CATHOLICS AND THE BIBLE.

Editor FL PasO Herald:
had no desire OF entering into an
argument on religion when ] drew at
tentiOn some time ago to loose state
ments made in a letter by Y. Y. Z. re-
Earding the attitude of the Catholic
church towards the study of the Bible
This is too large a question to be
threshed out in Letters to The Herald"
1t is of no avail for Y Y. Il. to try to
prove his statement by quoting mere
statements Of Others, who. no matter
how standard" their writings may be
considered. are just as biased as our
friend X. Y. z. seems to be. / might as
well go to king George, Of England. for
impartial information as to the kaiser's
motives in entering the present Eu-
ropean war.
The Bible ceases to be "the word of
God" when men interpret its meaning
to suit their own individual pleasure,
and the Catholic church, knowing this
full well has, in Isolated cases, con-
sldered II advisable to place restric-
tons on the promiscuous reading Of the
Bible. Those were times when men.
whom the church considered heretics,
were wing with each other in getting
out what the church considered mac
curate and erroneous versions Of the
Bible for the very purpose of combat
ting the teaching of the church. These
restrictions were necessary and rea-
sOnable. just as our federal government
has made laws regarding counterfeit
money. and the restrictions were made
Tor the sole purpose Of guarding the
Bible from corruptiOn-just as it was
guarded for 10 centuries before the
'refOrmation"-but the enemies Of the
church misrepresented the stand taken
by the church in the matter of making
these restrictions. and accused the
church of absolutely forbidding the
reading of the Bible under any circum-
stances. This explains the quotations
given by X Y. 4.
1t is regrettable that some heretics
were treated too severely not only by
Catholics but. land even more SOD by
Protestants. The church and state were
so closely related in those days how
ever, that heresy was considered an Of

cATTLE--Recsipts were smaller than
usual for Friday there being about 100
fresh head on sale. hardly enough to in
terest buyers In the trade. For the week
supplies have been pretty much the same
az last week or the corresponding week
last year. but the proportion of grass cat
tie has been larger than a year ago.
Trade today was nominally steady at
the weeks decline, which means that both
lat cattle and COW stuff are selling 250
abc lower than they were week ago and
the general tone to trade In decidedly weak.
Dealers are largely Of the opinion that
prines are finally down to summer basis
and there Ia every prospect OF a more salts
factory trade from now on
Cows and heifers are selling at the low
point OF the season. Packers have been get
ting plenty Of southern and western grass
stock Of lato and have boen very indif.
ferent buyers of the native Erassers. Veal
calves show some strength for the week,
best vealers now selling up around ell76.
but bulls. stays. etc, are generally some.
what lower than week ago.
In stockers and feeders values broke
badly the fore part Of the week and this
decline brought out country buyers in force.
For the past day or two shipments to the
country have been Of fairly liberal proper
tons end although prices are still right
around oVc lower than week ago there
u more life and activity about the trade.
with prospect Of fair clearance for the
week.
