MRS. LIVERM0RE ON 1.-THE W0-
MANS BIBLE"

Mrs. MARY A. LIvERMoRE writes in
the Boston Daily Advertiser:
1t is not "Woman's Bible" which is
now in process of preparation by CON-
mittee of English and American women.
1t is a "Women's Commentary on the
Bible"-quite another thing. Nor does
the Women's Committee propose COM
mentary on the whole Bible; only on
those portions that relate to women,
which include about one-eleventh Of the
Old and New Testaments.
From time immemorial men eminent
fer scholarship and Biblical lore have
written commentaries on the Bible. My
husbands library. that of lifelong
clergyman, abounds in them. They have
explained the passages that relate to
woman in various ways, there being a
variety of opinion among commentators
on the Holy Scriptures, the exegesis of
one not infrequently being contradicted
by that Of another.
The time has arrived when women are
competent to explain the Bible for them
selves. There are students and scholars
among them. ministers who have been
graduated from colleges and theological
schools, and who have been ordained to

TEXAS-An Affliction.-Rev. James
Billings, our venerable Texas Missionary
is becoming blind!
This is great misfortune. Bro. Bill
lings has lost the sight Of one eye and
the other is nearly blind. Oculists pro-
nounce his case durable, but course
of treatment involves large expense.
This he is unable to meet. We there
fore make an appeal to those who have
means to spare in behalf of this faithful
missionary to assist him in this time of
trouble.
His health is perfect and he feels that
with his sight restored. he is still good
for few more years of work in his mis-
sionary field, to which he has gladly de-
voted his time and energies for the past
twelve years.
Any help for this purpose as stated
here, sent to him at Hico, Texas, will be
thankfully received.

There are many women at the
present time who are superior Greek
scholars, like President Irvine at the
head of Wellesley College. And there
are some women in England and Amer
lea who are excellent Hebrew scholars.
When Rev. Mrs. Bisbee, nee Babcock,
finished her course of theological study
at the Harvard Divinity School, it was
stated by the press that she was the
best Hebrew scholar of her class, all of
whom were men. Why then should not
women write commentary on those
