaries which
these women have not voiced during the
many years they have made addresses
from platforms. 1t is only when they group
them together and call them a "Woman's
Bible" that they have been accused of
making a bitter attack upon Christian
ity,' and of ''outdoing" Ingerson.
Mrs. Stanton originated the idea Of
greater part of the commentaries on The
Pentateuch has been written by her The
htS NIUE u ieI purpose Is sounded in
her preface when she saws: The only
points in which l differ from the eccles
iastic teaching is that I do not believe
that any man ever saw or talked win
