1.-THE American Bible society very
appropriately--in view of it's almost
one hundred years of service in dis
trfbuting this translation of the Scrip
tures-has taken the initiative in pro-
posing a celebration of the third CEN
tennial of the publication of the King
James English Bible, now popularity
called the authorized version. The
society observes that only the year of
blication-1611-is known and not
the specific date of the appearance of
the book within that year. In the OBJ
servanse, therefore. of a known his
toric day for the celebration, 1t is the
society's proposal that observance of
the tricentenary should be arranged
for Sunday, April %, 1911, and the
week succeeding. An open letter to
the public just issued from the Bible
society headquarters. Bible House. AS
tor place, New York, appeals to minis
tiers, Sunday school superintendents,
presidents of institutions of learning,
governmental officials, members of the
judiciary and the bar, and all journal
lists to cooperate in bringing clearly
to popular attention on this great oc-
casion the marvellous influence of the
English Bible in the progress of re-
ligion, liberty, education, literature
and all other aspects of civilization
among Anglo-Saxon peoples"

A Young Mans Folly.
There was the making of wise
man in Rehoboam; he must have in
herited some of his fathers good
traits. for he cautiously asked the
people to give him three days in
which to make decisions. Usually,
youth is precipitate. We might have
expected some impulSive and arrogant
answer on the instant. A grave ques-
ton of national policy was at issue for
consideration and for seeking coun-
sell
What a three days of hubub and
debate and Impotence that must have
been in old Shecheml Gesticulating
Jews squatted about the gates, or
stood in front of the bazars, or sat
in the khans, discussing the probable
decision of the king, and declaring
what they would do in case he should
anxious times in Shechem, for king
and people.
Most persons ask advice when they
desire only approval. Rehoboam re-
jected the counsel of the elder states
men, that he deal leniently with the
teres, because the wine of new power
had gone to his head. He had youth s
intolerance and impotence and cock
sureness and conceit. He Numbered,
as countless others have done before
and since, in regarding the rights OF
special privilege, while cisregarding its
responsibilities. He had power and
knew it; but he had not yet attained
to a sense of stewardship. The vicari-
Gus impulse, which would have made
him put the peoples welfare ahead
of his own. had not developed in his
character.
SO, urged on by sycophants as
"heady" and irresponsible as himself,
he returned an unfeeling and insolent
answer to the subjects from whom he
had got his throne. They exercised
the primitive human right to strike"
or rebel. or whatever else 1t may be
called. The cry, ITO your tents, o
Israeli" arose, and there was a defec-
ton Of ten tribes from the standard
of Judah. Soon Rehoboam was flee
ing across the plain ana the hills for
his very life. Too late he perceived
he had played the fool. The kingdom
of his father was divided. never again
to be reunited.

LOVE NECESSARY IN RELIGION.
When our brother sins against the
laws of his state, his home. his mother,
his race and his God and for those
sins has become a byword and a hiss
ing 1t is not your pleasure-unless you
are a demon inearnate-to spend your
time whispering your brothers sins to
the community's gossips or publishing
them from the housetops to all the

all brothers and sisters. and If we be-
lieve him we will treat all men Just
as we would treat the brothers and
sisters who are born of the same earth

love to the brother in the common
heritage of faith is to shield his good
name, encourage his efforts, help his

CATHEDRAL FOR HELENA.
Catholics Erecting One on Pattern OF
Votive Church at Vienna.

The Catholic corporation of Helena,
Mont. under Bishop John Patrick Car
roll, will spend more than 100000
in that city this year for educational
and church structures. A new ca
thedral is being built, patterned after
the famous Votive church of Vienna
It will be an exact though smaller
copy of that ediflce. 1t is in the form
of a Latin cross. The exterior will be
a series of towers, battlements, pedi-
ments, pinnacles, windows doorways
and bold projections. The extreme df-
mansions will be $50 by 246 feet. On
the gable of the facade will be placed
a statue of st. Helena twelve feet tall.
The college when completed will be
structure three times the size Of
Montana's capitol. This structure will
not be wholly completed at first, this
dimension being the ultimate plan. 1t
will be three stories in height and pat
termed roughly after the White House
at Washington.
The bishop has been greatly aided
by wealthy men Of Montana The late
Peter Larson of Helena bequeathed
nearly 100000 to Bishop Carroll for
his different enterprises. The ground
for the new cathedral was donated
by Colonel Thomas Cruise. the Helena
banker.
