A NEW BIBLE.
The King James Version is Still the
One in Common Use.

A new bible is being published. 1t
is called the POlychrome, because it is
printed in many colors in order to show
Inc various manuscripts from which
the text was derived and indicate the
time when the book was written
Prof. Paul Haupt, who is one of the
scholars engaged in the work, informs
us that each part is in the hands of the
most distinguished authority in that
special work in the world. The effort
Is to concentrate the best scholarship
of both hemispheres uIon the produc-
ton OF tran station that snail be as
absolutely accurate as it is possible to
get. The sim is the correct transla-
ton OF the bib. e inao the best of modern
English. I'VE do not intend it TO
super sede the authorized version"
says Prof. Haupt, 'preferring that it
shall be in the La,ure of q commentary
upon that; but we do desire it to super
sede the revised version, for that SIM
ply destroys the beauty OF the au-
thor1zed version without making it
much clearer" IL will comfort the faith
full to know that none OF the great facts
or doctrines of the Bible is changed in
this nS'a.lon. The most exact
scholarship does not materially affect
the accuracy OF the greatest book the
world has ever known.
Aside from its spiritual significance,
the Bible seems to be d miracle in it,
self. 1t is now r. ad in over 300 lau-
guages and dialects, and through the
Bible societies alone during this Gen.
fury more than 300, 900, 600 copies have
been distributed. Toe history of the
Translation may be found in any CYCLIC
pedla, b 1t the main point OF Interest
Is that the King James version of 1911
has been the B ole of the pulpit and
home. When til, convocat on of Can
tsrbury in 1870 appoioted committee
to act the King James version
would be destroyed. Fifty-two of the
ablest vines and scoolars of G~eat
Britain and twenty-seven of the leading
cl, rgymen of this country work ed
diligently for years, with the result
that the revised New Testament was
published in 1881, aud the revised Old
Testament in 1885; but the sixteen
years for the one and the twelve years
for the other have simply demonstrate
ed the failure of both. The version OF
1eil is the RHe'the people read. The

NO SUPPORTERS FOR PROFANITY.
New York lergymen Uphold the Cru
SADIE of the Catholics

BY their crusade against profanity
and inquiry of speech the Holy Name
socie les OF the Roman Catholic dioce-
Sc Of Brooklyn have aroused widespread
interest among the clergy of all demo-
mins tions in this city. AL! clereymep,
of course, oppose impure or profane
language, but many of them have gone
further than this by indorsing 'the
efforts of the Brooklyn Roman Catho-
lies. Hebrews. aS.well as Protes tants,

of the TIE nple Enenuel, wi o is almost
as we'll known in other denominations
spoke with great interest on this ques-
ton to me yesterday.
''Profanity is not so prevalent among
the Jewish people that our clergy need
especially set their faces against it, ="
DR. Cottbeil said. II believe the
advancement of culture and refinement
will ,end to suppress profanity and
impurity of speech more than any-orga-
nized effort
Then Dr.. Gottheil discussed with a
little pleasant irony the opinion of
DR.. Minot j. Savage on the subject.
published in the Herald yesterday. In
this DR.. Savage, who is personal
friend of the noted rabbi, said he did
not advertise his prof. ssion by his
clothing, and therefore h I'D the advap-
tage over many other clergymen in
learning about the ways of the world.
He also said he did not consider swear
ing so terribly wicked as some of his
good brethren did, and did not think
th at oaths cause shaking in hesv-
en-.
II am p -obably in the same position
as my friend DR.. Savage, who thinks
profanity is not great SIM" DR.. GOtt-
he'll continued. ''but do not enjoy the
same happy privilege he does, as I do

safeward from hearing WI gar prOfa D.

denomination who deem it necessary
to inaugurate crusade against tbs

success they themselves desire. A

A Priest in Pc itics.

The Roman Catholics of Buffalo says
the Chicago Tribune are considerably
stirred up over the fact that Catholic
priest of that city Father Zucher, a
strong advocate of temperance, was a
candidate for alderman. Bishop
Quigley, however, says there is no
church law to prevent priest from
holding a political office: eat one
time there was a priest in congress.
He went from the state of Michigan,
aud | think his name was Richards.
That is the only case l ever heard of
where priest was a candidate for an
elective office. Right Rev. Bishop
McNerny of Albany The is now dead
served on the state board of regents,
but that was an appointive office. No,
there is no law of the church which
would prevent Father Zurcher from
accepting the nomination.

