IGNORANCE OF THE BIBLE.

How to Tighten the gross darkness OF the
age chid's mind, and OF the average srown-up's
mind WELL the subject OF the Bible was the
title of address given before the wonen's con-
ference of the Society for Ethical Culture yester
day afternoon at the Ethical Culture School. by
Percival Chubb
There is no doubt Mr. Chubb maintains that the
Bible is being eliminated literary and edu-
catonal force. The reason for this is plain. Be
ing longer regarded as book that must be
read, IL Is simply great book which may be read
And who reads great books?' asked Mr.. Chubb
The Bible is going other great things are 60
ing?'
Some people think that the literature OF any time
is the most profitable reading for the people of
that, time. but Mr.. Chubs thinks il absolutely
necessary to keep in touch with the great classics
OF the past, and the Bible, he said is the great
est classic of conduct. the legacy of people with
a sublime passion for righteousness.
Moreover" he continued, English literature IS
to understand it without knowing the Bible Other
wise the force of these great rberations is lost
How remedy this defect modern education
Mr.. Chubb admitted 10 be difficult problem.
Plato would have prohibited the reading OF any
thing that presented the gods IN an unworthy
light. and many modern parents don't want their
children read the Bible for the same reason
Mrs Elizabeth Cady Stanton feared that it might
impart degrading views of women. and some peo-
pie object to the most beautiful Of the parallels
for other reason than that they were uttered by
Christ.
In spite Of all these difficulties Mr. Chubb
thinks it would be possible TO select from the
Bible for the of children such passages as are
literary units and give opportunity for doctrinal
teaching" and TO find enough OF them to make of
them quite a respectable collection

BERMEL and KISSEN4.
President of Queens Mentioned an
the Parh. Inquiru.

For the first time in the inquiry into the sale OF
Kssena Park the city for than $500, 900 the
name of Joseph Bermel, President of the Borough
of Queens publicly brought into the investiga-
ton yesterday when Nathan Vidaver Deputy At
torney General, appeared before Justice Garretson,
in the Suprsme Court, Flushing. George Motz, a
notary publN in the employ of a brewing company
of BROOKLYN. summoned before the grand jury in
Long Island City, where the park sale is being
inv estgated had refused to answer important ques
tions and Mr.. Fidaver had him summoned before
Justice Garretson.
Il have been assigned by the Attorney General
as a special deputy to conduct the investigation
now going before the Queens County Grand Jury
in relation the sale of plot of land in Flushing
known Kissena Park" said Mr.. Tidaver- ITO
day there is being presented the grand jury the
case of the People of the State of New York against
Joseph Bermel"
Then Mr.. Vidaver said that Motz had declined to
answer questions put him, He asked con-
cerning two mortgages issued by Joseph Bermel TO
which he CMotz) Is alleged TO have appended his
signature in his official capacity" Furthermore
Mr. Vidaver said, Motz declined to accompany him
to court unless he could bring along Congressman
Willett as his counsel The justice said
M Motz you have taken entirely indefensi-
BILE and inexcusable position in refusing to answer
You must answer the questions. They do not in
voIve you crimnally. Your refusal to answer is
nexcusable contempt of court Go back and an
the questions or you may find yourself in the
custody of the Sheriff
After again refusing to allow Congressman VIII
lett to make an argument the justice directed Mr.
Vidaver to have a transcript made OF MOTIFS exam
ination to be used in contempt proceeding should
he still decline to answer
The belief is prevalent in Queens that Motz con-
tinued obdurate before the grand jury AFTER his
turn but just what the outcome could not be
learned. From a remark of Mr Vidaver that he
might find il necessary TO go before Justice Gar
retson again to-day it was inferred that Motz has
been given the night TO think over the situation.
