W. mission of the Protestant Episcopal
Church In this country has been working on
the matter, and has decided to recommend a
shortened form of the law given to Moses by
Jehovah on the Mount "a form. according
TO Bishop Whitehead. of Pittsburg. the chair
man OF the commission, more in conformity
with the thought and conception OF the TWEEN
tieth century than that OF the time when they
we're given.
This revisonal body ia made up OF seven
bishops, and is called the Commission on the
Revision and Enrichment of the Book OF Com.
mon Prayer which Is the gnidebook of the
Episcopal Church. They will meet again in
New York during Easter week to prepare a
final report for the printer When the trenniai
convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church
meets next October it will decide whether or
not the Decalogue in the abbreviated form to be
recommended will be adopted.
Bishop Whitehead In discussing the proposed
changes with representative Of this newspaper
said:
The commission is almost all In the same
mind regarding the changes In the wording
not in the spirit or meanngof the Ten Com
msndments, so that feel the whole church. as

convention. will probably read 81 follows:
I. Thou shalt have no other gods before
Me.
2. Thou shalt not take the name Of tho
Lord thy God in vain.
3. Remember the Sabbath Day to keep II
holy
L. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy
work.
s Honor thy father and thy mother
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
S. Thou shalt not steal
g. Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor.
TO- Thou shalt not coyet anything that is
thy neighbours.
The most cynical critics admit that our Com.
mandments come from the time of Moses and
most probably due to hin,. But some have
long since raised the question Of the original
form OF the Commandments. Even the language
in which they originally written has been
questioned. 1t Is admitted that they wore not
written in the Hebrew characters known
as SUCH for these are admittedly the invention
OF Ezra the Scribe. and date back no further
than the sixth century b. c. The Hebrew script
OF earlier times has been found only on two
rock inscriptions the Sloan and the Moabite
Stone, resembling the Phoenician script
All Of these considerations have led scholars
90 believe that the original language in which
Moses wrote the Ten Comma ndments was not
Hebrew at all. but Cuneiform, the script Of Baby
onla. closely allied to Hebrew as the mother
Semitic language but still distinct from It.
The eminent Semitic scholar NJ Philippe Ber-
ger long since came to the conclusion that the
Decaogue written In the wedge.shaped
characters OF Babylonia. and Dr. Edouard Ma
VILE the famous Egyptologst. claims also that
this script the Cuneiform. explaining that
1t was believed to be especially holy or as It Is
expressed in Exodus xxxll.. l6 the writing OF
God. and that the Ten Commandments were
inscribed upon the tablets OF stone in this
writing.

that the versions OF tine Ten Commandments In

erai words. tending TO support the idea that orig
'haily these Commandments were given In n
brief form and only expanded later according
TO tho sacred scribes who were editing the Holy
Writings
In the Fourth Commandment, for instance In
the Deuteronomic version the words Keep
the Sabbath Day to sanctify II, as the Lord thy
& God hath commanded thee" The phrase after
sanctify II does not appear in Exodus. The
concluding phrase OF this Commandment Is
