There is every indication that a dis

far-reaching consequences. The Irv-

attend Miss Gould's sewing class, on
the ground that they We're encouraged
TO violate the rules of the Roman
Catholic church. In CORES pondence
that ensued between Father E4arley
and Miss Gould, the priest said:

ing an erroneous assertion. which SO
many Catholics. knowingly or
otherwise / do not say. persist in
falsely asserting and spreading -viz:

and which has come down to us un-
changed from the time OF Christ him
self. 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
was then gotten up for obvious reas-
ons. Neither will the Catholic church
allow private Interpretation of the
Scriptures. for then there would be
as many interpretations as there are
men and women whose interests or
passions would suggest"
Miss Gould thought CHS statement
inaccurate, and in conversation with
various versions on the subject WAS
impressed by the very general ignor-
ance about the facts concerning the
origin and history of the different YER

Desiring to stimulate investigation
and to secure brief, yet thorough
and popular statement of the facts for

prizes of $1,000, $500 and $3.50 for the
