 ''The papers as a whole indicate one weakness that is perfectly natural-the inability to spell correctly the names of Bible characters. Job, Abraham, Solomon and Samson have as many ways of spell ing their names as Shakespeare had, and the name Absalom appears almost in as many forms as the permutations of the alphabet will permit. This Is the natural result of training that is almost exclu- sIvely oral.
 Another point of interest is the fact that many children do not identify their Sunday school lessons with the Bible. When asked for the source of a biblical story 1t is generally attributed to their lesson papers rather than the Bible. This fact accounts for much of the confusion in the answers and of their association with facts of modern life

UTAH SENATOR IS
HIGHLY PRAISED
Prominent Congressman Says
Senator SmOOt Made Great
Name for Himself.

J. NJ Miller Of Council Grove. Kan,
congressman from the Fourth district of
that state for twelve years, and promi-
nent in national politics, stopped over in
Salt Lake yesterday 10 visit his former
law partner, Judge NJ. L. Richie of salt
Lake. Congressman Miller goes to the
Hawaiian islands as a member of the
Hawaiian commission appointed by the
congress to investigate conditions in the
insular possessions. He sails Tuesday.
Speaking of his acquaintance with the
Utah men in Washington, Congressman
Miller declared that no state in the union
was better represented than Utah -
said that Senator Reed SmOOt, in COnuCc-
ton with the tariff reform, had made
national name for himself, and more
favorable name than Senator AldriCh.
chairman Of the finance committee, had
done. "SmOOt is big man and d grow
ing one declared Miller, land the COun-
try as "a whole Will hear of him I'm many
national issues yet to come"
Miller is also personal friend of Con
gresham Joseph Howell. with whom he
was associated in several house commit
tees.
Discussing the tariff. Congressman Mil
Ter was Of the opinion that the present
solution would be final for many years to
come. and although there existed some
dissatisfaction. the future workings of the
bill would pDJVe its general adequacy.
The Kansas congressman was consider
ably identified with the western issue Of
the tariff and i'm that line succeeded in
forcing even the Kansas City Star. for
years politically opposed to him, to admit
the value of his services.
Miller is perhaps best known at the ma
UOnal capital as chairman Of the commit
tee on interstate and foreign affairs
which has most to do with the Panama
