The Douay version-the one sane
toned by the Roman Catholic church,
and still their authorized version.
WINS prepared at Douay, France, in
1909 1910.
To the history Of the authorized
version of the Bible We have now
come, and when we think OF the in
f1uence IL exerted and is still eXeI ting,
1t seems the more remarkable that
its origin should have been so nearly
an accident. One of the first acts OF
King James on ascending the throne
OF England in 1903 was to call n con
ference at Hampton Court Palace In
January 1904 to hear and determine
"things pretended to be amiss in the
Church, and in the course OF the
second days proceedings, DR.. Rey-
nolds, the Puritan leader, made the
suggestion that there might be n
new translation of the Bible. because
those which were allowed in the reign
of King Henry VIII, and Edward vi,
We're corrupt and not answerable to
the truth Of the original" This sug-
gestion commended itself to the King,
who had at one time begun n trans
lation of the Psalms himself, and he
at once proposed that the new trans
1ation be by "the best learned in both
universities, after them to be reviewed
by the bishops and the chief learned
of the Church; from them to be pre-
sented to the Privy Council; and last
ly to be ratified by his royal author
ity; and so this whole church to be
bound unto 1t and none other"
notwithstanding the royal favor
bestowed upon it. the actual work Oh
revision was not commenced until
1907, when the forty seven revisers Ut
had been originally intended that
there should be fifty-four) were d.
vided into six companies OF which two
sat at Westminster, two at Oxford
and two at Cambridge. Each com
pany was, first OF all, to busy Itself
with the separate portion assigned
to IT for translation, but 1t was also
provided that the work OF each COM
pany should be revised by the other
five. The whole version, when thus
amended was then to besubmitted to
n select committee, representing all
the companies, for the harmonizinS
OF details, and for It's final prepara-
ton for the press. How closely these
arrangements were followed, we do
not know, for never, says DR.. Scri-
vener, who is our principal authority
on all that concerns this version,

was great enterprise Ike the pro-
duction of our Authorized Version
carried out with less knowledge hand
ed down to posterity, OF the laborers,
their met hods and order of working.
We know. however that In two
years and nine months, the whole
work Of frevision was carried through,
and in 1911 the new version was pub
lished. Its full title ran as follows;-
1.-The Holy Bible, containing the Old
Testament and the New; Newly trans
lated out of the original tongues;
with the former trunslations diligent-
ly compared and revised by his Ma
jestie's Special Commandment APP

ker, Printer to the Kings Most Ex-
cellent Majesty Ammo Domini, 1911"
After the title page came the ful.
some dedication to King James, and
u very interesting preface, generally
understood to he the work of DR.
Miles Smith, afterwards Bishop of
Gloucester, in " hich the main princi-
pies that had guided the translators
were set forth.
The immediate reception ofthe new
version can scarcely be said to have
been encouraging to its promoters,
for though there was very little active
opposition to It, IL did not take the
place OF the Geneva Bible In popular
favor, until the middle OF the century.
That 1t deserved the place 1t then at
tained. does not admit OF n moment II
dispute; and none have shown them
selves more ready to admit It's merits
than those who in 1870 were ap-
pointed to revise 1t. ''We," 80 they
tell us, "have had to study this great
version carefully and minutely, line
by line; and the longer we have been
engaged upon 1t, the more we have
dignity, its power, It's happy turns
of expression, it's general accuracy,
and we must not fail to add, the
music OF its cadences, and the felicities
of its rythm."
GAS to the contents OF the Bible, It's
one grand object, under whatever
form 1t may appear in the various
books IL to give an account Of the
world both in It's origin and govern
ment, as the work Of an Almighty
Creator always and everywhere
present, and especially toexhibit the
relation OF man to this Creator, and,
in consequence OF that relation, in
what manner and with what hopes
he ought to live and to die-subjects
undeniably the IN ost momentous that
can occupy human thoughts.

