come to a close today.
A warm debate was had this
morning over the question of
whether or not the conference
schools should be correlated and the
the matter was discussed by many
<>f the South Georgia ministers pro
and con. The resolution to so ar
range the schools and colleges as to
make Emory college and Wesleyean
Female College the only colleges
granting degrees was defeated by
a vote of 96 to 90.
The plan recommended Ifry the
hoard of education is in line with
the work of the general board. It
was rejected in this conference be
cause it was thought to handicap
schools like Andrew and Lagrange
and Youug Harris. It was probab
ly the most interesting discussion
of the session.

assessment for education. Emory
college gets $2,000; Wesleyan gets

NO ADAM AND EVE
IN THE NEW BIBLE
New York, Nov. 26.—First copies
of the revised edition of the Bible
published by the American Baptist
Publication society have reached the
society’s headquarters at No. 23 East
Twenty-sixth street. The new edition
is a radical department in its cons
truction from the language used in
the King James version.
In the new Bible the names" A
dam and Eve” do not appear. Their
place arc taken by the words “man
and woman” which is a direct trans
lation of the old Hebrew names. The
word "hell” is eliminated, "under
world” being inserted in its places.
Other great changes were made.
The story of Jonah and the whale is
changed so that the words ‘ ‘great
fish” as being a nearer interpretat
ion of the acient Hebrew take place
of the "whale” "Jehovah thy God”
takes the place of "Lord thy God”.
Carved replaces "graven” and the
word "immersed” in parentheses
follows the word baptize in every in
stance. In the new edition the Lord’s
prayer becomes:
Our father who are in heaven,
hallowed be thy name. Thy king
dom come. Thy will be done, as in
heaven, so on earth. Give us this
day our daily bread. And forgive us
our debts, as we also have forgiven
our debtors. And bring us not into
temptation, but deliver us from the
evil one. Amen.”
Owing to the recent arrival none
of the Baptist ministers seen would
commit themselves to an expression
of opinion concerning the new edi
tion, saying that they had not yet
had an oportunity to study it. One
of them when asked whether he
thought the charm of the old Eng
lish phraseology would not be spoil
ed by the alternations, replied that
the aim of the Society had been to
produce an absolutely correct Bible,
irrespective of any charm of lang
uage.

sause of the trouble, and forthwith

o’possum for Thanksgiving dinner.
