PASTOR c. F. AKED SAYS
BIBLE CONTAINS ERRORS

NEW YORK. August 22.-That bible
worship is doing more than atheism to
empty the churches of the country is the
assertion of Rev. Charles +. Aked, pas
tor Of the fashionable Fifth Avenue Bap-
fist Church I'm this city. He insists that
there is no reason why the Bible should
be considered above criticism or free from
errors any more than any other book that
has been handed down from century to
century, passing through scores Of trans
latfonS from one language to another.
Elm the pages of the Bible" says DR..
Aked in the September Appleton's maya
zine. "are to be found historical errors,
arithmetfcal mistakes. Inconsistencies and
manifold contradictions, and, what is far
worse, one finds that the most horrible
crimes are committed by men who plead
God said i'm justification of their terrible
misdeeds. Moreover, the English Bible is
a version of version which is trans
latiOn of a translation. 1t has come down
through Hebrew, Greek and Latin into
English. In all its earlier stages ii was
copied by hand from one manuscript to
another by different writer's. a process
certain to result in many mistakes
DIR. Aked insists that he is not attack
ing the Bible itself. but merely the claim
for infallibility which has been set up
for IL. and he asserts that this claim for a
book in which it is possible for a child to
discover errors Is driving many intelli-
gent people away from the church. The
right Of every man to study and inter-
pref the Scriptures for himself he holds
is as great now as it was in the time of
Luther and Calvin and Zwinglius and
such an Independent attitude would do
more to strengthen the hold of religion
upon the multitude than any amount OF
preaching and teaching in defense Of the
infallibility of every passage In the Bible.

JEWISH ART MUSEUM
TO BE ESTABLISHED

NEW YORK, August oft is reported
from wilma, Russia, that the art society
of that city, known the m. NJ. Onto
kolsky,'' has decided to establish there
a Jewish industry-art museum. The So
ciety has appointed a special committee
for preparing the plans Of the museum.
and the committee has already decided
upon the following departments for the
institution: % A department for indus
trial art; t2) a department for handi-
crafts; (9 a department for Jewish art.
The first department will be given over
TO pictorial and sculptural models and
designs of decorated objects, woodwork,
jewelry and other work. 1t Is expected
that this department especially will help
to uplift some of the local industries.
The second department of the museum
will be devoted to exhibits, which will be
held from time to time, of improved
methods. machinery and materials that
are employed in the arts and crafts.
The third department will be given over
to distinctly Jewish objects of art-that
Is. works Of art that are especially made
for Jews and for Jewish PURPOSES such
as religious and ecclesiastical Objects;
architectural designs and decorations of
6ynagogues, copies of inscriptions on
tombstones, illustrated Jewish pubica-
tions, pictures and statues. So far no
such museum exists in Russia, the near
est approach to such an institution being
the private collections of Herr Bergson
in Warsaw and DR.. Weissberg in Yell
SaVetgrad.

Like a plowshare made from a sword is
the pulpit in the Cathedral Close on
Mount ST. Alban, because it was made
from the bronze OF Spanish cannon cap
tured in the recent war.
And this pulpit made from the instru.
ments of war and fighting now stands at
the foot of the peace cross, and from it
is preached the doctrine of peace, the
principles expounded by the Prince of
Peace.
In strange contrast are the uses to
which this bulk of bronze has been put
by man. A few years ago it was used
to make an instrument of torture and Of
death. And when put to that use it was
only in martial surroundings. Swords
changed against It; gun barrels marked
its polished surface; shot and shell were

ed the noise of battle. the roar of can
mons, the crack of rifles, the noise Of de-
struction and carnage and walls Of

discord and strife.
Its setting is very different now. Stand
ing beside it, one overlooks peaceful val
leys where agricultural pursuits are the
chief aim of the people, and the hills of
the Capital city, where hundreds OF thou
sands of people are living together in
harmony. On all sides are quiet, calm,
repose.
Sunday afternoons during the summer
whfte-robed choir boys and the clergymen
with theip vestments gather around this
piece Of bronze. sing the carols Of peace
and read passages from the gospel Of
concord.
This unique bronze reading desk was
recently presented to tho Cathedral of
SITS. Peter and Paul by Chaplain c. c.
Pierce, U.S.A. He. too, was formerly
surrounded by arms and soldiers. by the
roar of battle and strife. But he gave
much time to the pursuits Of peace. and
has now decided to give all his time to
preaching peace" While connected with

HUNGARIAN JEWS PLAN
UNION FOR PROTECTION

CRACOW, August 1O.-The Jews Of
Hungary are planning to organize a ma
tional Jewish organization on the lines Of
the Anglo-Jewish Association Of London
or the Hilfsverein der Deutschen julien.
The society will be known as the Hun
garian Culture Society. It's program will
be similar to that of the Alliance of
Vienna. 1t will seek to preserve Jewish
rights against any possible infringements
and will endeavor to improve the moral
conditions among the Jews. Special at
tention will be given toward the MAIN
tenance OF the Jewish schools. steps
will also be taken to prevent the bring
ing up In Christian homes and the ulti-
mate apostasy of Jewish children. Both
the orthodox and the liberal Jews are
joining hands in the formation Of this
society.
Perhaps the immediate excuse for the
creation of this union Is the rapid spread
OF anti-Semitism In Hungary. The anti
Semitic Volks-Partei Is growing from
day to day and 1t already counts 100000
members. The activities Of this organ
ization make UP q long list of outrages
and insults against the Jews.

Jews assembled at the Pavilion Thea

in the way of such scheme, but those
difficulties are dead. 1t had been urged
that no Jew could work on the soil, he
said. but events had proved that a Jew
took to the soil as a duck takes to wa
