DR.. Rainolds In Charge.
DR.. RainoIds became the leading
spirit in the actual making of the new
version. Perhaps more than any 9TH
er man he IS entitled to the honor or
the so called King James version The
ffty-four scholars and divines chosen
for the task were divided into six
groups. and a certain part of the work
was allotted to each. To Rainolds
and his associates were assigned the
prophets But the leader was not
to see the completion of the task Dr.
Rainolds died in 1907. three years be-
fore the translation was finished.
Two of the groups worked at Ok
ford two at Cambridge and two at
Westminster For the most part their
task was not so much translation as
comparing and editing. They selected
from all the versions already made,
and so wisely and conscientiously were
the selections made that the result has
stood the test of the centuries. They
did not tconfine themselves wholly TO
the Genevan, Tyndale, Coverdale and
other English versions, however. They
employed Luther's German translation
as well as the original Greek and He
brew They sought for clear and sim
pie renderings in strong Anglo-Saxon
words Many of the happiest and best
phrases were their own.
With the possible exception of Lu-
Tiers there has never been a transla-
ton of the Bible in any tongue that
has received such praise or exerted
such influence. 1t has been the most

1t has not only colored the whole of
English civilization, but has fixed the
language and immeasura oily Influenced
literature and politics. The great
movement toward democracy and lib
erty of our race has taken place since
the issuance of the King James YER
sion. AS this momentous epoch of
revolutions and reforms, beginning
with the Cromwell revolution in 1912,
mas been so profoundly affected
throughout by the religious impulse,
who can measure the effects thereon
OF this English Bible? 1t was the
mainstay of Cromwell and his indie
pendents, who in turn became the fore
runners OF modern democracy.
The actual work of translation was
completed in 1910, and the manuscripts
passed through the hands OF Thomas
Bilson, bishop of Winchester, and of
Dr. Miles Smith before going to the
printer. The publication occurred ear
" IN 1911.

Chief Of Police Sanders began yes
terday the rigid enforcement of the
ordinance requiring all water closets
upon premises fronting or abutting
upon any street through which runs n
public sanitary sewer to be connected
with such sewer.
This ordinance was passed by the
city council on September 2Sth, 1910,
and became effective on November
2Sth, 1910, and although the majority
of people in the city have already COM
piled with the law, great many have
not yet done so, and it is the intention
of the marshal to rigidly enforce the
compliance from now on, as sufficient
time has already been allowed for all
property owners to have made the re-
quired connections.
The ordinance provides that any per-
son convicted of violating same shall
be punished by fine of not exceed
ing $50, or by imprisonment not ex-
ceeding thirty days, or both, at the
discretion of the recorder, and that
each days continuance of any act
deemed unlawful by this ordinance
shall constitute a separate offense.r
