Number Of Bible Uranslations.

u
THE QUESTION: into how many languages have
the Scriptures been translated has been conslde-
rablv discussed recently in both European and
American church journals. The number has been
somewhat exaggerated, doubt, owing chiefly TO
the fact that partial transatons have been included
in the list 1t is accordingly, gratifying that SO hlgh
an official in authority Dr. ] 6. Watt secretary OF
the British and Foreign Bible Society, has compiled
an authentic list of complete versions OF the Scrip
lures This list has been prepared chiefly tor the pur
pose of settling the matter in dispute and its leading
data are the following:
Translations the entire Scriptures there exist at
present the number OF 1OS Of these ~ are IN tue
languages Of Europe; Al in the languages OF ASIA
IA in the languages of Africa 10 in the languages Oh
Australia and Oceanica and in the American IAN
guages Nearly all of the Asiat1c versions nave been
made during the of the present century ana
are chiefly the results of the scholarship and industry
Of Christian missionaries Several TRANSACTIONS INTO
Asiati tongues are in preparation, but 1T is not
TO be expected that further versions IN European IAN
ouapes will vet be added to the list OF tbs loS COM
plete versions mentioned in the following list Few
were prepared and published before the organization

A SACRED HOUR.

To every man of the higher type
There comes a solemn hour when his
heart. wrenched but a short while ago
by convulsive agony, turns in sudden
exultation of spirit to virtue. The
transition is as strange as that by
which man passes from one system
of belief to another, or from high
of all offenses. This solemn hour, in
which virtue is born into life, is the
sweetest ever known to man. He feels
as though the body, with all its weight
of ills, We're lifted away from him, and
enjoys the mysterious bliss of having
no contradictions within him. His
chains fan off from him. Nothing in
the wide world can alright him now,
though but short time since all
things filled him with a shivering awe.
That is a great night when the angel
is born in man, when new world
appears on his horizon, when all OBJ
structing clouds are swept away. and
virtue, like very sun, pours light and
warmth in upon his heart.-London
Echo.

HOW A DEFAULTER WAS CAUGHT

The facts in the somewhat
extraordinary case OF the default
Ing American banker Forster, who
was arrested recently, seem to be
these: He absconded from New
York in 1880, carrying with nim sum
/ OF 1913, 900. The company with whom
he was employed secured judgment
against him. and a surety company
paid the amount of the defalcation,
taking measures for the culprit's cap
ture. A detective followed the Napo-
leonic thief around the world, and ran
him to ground finally in London
music hall, where he was discovered
in company with young and pretty
woman. In order to make no mistake
the detective photographed the couple
by means of detective camera and
sent proofs of the photo to New York
with descriptions of the man, who was
now living under the name of Warder.
While this was going on the thief
slipped through the detectives fingers.
7 he New York police then sent photos
of the couple to all the principal de-
tective offices of the world, with a
promised reward of $4,000 in case of
arrest. A member of the Paris detec-
tive force was one day in a big finan-
cial establishment, and thought he
recognized Forster in an elegantly
dressed gentleman who happened TO be
there. The detective Swallowed his
find. Soon the man was leading about
a dog which the New York and London
police had mentioned as being the de-
faulter's constant companion. 1t was
at Neuilly that the man had taken up
his residence; his baggage was search
ed, with the result that letters bearing
the name of Forster were found. The
New York police were advised and
they sent detective to Paris, who
made the arrest. Forster is now at the
police station awaiting the completion
of the extradition formalities. AS to
the reward of $4,000 (25,000 francs) it
will be divided among AL the members
of the Paris detective force-364 per-
sons-say, about f3 per head 1t is a
tradition that the rewards should be
thus distributed. To the very natural
query as to why the reward had not
been given to the man who made the
capture, M. Cochefort, to press rep
resentative, replied that when a detec-
tive arrests a man he (the detective)
never acts on his own initiative; he is
detailed for the work by superior.
In order to be entitled to the whole of
! the reward he would have to depart
from his instructions, case which NJ.
Cochefert adds, never presents ITSELF"
