THE men TO whom we owe the authorized version
! though they had not all the advantages of modern
scholarship, were at least deeply imbued with the
spirit of the Bible with it's power and its poetry and
its spiritual force, and they made translation of
dignity and beauty supreme that the smart verbal
tinkering of modern critics and learned men, even
when indisputably correct. seems impertnent and
protless 1t true that the revsers have not found
much to change but they have done enough to make

WE should buy the iron cads and guns wherever we
can get them most quickly and cheaply. Where
would the naval powers of the world stand to-day,
had they depended their dockyards and foun-
dries for their ships and armament! IL is well enough
to maintain government dockyards, and it is advan-
tageous to be able to construct and equip
war at home. But it will take many years to bring
yards and ships into condition to turn rapidly the
armor and guns sorely required And in the mean
time the whole coasne of the United States is at the
mercy, not merely of England and the continental
powers Of Europe but of such small fry in eyes
as Chill and Japan.-Charleston News and Courier.
