The contest was precipitated by few children
eating meat sandwiches on a Friday. The children
werep upils in the industrial school which Miss
Gould has instituted az Irvington-on- Hudson
on learning that the children had eaten meat on
a fast day Father Farley. the Roman Catholic
rector OF the parish. requested their parents
prevent their attendance at Miss Gould's school
There were about three hundred children in the
school before Father Earleys action. which re-
duced the number to two hundred and fifty. Other
members Of the school were also Of Roman Catholic
families. Yet the OF their parishes did
enter into the controversy.
Miss Gould shortly afterward wrote TO Father
Farley that she deeply regretted the ban which
he had placed upon her school. and added that she
planned to introduce Bible reading into the school
in future. In the letter Of Miss Goulds secretary

She thought il courteous 70 inform you OF this

In his reply. Father Farley wrote;

encyclopedias the following statements have been
cUlled:
No New Testament manuscripts have survived
from the time when Christ lived. A gap Of MANY
years exists between the days in which He was
earth and the date OF the first extant Christian
writings AS the Encyclopaedia Britannica says:
THE original copies Of the New Testament writ

I take this opportunity Of correcting err
roneous assertion contained in the end of your
note, and which so many non-Catholics knowingly,
or otherwise, do not say persist in falsely spread
ing The Catholic Church has never prohibited any
OF her members reading the Scriptures or Bible.
In every family whose means will permit the buy
Ing OF a copy. there You will find the authentic
version of Gods Word as authorized by the
Church. and which has come down TO unchanged
from the time OF Jesus Christ Himself. But the
Catholic Church does object to the reading Of the
Protestant version. which goes back only to the
days Of Henry VIII of England. and which was
then gotten up for obvious reasons. Neither will
the Catholic Church allow private interpretations
OF the Scriptures for then there would be as many
interpretations as there men and women whose
instincts or passions would suggest"
In the conditions governing the contest particu-
lar attention is called to the above statements of
Father Farley. and emphasis is placed on the fol-
lowing qualification:
"A part OF the duty Of the writer Of the paper
authentic version authorized by the Roman Catho-
lie Church TO be read in the homes OF the people q"
FROM subject of local interest the discussion is
growing to OF international scope. Dr. White
IS now receiving letters from Canada and Eng
land as well as all parts Of the United States
asking for further information. The essays may
De submitted any time before June / 1904
