dubious. The indications now are that

Thus far the Carnegie Corporation

of the general scheme to beautify the

BALTIMORE, June 15.-"Political

II. Straughn of Washington In speech
before the opening session OF the Mary
land Annual Conference Of the Meth
odist Protestant Church here this week
More than 500 members of the clergy
and laity from many parts of Mary
land and the District of Columbia and
from several sections of Delaware. Vir-
einia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
were in attendance
'HThe church." Dr.. Straughn said
Frequently has been charged with the
responsibility of the legislation that
brought about the prohibition amend
rnent and ASsailed for participation In
matters that are said to be none Of Its
business. That it provided for many
wears the agitation, inspiration and a
large part of the personnel and leader
ship that finally eliminated in the de-
struction, legally, of the pernicious bust
ness known as the liquor traflc, is
correct statement. There are no apollo
giles for such participation.
I'm this country the separation OF
church and state is concluded matter
and never the twain shall meet. And
yet the only way of making great pub
lie questions finally effective is through
legislation. The church might preach
temperance until doom's day, but with
nut supporting legislation prohibition
could never become an established fact "
He declared that the church con-
ssdered it It's mission ito provide con-
science for the world"
1T must seek TO impose conscience
on society at large" he said, the same
sort of conscience IL is supposed TO urge
on its individual members"
DIR. Straughn attacked citizens who,
FOR the sake of personal indulgence,
violate the law Of the land" and yet
he continued, II minister lifts his
voice against 1t he becomes a political

Church of Santa Maria, YalLadoIid Spain

THE old Moorish city of Belad- Walled,
- or Valladolid, was for some time
the capital of CASTLE and afterward Of
united Spain. It fell into Christian
hands very early In its history and one
of the first buildings afterward erected
in 1t was q church. which Is now known
as Santa Maria lAntigua and is COM
monty spoken Of simply as the Old
Church.
1t was originally built at the close of
the twelfth century In the transitional
style, but was renovated In pure
Gothic spirit in the succeeding centu-
ries. One of the oldest portions Is the
fine, tall steeple. which Is covered with
many-colored tiles. On the north are
the old cloisters. and the whole exterior
is beautiful and majestic. The roof is
richly groined and the reliable of the
high altar is O vast and wonderfully
elaborate piece of sculpture made by
Juan de Juni In 1856.
There are many other important and
beautiful ecclesiastical ediaces in Valla-
dolid, though all of later date. The
cathedral was designed by Herrera, the
architect of the Escurtal. and has some
thing of the somher grandeur of that
prodigious pile.

universal religious conference to be
held in 1880. Where will it meet and
what are its objects? Take care that
1t does not wind up In theological
row. ask as lover Of religious peace

A. The gathering TO which you refer
to was determined upon at Geneva
during August. 1923. Dean Smaller
Matthews OF Chicago presided at this
preliminary assembly, and prominent
representatives of the various world re-
ligions participated IN Its proceedings.
DR.. Atkinson. secretary of the Peace
Union, and the officers of the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America united with the members Of
the continuation committee of the
Stockholm Conference and other dele
gates to arrange for the calling of .
universal conference In 1890 Of the IL
major religious groups Of the world.
Eighty representatives Of the worlds
religions present at the Genevan as
sembly gave character and catholicity
to the discussions. The opening address
of DR.. Hertz, chief rabbi of the British
Empire, was q model of its kind, and
Ii you had heard 1t I think your fears
about Donnybrook Fair OF disputing
doctors would have vanished.
The Universal Conference Of 1880 will
face the problem Of building up a civ
ilized public opinion on war and peace.
Its program. as Professionally outlined,
Is as follows: -.--.--.
/. To state the highest teachings of
each religion on peace and the causes
of war;
/. 2. To record the efforts Of religious
bodies in furtherance of peace, and
3. To devise means by which men OF
all religious faiths may work together
TO remove existing obstacles to peace
to stimulate international cooperation
for peace; to secure International JUS
tice and increase good will, and thus
bring about q fuller realization of the
brotherhood Of all men.
A committee of is was appointed to
select 10 members to act as the execu-
tive committee Of the Universal Confer
ence. This committee, in turn, will des-
ignate 1000 representatives Of the II
chief religions to attend the confer
ence, the selection of delegates to be
on the following basis: Christians, 2b0;
Protestants, 100; Roman Catholics
100; Eastern Church, SO; Buddhists

Religious Questions
DISCUSSED BY
DR.. S. Parkes Cadnan.

Germany the Scriptures were printed
In 1856 and II times reprinted before
Luther began his great work, yet no
English printer had attempted during
that period to put the familiar English
Bible into print.
The first Englishman to do this was
william Tyndale, to whom Is due more
than any other scholar the character
istic shape and quality Of the Bible In
our own tongue. Because there was no
safety for him in his native land, he
took refuge In Hamburg and probably
went from that free city to Wittenburg,
where he may have been encouraged In
his enterprise by Martin Luther. His
edition of the New Testament, pub
lished under great difficulties, was so
severely repreSSed that OF the quarto
size volumes only . single fragment re-
mains In the British Museum. OF the
octave edition only one perfect copy Is
extant, with the title page missing,
owned by the Baptist College at Bristol,
England, and one imperfect copy con-
tanned in the library at st. Pauls Ca
thedral, London. This translation, to-
gether with parts of the Old Tesla
ment, was made by Tyndale between
1926 and 1885. II is scholarly work,
couched in simple, moving and popular
language.
from 1881 to 1883 translated the Bible
bearing his name in 1888, a date con-
temporaneous with that OF Tyndale'S
| version and, like his, probably made
outside of England, where persecution
then reigned. Coverdale disavowed any
claim to independence and acknowl-
edged his Indebtedness to the German
scholars of the period. His version
