V0MEN'S HATS IN CHURcH,
Higher Criticism ana the Question of Re-
moving Them.

brooklyn Times.
The higher critics do not question
the authority of the Scriptures. They
point out what they believe to be errors
or interpretations in the text or mis-
taken theories of authorship, such
errors as were almost inevitable in the
subscriptions and retranscriptions by
which only the copies of the sacred
books could be multiplied before the
invention of printing. But the clergy
men who think that women should re-
move their hats during divine Worship
take holder ground. They assert that
the explicit mandate of st. Paul is
devoid of authority now. SAYS Rev.
DR.. Jesse +. Forbes of the Adams
Memorial Presbyterian Church What
Paul said about women worshipring
with uncovered heads does not apply in
this case, or to modern circumstances
generally Dr. Kraeling of the Zion
Lutheran Church says that if st. Paul
were to see some of the modern head
gear, he would be of modern mind and
not so insistent that it be retained in
the churches.
The clergymon who lightly brush
aside plain mandate of Scripture with
the airy remark that il amounts to
hothinS hoMuudyS, ildked more deadly
assault upon the authority of the Bible
than the critic, who, while acknowledge
ing the book as an authority for all
time, indicates what he deems to be
errors in the text. If, when DIR. Forbes
admonishes a non church going brother
with the words of st. Paul, "Forsake
not the assembling of yourselves to-
gether, as the manner of some is, -
what can be answer il he is told that
the admonition does not apply to mod
ern times, when every man, can have
all the religious literature he can read
at home without going to church to
listen to mediocre sermon? Some of
our clergymen appear to he treading
on rather dangerous ground.
The embarrassment resulting from
great riches is easily overcome.
