1Ne" hingham's Translation In the Tan,
Suase of the Gilbert Islanders.
Inc hrst Bible in the language OF
the Gilbert islanders was printed re-
Gently in the preSsrooms of the
american Bible society in the Bible
mouse In New York city. The publi.
cation marks the end of 81 Years ot
labor on the part of the Rev. Hiram
bingham, who has been a mission.
ary on the islands.
Several friends of the missionary,
gathered in the composing room and
listened to Mr.. Bingham as ne told
OF the work of his lifetime. His fa-
ther, Hiram Bingham, was a mis-.
sionary before him, Mr.. Bingham
himself having been born in Honolu.
u 62 years ago. He was graduated
trom Yale college in 1858. and In 1s58
began his labors on the Gilbert is.

dertook to reduce to writing tbe
hitherto unwritten language of the
natives and began the work of
ranslating the New Testament. III
health forced him to suspend his la
Dor, and it was not until April II
1873, that he finished the New Testa.
ment.
On April II, 1890, three years ago,
he found himself at the last verse of
the Old Testament. He then came
to America and on May 12, 1892, put
tne manuscript into the hands of DR..
Gilman, the secretary of the Bible
society, to be printed. On June II
he received the first proof, and in
IN this city, with his wife, he began
the proofreadlng 10 months ago. To
read the proof of the last verse of
the last chapter of Revelation and
thus to end his task was the purpose
of the ceremony.
MIR. Bingham stood in the center
OF his circle of friends among the
fonts of type in the most notable
composing room in the world, where
tne scriptures are set in 2I2 different
languages. Theconcluding verse was
put in type, proof was taken, q
Slight correction made, and Mr.. Bing.
ham read the verse aloud in the Gil
bert island tongue. Superintendent
Thompson then led the way to the
pressroom, and another foreign Bi-
BILE was added to the list printed by
the American Bible society. In the
afternoon several volumes were
bound and presented as souvenirs of
the occasion. The book contains 937
pages.

Good aud Rad Elements In Tea.

There are two elements in the

COMMONPLACE.

You say that my love is plain,
But that cannot allow
When look at the love for otherp
That's written on her brow.
She hasn't a flashing eye,
She hasn't a we'll cut nose,
But smile for others pleasures
And FEAR for others woes.
And yet viii own she's plain
Plain TO be understood,
For who can doubt that her nature
Is loving and fair and good?
You say that you think her slow;
Bat how can that be with one
Who's the first to do n kindness
Whenever il can Se done,
Quick TO perceive q want,
Quicker TO put IL right,
Quickest in overlooking
Injury, wrong and spitel
And yet she Is slow indeed,
Slow any praise TO claim,
Slow to see wrong in others,
Slow 10 give careless blame.
"Nothiug TO say for herself,-
That is the fault you find.
List to her words TO the children,
Gentle and bright and kind.
List to her words to the sick,
Look at her patient ways,
Every word she utters
Speaks in the speakers praise.
Nothing to say for herselfi"
Yet right, most right, you are,
But plenty to say for others,
And that is better by far.
You say she Is 'commonplace,"
But there YOU make n mistake,
lwould | could think she were 50,
For other maidens' sake.
Purity, love and faith,
Arc they such common thingsi
II hers were n common nature,
Women would all have wings.
Beauty she may not have,
Talent nor wit nor grace,
But until she's among the angels
She will not DO Commonplace"
