Her improved rendition of verse 53 went into the convention's report and appeared in a New York paper the next day.

The (at that time) Scientist whom I mentioned a minute ago, and who had not been present at the convention, saw it and marvelled; marvelled and was indignant--indignant with the printer or the telegrapher, for making so careless and so dreadful an error.

And greatly distressed, too; for, of course, the newspaper people would fall foul of it, and be sarcastic, and make fun of it, and have a blithe time over it, and be properly thankful for the chance.

It shows how innocent he was; it shows that he did not know the limitations of newspaper men in the matter of Biblical knowledge.

The new verse 53 raised no insurrection in the press; in fact, it was not even remarked upon; I could have told him the boys would not know there was anything the matter with it.
