The Interest in the New Bible.

1t is now pretty definitely understood
that, while it will take about three years
more to complete the revision of the
present accepted version of the Old
Testament Scriptures, the New Testa-
ment is practically finished, and will
make its appearance some time during
the present year. Notwithstanding the
fact that the Bible was never criticised
or questioned so closely as it is in this
day, there is a profound and wide
spread interest in the work undertaken
by the revisers; and the appearance of
no book during this century has been
anticipated with so keen a concern as
the Bible we are 20 receive at their
hands. The Christian religion is tre-
mendous factor in human life and
human history. The immortal hope of
millions is bound up with ii, and grows
out of it. Christian morals leaven all
the best civilizations of the race. Chris
tian worship is the only pure and ra-
tional worship 1t is spiritual. and is
lifted toward a spiritual being. The
Bible is the record and the revelation of
this religion, and will remain the most
interesting and important book in all
literature,
For a good many years that portion
of the Christian public that speaks and
reads the English language has been
aware that its own version of the Script
ures is full of imperfections. Many
passages offend the simplest principles
Of grammar, and many passages, be-
cause of the changes in the language,
have lost their true meaning. Words
that meant one thing in King James
time mean now quite another, and 1t has
even come to be quite well understood
that portions of the accepted text are
of doubtful authenticity, in the lights
that have been thrown upon them by
modern scholarship. Men have been
startled by strange translations and
CLOSES In the marginal readings of their
Bibles. The explanations Of the text

The FamIne in PersIa.

The recent accounts of the famine
and diphtheria in Russia are supple
mented, il not paralleled, by reports of
starvation in Persia obtained from trust
worthy sources. 1t appears that Il
large part of last years crop was de-
stroyed by an unusual and heavy rain
fall, which lasted nearly a month, at
the time of the thrashing, The rainfall
was succeeded by an uneXampled
drought, and the grain-felds, vine
yards, cotton-plantations, melon-felds
and gardens failed to produce their GUS
tomary crops. The droughtwas rendered
the more destructive from the fact that
great part of the grain of Persia is grown
upon mountain slopes, where no fa-
cilities for irrigation exist. The aver
age crop at the last harvest didnot exceed
the quantity of seed sown. Even the
irrigated fields of the plains and valleys
yielded only a quarter or fifth crop,
and this is in the hands of landowners
who are either holding it for seed or
storing it in the hope of realizing fabu-
lOus prices when the pressure becomes
u little sharper. Probably half of the
usual grain supply of Oroomiah usually
comes from the neighboring districts.
This supply is entirely stopped, and
more than half the population are utter
ly destitute. There is little work to be
had since the cotton-spinning industry
has failed, and the result is that a man
working steadily for sixteen hours
day at the wages paid could scarcely
provide food for more than one person.
The mOuntaineers of Koordistan have
been oppressed and impoverished by
the plundering of the Koords ever
since the war between Turkey
and Russia; their crops have failed, and
they flock into Oroomiah by hundreds
of families, hungry and naked, and
hundreds have perished The crops
have also failed largely in the Caucasian
fields, and famine and pestilenee are
already raging there. There are not
less than $4,000 starving families In the
vicinity Of Oroomiah. In view Of these
facts an appeal has been issued and
an effort will be made to collect
fund for the starving. This appeal
comes through the President Of the
Ladies' Board OF Missions in this city.
Mrs. James Lorimer Graham, and con-
tributiOns may be sent TO their Treas
urer, Mrs. G. D. HaItt, No. 80 West
Tenth street, who will forward them 10
the Moderator Of the Evangelical Synod
at Oroomiah, who will take charge OF
their distribution.--M Y. Times.

He STONED the Car.


William Beury and Captain H. w.
Morgan had occasion to go down to
Schuykill County on business-last week,
and got off the Lehigh Valley passenger
train at Myersville. AS they were
climbing the mountain at that point,
they noticed a freight-car coming down
the railroad, without any brakeman on
the car. Captain Morgan took in the
danger of the situation at once, and
knew if the car was not captured it
would collide with a train that was on
the track below. He therefore started
down the mountain on run and inter-
cepted the car; he caught hold of the
side bars and attempted to mount one
of the platforms so as to get at the
brake, but the car was going down
grade and had gotten under such head
way, that it was with difficulty that the
Captain was able to get on, and he had
to run some distance and then bruised
his knees badly before he was able to
swing himself around to Jump on the
bumper. As soon as he reached the
platform he applied the brake and
stopped the runaway car, which was
left standing until taken in charge by
the railroad employees. Where the car
came from, or how it happened to be-
come detached from the train, our in
formant could not ascertain, but Cap
tain Morgan certainly deserves the rail-
road company's thanks for risking his
life in the effort to capture the car. Had
the car not been stopped, serious col
lision would undoubtedly have occurred
when it met the train on the railroad
track at a point down the line.-Shdmo-
kin (Pa) Times.
