Would Dynamite seminaries

Canon Hensley Henson. the famous
English Anglican divine. lately rector OF
the parliamentary church, st. Margaret's.
London. but now to become dean of Dur
ham. has Just closed tour of American
universities and theological seminaries
and sailed for home. He refused to talk
of the universities, what he thought of
them. but the seminares he called back
numbers, said they are turning out inn
possibles and wished he had dynamite
some spare time and the requisite per-
mission to go about America and blow
them up. He made careful distinction
between seminaries that acknowledge al
legiance to no religious body, and those
that are run by. Baptist for Baptist the
clogs. Methodists for Methodist, and so
on. 1t was only the latter he would dy-
Mantle. The former class he praised.
The canon thought the great blot upon
American moral standards is the di-
vorce mill. He protested to be shocked
by headlines In the newspapers announc-
ing the granting of divorce. and declared
Americans are undermining their moral
fabric. The Roman Catholic manner of
handling the divorce and remarriage mat
ter will not do, he said. but he felt sure
the churches can unite in putting an end
to the scandal In right way. The canon
has been in America for three months
under direction of the Rev. DIR. Edward
c. Moore of Harvard. Ministers who
heard him said his remarks on Scriptural
questions were most advanced higher
criticism, with a breadth in ecclesiasti-
cal matters qtiue unusual In promi-
nent Anglican.

CHURCH AUTOMOBILE

The. new edition of the Bible, in which
modern words appear and disputed
meanings are decided in ways to suit
Baptist theological views has been
twenty-five years preparing As long
ago as 1888, at a Baptist convention
held at Saratoga Springs. this revision
was proposed. and a tentative organiza-
fion formed, named the Bible union, to
secure funds for the revision and pub
location. A leading spirit in the task
was the Rev A. ]. Rowland, for many
years the head of the American Baptist
Publication society, and to that society
was assigned the task of bringing out
the translation when completed. The
money to pay the cost has been raised,
much of it with difficulty, by public sub
scription and chiefly from Baptists.
The foremost scholars in superintend-
sng the work of translation and revision
were Prof. Barnard c. Taylor Of Crozier
Theological seminary, Prof j. r. Sam
pey of the Southern Baptist seminary
at Louisville, Prof Ira NJ Price of the
University of Chicago, and the late
president Harper of the same uniyer-
sity. Prof. T. j. Conants earlier work
in the Pentateuch was used by Prof.
Taylor, the latter also revising the
books of Job, Joshua, Ruth, First and

Perils of Corean Pastors

The Rev. DR.. Wilton Merle Smith of
New York, just back from Japan and
Corea, and Methodist Bishop Harris of
Corea, just now in America to attend the
Nets odist foreign board meeting, but
fastening back to the far east at once,
give directly opposite accounts of Japan
csc intentions toward Corean pastors
One declares Japan to be guilty of acts
that are blot upon her claim to civiliza-
ton, and says Christian prospects in
Japan are under a cloud The other says
Japan has acted with high honor, and
that Christian prospects in the far east
were never brighter.
Some two years ago Prince Ito was
murdered on a railroad platform in Man
churia. The man who hunted down the
conspirators who were. behind the muir
der is now governor general of Corea.
Two Corean malfactors were arrested for
some offense, and accidentally there was
discovered a plot to murder this governor
general The plot having been I'M
earthed further Protestant Christian
pastors of Corea were found to be in
volved. Indeed. two Methodists were in
the number, and even the name of Bishop
Harris and some other Americans got
mixed up. The total number of pastors
arraigned was 123, and few under 100
were convicted The cases have been APP
pealed The pastors were heads of some
of the largest congregations in Corea.
The Rev. DR.. Wilton Merle Smith,
leading New York pastor and member
of the Presbyterian foreign board, says
the pastors were convicted solely upon
their own confessions, but that these con-
fessions. wrung from the prisoners by
torture, were afterwards repudiated by
all. lie calls the convictions gross mis-
carriages of justice, a blot upon Japan
national honor He talked with physi-
clans who treated some of the pastors
for their tortures. He found Japanese
self-sufficent and proud. and believes
them to be land grabbers from China,
possibly from Mexico He says they are
land hungry insincere in many of their
professions, and determined that their
own religions shall have sway wherever
possible rather than western beliefs. Es-
pecially severe is he upon Japanese treat
ment of Corea
Bishop Harris fatty contradicted all of
these reports. To the Methodist minis
tiers of New York he personally and pub
licly stated, within a week. that Amer-
can Methodists have no cause for fear
for the welfare of Methodists in Corea, or
of any Christians there. He states that
the japanese government accidentally
discovered the plot. and to its surprise
discovered the part of Christians in it.
He evidently believes pastors to have
some measure of guilt, for he says that,
being found out, they must now take
their medicine He declares Japan's
Treatment of Corea to be high minded and
honorable, and that Methodists are max
ing progress in Japan and Corea as stead
lily and surely as in other years. 1t will
be remembered that the secretaries of
American foreign boards having work in
Japan and Corea appeared before our
state department and answered certain
questions from their point of view, but
asked the United States to take no ac-
ton. y

