THE BIBLE AS LITERATURE,
BY p. A. siMPkIN.

Where in all the range of literature
will you find that TO be compared with
its majesty and simplicity of form and
beauty.
CHere Mr.. Simpkin read Gen. 1. 1-19;
Luke II, $50, and Ecclesiastes, 12.)
Deuteronomy with the stately ora
lions and prayers of Moses before his
ascent of Pisgah has an immense vein
of value for one who would be famil-
iarized with eloquent and stately forms
of expression for pen or speech.
And the only embarrassment there is
for one who would point out the liter
airy beauty of the book, is one of
riches.
Prose and Poetry.
| Its prose and poetry alike are of
highest value. How the worlds heart
stirs TO the lit of the Shepherd Psalm.
the twenty-third in the collection of
the songs of the second temple.
One may not wonder long at the lit
erary taste of the Scotch. whose sons
are driving the pens and VOicing the
messages that present the highest lit
erary values we know today, when one
considers how the people of a dozen
generations past have lived in this
book and been shaped by its lofty lit
erature in thought and expression. The
| shepherd leading his flock to the
heathery slopes sings, l will lift up
mine eyes unto the hills from whence
cometh my help-my help cometh from
the Lord.
(Mr. Simpkin read Psalm 46 and 100
as examples of inspiring poetry)
| The speaker then made a compari-
son of LOngfellOW's Psalm of Life and
| SolOmOn's. wonderfully beautiful poem
of it's fading in the last chapter of Ec-
clesiastes.
/ The marvel is, that the splendid
graphic outpour of the Hebrew soul in
the far ages, and the stirring events
| and messages that have come from the
| Jewish-Roman atmosphere at the be
/ ginning of the age, have found such a
| body as we find in the literature of the
authorized version.
Owes Much to TindaIe.
| It may be well to note that we owe
very large debt to Tindale for the
phrasing and the vigorous form OF
much of this version. Tindale, as Gar
diner has said, fixed the style for the
narrative books of the Old Testament
and for the New Testament" 1t is
made clear if one takes bit from his
| New Testament of 1884 a quotation
| from Luke once read fol you today.
]
and there were in the same region
shepherds abiding in the field and
watching over their fiocks by night
And 10, the angel of the Lord shone
round about them and they were sore
afraid. And the angel said unto them
BE not afraid; behold, 1 bring you
! tidings of great joy which shall come
/ to all the people, for unto you is from
/ this day a Savior which is Christ the
| Lord"
| But we owe most to the men who
gave us the translation of 1911. The
richest scholarship and the greatest
| erudition of the time were gathered
| for the task, and in the vigOr of a Ian
guage unmarried as yet by technical
terms. cold and dead, they transferred
to the crispest, clearest, most living
AngIo-Saxon the body of the scrip
! lures.
! Because of the native strength of the
sixteenth century English, it was most
/ fitted to be the vehicle of the strong
Virile Hebrew.

game compares with it for muscle
building and health development.
And now the season of the big
leagues is about to open. Weeks ago
the teams went to their training sta
lions. One of the Chicago teams jour
neyed clear out to California, and in
cidentally was defeated several times
by teams that belong TO the Pacific
coast league. The New York National
leaguers trained in Texas. Other mines
Travelled thousands of miles in order
to find sunny weather and the oppor-
tunity to take the winter kinks out of
their muscles. A good deal of inter-
est attached to the spring training, but
after all. it afforded only foretaste
of the joys to come. A sort of cock
tail before the banquet.
After next Tuesday the baseball fan
attic will once more know what real
joy is. The hundreds of thousands who
live close to or in the large cities will
forget all about business several af-
ternoons a week while they sit in
=
for the home team. We rather envy
them the thrills that are to be their
portion. for there never was a real
baseball game that didn't contain its
proportion of thrills for those who are
in the least interested.
Even a score that is lopsided doesn't
necessarily mean an uninteresting
game. Always there is something
worth while in fielding. in batting. in
pitching or base-running or coaching
or some other department of the game
This is as it should be. because base
ball is the great American game. No
other outdoor athletic diversion can
possibly hope to compete with it. Golf
and tennis and football, yes, and
cricket, have thousands of devotees
scattered throughout the land, but
none of them. nor all of them together,
attract anything like as many people
or arouse as much enthusiasm as base
ball.
It is too bad that Salt Lake is to
have no league baseball this season.
The best we will have will be amateur
ball, but that is very often worth while
And in any event we can get lot of
pleasure out of the accounts of the big
league games; we can pick a favorite
team and root for it, though at dis
lance, just about as hard as those that
are on the ground.