clean tongue is almost as necessary to
salvation IS are clean hands q. d q

The Rev. Anthony II. Evans, pastor
of the West Presby erian church, is as
strong in his denunciati, of profanity
as he is in praise of the movement Mt
among Brooklyn Catholics. In talk
Ing on the subject to me yesterday he
said:
"Profanity is upgentlemanly, un-
necessary, vulgar, irreverent and
against one of God 8 no sacred laws.
L Think the purpose of the Brooklyn
Catholics is good, and sincerely hope it
will succeed. Profanity seems now
adays to be almost universal, but 1 DO
thiuk that many persons use il care

This movement or crusade will serve to
call the atteu tion of men to their care

In the opinion of the Rev. DR.. Henry

The Surest Road To Rnin.

Mr.. Depew, president of the New
York Central Railroad company, in an
address to railroad men, said:
twenty-five years ago l knew every
man, woman and child in Peekskill
And it has been a study with me to
mark the course of the boys, in every
grade of life, who started with myself
to see what has become of them.
Last fall l was up there, and began to
count them over, and the lesson was
most instructive. Some of them be-
came clerks, some merchants, manu-
facturers, lawyers projectors And it is
remarkable that every one of them
that had drinking habits is now dead
not single one of my age now liv-
ing. Except few who were ken off
by Sickness, every one has proved a
wreck, aud has wrecked lis family,
and did it from rum and whiskey, and
no other cause. OF those who were
church going people, who were steady,
industrious. and Woodworking men,
and frugal and thrifty, every one with.
out exception owns the house in which
he lives, and bias something laid by,
the interest on which, with his house,
would carry him through many a
rainy day.
"When a man becomes debase1 with
gam bling, rum.Or drink, he seems to
care for nothing; all his finer feelings
are s'ifled, and ruin only is his end "
What a lesson 70 every young man.

PAUL. THE HERO.
His Second Imprisonment at Rome ard
His Trial.

1t was five years after ST. Paul S
release from his first imprisonment.
that is. in the year 6S, that he was i'm
prisoned for the second time at Rome
At this period he was spending the
winter in a town of Epirus cal ed
Nicopolis, after visiting Crete and
Ephesus. The rage of the monster
Nero had just begun to burst forth
against the Christians at r me. Nero
himself. it is said. had set fire to GER
tain buildings at Rome. in orde" tbs
he might see what Troy lookei like
when it was burned by the Greeks.
Dressed as charioteer, or jockey, be
walked about among the people who
hocked to see the great contls grafton
caused by the empe 'or's insane folly.
Almost half the great and beautiful
cap tai of Italy was laid in ruins by
this fire, and the blame was put on the
Christians. Nero, probably to shield
himself, treated the followers OF Christ
with the most atrOcious cruelty.
Many of them were cruc fed; others
were sewn up in the skins Of beasts,
smeared with pitch, and then hung up
and set on fire to light the gardens OF
Nero. A very great mul ltude OF
Christians thus suffered.
The persecution spre ad to the parts
of the empire far from Rome. AT
Nicopolis ST. Paul was arrested, and
sent in chains, although at midwinter,
to the capital. ST. Luke alone stood
faithful to him. Demas and Cresceps
fors ok him, loving this present world
and their own safety more than the
apostle and his master. Even Titus
was obliged to go to Dalmatia at this
time.
The apostle arrived at Rome, with
Luke, the beloved physic an, to find
tt at bis imprisonment was to be much
severer than it had been at first. He

was TIRE ated as convict aud malefac-
tor. Ii is not difficult to understap d
how atteniiOn had been called to the
apostle, even in his obscure home at
Nicopolis. He was well known ss the
greatest and most energetic as well as
fearless leader of the Christians.
There lived at this time at Rome a
number of low spies who made bust
ness of setting up charges against
those who exposed themselves in any
way by word or deed to the anger of
Nero. They doubtless, had hunted
down St. Paul, and probably accus ed
him of having share in the burning
Of Rome. This, OF course, was nou-
sens, but as it was against the law of
Rome for man to introduc, new
and illicit religion into the empire,
this would afford a juster pre'exs for
ST Paul's appre hensicn. He was &C.
cordineIy cast into pri on; cut off from
his friends, his books being hurried
away without time even TO gather to-
gette err his clothes. He was soon

as we have seen, to the effect that s..
Paul lad melted the Christians to fire
Rome. On his acquittal from this &C

await trial on the more serious charge.

tramps swarucd over the cars. menacing the
crew ana daring any one TO prevent their captur-
