STRAINS EMULATE
 VENERABLE CUSTOM

Torrington, March 2S.-Rev. Henry s. Whitehead, curate of Trinity Church, was called upon suddenly last Sunday afternoon to officiate at the betrothal service of Peter Nassif and Emily Kamar, 8 Syrian youth and maiden. Miss Emily, a handsome cul- tured brunette, who recently came with her mother and sister from their home in ancient Jaffa, retain great -veneration for the traditions and cere- monies which in her native country are essentially the same today as they were 5000 years ago.
 The home was thronged with guests and when at the close of the betrothaI service an uncle of the lover entered in a. robe of Oriental splendor drop ped on his knees before the white robed priest and kissed his hand, it was the last touch necessary to trans port the gathering from modern Tor rington to the sacred courts of the synagogue at Jerusalem. The cere- mony ended, the solemn scene was changed to the joyous wedding feast in which pom egranates, figs, Syrian condiments and viands were served in variety and abundance.

COUNCIL UPHOLDS
 EXPELLED DEACON

New Haven, March 28-The action Branford in disrnissing Deacon J. J. V. Cuning gham last winter was charg- ed as haSty and uncongregational, in a resolution adopted by the ex parte council of Congregational church rep resentatiVes from New Haven and nearby towns gathered here yester- day afternoon to consider the case They find the charges against MT Cuning ngham were not sufficient to War rant his dismissal. The session was held in the Church of the Redeemer in Orange street and was presided over by Rev. Franklin CountryTnan, of the East Foxon Congrega ational church.
 Charges alleging opposition to the pastor, Rev. s. K Tonapkins; ineffi- general unrest among the congrega- ham, the latter part of last year, and from the church. The deposed clerk immediately appealed for another trial on the grounds that the previous trt1a1 was not fair, in that the vote was taken on the same night the charges were made and he was not given an opportunity to defend himself. His request for a new trial was denied, so he then asked the church to call a mutual council Of Congregat tional ministers to consider his case. This likewise was refused, so he then set about to secure an |ex parte council which consists of the pastors and one member of each of the church 'cOngTez gations in this vicinity.

rCE-AND PRICE.

The news that the price of ice is to be advancer here this summer Is about as pleasing it IS unexpected. IL ts improbable that there will be areat suffering in Hartford. People ~yno can afford to pay any price for fee will pay it and swear at either 4he icemen or the weather; people who will be pinched by the advance will try to econornize on something else: and charity will look after the rest And people who accept such conditions uncomplainingly will ac- cEl1ire something of a reputation as cheerful philosophers.
 Charles w. Morse, ex-ice king and ex-convict but considerably more ex- pert at the first than at the latter, debarioing from an ocean steamer the other day said there wasn't any sense in tolerating an ice famine. The ar tificIal plants. he said, could be en- larged to take care of the northern communities as they do throughout the south and West Indies.

FATHER GOMPPH'S INTERESTING TALK
 ON BIBLE HISTORY

Remarkably interesting was the ad- dress delivered last night at the Y. M. C. A. by the Rev. Charles L. Gomph, rector of Trinity Episcopal the Bible study season. George s. Hawley sang, with William B. Dav- enport at the piano.
 Father Gomph said the Christian religion and the bible had such vital ity that they could not be destroyed an open-n1tnded study of the Bible to the same objections which were of fered every time it was revised or newly translated in times past. He said it was 9 book of divine substance but put together by human hands and from that standpoint was not without minor fnperfections in form but true in substance.
 Three sources furnished us our pres ent Bible, old manuscripts, old yer sions and the writings of the fathers of the early church There are about 100 of the old manuscripts, 1,5O0 old versions and many more authoritati tive writings of the fathers. In the fourth century St. Gerald, a very learned monk made a great translation since known as the Vulgate and now ad- nitted a very true one but he was called a heretic at the time. Then in the 14th century Wyc1iffe made a transla tion Of this same Vulgate and he was accused of being impious for this at first refused Vu1gate had now become sacred in the 16th century Tyndale made a translation which in many ways formed the basis of our present Bible which we now hold sacred yet at that time the church burned him because it was thought his version was destructive.
 Since the authorized version three very important 1nanuscripts have been found. They are the Alexander, tho Vatican manuscripts and the one
