SOUTH LONDONDERRY
Golden Wedding.

The many friends of Dea and Mrs. 10
siah Pierce met at their home Wednesday
evening to celebrate their golden wedding.
Dea Pierce was the second son of Rev.
Sem Pierce, who was for many years wide
| ly known in this part of the state as a
minister of the gospel. He was born in
Windham, Feb 6. 1918, his parents NOV
ing to this town when he was a lad of six
years. In 1S43 he was united in marriage
to Miss Adeline Whitman, daughter of
Abial Whitman of this town, and who for
fifty years has shared alike his Joys and
sorrows in clear and stormy weather
They have had six children, five of whom
died in childhood. Hattie. the only child
left them, is the light of their home and
the JOY of their declining years. OF fif-
teen children Dea. Pierce and one brother,
who lives in town, and half-sister who
lives IN Merrimac, Mass, are the only sur
Ylvors. Among the guests was an uncle
OF Mrs Pierce, at whose home the mar
riage ceremony of fifty years ago was per-
formed: also one sister residing here, and
a brother from Wisconsin. Three genera
lions of the Pierce family were represent
ed. The oldest guest had reached the ad-
Vanced age of ninety, and the Youngest
was seven months old. The evening passed
all too quickly. Dea. S. 5. Lyon offeder
prayer in a feeling manner, followed by
appropriate remarks by Dea. L. f. Rugg.
Letters were read from William Pierce of
Chester and Mrs Charlotte Walker of Put
ney, both of whom were guests at the we'd
ding in 1913. Refreshments were served
during the evening and the company sepa-
rated for their homes, carving with them
naught but pleasant memories, and leav-
ing substantial proof of the high esteem
in which both Mr. and Mrs. Pierce are
held in the church and community.

How the Scriptures Were Preserved Pre-
Vious to Their Translation.

How the Scriptures We're Preserved IRE
vious to Their Translation.
The books of the law were the first
books of the Bible to be collected by the
priests and leaders of the Israelites; after
the law came the written history of the
people, in the Fifth century B. g., the
collection of the prophets by Nehemiah;
and from his time onward the collection
of Photographic, the Psalms, Proverbs,
Job, Canticles. All of these had been
preserved by the priests, copied and re-
copied as occasion required, and circu-
lated in manuscripts, as of course all
writings were circulated in those days.
The dispersion of the Hebrews and
their acquisition of other languages and
loss of the Hebrew language, necessltat-
ed the translation of the Scriptures into
other than the Hebrew, and previous TO
the Second century B. 9. what we know
as the Septuagint translation-the LAA
was completed in Greek, designed es-
pecially for the Hebrews living in Alex
andria and other parts of Egypt. The
Septuagint comes from tradition that
seventy scholars-seventy-tWo actually
made the translation. TRANSACTIONS and
recensions into the Aramaic were also
made, and these TRANSACTIONS were copied
from time to time, SO that the Oldest
manuscript of the Old Testament now
extant is only about ], 400 years old.
The case is the same with the New
Testament. It was written again and
again, until now there are upward OF
1000 manuscripts for the Gospels and as
many more for the rest of the New les
lament. The oldest manuscripts are the
Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Vatica-
nus, which date from the Fourth century
A. D. So the books of the Bible were
handed down, the old copies always be-
ing renewed before they wore out, the
language being Hebrew, Greek and after
A. D. 300, Latin. The latter, in the trans.
lation adopted by the Roman church, and
known as the Vulgate, because com
monty used in the Christian churches
was the first book printed, in 1865.
AS far back as the Seventh century
portions of the Vulgate were translated
into English, and the early versions by
Wyc1if and his predecessors, by Pur-
vey and others, were translations from
the Vulgate. Tyndale used tuther's
German translation of the Greek Bible.
The authorized version of King James
was made by forty-seven scholars and
finished in 1911; the manuscripts, so far
as accessible, were consulted, the trans
lators not restricting themselves to the
Vulgate, but going to the Hebrew and
Greek whenever they could.-Pittsburg
Dispatch.
