ON THE BIBLE
Lecture By a Visiting
Clergyman.
Reverend W. R. Livingstone Talks
on Revised Version of the
Book of Books.

A lecture was given Thursday night in
THE Bible Documents and Revised Yer
sion." by the Rev. w. p Livingstone
NJ. A.. Oxford, and NJ A., Melbourne
who IL visiting here on his way to Eng
land from Australia. The lecturer be-
gan by saying that one of the most de-
sirable things is a rational presentment
OF the Christian faith. His lecture was
not intended for the shallow and un-
thinking whose minds were closed I'D
In their own conceits, to whom he might
reply In the fine sarcasm Of Job: Doubt
less ye are the people and wisdom shall
die with you;" but his lecture was in
tended for the teachable and the wise
he wanted to wake them up with regard
to the Revised Version. The Revised
version was marching ahead in Austria
Tia, England and America, and the cause
OF truth was bound to prevail. however
mucn man in his blindness and stupidity
might oppose II.
Many a Christian must be panied at
the statements attributed to his Master
oy the A. V.-statements which He new
er made. e. g.:
Take no thought for the morrow;
Lend hoping for nothing again:
lie strain at the gnat and swallow the
camel
These shall go away into everlasting
punishment.
THE ULTIMATE LAW.
The words of Christ form the ultimate
law or the white world. 1t Is therefore
a matter of supreme Importance that We
get the right translation of those words
and not the wrong. If we are not alive
TO this duty we shall fall short of the
glorious destiny which belongs to US as
true disciples.
Remember his solemn words, aye have
the commandment of God, and hold fast
the tradition of men. Full well do We
reJect the commandment of God that
"a s-s. may Keep your tradition; 3 Mark
In this town of Honolulu the lecturer
vas surprised and pleased to find the
streets lit up by electric light. 1t is
likewise assuredly the duty of Christians
to get the best light they can upon ques-
tons of theology, to walk in the light
SO let the Revised Version and no other
translation be employed in every church
In every Sunday school, in every house
hold. No sane person would nowadays
ride about on a bone-shaker: he would
use an up-to- date bicycle. Is Christian

less shrewd than a man of the world ?
When the Master mounted up on AS

leave? He left eleven ambassadors,

After many conferences it was decided
TO build extensive docks at Curtis Bay.
Construction of the docks has been under

nounced that they Will be completed within
three weeks. The docks and approaches
are about /, 200 feet long. and are the larg-

seems impossible to learn of what these
lump sums consist. All of the expenses
given are estimated except those of the
Peace Commission and the second Philip

mates of the other commissions, while

too low rather than too high.
