skull. was found at least 25 feet away
and partly down the incline.
From the position in which the body
was found, it is believed the unfortu-
nate man was in sitting position

IS GREATEST CLASSIC.
DR.. Lyman Abbot So Terms the Bible
Wants II Studied.

Wants II Studied.
New Haven, Conn, Nov. 22.--Accord.
ing 20 DR.. Lyman Abbott, who was in
terviewed yesterday by the editors Of
the Yale News on modern literature, no
person is entitled to be considered Gull
tured who has not some acquaintance
with the great classics of England,
France, Germany, Italy and the ancients,
either directly or through translations.
In speaking Of the modern novel, Dr..
Abbott said:
There are two objects in reading a
novel; first, for simple recreationi sec
ond, to get pictures of life. My inn
preston IL that the modern novel, as
picture of life and character, is not
equal to the novel Of the last century.
We have no writer's Of today who can
equal Scott, Thackeray, George Eliot or
Hawthorne
'The other object Is to get pictures
of life, either TO learn how the other
half lives, as by reading Fargeon, for
example, or to get an Interpretation Of
human nature, as by reading Thacke-
ray or George Eliot. There are some
modern novelsts, such as Mrs. Hum
phrey Ward, who are well worth read
ing for this purpose. But, saken as a
whole, should say that oaa would be
more likely TO find careful studies Of
character in novels of the past than in
the novels Of the present"
In dealing with the classics, DR.. ABB
bott said "The greatest classic, of
course, is the Bible Unfortunately, the
theological controversies about the BIZ
BILE have prevented any agreement as
70 its study, aud therefore the study Of
this book has largely dropped out Of
our life. hope this is due to the fact
that there ia reaction against the old and
untenahle claim that IL is the absolute
and final authority, wholly without err
ror, coupled with an unwillingness on
the part OF those who have held this
view TO study it as other literature is
studied. | hope the time will come
when the Bible will be studied, as the
laws and literature Of the Hebrew people,
as the laws aud literature OF other peo-
pie are studied, and when no person will
be considered well educated who has not
some familiarity with IT,"