The Catholic Extension society, with
headquarters in Chicago, has an auto
mobile chapel. Its main features are
altar and sleeping accommodations for
priest and chauffeur. The altar provid-
ed, it is possible to offer seats out of
doors in suitable weather, and as the
auto chapel is to do work chiefly in the
southwest this winter it is expected
the weather may not interfere with the
plan. Sleeping places are provided,
not so much for comfort as to save no.
tel expenses. The exterior of the auto
resembles a carryall, save the excellent
but prominent lettering on the auto
top.
The initial experiment Of auto chapel
was made by the Rev Barnard Waugh
an of London, whose chapel is some
what larger than the American one.
Its campaigns have been carried on
during the past three or four months
in the eastern counties in England
chiefly Norfolk, and the distances being
short by rail- additional priests have
gone to towns by appointment for open
air services. Some Protestant opposi-
ton was stirred up, and bands of Bap-
fist ministers adopted the follow the
trail plan of campaign. used by repub-
licans and progressives in the recent
political campaign here. and went from
town to town Immediately behind
Father Vaughan's campaigners. A
great deal of public interest was
aroused, and crowds attended all meet
ings, both Catholic and Protestant.

Second Samuel, and the Psalms and
Proverbs. Professor Sampey's work
was wholly in the Old Testament. Pres
ident Harper engaged in the work
while i'll, his task being revision of
Isaiah and the minor Prophets The
object Of the revision was to secure
text that will be faithful to the orig
inal, especially as Baptists hold the or
iginal to be. There was also the desire
to be rid of archaic or old fashioned
forms of words
The most striking change is that of
the insertion of the word immense in
brackets after the word "baptize'
wherever the latter occurs. This is
the crucial Baptist tenet. Other
changes are not primary, but merely
interesting, as the employment of the
word man for Adam in the earlier
chapters of Genesis, and woman" for
Eve; the words great fish" for whale
in the Jonah Nineyeh story and the
use of the word underworld" for hell
as often as the latter occurs. Changes
that cannot possibly be questioned, yet
startle at first include the simple 1872
word love for '1oveth," and lead"
for rleadeth," and so on. The book it,
self in appearance reminds one of any
copy of the Bible, the work being ex-
cellent.
Bible, missionary and other society
officials, and foremost pastors, even the
Baptist ones, refuse so far to discuss
the new version, and so far as indica-
tions go show little interest in it.
few say il Is an assertion of the ex-
IRENE Baptist position on form of Bap-
tism, started long ago and coming to
expression at a moment when unity is
in the air They intimate but will not
say that it is therefore discordant and
out of its time. Others say it will go
the way of similar revisions. of which
there are many, and that there are far
more pressing matters before the

edge of it and refuse to talk

course becomes necessary, is now re-
duced to 60. of whom 30 are Italians. This
reckoning counts Cardinal Falconio an
Italian, as, of course, he is although a
naturalized American citizen. He is now
a member of the Curia, or governing
body of the church in Rome, and will
not return t othis country. In the cleo
ton of a new pope he will be reckoned
with Italians. The reduction in number
in the college has been rapid of late. The
last death is that of Cardinal Capecela-
tro. Archbishop of Capua
This lare archbishop was more gener-
ally known outside of his church than
most cardinals because of his great learn.
ing and his many writings. He was the
librarian OF the Holy Roman church, and
ha dbeen such for many years. He was
in his S9th year, and died OF old age.
With majority of 10 Italians in the col
lege it is seen that Pope Plus X follows
as did his professors the conservative
policy. so that any talk at this time
about sacrificing the Italians. and Great
ing large numbers of American, English
or German cardinals is idle It is pre-
dicted that not more than five cardinals
will be named in February, If so many,
and there are not a few who think that
no eonsistory will be held at that time.

Debs, Warren and Sheppard were cited
for contempt by the federal court in To-

charge which led to today's arrests. They
were discharged at that time by Judge

The defendants admitted payment of the
money but said it was to discharge

The indictment charging misuse of the
mails resulted from the publication of

POPE ENJOYS GREAT
MOTION PICTURE DRAMA

"The Coming of Columbus a NOV
ing picture drama in three reels just
completed by the Selig Polyscope
company and just released to every
licensed theatre in the world, is the
most expensive, the most elaborate
and most wonderful graphic moving
picture film ever made.
The vital events in the life of the
great discoverer who gave new
world to civilization are reproduced
with historic eXactness.
The cost of the picture was over
$4,000. Never before have any of
the great picture industries expended
such a sum on single picture to be
placed in the balance, to be weighed
and judged by critical spectators as
to its educational worth, historical
value, sentimental charm and spec
tacular magnificence.
OF interest to all Catholics and to
the world at large is the fact that
the films already have been presented
before Pope Plus Y, who enjoyed
the picture hugely and sent his bles-
sing and medal to Mr.. Selig by Fa-
ther Tonello. 1t Is the first time the
Pope ever gave his official approval
to commercial enterprise.
The magnificent Installation of tho
incidents in the life and discoveries
of Columbus is presented in three
reels, to be seen at the Grand hteatre
