Basil j.. Gildcrslcevc of Johns Hop.
kins university, the noted Greek scho-
lar, who has spent much time In Greece
learning the peculiar situation, said
that while n proposition To transl ate
the gospels into modern Greek might
seem to Americans To be Il small thing
to raise n fuss about, IL was u serious
matter for the Greeks. There have
been many translations of the scrip
lures into modern Greek, but none of
them have been sanctioned by tho
Greek church. They have been pub.
lished by professionals. aud though dis
tributed by the colporteurs and mis-.
sionaries. they are not in any sense
official" or approved of by the
churches Of the country, which is the
great conservator of pan-Hcllcnism.
Its answers uphold the glory Of an
cient Greece and reverence the Ian
guage with intensest devotion.
Abiding to the intense reverence for
the ancient Greek and the manner in
which the patriotism Of the people il
bound up with their church, Professor
Gilderslcevc remarked that the protes-
tant propaganda in Greece seemed to
him helpless. The people would listen
politely 20 what might he said. but it
make absolutely no impression on them
they would treat il with quiet con
tempt. T%ay argued themselves as
the heirs Of all the glory OF The Greece
Of old and consider that the wars with
h Turks are only n conception Of the
wars Of the ancients with Persia.
Their devotion to the ancient language
displays itself in many ways. The
store signs are either in ancient char
acters or in the French language. The
people from the highest To the lowest,
are possessed Of most intense thirst for
learning.
The professors in the universities
are also none u less devoted to the
byzantine Greek, but they are welded
20 IL not because Of their patriotic
feeling, but because they are depend
ent upon its study and preservation
for n livelihood. Another fact that
explains the intense feeling of the
Greeks upon this subject, said DIR. Gill
dcrsleevc. is their oriental blood.
Their politics is In "A tanglc and every
little while they have n change in the
premiership. II the mode rn Greek

language in the schools and in the

The common notion that Germans
are tho heaviest beer drinkers is refut-
ed by statistics published by the British
Board of Trade. Last year every Ger
man. on the average. drank twenty
seven gallons. while the average Eng
lishman drank thirty-two gallons. The
consumption In the United States was
less than hall as much, per capita, as
IN Germany. With the exceptions OF
the Belgians, the British are the larg-
est beer-drinkers in the world. and the
consumption has grown rapidly during
the last fifteen years. A sharp change
toward total abstinence would compel
a recasting of budgets, for last year
81 per cent of the net revenue of Great
Britain was derived from the taxation
Of beer, wine and spirits.
