Is Writing a Woman's Bible

Chicago Times Herald

Abraham G. Dixon , an old bookworm of this city, is writing a revised version of the Bible. With his great volumes of history and ancient manuscript he is now at work writing what he terms a woman's Bible. In this work, which he has almost completed, the author places woman on an equal footing with man. In speaking of his new Bible Mr. Dixon said,—

"What the so-called civilized nations need is a woman's Bible, one that represents her as she is in the eyes of God, and not as the insignificant serf, not as the secondary element of humanity she is pictured to be by the orthodox creed."

Mr. Dixon's forefathers came to this country in 1681 and settled in Pennsylvania under William Penn. The manuscript of which Mr. Dixon is the possessor, he asserts, was handed down from generation to generation, and it has been carefully guarded for centuries. In his possession is a very old character manuscript which is said to be the original of the sixth and seventh books of Moses.
