is, however, a splendid place to sit
down on, and whoever wrote, in the
New Testament, the account of the
angel sitting on that stone had prob
ably seen the one at the tomb of the
Kings of Israel and thought the doors
of the two were alike, and they are
alike in principle; but the stone that
rolled away from the tomb of the
Kings is a nice place to sit down on,

think that at the tomb of the
Kings it is possible that by STOPPING
one may see from the outside, better
into the tomb of the Kings, but there
is no more occasion for STOPPING to
see into the tomb of Jesus than there
is for STOPPING to look into an ordn-
airy room in a dwelling house.
So that 1t seems probable that the
New Testament writer who described
Peter as STOPPING to look into the
tomb of Jesus also made that mis-
take by supposing It was like the
tomb of tho Kings Thestory about
the young man." or angel who was
seen Sitting on the right side" of the
tomb, inside, is absurd because there
is no place there for anybody to sit
without sitting on the edge of one Of
the graves in the tomb and putting
his feet down in grave.
Another account says there were
two angels sitting one at the head and
the other at the foot of the grave Of
Jesus.
could not tell which was the head
and which the foot, but at one end
of the grave nobody could sit because
the grave goes right up to the wall
of the sepulcher, or tomb, and nobody
could sit at the other end unless he

his feet down in the grave.

The page contains an account and

and processes to be an account of the
true grave of Jesus, which is outside
the walls of Jerusalem, and not the
fake thing exhibited for money In the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher. But.
even then, the account is inaccurate

New Testament, and the pictures

tiers are nothing at all like the grave
of Jesus. have given the description

impossible is fully explained in Dog

SECT JEALOUSY RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE ATTACKS ON BIBLE.
DR.. Dabney Suggests Text Book for
Bible Study in Schools.

Jealousy among the different reli-
gious sects is responsible for the fact
that the Bible now has no place in
many of our public SCHOOL, Said
DR.. C. w. Dabney, President of Cincin-
natl University, in an address before
the Evangelistic Alliance Monday.
"The trouble is that each one of
you is afraid the other fellow will
teach his ISM Those who disbelieve
in the Bible are not the men who are
responsible for the fact that II has no
place in the public schools. but dis
agreement among believers. | believe
it is the greatest book of wisdom
given to man, and ought to have a
place in the schools. 1t is impossible
to understand good literature without
a knowledge of the Bible. and yet chill
dren are barred from 1t, while their
parents quarrel over it."
Dr. Dabney urged that an effort
be made in Cincinnati for ministers
of all denominations to get together
in the preparation of textbook from
the Old Testament. which could be at
least read In the schools. He said
he did not believe the Bible should
be used in the schools as book
of doctrine, nor should the school be
turned into a prayer meeting.

The Cincinnati BOARD of Education

books shall be read, and no religion
taught, in the public schools.

against that decision by Rev. d. M.
Pratt of Walnut Hills Congregational
church. The other is report of what
was said favoring the teaching Of reli-
gion in the schools, by DR.. Dabney Of

ed off was published in the Cincinnati
Post of April TO-
You will see, at once, how nearly
you and the doctor agree. He says
he believes that the Bible is the great
est book IL wisdom given to man.
Had not the Editor better stop
claiming relationship with the doctor,
or the readers of the Blade will con-
clude that the limb must have struck

Possibly you had better not say,

Dear sir-I enclose you clippings

to promptly, and I know of none bet
ter suited to the job than yourself.
In. this country where there are diff

to talk about their Bible and sectar-

DR.. Dabney is only my nephew by
marriage. l am glad it's no worse.
He is out for the stuff. and he gets it,
SIS, 100000 a year, and fine residence
guaranteed for years-and religion
is the thing to get 1t out of.
He is good man excepting his reli-
gion-Presbyterianism, the worst Of
all the brands. He is scholarly in
other matters, but / have never seen
in him, any intelligence on the SUBJ
ject of religion.
The University of Cincinnati will
never rank high so long as he is at
the head of it. The clipping about the
Washington G. H., Ohio, matter is
that on a liquor vote in the town, the
town went wet" by a bigger vote
than that for Roosevelt. and that the
church bells rang, and the women
prayed all day, and that the Prohibs
bought votes, though it does not say
that they used whisky.
The heading and article about DR..
Dabney are as follows:
