CHICAGO, February 15.—American editorlal writers are forty years be- hind the times, so far as the New Testament is concerned, Dr. E. J. Gaodspeed, professor of biblical and patristic Greek at the University of Chicago, told students of the Medill School of Jaurnalism at Northwest- | ern University last night. { Commenting on ‘the criticism by | eattorial writers of the omussion of the story of the scarlet woman from his recent translation of the New Testament, Dr. Goodspeed said that the Apocrypha, which formed an in- tegral part of the Ming James ver- ston, had quictly disappeared from it in later vears, and “yet our editors offer no obpection to this high-hand- ed treatment of the very book they profess to venerate.” Dr. Goodspeed sald that the omis- slon of the Apocrypha from the Bible is “the most sweeping critical judg- ment ever rendered in its entire his- ory.” “I wonder it the advocates of the King James version know that it has happened?”"he said. “In comparison with it. the omission of John 7.53 to 8.11 is a mere trifie. They would strain out the gnat, though they have swallowed down the camel. | meiany, dournalists, cspectally ' on metropolitan papers, are unacquaint- ed with any form of the New Testa- ment but the King James versiom, and are unaware that it has been translated repeatedly before King James, and a hundred times since.” TALK LABOR PROBLEMS.
