THE NEW PSALTER.
Work OF Committee on Uniform Version OF
Psalms in Meter Completed.

About six years ago there was
movement started looking to-
wards a uniform version of the
Psalms, and there was an attempt
made TO secure representatives
from quite a number Of the relig-
ious denomination IN the United
States and Canada, and torn a
| iolnt committee 20 which was to
be committed the arduous and
difficult work of preparing q
smooth. faithful, metrical version
of the one hundred and fifty
psalms. Nine Christian denomi-
nations were so far influenced as
to appoint one or more members
of the proposed committee. The
following churches have repres-
entation in the work The Can
ada Presbyterian, the Presbyter-
ian North, United Presbyterian,
Reformed Dutch, Christian Re
formed Tor Holland), two branches
of the Reformed Presbyterian,
Associate Reformed Presbyter.
ian, and the Associate Presby-
terian. About twenty members
in all were appointed, but from
twelve to fifteen are as many as
have at any tune met in commit
tee. Semlannual meetings have
been held for the past five years
in such cities as New York, Phil
adelphia, Pittsburg, Montreal and
Toronto, and summer resorts, as
Asbury Park and Lake George.
Each meeting has lasted from
eight to ten days, holding from
two to three sessions a day of
three hours each.
Fhe committee has IN it five
professors in as many different
seminaries, six editors OF relg-
ious periodicals, and the rest are
pastors of congregations. Four
of the mem bers are specially gift
ed as poets, number possess
high lite ary attainments, good
ly number excel IN linguistic abil
ity, and all have some apprecia-
ton of good poetry.
ALI the versions accessible have
been made to yield whatever of
good they possess to the New
Twentieth Century Psalter. In
regard to the most of the psalms
1t would be very difficult to de-
termine the authorship of the
version, for almost every version
submitted to the com mlttee re-
ceived such a thorough overhaul
ing that the original versifier
would scarcely recognize it. While
the question OF translation has
been involved, the element of in
terpretation has also entered INTO
the work. The effort has been
made to enter into the spirit of
the psalm and express it's divine
ly inbreathed sentiments in good,
forceful English, and IN the meter
that seems best adapted to the
character of the song. The en-
tire book has been gone over and
has been carefully revised. The
New Psalte- is to be published
the early part of this summer and
copies put into the hands of com
mitt ees of the several churches
for examination and suggestions.
1t is hoped that the work is of
such a high character as to COM
mend itself to the hymn singing
world, as well as to Psalm sing
ers, and ere long be restored to a
place-if not to their divinely ap-
pointed place-in the social and
public worship of our King and
Lord. The variety of meters is
by some thought to be one of the
excellent features of the forth
coming book. Much more might
readily be added, but let this suf-
tice.

less than the total amounts appropriat-

mated al geo 600 reduction in that
duction of $362. $50 l3 from the amount
appropriated for these purposes in the
present fiscal year.
1t is much TO be doubted If a more
impressive paragraph than this, a
paragraph of more Importance to the

annual report for years. The docu-

ton. the taxpayer-to everybody
save the spokesman
The saving Of $40, 900 on printing,
new item, serves to illustrate these
three lessons admirably. The esti-
mate is based upon the actual ex-
perience of the year covered by the
report. II is not a theory. Further
more, II has not diminished the
value of the department by circum-
scribing the field Of its labors. AS
many copies OF its documents have
gone to the persons who cared to
read them as ever before. 1t is in
the elimination of copies not desired
and never read that the first saving
was made. Nor has the number of
pamphlets been cut down. Every
subject which the Secretary and his
advisers thought Of real interest has
been covered. The great cut was
made along another line
Heretofore, in the Department of
Commerce and Labor. and today in
every other department, a vast mass
of words has been printed which
good editing would blue-pencil on
the ground that 1t befogged thought,
not to say anything of increasing the
cost. With those words went a great
number of unnecessary and valueless
illustrations. Mr. Metcalf has elimi-
mated both the unnecessary words
and the useless illustrations.
To complete that reform he has
made a new rule-that the editing
must be finished when the manu-
script leaves the department. Any
printer can estimate, and every read
er can guess, how much that saves.
1t has been seriously stated that half
the cost of Government documents
is due to alterations in the text made
after the type has been set. This
may be an xaggeration-but be it
ever so exaggerated the saving In
the Department of Commerce and
Labor, due to the elimination of such
wrong-time corrections, has ex-
ceeded all calculations.
Not few officials have expressed
surprise at Mr.. Metcalfs reduc-
ton Of his estimates that was only
incredulity thinly disguised To all
suggestions that they might follow
suit, they have answered. Show us
how Well. here is one way open
TO them all. In the Department of
Commerce and Labor It has netted
the Government $4,000 Perhaps
it might yield $4,000, perhaps s1OO-
600, in each of the other depart
ments.
