TO REVISE THE LATIN BIBLE.
Washington Has Two Members on
VuIgate Revision Beard.

Very Rev. Charles P. Grammar, Phi. D.,
and vice rector Of the Catholic Univer-
sity. and Rev. Henry Andrew POels,
S. T. D.. associate professor Of sacred
history at the university. have been ap-
pointed by the Pope as members Of the
commission whose duty it will be 10 re-
wise the Vulgate, the Latin edition Of the
Scriptures.
Through unofficial sources news has
been received in this city that the Pope
has issued a decree intrusting the re-
vision of the Yulgate to the Benedictine
Order. The decision to intrust the re-
vision to learned Benedictines is the most
important that has yet been announced
and is the outcome of the labOrs Of the
Papal Biblical commission, which was
established by the late Pope Leo XIII
toward the end Of his reign, in 1902, for
the consideration of all questions con-
nected with Biblical studies. To it Cath
olic scholars the world over apply in
cases of difficulty.
The news respecting the decision has
been received with profound interest
among Catholic scholars and theologians
in Washington. especially by those at the
Catholic University. This Biblical COM
mission is composed of leading Catholic
scholars and theOlogians, chosen on ac-
count Of their enainence in various coun-
tries Of the world. Only two Of them
live in this city,
Both DR.. Grammar and DR.. POels are
members Of the original Biblical commits
sion of twelve members. appointed by the
late Pope Leo XIII. with the late Cardinal
Parocchi as its chairman: but since the
membership of the commission has been
gradually increased until it now COM
prises about forty leading churchmen.
At the time OF the appointment of the
original commission, In 1902. DR.. Grammar
was its only American member Then
DR.. POels was connected with the diocese
of RuremOnde. in Holland. and was the
only Hollandese member OF the commits
sion. In 1904 DR.. POels was brought to
America as assistant professor OF church
history at the Catholic University, and
on October !, 1906, he was appointed as
sociate professor
All the members of the commission are
under what Is known enthusiastically as
the ''ponti1cal secret" and cannot, there
fore, discuss either the work of the Bibl-
cal commission or any OF its results. For
this reason neither DR.. Grammar nor DR..
Poels can discuss the revision Of the vul-
gate, so far as the work Of the commits
sion is responsible for the task.

THINK PRESIDENT IS HERE
Tourists Still Visit White House
Hoping to See Him.
Guide Books MisIead Disappointed
Strangers, Who Fail 10 Read the
Daily Newspapers.

Prior TO the declaration OF war be-
tween the United States and Spain, nine
years ago. it had been the custom for
years among the different Presidents TO
hold public receptions during the after
noon Of several days each week In
June. 1S9S. President Mckinley found
himself too busy TO give attention TO the
receptions, and the Idea has been a thing
Of the past ever since.
Several guide books sold IN Washington
still contain the information that the
President Of the United States viii re-

White House on the afternoons OF Mon
day, Wednesday. and Saturday Hardly
a day passes. notwithstanding the fact
that President Roosevelt is al Oyster
Bay for the summer, that visitors do not
inquire at the White House concerning
the reception. announcement Of which
they have seen in the antiquated guide
books.
There Is not paper in the country
but that has printed announcements and
stories Of the President at his summer
home at Sycamore Hill Still. people

Scaffolding occupies the main entrance
to the White House under the front
portico, the blinds are drawn at all the
windows, and the scenes OF activity so
much IN evidence at the executive man
sion in winter are conspicuous by their
absence. Still, the tourists come and go.

The story Of Paul Revere's midnight
ride is cherished bit OF patriotic lore,
which the icOnoclasts have not entirely
destroyed The school histories say the
signal lights were hung in "Old North
Church. on the present site Of Christ
Church. Boston, to announce the arrival
OF the British. Recent authorities declare
that the lanterns were displayed in the
Second Church" which was on North
square. William Dawes, who is said 10
have ridden with Paul Revere, is rarely
mentioned in the legends. perhaps because
his name did not so readily lend Itself to

in Boston from the 22d TO the 9th Of Sep

The national conference Of Unitarian
and other Christian churches held its last
regular session at Atlantic City, n. J.. in
1895. It was organized In 1866 for the
purpose of strengthening the churches
and societies which should unite In It for
more and better work for the kingdom Of
God. The basis OF fellowship is sub
stantially as follows:
These churches accept the religion Of
Jesus, holding, in accordance with his
teaching that practical religion is

any who while differing from US in belief.

the war. OF frequently holding little prayer
meetings before going into battle, and

OF telling in this connection. On an oeca-
sion when the general and a few devout
followers were about To enter a little
log house TO have a service OF prayer,
Gen Jubal a. Early came riding up.
''Will you join US, general?'' he was
asked.
With a grave face. but merry look in
his eye, Gen. Early replied:
