Revised testament.


A DOUBTFUL IMPROVEMENT.
The Twentieth Century New Tesla
ment has recently been given to walt
ing world The version is the work of
modern theologians and scholars, and the
excuse for the work is that since the
King James version came forth so many
changes have taken place In the English
language that in many passages the
meaning is almost the reverse of what it
seems. 1t has been the aim of the re-
visionists to bring the Scripture down to
date in word and ideas, to make it con-
form to the English language not as
it was two centuries ago, but as it is to-
day
The learned men who have been max
ing this revision work of love and
scholarship no doubt are proud of their
work, but for some reason the effort does
not seem to meet with appreciation. In
fact there are those so heartless as to
laugh at it, so welded to ancient things
that they scorn the new. DR.. Samuel
Johnson. of Chicago, is one of the scott
ers. and comparing the old King James
version with the new. he Hkens 1t to "as
passing from the sublime thunder of
Niagara to the cheap clatter of the
street; from the glory of the STARTLED
armament to the glare of row of Chi
nese lanterns; from the e1oquence that
fires the soul to the twaddle that makes
the soul sick"

One wintry night as a slefghing party
was proceeding slowly over the bare
cobblestones down in the heart Of the
city newsboy, taking in the situation
at a glance, shouted:
Shoot the dry SWIM
1t was a very expressive remark and
one the point of which did not need to
be pointed out to the sleighriders as the
runners grated over the hard and wet
but snowless pavement.
This circumstance was suggested by a
recent utterance of Lord Rosebery in
regard to the pleasures of enjoying ones
garden in winter and making beautiful
trips abroad without leaving ones easy
chair
I'VE ignoramuses can derive pleasure
not merely from the contemplation OF
gardens but from the reading of books
about gardens. When people are much
worried with business I do not know a
better recipe to clear and soothe their
minds than taking up one of two books.
One Is book about gardens, which.
when you shut your eyes after running
over it, enables you to see the picture be-
fore you and to lull yorself with imagin-
airy sights and imaginary senses.

gardening be able to conjure Up some
thing Of our summer of delight.

Dr.. Johnson is certainly justified In
his work. The new revision is a parody
on the one book which the Christian
world holds sacred. The work put upon
it could have been better and more
profitably spent in saving cord wood
The language of the old King James
version may in some respects be OBJ
solete, but it has a solemnity and a
grandeur which no modern revisionist
can improve upon. Far better teach the
original meaning of the old-fashioned
phraseo1ogy than to convert sublime
words into uo-to-date dialects. The
revisionists, those who are ever striving
for new effects, even in things sacred,
will learn in the failure of this work
that the book cannot be tempered with
which the world has for centuries clasp
ed to its heart, alike in joy and in sor-
row, in youth and in old age. The world

A beautiful and long-uved tree is most
fitting memorial. 1t Is not only a living

trees might and should become com
mon practice throughout the country, not
only ais memorials OF dead friends. but
In honor of living persons. and to mark

planting should be promoted. It is

in the country do not more generally

REPuRLIcAN RESPONSIBILITY

Once again, east and west, does VIC
tory alight upon the republican standards.
On top of 60 'sS and 1900 is piled 1901.
No man can now dispute that the repub-
lican party is the party of the masses.
In presidential years and off-years, on
local, national and municipal affairs, the
people are turning more and more to the
republican party as the administrator OF
public affairs. Even democratic New
York has been lost to the bourbons be-
cause in municipal as in state and ma
tional affairs, there Is a widespread feel
ing that the democratic party of this day
is party of incompetents-tha it is not
equal to successful administration on any
scale. Parenthetically it should be said
here that we do not look upon the defeat
OF Tammany as a republican victory.
But it was a defeat for the democratic
organization which the people dared trust
no longer.
1t has been said that next to defeat
the worst thing that can happen to an
army is a victory, and, we may add, es-
pecially a sweeping victory. Pride goes
before a fall; and there is no pride so
binding as that of great achievements
untempered with modesty in the achiever.
In all departments of the national govern
ment, in a great majority of the states,
in most of the large cities of the country,
the reins of power are in republican
hands. The party has never, since the
civil war, had before it such a smooth
road for great legislative and adminis-
trative record as now. 1t can easily
overcome external resistance to all it may
decide upon.
The dangers are from within With
this unlimited power which the people
have given the party, there goes~a fearful
responsibility. If the party shall prove
recreant to the trust placed in it; shall
fail to enact needed legislation; shall
blunder in its foreign policy or be torn
with dispiriting internal dissensions, its
fall will be as rapid as its ascent, and its
shame will be profound as the brightness
of its glory is now untarnished.