1926, no complete Bible before 1875,
and none in England before 1888.
France, Spain, Italy and Germany
possessed Bibles in the language OF
the people, before any English version
was printed.
William Tyndale, whose transla-
ton OF the New Testament was the
first which was printed, did his work
chiefly, abroad, having gone from
England to Germany in 1924. and
"got him straight to Luther" at
Wittenberg. Tyndale's translation
shows the influence of Luther's YER
sion. He was assisted in his work by
n Franciscan friar and another com
paniOn. The work was begun at
Cologne, but was stopped by the au-
thorities. Tyndaleescape to Worms,
where Luther's influence was strong
er, and there 5000 copies OF the New
Testament We're printed, copies ar
irving in England in 1926. In 1884 he
brought out revised version. In
1886 he suffered martyrdom.
Miles Coverdale, who is said to
have helped Tyndale in some OF his
translations, was an Augustinef friar,
who became bishop OF Exeter. He
prepared a complete English Bible,
which was the first printed.
What is known as Matthew's Bible
was prepared for the press at Ant
werp In 1884, by John Rogers, who
for several years was Chaplain OF an
English Congregation at Antwerp,
and suffered death at Smithfield in
the reign OF fQueen Mary. This edition
had wide circulation. In 1880,
Henry VIII appointed n commission
consisting OF Sir Thomas More, the
two archbishops and other learned
scholars to consider the matter of an
English version, which should be is
sued by authority. Cranmer took n
leading part in the translation, which
was finally prepared, after many OBJ.
jections and delays; and 1t was COM
pleted and printed in London in 1889.
1t was a folio and was distinguished
by the name OF "The Great Bible"
1t IL often called Cranmer's Bible; and
the Psalms still have place In the book
OF ofCommon Prayer. 1.-THE Great b.

costly that 1t did not become popular
and its place was taken by the Gen.

English refugees during Queen Mary's
reign. This Bible was the first in
which the chapters were divided into
verses.

History of the Authorized Version of
the Bible.
BY MRS. JULIA FRANCES DIXON.


The history OF the English Bible is
a chapter OF the highest Importance
in the history of English religion and
liberty, especially important in con-
nection with the particular period
of English life and thought in which
the forces were shaped which led to
the planting OF New England and
the establishment of the English
commonwealth. The first popular
and famous English version was
that of Wiclif; but for the beginning
OF the history OF the English Bible
we have to go back to the very be-
ginning OF the English language.
Saint Aidan, bishop OF Lindisfarne,
is said to have stimulated the peo
pie to read the scriptures, especially
the Psalms, translated into the ma
tive tongue. A lay monk of Whitby,
in the same century composed
metrical versions of several parts of
the Bible, from English translations
made from the Latin Vulgate. The
bishop of Lindisfarne early in the
next century, is said to have trans
lated almost the entire Bible. and
the names of the venerable Beede,
King Alfred and others were asso-
ciated with similar works OF trans
lation. The earliest fragment now
extant is Psalter, partly in prose
and partly in verse, translated by
Saint Aldhelm, who died in 709.
Wiclif made his English version OF
the Gospels in 1860, and he may have
translated the Epistles, Acts, and the
Apocalypse. Nicholas de Hereford,
vice Chancellor at one time, OF the
University of Oxford, translated the
greater part OF the Old Testament,
his translation OF the Psalms being
evidently based on an earlier version,
known as the Hampole Psalter. The
remaining books were translated by
some unknown hand; and the COM
bination made what is known as the
Wiclif Bible OF 1884. The greater
number OF the copies of the Wiclii
Bible now extant, however, are I'm
the version revised by Purvey few
years later. All the translations up
to this time, were from the Latin Vul-
gate and were circulated in the form
OF manuscript, this being before the
invention OF printing. No part OF the
Bible was printed in English before

What Becomes OF Lost Vessels 2

An interesting question as to what
be comes of ships that for one reason
or another disappear from view and

amounted to S07 vessels OF 73S.l45
tons. excluding all under 100 tons.
which Il Is interesting TO note. is
about the yearly average though a
