In the Latin Vulgate version, written tn a
fine unlial hand and ornamented ez
gulHitely In the Anglo-Celtic style. This
book, of great Interest to the Kngllah. was
written at the monastery of Undisfarne. or
Holy Island, off the Northumberland coast
circa 700. There It appears to have re
mained until the Danish Invasion of 875
took place, when Bishop Eardulf fled with
his treasure. On the way to Ireland, the
story goes, the ' book was lost overboard,
but was cast up by the tide. Kventually
It came Into the hands of Sir Robert Cotton
early In the seventeenth century.
A lilble near It which attracted almost
as much attention was one by a scribe
named William of Devon, either at Roches
ter or Canterbury, early In the thirteenth
century. This book Is remarkable for its
delicacy of ornamentation.

The relics of Tyndale's works, as a mat

There Is a copy in Knglish of the earlier

of the fourteenth century, which belontted

was put to death by order of Richard II In

written In the fifteenth century, was pre

"1 would throw up my orders and leave
the church tomorrow If I thought that God
cared for one se of the community and
not for the other." said the bishop of Lon
don recently. Why were there rich and
poor? his lordship went on to ask. The
answer of the theosophist was no good to
day. He had - more respect for the man
who aid our society was on a wrong basis.
On economic grounds he did not agree with
the socialists, who, however, were In many
cases full of burning love for the commun
ity. His lordship believed God had given
the minority their riches in trunt. In order
that they might pas them on to others.
Lively Ilebate Ahead.
There Is likely to be a lively time at the
lllotius of the Presbyterian general as
sembly at Atlantic Cl'y In May. There has
been an Increase in administrative ex-
penscs in recent years from 150.000 to $90,000
a ear, and there will be some lively de
bates on this subject. '
This sharp advance Is due to several
causes. One is the 4 formation of what
amounts to a permanent administrative
board, widely distributed In membership"
so as to be representative and making a
sort of continuous assembly. It has come
to be that the assembly moderator for the
year must provide a substitute for his reg
ular work and give all his time to general
work. Another cause Is the Cumberland
consolidation, Increasing the number of
members of the assembly and Increasing
distances that they travel. A third cause
la declared to be the heresy cases carried
to assembly by New York commissioners.
Expecting exciting times, commissioners
attended who would otherwise have re
mained at home.
Heresy t'ase lire wing.
New Vork Is exnected to kenn nn Ita rf.
ord this year alth a heresy case! Despite
the action or the last general assembly In
New York cases, wherein Presbyterians
were warned against the ordination of can
didates to the ministry whose views were
not sound on the fundamentals of the
Westminster confession, the New York
Presbytery has ordained a young man
whose views are nebulous on some of the
principal points In the confession and this
will, it Is expected, cause a lively debate,
tall to Catholic Woniea.
The Catholic Church Lxtenslon society
of the I'nltcd Stales, of which Archbishop
gulgley of Chicago Is chancellor, has
ihsued a call for a Catholic women's mis
sionary movement. The society, refers in
If call to the Protestant women's mis
sionary movement, which accomplishes
much, It says. The society proposes
branches and expresses the hope that at
the missionary congress, to be called next
year, enough will have been formed to put
the movement upon a national basis. Two
rules, prayer and sacrifice are outlined
for the movement, the prayer to be ope
which the Pope has authorized for the so
ciety, which Is "St. PMlip Nerl, pray for
us," and the sacrifice to be mado on one
day of each year, something gone without
to the value of M cents, and that amount
contributed to the movement.
Especially urgent does the society regard
its work lor Catholic children, and the call
for the movement s'ates that women en
tering It are to work particularly for chil
dren, those of American-born Catholics and

TO THE LAND OF F00LD0M
A Letter from Robert Lewis Steven
sou and an Invitation to a
Meed n a.
My dear Baxter, a word In your ear
"Don't you wish you were a fool?'' I low
easy the world would no on with you
literally on casters. The only reason a
wise man can assign for getting drunk is
that he wishes to enjoy for a while the
blessed Immunities und sunshiny weather
of the land of fooldoin. But a fool, who
dwells ever there, has no excuse at all.
That Is a happy land, if you like and not
so very far away, either. Take a fools
advi'-e and let us strive without ceasing to
get into it. Hark In your car again: "They
allow people to reason In that land." I
wish I could take you by the hand and
lead you away Into Its pleasant boundaries.
There is no custom house on the frontier,
and you may take in what hooka you will.
There are no manners und customs; hut
men and women grow yp, like trees In a
still, well-walled garden, "at their own
sweet will." There Is no prescribed or
customary folly no motley, cap or bauble;
out of the well of each one's own Innate
absurdity he Is allowed and encouraged
freely to draw and to communicate; and It
Is a strange thing how this natural fix, ling
comes so high to one's better thoughts of
wisdom; and stranger still, that all this
discord of people speaking in lliclr own
natural mowlj and keys, masses It iclf Into
a far more perfect harmony than all the
dismal official unison In which they sing
In other countries. Part-sliming seems best
all (he world over.
I who lived In England must wear the
hackneyed symbols nf the profession, to
show that I have (nt least) consular Im
munities, Loniing as I do out of another
land, where they are not so wise as they
arc here, lut fancy that God likes what He
