ONCE IN The BlBLE.
Careful Search Shows Dictionaries and
Concordances In Error.

A minister in North Carolina and
another, and also Bible teacher in
Kentucky, have been puzzled over
this query, The word its is found
only once in the Bible-where?" They
say: "Will you please tell US where2
We have failed to find it." 1t is not
remarkable that minister of expe-
rience should fail to find the answer
to this query.
The word Its" is not found in the
best concordances of the Bible, such
as Cruden's and Young's. Moreover,
Worcester's larger dictionary quotes
the statement of Trench, Through
the whole of our authorized version
of the Bible its does not once occur.
Although Worcester corrects an error
of Trench in respect to the use of the
word its by Shakespeare and Mil
ton, he does not correct the state
ment in respect to the use of the word
in the authorized version of the Bible.
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary
also says, THE possessive form, its,
is modern, being rarely found in
Shakespeare and Milton, and not at
all in King James version of the
Bible" The same statement is re-
peated in Webster's new Interna-
tional Dictionary, word for word.
Dr. Angus, in his Handbook of the
English Tongue" also says: It's is
a recent form in English. 1t is sell
dom found in Shakespeare and never
in sacred Scripture"
The statement of the revisers of
the English Bible in their preface is
more precise. They say: 1T is well
known that its does not occur in the
Bible of 1911, and it does not appear
to have been introduced into any edi-
ton before 1860 But it is found 10
times in Shakespeare, and there is
other evidence to show that at the
time of the authorized version it was
coming into use."
Now, if our North Carolina minis
ter and other readers OF the author
lied version of the Bible will turn to |
Leviticus XIV, 5, they will find the
following: "That which groweth of |
it's own accord of thy harvest thou
shalt not reap"
The word ''its" is therefore found
in the current version of our English
Bible, Notwithstanding the state
ment OF Worcester, Webster and
other authorities to the contrary.
the word appears in vari-
ous editions, as those of the Ameri-
can Bible society, the Oxford and

Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving day was observed yesser-
day as it should be. Union services were
held at the Congregational church. and Rev.
W. G. Curtis preached one of his able ser.
mons. He dwelt on the present distress
now prevailing, and the necessity of every
one fulfilling his obligations to his fellow
man. The discourse furnished food for re-
Election to all cogitatIve minds In regard to
the day, and the manner in which 1t should
be kept by all patriotic citrz ,ns.
During greater part OF the day the busi-
ness houses were closed, and general holi.
day was enjoyed In many families re-
union took place around the dinner table.
Fathers aad sons, mothers and childre1,
brothers and sisters met together on this oc
caslon who had been separated for years.
Old associations were revived, and many
lived their lives over again.
The day was not agreeable, there being
almost a continuous fall of rain, and the
gloomIness of the atmosphere appeared to
have its effect upon the people. There
was no Joyous expression on the face of the
citizens, and the business depression and
the destruction of wheat by reason of ex
cesslve moisture appeared to throw a pail
over the community. Generally considered
it was not such a Thanksgiving day as has
been experienced in this usually prosperous
country.
In the evening an entertainment W as
given at st. Mary's academy, which at
tracted quite large audience. The seats
were filled, and the aisles were occupied by
chairs. A splendid programme of literary
and musical exercises were rehearsed, and
the entertainment gave general satisfaction.
There were several numbers worthy OF es.
pecial mention, and among which were
medley sung by a class of boys. Instru-
mental duets by the pupils. the farce of ILL.,
ness without disease, The Dalles brass band,
the tableau OF Hope and Faith, and Grand
mas Dream, beautifully rendered by little
Miss Mary McInerny, who has sweet |
voice and who displays considerable mus cal |
for one so young. Several pieces
were loudly applauded, aud the performance
reflected great credit on the Sisters IN
charge of the academy who had trained the
performers.

There is an abiding faith among the bona

When the report reached here that the
Cherokee Council would meet in Tahlequah
