THE SHORTER BIBLE

The heretical, rationalistic force:

she wreck they have produced
They are responsible for the late
war. They are also responsible for
the crime wave sweeping this coun-
try and Europe. The orgy of sin
and crime can be traced directly to
false teachings. Like the vultures
they make feast of the decaying
carcass. Not satisfied with the
murder, expense, werck, and ruin
produced, they have written a
shorter Bible which will perpetu-
ate the orgy.
The astonishing thing is that
there are leaders connected with
the Y. NJ. c. A., and the Y. w. c..
A, who have lent their names and
their influence to the infamous,
hell-born production called the
Shorter Bible. If the Y. NJ. c. A.

RIGHT LEG IS MANCLED:
AMPUTATION FOLLOWS

Accident Suffered AT 4:30

right leg being so badly mansled It
had to be amputated. He died sever
al hours later at the Mt. Vernon hos
pital.
From accounts recited since the ac-
cident Givens had been one OF crowd
Of men accustomed to frequent the
"Jungles," a district the location OF
which at the southwestern edge Of the
city is we'll known to every resident
Of Mt. Vernon. Tuesday afternoon
Givens attempted to board Pennsyl-
vania railroad yard engine on the spur
track connecting tb4 IRennsylvania
and B. & o. r. X. lines intending to
return to his home, lis East Water
street.
The mans grasp upon the handholds
being insecure he fell the wheels Of
the engine passing over his right leg.
The member was badly mangled.
The Miller & O'Bryan ambulance
was called and the injured man was
removed to the Mt. Vernon hospital
An examination OF the injury by sur
geons indicated immediate operation
to be imperatively necessary. The
leg was accordingly amputated three
inches above the knee.
Givens died IL p. m. Death was
the result as much Of lowered phys.
ical condition, it is believed, as it was
from the shock Of the injury and Op.
Grafton following. When brought to
the hospital the mans physical and
mental condition gave evidence Of a
considerable degree of intoxication
There seems to be more or less good
reason to believe that his condition
was the result of too great an indulg.
ence in that. quality Of illicit liquor
that those frequenting the "Jungles'
are accustomed to imbibe.
Certain symptoms manifested in his
physical condition indicated, it is al
legged, that he may have imbibed 9
