PRIEST ATTACKS BIBLE.

A London dispatch says that one OF
the chief dignitaries Of Westminster
Abbey, Canon Henson, has raised a
storm OF criticism, by a furious attack
upon the Bible, and especially upon the
Old Testament. Some Of the narratives
Of these venerable books he character
ICES acknowledgements and "demoral-
izlng;" he says they are pack of lies
too gross for liberation" With the
New Testament he finds less fault but
there is, nevertheless much that falls
under his criticism, He does not hesi-
tate to say that the "lndscrminate'
reading Of the Bible in public Is IAN ex-
tremoy perilous proceeding" and he
suggests the reading Of other Christian
compositions" as a substitute,
TO the Latter.day Saints this on
saught upon the Bible has a special In
terest, because the Book OF Mormon
Is generally assailed Ia the same way,
at least as far as incredible ana puet.
Ito" cover the ground. Good.sized
books have been written to prove that
It Is Just that. The thought naturally
suggests itself that II skeptlcism can
find the Bible both incredible, puerie
and immoral, It is no wonder II It finds
the Book Of Mormon the same, If the
two have the same origin, there
must be some resemblance be-
tween them. But II the Bible can with
stand the criticism Of blind critics, the
Book OF Mormon can. Neither is likely
to suffer from such attacks
The fact Is that the impressions re.
celved from outward sources, whether
literature, paintings, music, poetry or
nature, closely correspond TO what Is
within A blind man cannot enjoy the
beauties Of color and FORM and the one
who IL deaf IL dead to harmony II
takes a poetic nature to appreciate po-
etry, and in the same way, Il takes a
religious spirit to understand and en-.
Joy the beauties OF religion, Two tray.
elers may pass together through mu.
scum one may be bored and tired,
while the other may be in ecs,acy at
what he sees and learns The former
would, perhaps, feel more at home In q
concert hall, or a dme.show IL all de-
Ponds on inclination, and training, one
may see the hand Of God in the least
flower; another may not see any beauty
outside OF a bank account
Is II any wonder then that some find
the Bible and the Book Of Mormon "in.
credible and pLcrle,' while others re.
gard them as the most sublime specl.
mems Of literature, fun Of life and light?
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet"
was the criticism Of the royal poet Of
ancient Israel lie did not have the
New Testament, and only portion Of
the Old. His criticism was not Of the
higher kind, but II was true.

New York Evening Mail.

Barcelona Is the hotbed of revou-
tlonary arnarchism, and also Of politi-
cal dlsloyalty. Being the chief indus
trial city Of the kingdom. II possesses
every violent shade of European pro-
letariat fanaticlsm. Being the capital
OF Catalonia, and inhabited by a race
speaking a tongue Of It's own and pos
sessing a most cordial hatred for the
Castilians. 10 Castilian monarch is
ever quite persona grata within its
walls. Yet there Is no sympathy with
alnarchism In the Catalan movement.
This detestable attempt upon the
young king of Spain Will undoubtedly
be found, when sifted TO the bottom,
to be anarchism of the familiar vicious
type which resulted in the murder Of
King Humbert, the Empress Elizabeth,
President Carnot and other heads OF
state.

AN ORIENTAL IDEA.

A superficial observer OF conditions
In Oriental lands naturally concludes
that the people there are far behind
the western nations, IN civilization.
But the Orlentals often consider them
selves far In advance. They hold that
they, In many things. have passed our
stage OF advancement, and that we
are coming slowly after,
The condition OF women In Japan Is
an illustration Of this proposition.
There the women have no voice In the
affairs OF the state, and they have but
little liberty. The Japanese claim that
IN oden time this was not so. Then
the women had more liberty and more
responsibility for public affairs. The
result. they say, was deplorable, moral
". as recorded in their history. Under
the present status the japanese wo-
men, we are told are freer from crime
than most of their sisters in the world.
They are happy, too, and It must not
be assumed that they do not exercise
great Influence upon the affairs Of their
country. On the contrary they have
IL IF own way in nearly everything
By gentle sweetness they obtain more
consideration than the western cham
plons of rights

The explosion at Barcelona had the
effect of making King Alfonso Of Spain
an object Of universal interest for a
brief period, because It was erroneous
ly supposed to have been due TO the
bursting Of a bomb thrown for the
purpose Of taking his life. The young
monarch's notoriety was however,
short-llved, and the sensation and ro-
nance was taken out OF the incident

THE ATTACK on ALFONSO.
Worcester Gazette

UTCtHIVT IUHtIlt.
The news from Barcelona that an at
tempt has been made on the life Of
King Alfonso, adds one more argu-
nent to the long list against anarch-
istic teachings. Happily the king es-
capped without other injury than a scar.
But two unsuspecting peasants hap
pencd IN the way OF the bomb and
were badly injured by the explosion.
The king Of Spain has the reputation
Of being a weakling and IN TO this time
has shown no marked ability IN any
line. He would not be greatly missed
In the world of affairs, in case he
should decide to abdicate. But any
violent attempt TO remove him. cannot
but cause feeling Of resentment.

great interest from coast to coast. The

viction Is important not alone because
