DRY FANATICS CHANGE EVEN
THE WORD OF GOD


"Censors of the Lords work" was
the Characterization given to COM
pliers of the "Shorter Bible" by
Captain w. Ii. Stayton, executive
head of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment, who charges
that the latest revision of the Bible
was inspired in the interest of pro-
hibition propaganda.
He predicted, in the language of
Revelations, that those who have
deleted favorable references to wine
or have substituted cake and raj
sins" were "doomed".
He said more than one hundred
alterations and deletions had been
made in the ''up-to-date Prohibition
Bible" and that this was the work
of Charles Foster Kent, Professor
of Biblical Literature at Yale Uni
versity; Professor G. T. Torrey, also
of Yale; Frederick Harris, of the
Young Mems Christian Association;
Ethel Cutler, of the Young Women's
Christian Association, and II. A.
Sherman, head Of the religious de-
partment, Charles Seribner's Sons.
I'm every instance where the
word wine is favorably mentioned
in the Holy Bible it has been de-
leted or the meaning completely
changed in the Shorter Bible F" said
Captain Stayton. "On the other hand
in every instance where the words
wine and strong drink are mention
ed unfavorably, these references are
retained. In many of the former
cases, the word wine has been
changed to new wine.
"All references to the marriage
feast at Cana, including Christ's first
miracle, the changing of water into
wine, have been suppressed by the
censors of the Lords works." Cap
tain Stayton declared.
Among the alterations Captain
Stayton charged these:
Holy Bible, III Samuel, vi, 10:
"And He dealt among the people, as
well to the women as men, to every
one cake of bread, and good
piece of flesh and flagon of wine. "
Shorter Bible, page 20S: "And dis
tributed to the whole assembled
multitude roll of bread, a portion
of meat and cake of raisins."
Holy Bible, Judges, tx, Is: "Should
leave my wine which cheereth God
and man?' Shorter Bible, page 1872:
Shall | stop yielding my juice that
gladdens gods and men,"
Among favorable references in the
old Bible to the moderate use OF
wine and strong drink, deleted from
the revision, Captain Stayton cited,
Hachariah. tx, II: "For how great
is His goodness and how great is
His beauty. Corn shall make the
Young man cheerful and new wint
| the maids"
Joel, ii, 10: eyes, the Lord viii
answer and say unto His people, BE
hold, will send you corn and win,
and oil"
| Timothy, v, %: Drink no longe
water, but use little wine for tn,
stomach's sake and thine often in
firmities."
Deuteronomy, xiv, 81; "And thoi
shall bestow that money for what
soever thy soul lusteth after, 70
oxen, or for sheep or for wine or 70
strong drink or for whatsoever tn!
soul desireth."
Numbers, xviii, Z: an the hol!
place shall thou cause the stront
wine to be poured unto the Lord fol
4 drink offering. Y. Tribune.

DISORDERLY
HOUSE RAIDED
New Hope Citizens Determine To
Stop Public Nuisances

The home of Eliza Peterson on
Mechanic street in New Hope was
raided by Pennsylvania State Troop
ers last Monday. Nearby citizens
have for some time complained of
the disturbances created at the
Peterson home, but there being no
constable in the borough now, it
was necessary to get the State
Troopers from Doylestown before it
could be stopped.
Warrant was sworn out before
Justice Clinton Ohlinger and the raid
was conducted by Corporal Hans and
Trooper Strange. Besides Eliza Pc
tersen, others arrested were Irwin
Truman, who also lived at the
house, Irene Jaynes and Joseph Tri-
vers, of Philadelphia. All are ne
groes.
They were arraigned before JUS
tice Oblinger on the charge of
drunkenness and disorderly conduct
They were fined S12.25 each, which
they at first refused to pay, but
Justice Oblinger reports that they
finally produced the fines. He said
he understands they are going to
leave town, but if they don't it
is tHe pidlH uuby Oh cltlZeHS WHO
are aware of the disorderliness to
keep calling for the protection of the
State Police until the nuisance is
broken up.
The disorderliness resulting in the
above arrests began Sunday and
continued over to Monday. People in
the neghborhood charge that this
has been going on for some time,
with people coming and going at
the house during all hours of the
night and day. There are others who
could be named who have been
frequenting this resort, but who
were in some manner informed of
the impending raid, and they es-
capped. The might not be so lucky
next time.

