James Version Was Made.

Circumstances Under Which King
James Version Was Made.
In connection with the three hun
dredth anniversary of the publication
of King James version of the holy
Scriptures it may be interesting to re-
call a few historical facts
The version of what was known as
"the Bishops Bible" which was then
generally used by theologians and the
clergy. was suggested by DR.. John
RafnoldS, president of Corpus Christi
college, Oxford, and leader of the Pu-
ritan party in England. DR.. Rainolds
argued that zone of the things amiss
in the church was the imperfect
translation of the holy Scriptures, and
he recommended to the king that "the
best learned in both universities COX
ford and Cambridge should take some
special pains in behalf of one uniform
translation and that after them it
should be reviewed by the bishops and
the chief learned Of the church and
from them presented to the privy
council and lastly be ratified by his
royal authority, SO that this whole
church should be bound unto it and
none other"
DR.. Bancroft, bishop of London, OPP
posed the suggestion with great en-
ergy and declared that eff every mans
humor should be followed there would
be no end of TRANSACTIONS" but King
idea, and in January, 1904. he called
together a conference on ecclesiastical
matters at Hampton Court palace.
The king himself selected the -four
and fifty learned men, to revise the
text of the Bishops Bible" with the
aid of other translations, and on the
30th of June, 1904. he wrote DR.. Ban
croft, bishop of London. commanding
him to take measures tc compensate
the revisers by church preferment.'
In a very royal way the king indi-
Gated that he would like to have borne
the expenses of these committees, but
some OF his lords did hold 1t incon-
venient." so he requested 'the bishops
and chapters to contribute toward this
work. with the suggestion that This
majesty would be acquainted with
every mans liberality.'' But nothing
seems to have been subscribed, and all
the compensation the translators re-
ceived was free entertainment in the
colleges at Oxford and Cambridge I'M

vision in London, when they were

Six committees of scholars were Sc
|lected, in Cambridge and two to meet
in Westminster, and to each of these
committees were assigned groups of
books. The first Westminster COM
pany consisted of ten scholars, and
Launcelot Andrews, dean of Westmin-
ster, afterward bishop of Winchester,
was chairman, the same Bishop An
drews whose "Preces Privatae" is one
of the choicest books of private devo-
ton ever issued.
By the kings orders the Bishops
Bible, which was made by Wiclif &
Tyndale, was the foundation of the
new translation, and it was the prac-
tice for one member of committee
to read tie text while the rest held in
their hands French, Spanish, Italian,
Hebrew and Greek TRANSACTIONS. eff
they found any fault they spoke; if not
he read on. This indicates the method
employed in this important undertake
ling. The committee did not fairly get
to work before 1907, and it was en-
gagged four years at its task. Finally,
when each group had finished its work
they came together in London and
after nine months of wrangling sue
ceeded in putting together the new
Robert Barker, Printer to His Maj
esty the King in Powles Churchyard,
at the syne of the tygres head
Not one of the Bibles used by the
six committees is known to exist. None
of the manuscript notes, annotations
or comm entaries has been preserved
and the original manuscript furnished
Mr.. Barker also has disappeared. The
king interfered continually with the
work OF the committee, but does not
seem to have done much damage. He
ordered all marginal comments strick-
en- out on the ground that they "sa
vored too much of dangerous and
traitorous conceit." He continually
expressed contempt for the Puritans
and "hated them worse than the pa
pists," saying that their criticism of
the clergy of the Established church
"was only new toot on an auld
horn"
There has always been a difference
of opinion as to the number of the
first edition, but it was probably in
the neighborhood of 5000 copies, and
the selling price was pounds, or
about $25, a copy. Copies of the first
edition now bring about $500 at auc-
ton. and there are believed to be be-
tween 800 and 400 in existence at
present. They are found in nearly all
the important libraries both in Europe
and the United States. J. p. Morgan
has several copies in his remarkab BILE
collection of Bibles, which, by the way,
is unrivaled by any except that of the
British museum, and they have spe-
cial value, because nearly all of them
were once the property of famous men.
A second edition of King James ver-
sion was published in 1912 and a third
in 1913. There is very little difference
except in the style of the type.

The Bible is the most widely dis
tributed and most read book in Ger

society'S report. The sale last year
amounted to more than 100000 cop

According to one of the newspaper
correspondents, there are now 100 i'm
perial students in the United States,
under the care of Young Kwal, secre-
tary of the Imperial Chinese Legation
in Washington.
Chicago has become one of the lead
ing Roman Catholic cities of the
world, ranking with Rome, Paris,
Vienna, Dublin and Munich as
stronghold of that church. No other
city in the world ever rose from
single parish with 100 communicates
to an archdiocese of 100000 souls in
seventy-five years.
1t is proposed to build college in
South America for the native black
people; not an ordinary college, which
directs its efforts solely to the train
ing of the mind, but a college some
thing on the lines of that run by Mr..
Booker Washington at Tuskegee.
The annual meeting of the executive
committee of the Laymen's Missionary
Movement, held in New York City re-

the two years since it was launched
were Of gratifying character. The
meeting is represented to have been
one of the strongest ever held The
gain in the total gifts for foreign mis-
sions in the United States and Canada

The Presbyterian church in the
United States is adopting the Omaha

BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
There is always mystery in Chris
tan growth. After the vii. has done
it's best, and after mind and heart
have exhausted their powers, there
still remains that to be done which is
possible only to the mysterious, mex
plicabIe, but none the less real and
mighty, Holy Spirit. Only the Spirit
of Christ can give a believer the m1nd
of Christ. Without his help, holiness,
happiness and highest service are i'm
possible The transformation of char
acter which is Christianity's greatest
present-day showing to the world is
impossible apart from that Helper who
stands to every disciple in place of the
risen Redeemer.
All of Gods paths lead upward.
A new will must precede a new
work, as purpose goes before perform
must vitalize all new forms of service,
If the latter are to have power.
One of the bright and practical pro-
auctions of the fertile brain of Maltbie
D. Babcock was this acrostic:
Right
Working.
Of all the considerations moving
Christians to larger and better work,
none, next to the will of God, is SO i'm
portant as the need which calls for in
creased service. There are poor to be
fed, sick to be visited, prisoners to be
encouraged, gloomy lives to be bright
ened, ignorant to be taught, lost to be
saved, all of which waits upon the
birth of holy ambition in the hearts
of those who call themselves disciples
! of the eager-spirited Jesus.