He goes on further to say: And,

ments of "a little further knowledge

Influence or Language.
And so this supreme piece Of Eng
lish literature. found in the verbiage
and style of the Bible. has had an en-
ormeus influence on all our language
and literature.
1t has set a standard for all writing
and a style for all who would create
If. says Moulton. ali English litera-
ture were formed into an arch. the
Bible would be the keystone. and the
heart of its power as an example Of
style is in its simplicity and earnest
ness.
And all English literature has been
largely shaped by the note of earnest
ness. Dryden, Swift. Burke, Thack-
cray, Ruskin. Lincoln. Emerson were
moved by life's deep earnestness- With
simplicity of language and earnestness
of spirit, there is fine dignity in all
the record that fills the book.
For the ordinary mortal 1t can he
only, but ought to be always, the
standard. the one unique. incompara-
bic example of English prose
A Lincoln with the weight Of the
world on his heart, may approach the
style. And the careful student is apt
to believe that it has inspired in the
! literature of our race, the directness,
| simplicity dignity. earnestness and
rhythm which mark the classic prose
of our tongue.
Effect Not Limited.
And one can but echo the fine judg-
ment of Professor Gardiner, as he says,
Certainly an intimate acquaintance
with the English Bible is the best pos
sibIe preparation for study of Eng
| fish literature, or for the matter of that,
of any literature" For the Bible holds
/ its own through all change. Men of all
/ classes and all degrees of education
! have found equal delight in its stories
| and teachings. from John Bunyan and
the peasant father of Burns, to Scott
and Browning. Arnold and Ruskin'
| Emerson and Fiske. and today one can
| be certain of one thing, and that is that
| in no Wav will its effect be limited by
station or education. And because il is
so. and that it touches the soul
with its message, one can but urge you
to study it, if for no other reason than
because it is the supreme piece of Eng
| lish literature.

Schuetz Made Sox Go Some.

Oscar Schuetz of this city made good
in a ten inning game of base ball at Pc
oria the other day and local fans here
are happy. Oscar is with the Peoria
team of the Three / League. Here is
what a Peoria paper has to say:
Oscar Schuetz, New Hampton, Iowa.
He was the first Distiller recruit to
report to Manager Donnelly this spring
and if the thousand fans who saw him
make cold chills go up and down the
spinal column of the White Sox Seconds
yesterday afternoon have their say,
Oscar will remain with US during the
remainder of the season.
This Schuetz boy is surely pitching
kid, in fact he is so good that Donnelly
allowed him to stick the entire route Of
ten innings against Comiskey's Half
Hose and it was only through fiuke
that the Sox finished the extra inning
game one run to the good. The final
score was to /.
While Schuetz was the real commotion
there were several others who helped
the German tease the Sox and made
John Anderson's S -to-be-champs hus-
tie themoelves to the limit. 1t was
Schuetz, however, who opened the eyes
of the Sox. This big husky youth, who
has yet to reach his twentieth birth
birthday, simply went into the box and
pitched ball. He struck out his share
Of Sox batsmen, pulled himself out of
dangerous holes with ease of veteran,
caught sleepy Soxites on the bases and
fielded every ball that came his way.
An unfortunate slip in the tenth inning
that resulted in wild pitch, allowed
the winning run, but the lad from Iowa
emerged from his first trial with hon or
to spare. New Hampton Tribune.

Farmers Caught on Separator.
From The Des Moines Capital.

Ida Grove, Ia, March 25.-A great
sensation was created here when be-
tween sixty and seventy farmers in Ida
county received notice from the United
States circuit court of appeals to the
effect that the so-called Economy cream
separator they had purchased of Sears,
Roebuck & Company, had been de-
clared an infringement and they were
restrained from using the separator.
The farmers who have received notice
have consulted lawyers as to what they
had better do and the lawyers advised
them to break up and sell the old sepa-
rators as old iron and then come to
town and buy new ones. The mail
order house has been restrained by the
court from manufacturing and selling
any more of the separators, and they
were also forced to bring their books
into court and show to whom they had
sold the machines. The users are now
being notified that they must not use
them.
