Bnt the lawyers proceed to argue. They
do precisely what the witnesses have done
identify themselves each with his own side.
The proof Of this is often had in the inter
views which the newspaper reporters have
with lawyers at the conclusion Of some case
in which there is popular interest One says
that he was strongly convinced of the justice
of his clients cause, and that his victory was
really the victory of truth, The other who
has been beaten, says he is strongly con.
WINGED of the justice of his clients cause,
and that if the court had permitted certain
testimony, or if the jury could have been
made to see what is as plain as the sun at
MONDAY, his client would have won; and
that there is nothing for him to do but de.
maud a new triad or carry the case to a
higher court, where there is more sense and
impartiality. But the lawyers begin to talk.
One steps before the jury and relates the
many virtues of his client, and speaks of
"our rights" or "our property or "our
privilege showing how he and his client are
in the same boat. And how he does talk
He talks and talks and talks; then catches
his breath and talks and talks and talks
some more, as if that which is only partly
true could be made absolutely true by mere
iteration.

It was said by one of the greatest of
seat in the bosom of God. He meant the
principle Of truth which underlies and gives
character to all varieties Of law. Interna-
tionaL National, State and all other laws are
supposed to be pervaded by this principle,
and hence a court house has the sacrednoss
of a church. 1t is entered with uncovered
head. In it one is filed with a sense of awe,
and pays the same reverent respect to its
forms and ceremonies that he would to those
of a church. He would no more think of
contradicting q Judge on the bench than a

This comes into ones head as he sits in a
court room under subpoena as witness, and
waits day after day to be called, not daring to
go out lest he be absent when needed Sitting
there in the holy place he watches the priests
of Justice ascertaining the truth about some
thing. When the case is presented this
waiting witness says to himself that it is as
plain as bump on log. Then the
testimony begins and the complications pile
up. In the testimony he can see on each side
preconceived opinion, personal friendship,
preudices awakened by the dispute and can
easily imagine personal interests involved,
even if it be only indirectly, 80 that,
primarily the opposing witnesses are them
selves plaintiffs and defendants. This waiting
witness who is in no way influenced, having
just heard the opposing statements and has
not had his feelings aroused by arguing the
matter previously, and is in no way d
champion of anything but the truth, wonder,
after all what real value there is in testi
mony.

Well, the jury departs to consult on a
verdict, which is reached after something like
a search for needle in a hay stack, The
truth has been piled thick with contradictory
assertions and arguments and the jury stay
out hour after hour hunting for a verdict in
this mass of assertion and argument with
which it went out loaded. But no matter
about the verdict Has it not been said that
the Lord only knows what a jury viii do,
and He won't tell.

CARING FOR THE GOOD BOOK,
How the Scriptures Were Preserved Pra-
viOus to Their Translation

HOW the Scriptures Were Preserved Pre-
vious to Their Translation.
The books of the law were the first
books of the Bible to be collected bv
| the priests and leaders of the Israelites:
| after the law came the written history
| of the people, in the fifth century b. c..
the collection of the prophets by Nehe-
| miah; and from his time onward the
collection of photographic, the Psalms,
Proverbs, Job, Canticles. All of these
had been preser we'd by the priests,
copied, and recopied as occasion re-
quired, and circulated in manuscrint
as of course all writings were circu-
lated in those days. The dispersion of
the Hebrews and their acquisition of
other languages and loss of the Hebrew
language, necessitated the translation
OF the scriptures into other than the He
brew, and previous to the second CEN
fury B. c. what we know as the Sen
tuagint translation, the Xxx was com
pleted in Greek, designed especially for
the Hebrews living in Alexandria and
other parts of Egypt The Septuacint
comes from a tradition that seventy
scholars-seventy-t acknowledgements
the translation. TRANSACTIONS and re-
tensions into the Aramaic were also
made, and these translations were
copied from time to time, so that the
oldest manuscript of the Old Testament
now in extent is only about fourteen
hundred years old.
The case is the same with the New
Testament It was written again and
again, until now there are upward of
thousand manuscripts for the Cos
pels and as many more for the rest of
the New Testament. The oldest
manuscripts are the Codex Sinaiticus
and the Codex Vaticanus, which date
from the fourth century A. D. So the
books of the Bible were handed down,

Latin. The latter, in the translation
adopted by the Roman church, and
known as the Vulgate, because COM
monty used in the Christian churches,
was the first book printed, in 145O-55.
AS far back as the seventh century por-
tions of the Vulgate were translated in
to English; and the early versions by
Wickliffe and his predecessors, by Pur-
vey and others, were translations from
the Vulgate. Tyndale used Luther's
German translation of the Greek BIZ
BILE. The authorized version of King
James was made by forty-seven schol-
ars and finished in 1911; the manu-
scripts, so far as accessible, were con-
suited, the translators not restricting
themselves to the Vulgate, but going
