Purity In Wearables As Well A..

! THE LITTLE WORD "oBEY." \

From the Washington Times.

# lol iC w III Wi lllS
The English bishops in c~onvocation
discussion the accepted marriage ser
vice, hesitated when they came to the
suggestion that the words love, honor,
and obey" be changed and that "obey"
be omitted. Changes Of any kind are
not regarded with favor in England,
and we may imagine the shock to the
minds of the majority of those vener-
able men when the proposition was Of
fered to make an alteration so radical
as this in an institution SO old as the
form of marriage service. Backed by
the women of advanced views. some
few of the younger set of England pre-
lates had the hardihood to offer a sug-
gestion Of this revolutionary character;
but to the older men, impregnable in
beliefs and customs, bound through
long years to tradition, regarding any
tampering with the established prac-
tees of centuries as leading the way
to anarchy and ruin. the simple men,
ton of a reconstruction of this sort
must have excited a feeling of acute
distress.
For many. many years English wives
have been loving. honoring, and obey
ing. Says an old playwright. "They
did wisely who placed love first. for it
includes all the rest" Shakespeare
voiced the opinion in his day in these
beautiful lines:
Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy
keeper,
Thy head; they sovereign; n that
cares for thee,
And for thy maintenance; commits his
body
To painful labor both by sea and land.
To watch the night in storms. the day
in cold
Whilst thou lest warm at home. Sc
cure and safe;
And Graves no other tribute at thy
hands,
But love, fair looks and true obedience
Toe little payment for so great a debt.
And Furthermore the poet says "wo.
men are bound to serve, low and
obey" n SO, doubtless, all women
as well as men thought in his day. At
present, however. a different view is
beginning to prevail, and the ladies'
quite a number of them apparently
balk at the little word obey"
In truth, the conceling or retention
Of the word is unimportant. If there
is no love, there is not likely to be much
Of either honor or obedience. Yet the
conservative English bishops are UNI
willing even to long debate the cues
ton of a change. To some OF those
rigid minds the mere thought probably
prognosticates social CONFUSION and
ruin. To the majority evidently 1t is
best to take M action, but to. await
further developments.

cess. DestroyerS with these great nets
between them have been able to eaten
the submarines, but in several of the
tests the destroyers have been techni-
cally destroyed by a torpedo from the
submarine. OF course, the submarine
woul have been destroyed itself, but
the naval advantage lay with the sub
marine, the percentage of loss in men
and money being about 100 to l..
Taking all things into consideration,
it is safe to say that there is no defense
against the submarine unless it is de-
tected, and now that it can remain UNI
der water from 20 to "a hours and have
a cruising radius of more than 80 miles,
it will be very hard to discover.
England has by far the greater
number of submarines and it is con-
coded that they are more highly de-
veloped than those of the other nations.
Her submarine corps has had much
experience and is most efficient. There
are now about rs submarines ready
for active service in the British navy.
Many of these can be carried on the
deck Of a dreadnough and slipped into
the water just before a battle or an at
tack on a Slockading fleet. Germany
has 81 submarines, France So. Russia
Ia. Austria six, and the other Euro
them.
Naval officers have differed in opin-
ion regarding the destructive power
and utility of submarines, but Sir Per-
cy Scott, the well-known British naval
authority, thinks very highly of them.
He said recently that submarines and
torpedo boats would decide the naval
battles of the near future. and backed
his contention with strong proofs.
England. If what he says is correct,
will have a tremendous advantage
over its adversaries, owing to the great
number and high efficiency Of her sub
marines"

NEW LIGHT ON SCRIPTURES
Have Found Proper Solutions
to Biblical Parallels,

Some years ago a Russian wrote a
fantastic (but non the less interest
ing on that account) book in which he
set forth that the intervening years
between the boyhood Of Jesus and his
appearance at the age OF. thirty years
ere chiefly spent IN India, INC that
it was there hat he obtained a knowE
edge Of which he made good use In
his ministry. Another Russian, Mich
olas Morosow, a biblical critic, recent
ly published a book on the revelation
of st. John. the sale Of which has
been interdicted by the Russian
church. Morosow claims to have dis
covered all the mysteries in the
Apocalypse. He AYERS that all the
signs of the zodiac are discoverable
in the book Of Revelation: that the
four cherubim are the four constella-
tons: the twelve gated celestial city
is the armament. This author claims
to have discovered the actual day in
which the Christian prophet wrote
Revelation; that the writer thereof
was not the apostolic st. John, the
beloved of Jesus, but St. John Chrys-
ostom, the golden-mouthed" patriarch
OF Constantinople and that the year Of
the writing was 395 A. D. In this Rus
slams argument 1t is set out that the
representation Of the heavens in the
Apocalypse corresponds exactly to
what 1t appeared from the Isle of Pat
mos on the evening OF September 80,
395, A. D.. and the like appearance
has since been witnessed on
this island.

an exciting and dangerous sport. The
hunters are In dugout canoes; two

the harpoon or barbed spear, to which
Is attached a stout rope and a float
Of ambatch. When the hippo comes
to the surface to breath, an attempt
10 made to steal upon him with the
harDoon; when this Is accomplished
the hunters make a hasty retreat from
the enraged beast, and in turn engage
his attention while attempts are made
to spear him by those in the other
canoes. When severely wounded a
hippopotamus goes ashore to rest or
to die, and MOI to attack his assail-
ants, a. a been 30 often reported.
The native hunters wait for this and
when the animal goes up out of the
water q volley of spears is thrown
into 1t, and slowly the huge beast
bleeds to death. The hunters do not
always escape. Sometimes the life
or . limb Of one Of them Is sacrificed
10 their daring. The hide Of the hip
Ipopotamus Is cut into strips and dried
to be sold to Arab traders who, In
turn. sell It to the whipmakers Of
IOmdurman and Egypt. Certain por-
