The real purpose of the pas- sage was to stop the practice of Jewish Christian men veiling or wearing the "tallith" im worship, which was a sign of condemnation of | sin. Paul replies: "Every man pray- | Ing or prophesying having his head | covered dishonoreth his head,"---i.e. | Ohrist, who had atoned for his sins { "But every 'woman praying or | | prophesying with her head unveiled | dishonereth her (matrimonial) | head," inasmuch as the Jewish Oral Law decreed that # a woman did not cover her head she should be | "shorn." A Jew favorably disposed {| towards h™ wife's profession of Christianity and unveiling in wor- ship might be compelled to divorce his wife if she unveiled. Therefore says Paul, in effect, if unveiling her head in the church might involve such consequences she is mot com- manded to unvell Mke her husband.

Apart from the hist Hght up- {on the circumstances calling forth | these words it is difficult to under- | stand what the apostle means.

All | Ohristians were in the greatest | peril, especially the women. This | was due to two causes referred to by | Lecky in his History of European | Morals as "the very conspicuous posi- tion of female influence assumed in the great work of the conversion of the Roman Empire" and "another cause of the peculiar animosity felt against Christians was the constant OF MEN'S AND WOMEN'S SHOES ALL THIS WEEK SEE THESE SPECIALS: $5.95 and $6.95 SALE OF MEN'S FINE SHOES $3.95-- $4.85--$5.95-- SPECIAL SALES OF WOMEN'S FINE SHOES | subject.

By minute examination of the ori- ginal Greek text and reference to au- Kinnear & {Esterre thoritative scholars and the histori- cal setting Dr. Bushnell shows clear- ly that Paul never wrote these words as "a commandment of the Lord", but was quoting what the Judalzers in the Corinthian church were saying LAND FOR SALE, a min en Township, acres, - ar nine reserved.

Ramsay, the most widely accepted authority on St Paul, says--"We should be ready to suspect St. Paul is making a quota- tion from the letter addressed to him when any statement stands in marked contrast with Paul's known views." The "marked contrast" is obvious when the prohibitory law of chap. 14: is placed alongside chap. 11:5 of the Same epistle In which Paul refers to the fact, without a condemnatory word, that women were accustomed to both pray and preach in public. The quotation theory {a confirmed when considered in detail. "It is --d .+..88 also saith As there is mot one trace from Genesis to Malachi of &ny such law 'the law" referred to must have been the Jewish Oral Law, which in the Talmud is given as follows : "It is a shame for a woman to let her voice be heard among men." This in itself should be sufficient to show that the apostle who labored 80 earnestly to free the Christian church from the shadow of Judaism Was not expressing his own convie- tion in the language attributed . to im. Paul never appealed to "the law" for the guidance of the church, but declared that , believers were "dead to the law." : As to women "asking questions of their husbands at home" it is un- thinkable that the apostle would have sent anxious souls back to heathenism, or to Judaism for spir- itual help, for the husbands of some were not yet converted. | aL MORE MILAGE .
