MISS GOULD'S OFFER
Prizes for Essays on History and
Origin of Versions of
Bible.
Competition Suggested by an ALE
cation Made by Lyndhurst
Catholic Priest.

New York, Dec. 2.-Resulting from
the ban of the Roman Catholic church
placed by the Rev. T. j. Farley on her
class of 500 girls at Lyndhurst, Miss
Helen Gould has offered $3.50 in prizes
to be awarded for the best essays on
History Of the Version of the Bible
Approved by the Roman Catholic
Church." and .The Origin and History
of the American Revised Version of
the English Bible"
This competition will be open to the
world, and the offer is made thru the
Bible teachers training school, organ
lied by the regents of the University
of the State of New York.
Four hundred dollars will be given
the writer of the best essay. $3.50 for
the second best and 500 for the third.
Ever since she was a child Miss
Gould has had sewing class in
Lyndhurst. At an annual party Civ
en- the class by Miss Gould few weeks
ago sandwiches were served. AS 1T
happened to be on Friday, the Rev.
Father Farley was much disturbed,
because children of Roman Catholic
families were permitted to break the
rule of the church relating to the eat
| ing Of meat.
Notice was served on the clergyman
that in future Scriptures would be
read before the class and attention was

wrote: '"The church you represent
discourages the reading Of Scriptures
or the Bible"
Father Farley replied, denying the
allegations, but adding: But the
Roman aCtholic church does object
to reading the Protestant version,
which goes back only to the days of
Henry VIII. of England and was then
| got up for obvious reasons"
! Miss Gould now adds another word
to the controversy by writing thru her
secretary to DR.. w. w. White, pres1-
dent Of the Bible Teachers school: 1T
is strange that any: one acquainted
with ordinary facts in history could
make such statement concerning the
versions Of the Bible
So Miss Gould has decided to offer
prizes for the best essays regarding
the origin and history of the two
versions of the Bible.
DR.. White expressed the opinion
that the offer made by Miss Gould
would do more to stimulate the study
of the Bible than any other thing thai
has happened in recent years.
I'm case Roman Catholics will con.
sent to take part in the contest" saio
DR. White, their members certainly
will be added to the committee. 1t is
my idea the length of the essays
should be limited to 5000 words. The
conditions of the contest will be made
public as soon as possible"

Druggists say they have never ham
died a medicine that gave such univer-
sal satisfaction.
Paw Paw gives new life and strength
to the stomach so that 1T digests
everything that goes into 1t. Its effect
upon the nerves Is marvellous; it seems
to relieve them of all strain and irri-
tation. For insomnia it is proving
great blessing, as scores of people de-
clare that Paw Paw soothes and quiets
the nerves so that one can enjoy a
good nights rest and get up in the
morning feeling strong and refreshed.
Professor NMunyon especially asks
every weak and debilitated person to
try this Paw Paw remedy. He says
it makes old folks feel young and
weak folks feel strong. That 1t will
take away all need and desire for al
cohoIfc st&mulants. Alcoholic drinks
lift but let you fall. Paw Paw lifts
and holds you; 1t gives exhilaration
without intoxication.
