tied at jamestown.
The historical interest OF this book
was increased by the fact that 1t was
the most popular household Bible in
English use before our present Bible
was published and that 1t was the
first Bible marking off verses for easy
reference, and was of special inter-
est because of the quaint wording
claiming that Eve wore breeches in
the Garden of Eden, the forerunner of
the popular woman's rights move
ment.
But aside from It's quaint peculiar
tiles 1t probably was largely in6uen-
tial in getting King James to au-
thorize the issue of our present Bible,
and in explanation of this statement
1t was shown that in this old Pres
byterian Bible there were printed
marginal notes which sanctioned legal
disobedience of the king, a most Of
fensive doctrine to King James, who
believed in the Stuart doctrine of the
divine rights of kings, and that James
was also very touchy upon another
marginal note which indirectly ap-
proved of the execution of his mother,
Mary Queen of Scots.
The King James Version.
In order to get version free from
political and secterian marginal notes
King James directed that fifty-four
of the foremost scholars in the realm
should make a careful translation Of
the accepted manuscripts regardless
Of political or theological bias.
This wise provision has been one
cause of making the Bible of to-day
universally popular among Protestant
believers, until now its annual print
ed issue is 100000 copies. The
prayer of Tyndal that the eyes of the
king might be opened was answered
three years after his death by the
Bible being placed in every parish
church of England a few years after
the fires of Smithfield had opened up
the way of martyrdom to England's
foremost Bible students.
The earnest scholarly labors Of
foremost Bible students in Europe
and America have given the revised
version to Professionalism, and this
great contribution to intelligent ap-
preciation of the latest and most au-
thentic Bible records while meeting
with opposition, naturally would ul-
timately work out as other great ver-
sions had done over similar opposi-
ton, a fixed and honored position in
the minds and hearts of those in
quest of truth in its genuineness and
original strength.-From the Pitts

JAPANESE LABOR POORLY PAID
Low Wages and Workman Not Sue
cess as Machine Operators.

Writing from Vladivostok of a visit
to Japan, Special Agent Roland R.
Dennis says of the efficiency of labor
of that country:
"a visit to Japan tends to disprove
the theory that cheap labor insures
cheap production Of output. The
japanese in many directions, especial
ly in cabinetmaking, is an expert and
finished workman. Although he uses
an infinitesimal plane and planes to-
ward himself, and his handsaw looks
like an overgrown butcher knife with
saw teeth cut in its edge, he produces
fine work. But give him a machine
nearly automatic to tend and he is
not a success. Wire nails are used
exclusively in Japan, and hence there
is an immense demand for them.
Among the very many stock COM
panies formed during the Japanese
Russian War, when money was plen-
tiful, was a wire nail mill. The very
latest up-to-date automatic machinery
was brought out from the United
States, and everything that money
and skill could command was secured
to make the mill great success. AS
a final step superintendent was
brought from large mill in Cleve-
land and put in charge. In spite of
all this expenditure of talent, money
and time, that man is not able to
make nails at price that at all in
terferes with importing and selling at
a satisfactory profit. When asked
why he cannot make nails as cheaply
as he did in Cleveland the superin-
tendent replies: 1T is simply a ques-
tion of labor. In Cleveland one man
tended and kept running four or five
machines; here it takes four or five
men to tend one machine, and they
don't keep it running as it should at

"Coolie labor in Japan commands

Different versions.
In discussing the versions of the
Bible he passed rapidly from the
septuigent to the vulgate, and then
after speaking of the unique work of
Wickliffe and Tyndal amidst great
opposition, eliminating in disinterring
the bones Of the former and cast
ing his ashes upon the river Swift,
and the latter after being exiled from
England to Germany, and printing
his great translation, being impris-

Growing out of the manuscripts of
Wickliffe and the printed Bibles of
Tyndal, influenced too by Luther's
labor in Biblical work, there came
the scholarly work known as the &C.
neva Bible, or "Breeches Bible" A
copy of this version was exhibited
by the speaker with the remark that
1t was not only a volume older than
the plays of Shakespeare, but was
printed about fifty years before the
first book was printed in America,
and years before the Mayfower
