In reply to q recent letter in connection
with the controversy from the Rev. George
c. Hunting OF Virginia City, New, and
published in The CALL, the Rev. Father
YorFe writes as follows:
san Francisco, Jan. IS, 1895.
To the Editor Of the san Francisco CdlI-DEAR
SIR: AL the way from Virginia City the Rev.
George c. Hunting hiss written 10 prove that
Peter Is not the rock He claims TO have
given the subject "Some considerable study
(whateyer that may be-, ana therefore We may
expect TO find brand new and original theory
10 break the force OF our lords plain words.
However, his explanation is as old rs PrOtes-
tautism. StIQ il has been so long relegated
By scholars 10 'InnocUOus deSuetuoe" that the
Rev u. c. Hunting may be pardOned for sup
posing that he has made q brilliant discovery.
Nj. Hlnung'S objection is brought against
the point OF the argument which Identities
this rock viii build my church Mr.. Hunt
ing claims that our Lord used two words, Pc
JrCS and Petra, 10 represent rock in this
passage, and that the change in Technology
was intended TO show that the church was not
built upon Peter.
Now, as 8 matter OF fact, there is no evidence
10 prove that our Lord used these TWO words.
De cid not speak II Greek, as Mr.. Hunting
seems 10 imagine, but in Aramaic or Syriac,
which was the veTnacular language OF PaleS-
tine IN those days. I have before me now Two
editions o. the PeShlttO or Syriac version OF St.
Matthew. These editions are a the service of
any scholar who may care TO investigate the
matter. IN this version, that IS 10 say in the
language used by our Lord himself, the SEN
tenCe runs thus:
Aph ens emar ne lakh dant IN Kipha wal
hade kipha ebneh l-idty.
"And I say uutO thee that thou art Kepha
and upon this kepha l VIII build my church"
When this sentence was turned into Greek
why were The words changed? Why was one
klpha represented by PetTos and the other
k1pha BY Petra? The reason is simple The
grammatical structure demanded q change.
The Greek word for rock" Petra, is feminine
To call -. Peter q Petra would 10 Greek ears
sound as ridiculous as 10 call him Mary Ann.
Hence 10 avoid the IncOngruity OF referring 10
him as she the evangelist gave the name
the masculine termination. Petros.
But why did he not use Petros too in the
second place, and thus keep the words identi-
cal? The reason Is that Petros as common
noun means only piece of rock or g stone
Hence IN lis common use il cou'd not be en-
ployed 10 represent the great rocE foundation
on which Christ intended TO build his church.
As proper name, however, ii ste Itds for Petra,
because in no other way could the Greek call a
man Petra than by changing Tito Petros
II Is really painful 10 watch tire devices to
which those are driven who wsuld explain
away the plain meaning OF our lords words

CONCERNING DIAMONDS.
Millions Paid by Americans in Duti
the Precious Stones

Millions Paid by Americans in Duties
on the Precious Stones.
There are perhaps 5000 dealers in dia-
monds in the world, vino carry in their
stock stones worth perhaps $3.50, 900, 900.
The remainder are in the hands OF private
individuals. There is always something
fascinating about the subject of diamonds,
and rich and poor like 10 read about
precious stones. 1t is estimated that dur
ing the last twenty-five years the Ameri-
can people have paid duty on at least $780,
O00,0 600 worth of diamonds and other
precious stones. In 1898 alone they i'm
ported SIS, 2G3, 563 worth, but in 1894 there
was a falling off owing to the hard times
and the total was only $4,856, 985. This
does not include uncut diamonds, of which
we imported more than 81, coo, coo worth in
1892, 100000 worth IN 1898 and $3.50, 267
worth in 1894.
During the last twenty-five years we
have imported $7,087, S17 worth of uncut
diamonds. In 1880 we imported only
s129, 900 worth of uncut diamonds, and in
1889 only $250,000 worth. The large in
crease of late has been due to the fact that
a number of American jewelers. have
opened diamond cutting establishments.
There are now fifteen establishments in
the United States, which employ from one
to twenty men. There are 1000 manu-
facturers in Europe and about 200 in the
United States, who employ between 1000
and 5000 persons as cutters and polishers.
Perhaps % 900 people are employed in
the diamond mines throughout the world.
We read that in past centuries 90 900
people were working in some single Indian
mines at one time, and perhaps that state
ment Is not exaggerated, since by the aid
OF modern machinery one miner can now
accomplish as much as twenty who used
the primitive methods. The total value Of
all the diamonds in the world undoubtedly
exceeds 81, 00O, 900 OOO.-JeweIers' Review.

The attitude of Papists on the school cues.
tlon SHOWS that the claim OF only spiritual
authority for the Pope in the United States
rests upon falsehood. The present inter-
terence OF the Pope is upon schools for educa-
tlon. The establishment of the schools is a
civil matter. Teaching children to read and
write is civil matter. The appointment of
OF what books shall be read in schools
Is civil matter: 1t is as secular men
course OF studies. Suppose they introduce an
offensive history, as has been done, into the
schools, the Pope has nothing to do with it.
1t Is matter of civil and domestic arrange
ment, with which no power, civil or sacred,
outside the Republic, has right to inter-
NEEDLE. Yet Pope Leo has intermeddled-
priests and Bishops have objected to various
books used in our schools and set aside the
laws OF the land in obedience to the mandates
OF the Pope. In book entitled Catholics

made:

attention at first. This sore refused
to heal, and after while became quite
obstinate, and began TO grow. 1 placed
myself under the treatment of promi-
nent physicians, who said had cancer
of the most stubborn type, and though
/ took their treatment faithfully, tho
cancer grew steadily all the while,
increasing in size and severity. l
also took nearly every medicine
that was recommended for the
blood, and applied various salves
and ointments, all without the slightest
benefit. Year by year, found myself
steadily growing worse, for the cancer
was sapping my life away, although l
spent hundreds of dollars with doctors,
and as much more experimenting with
various so-called remedies. l was
strongly urged by the doctors TO sub
nit to an operation, which they
claimed was the only hope for me.

ever being cured, when was induced
to try S. S. S., and even the first bottle
afforded relief. The medicine caused
the cancer to discharge, thus forcing
out the poison, and Kidding the sys-
tenn of il. I continued to take S. S. s.
until the discharge ceased, and the
cancer healed up entirely, and I am
perfectly well. My cure is regarded
as truly remarkable, and demonstrates
what a wonderful remedy S. S. s. is.

mending it.
