|THE OLD TESTAMENT

SOME "UNSUITABLE PARTS"

London. The Rev. Geoffrey Allen's suggestion, at the confer ence of Modern Churchmen at Cam- | bridge, that large sections of the Old Testament should be rejected' as ill-adapted for the service of Christian piaty, has evoked partial agreement from Biblical author- itles.

Canon Scott Lidgett agrees that many parts, are not suited for pub- lic use but that they are too valuable from an historical and literary point of view to be gener- ally discarded.

Dr. Major, Principal of Ripon Hall, declares that scholars and students do not desire a reduction. The grotesque, hideous and im- moral passages are important ale- ments to them. A considerable re- duction is desirable for Church reading. He suggests an authoris- ed edition consisting of extracts in historical order with explanatory notes.

Dr. Raven, the King's Chaplain, urges certain omissions, drastic editing, and 'the reservation of cer- tain part for later education/He deplores the teaching of the Old Testament chlidren before they have a sense of historical deválóp- ment and says that the Church has