A Sign of
Good Luck?

When Mark Twain was editor
of a Missouri paper reader
wrote to him saying that he
had found spider in his copy
of the current issue. Would the
editor please say if this was a
sign of good luck? To this
Mark Twain replied:
Finding a spider in your pa
per was neither good luck or
bad luck for you. The spider
was merely looking over our
paper to see which merchant is
not advertising, so that he can
go to that store, spin his web
across the door, and lead life
of undisturbed peace ever after
ward"

Postmaster Rerktey
Is Buried Today

B. Frank Barley, postmaster of
this city, and one of Hunterdon
County's best known citizens, died
at his home on Coryell street Mon
day morning, after an illness of
several months from cancer of the
face. He had been afflicted for a
year or so, but was able to visit
the postoffice up to the middle of
March, when he became unable to
leave his home.
The funeral will be held this af-
ternoon at his late home. with the
Rev Theron Lee, pastor of the First
PRESBYTERIAN church, in charge, and
terry under the direction oof LaBaw.
Mr.. Barley was born in New
Hope in 1858 coming to this city
in 1873 and residing here ever since.
His parents were Jonathan and Eliz-
abeth Atchley Barley. The former
has been dead a number of years,
but the latter died within recent
years, at an advanced age.
For years he was an employee of
the local shops of the Belvidere
Delaware Railroad, and later served
in various public capacities. He SER
we'd several terms in the old city
council, being one of its active fight
ing spirits away back in the days
when strenuous efforts were being
made to introduce the new-fangled
electric lights on the public streets
Some didn't have any faith in them.
but Frank Barley did, and they got
them.
He served several terms as door
keeper in the New Jersey Legisla-
ture, was member of the Hunterdon
County Tax Board, and deputy sher-
iff when George F. Green, of Elem
ington, filled the office. Mr.. Barley
was the first Republican deputy in
Hunterdon's history.
He also served for many years on
the Republican County Committee,
and was it's chairman for a long
time. In fact, during the long, lean
period when Republicans never saw
a local office, he was pretty near
the whole committee. He always
managed to hustle out corps of
candidates by election time, after
which they were forgotten until the
next year. Eventually, however, his
persistent efforts were crowned with
success, and he lived to see every
office in "rock-ribbed Democratic"
Hunterdon filled by Republican.
Mr.. Barley became postmaster of
Lambertville on March 81, 1923, sue
ceeding James A. Cleary, who held
the office nearly nine years. There
was a big fight. which covered the
county from which "B. Frank" as
he was known to his friends, emerg-
ed the victor. He faithfully endea-
vored to improve an already good
service, added valuable mail con-
nections, which had been sought in
vain for years. He had long work
ed for the improvement of the To-
cal service, prior to his appoint
ment as postmaster.
He is survived by his wife, who
was Miss Matilda Agnes Whyte. of
this city, and three sisters: Mrs.
William Green and Mrs. Helen
John, of Doylestown. Pa. and Mrs.
Jean VanAuken, Philadelphia. He
served as secretary in the Repub-
lican state headquarters in Tren-
ton for a number of years prior
to becoming postmaster, and was
known throughout the state.

Stoning of George
Street COMPLETED

Commissioner Hayhurst's force of
men have completed the stone dress
ing of George street, from Church
street northward to EN-, and it is
a great improvement. The results
will be watched carefully, and when
other streets are repaired. it is ex-
pected that this one will be thor
oughly oiled, the stone in the mean
time having compaeted by traffic.
Much interest is being manifested
in the proposed improvements to
the cross streets of the city, for
which bids will be received en-
April 81, and there seems to be
little or no dissension from the plans
as outlined If the work is success
fully prosecuted it will put all the
streets in the built up section of
the city in frst-class shape.
