THE CHURCH AND THE BIBLE.
Sir, —I should not have thought that the letter signed "Layman" (a. most courteous' reply to a letter of mine), which I came across a few days ago, was written by a mere layman had lie not. stated so. His argument that the boasted unity of the Catholic Church is blown to atoms by the undisputed fact that she possesses many religious orders is worthy of a learned theologian. Equally convincing is his proof that the Catholic Church is the enemy of the Bible because it ungratefully declined the kind offer of a Protestant Society to circulate the Douay version (revised according to Protestant ideas) among Catholics. It now only remains for him to toll us. how it came to pass that this enemy of the Bible was so silly as to make vernacular translations of the Bible at all. A. G. CLARKE. Ponsonbv, October 21, 1912.
