The next session of the committee will

Should the effort to bring the Davidson

that Rev. H. H. Wikoff's post will also
have to be filled by a substitute. He rep

DIVISION IN THE COMMITTEE.
DR.. c. o. Browns Pulpit Was Filled by
Professor Lloyd, Who Told What
It Is 10 Be Christian"

The investigation committee appointed
by Dr. Brown to try his case is divided as
to the method of procedure. DR.. Williams,
prominent member, strongly favors the
plan of urging that the legal proceedings
be given the preference, while DR.. Pond,
who, however, bias signified his intention
of withdrawing from the committee for
variously assigned reasons, thinks the in
vestigation should proceed. His brethren
assign his desire to be relieved of the re-
sponsibilities OF the work to hissensitive-
ness regarding criticism of the dec ision in
the case of the erring Eureka preacher.
He told CALL reporter that he was too
busy to serve.

OASIS. We will proceed on such lines or
investigation as the allegations it contains
may suggest to US individually or collec-
lively. The further prosecution of the
investigation will depend upon two con-
tlngencies, the length of the pastors i'll
ness and the possibility Of the trial OF
Mrs, Davidson being advanced on the cal
endar. An effort will be made to secure
an early hearing of the case in court. We
believe the evidence produced in that trial
will materially aid US in our investigation.
We believe furthermore that the best in
terests of the First congregational Church
will be subserved by such course.

WICLIFF'S FIGHT.
Rev. William RAIDER Tells About 1t
at the Third Congregational


Church.
"Wicliff and the First English Bible"
was the second in the special series of Sun
day-evening sermons by Rev. William
RAIDER of the Third Congregational Church
last night. The general theme of the
series is Portraits and Gospel Epochs in
the Later Church" He said in part:
John Wicliff was the first Protestant. When
he hurled the English Bible at the authority
OF the Papacy and the corruption of the
church the reformation began. He was the
forerunner of Luther. The fourteenth century
was corrupt There is no apology for Catho-
hclsm In this century in which the reformer
appeared Twenty thousand mendicant beg
gars roamed over England. The triar was a
plous fraud. The church was collecting Peters
pence. The monastery was whited sepulcher
me Papacy was an exaeting government, not
religion. The Popes claimed England. The
MONKS sold indulgences and many OF the
priests led luxurious and corrupt lives.
W1cllH was born in 1924. His life centered
in Oxford. At the age OF 36 he attacked the
mendicant orders He was brought before the
tribunal in ST. Pauls Cathedral and dismissed
on technicality. He protested against the
Catholic church ruling the state This protest
still vibrates through modern institutions.
His translation of the Bible produced revo-
luton The Bible, originally written on the
SKINS OF beasts or papyrus, has remarkable
history prior to the age of printing. The Old
les lament, written in Hebrew, without yowels,
was trans lated into the Greek. In the fourth
century jerome produced the Vulgate version,
the only one regarded as authentic by the
Catholic church. The kindred Languages gave
wings TO the Scriptures.
1t belonged to Wicliff to give the Bible to the
people in their own tongue. He found ii
locked in LaIin. He broke the lock. If Chau-
Ger is Englands first writer of verse Wicliff is
the father of England's immortal prose. The
Engllsh Bible became the medium OF popular
liberty. 1t produced the renaissance.
The church consigned his bones to the flames
with copies of his translation, and the ashes
were borne to the Avon, from the Avon to the
Severn, and from the Severn to the sea. He
made Milton and Jeremy Taylor possible. The
printing press sent WIDTHS Bible over the
knapsack and the peasants home.
The battle in which Wicliff waged war is
being fought in America.

NO PENDING NEGOTIATIONS

For Real Estate Between Colonel Pope
 and Trinity College.
 MT c, E. Graves of New Haven. treasurer of Trinity college, said in an- swer to a question by Hartford Times reporter yesterday that there are no pending negotiations relative to the sale of the property owned by, the col lege on Capitol avenue, between Wash ington and Oak streets. MT. Graves said that there had been considerable talk about the property being sold to Colonel A. A. Pope, who is now in Flu rope, but whatever had been done has fallen through. On this parcel is situ" ated the residence of Judge William Hamersley, which Is located at the COL ner of Capitol avenue and Washington street, fronting on the latter, and all the land occupied by the Hartford Ten his club There is a frontage of 600 feet on Capitol avenue and about 225 feet on Washington street.

MANUFACTURING NOTES.

MT. M. F. Richards of the Savage Re- beating Arms company is in town in the interests of the Savage sporting rifle, which is manufactured at the Marlin shops in this city. The com pany has received the order from New York state for 10000 of the Savage Mill itary rifles. Orders are expected from other states. It has been stated in the papers that the contract for filling the order for the Savage military rifle had been awarded the Marlin company of .this city, which is not so, the contract not having been awarded yet. The report doubtless grew out of the fact that the Marlin company is filling an order for 5000 of the Savage sporting rifles. The Marlin company will probably enter the field as a competitor and make a bid for the contract for making the military rifles. A sample of the mili- tary gun is, MT. Richards says, to be placed on exhibition in the window of some store in the center of the city shortly.
