REV. MR.. YOUTH CONCLUDES
HIS SERIES OF SERMONS,

For several Sundays much interest
has been manifested in a series of SER
mons which have from time to time been
delivered at the Plymouth Congrega-
uonal church by Rev Herbert A. Youtz
The sermons have been of strictly
theological and scientific nature and
have related 20 THE Conflict Between
Science and Theology I'm Biblical Inter-
pretation."
The sermon, last evening. was the last
or the series and therefore attracted a
larger congregation than usual.
The subject was Higher Criticism,
and Evolution as Allies of Christianity"
portion OF the interesting and schol-
arly address was az follows:
Il do not know why II s with such
splendid New Testament calls 10 search
for the truth that the Christian church
has constantly had more regard for au-
thority an dogma than Il has had for
the truth. We have spent more energy
Jealously guarding our received interpre-
tations OF the Bible and OF religion than
we have In searching 10 ascertain whether
or not our dogmas are so.
we brandish our weapons toward ev-
cry new thought which appears on the
religious horizon as though IL were
monster that must be destroyed. The
words Higher Criticism and Evolution

my address as TO whether II might not

openness and readiness OF mind until A.

so.
III the energy that has been disslpated

past century had been spent I'm investi-

The popular Rocky Point was yesterday
again the magnet that served TO attract
countless numbers OF pleasure seekers
10 the cool and shady shores on the west

and the palatable dinners will be once

EPISCOPAL BISHOPS
COMPLETE THEIR WORK
Revision of the Marginal Readings
of the Bible Finished After
Six Years Labor,

After s'arly six years of painstakins
labor committee OF Bible scholars. con-
sisting OF ive bishops and five priests OF
the rotestant Episcopal church. has
completed what is practically q new re-
vision OF the Bible.
This committee is known as the Joint
Commission on Marginal Readings in the
Bible and was appointed at the general
convention OF the Protestant Episcopal
church In 1895. with instructions TO re-
port 10 the general convention OF 1893 IL
did so, but limited it's recommendations
TO the book OF the New Testament.
A resolution TO continue the commission
was adopted by the house OF bishops and
the house of deputies In the convention
OF 1898. In order that 1t might prepare a
more complete report for the considera-
tion of the convention OF 1901, which will
meet in San Francisco I'm October
The commission consists or Bishops

burg, and the Rev. Messrs. Carey, Bin
ney, Body, Packard and Waterman
Copies OF the report. a printed pam
phlet OF upward OF 800 pages, were sent
yesterday to the bishops OF the country
and 10 the clerical and lay delegates to
the house OF deputies. The report reads
In part:
INTELLIGENT MEANING OUGHT.
THE ooject OF the commission has
been TO give an intelligent meaning to
every part OF the Bible. This. IL is be-

element of instruction has been the pri-
mary thought.
The church will have Bible which,
on the one hand retains the version
around which the loving regard of the
people so largely centres, and which at
the same time contains all such altera-
tions In the rendering of the text as are
necessary for its intelligent use.

ture which, owing TO changes I'm taste

They have some very curious crirni-
nal laws In Mexico. For instance, it is
twice as much of an offense to mutt
late the face of woman as that of a
man. The law seems to be based on
the idea that wOman's best posses
sion is her beauty and that to mar it
does her great injury.
There Is another curious law. If a
person should be wounded in an en-
counter, the punishment to the Offend

victim has to stay In the hospital or
