| Recognizing the Importance of the 3OOth
anniversary of the publication OF the
King James version Of the English Bible,
the American Bible Society at New York
has proposed that the first Sunday after
Easter, which is April %. be celebrated
by the people Of the United States. The
Church of England will celebrate March
20, as stated in these columns few days
ago. Rev. DR.. Haven, one Of the secre-
taries Of the American Bible Society, has
given me g. draft Of q program OF SUD-
jects which are regarded as suitable for
the celebration Of the tercentenary, as
follows:
1. The story Of the growth of the Eng
lish Bible from the first TRANSACTIONS into
English to the King James version.
2 The later revisions and TRANSACTIONS
in English, the revision of 1Ssl-iSoo' the
American standard revision OF 1901, the
Twentieth Century Testament and the
American Readers Bible, etc.
3. The influence of the English Bible on
the English language.
4. The influence of the EngnSh blple
5. The English Bible and the life of
the people: it's influence on customs laws,
government and social life.
6. The King James version as related to
other great versions, ancient and modern.
T. The peculiar place of the English
Bible in missions.
8. The English Bible as factor in the
spiritual life of the English-speaklng peo-
pie.
Q. The English Bible and civil liberty.
The secretaries of the American Bible
Society will furnish detailed programs for
such celebrations if applied for.

History Of the Translation.

A list of books bearing upon the his
tory of the translation authorized by
King James, which was published In
London in 1911, has been prepared for
the use of those who wish to participate
in the celebration, and will be sent free
of cost to any one who will write to the
Bible house, New York, asking for it.
The principal authority mentioned Is
1.-THE History Of the English Bible" by
S. G. Ayres and Charles F. Sitterly, which
was published in 1898. 1t Is now out or
print, but can be found in public libraries
1.-The Dictionary of National Biography
gives more or less information concerning
the men who had to do with the original
translation and the recent revision.
Sir Walter Scott, in 1.-The Fortunes Of
Nigel" gives an accurate and graphic
picture of the situation in England at the
time Of the King James version was pub
lished. and all the histories Of England
contain references to that great event
from different points of view. No book
has ever been circulated SO extensively,
no book has ever been written about and
discussed so much and the photography
of King James version alone, as prepared
by the secretaries of the American Bible
Society of New York, contains Ill titles,
mostly historical.
1t is suggested that the federal govern
states might appropriately make some
public recognition of the relation of the
king James version to the foundation and
development of our free institutions; ..,at
the judiciary and the bar might recog-
nize the Bible as the foundation of divine
and human law, and that the presidents
of universities and colleges and heads
Of schools throughout the country might
participate in the commemoration In rec
IGNITION of the value of the Engl sh Bible
as a force in the education and culture OF
the people and its record as the nobiest

Issued 81, 2e6, 1872 Copies.

The American Bible Society alone has
issued 81, 296 1872 copies of the Scriptures
since it's organization, including ten mill
lion copies in various languages of China
and two millions in Japan, nearly 3OO,OOO
copies having been accepted by the Jap
anese soldiers in the war with Russia

most Incredible
You often hear 1t asserted that religion
is stagnant and that the faith of the
public is dying out, but it is nevertheless
true that mere copies of the Bible are
sold over the counters of the book stores
chan Of any other ten books combined,
and that the sales are increasing every
year. The issues of the American Bible
society in 1910 were the largest on rec
.rd and numbered 2,S26,S31 copies, OF
yhich 1,427.2f7 were published at home
md 1.399.5S4 copies by the society's
-Gents abroad, being printed on mission
Try and other presses in Turkey. Syria,
liam, China and Japan. The only year
mat approached 1910 was 1906. when

,ears the average issue has passed the
anillion mark annually, however, and
curing the last twenty years 1t has
been more than a million and half.

1t is somewhat disc0uraging to the
average American tourist who has been
in Canada In the last week or two, to
read morning and evening in the news
papers Of the financial disasters and
industrial woe in his home country.
me Conservative newspapers play
up in the boldest type items of news
ing of business failures, crop short
ages and the like. kilograms telling Of
mills closing down and Of men thrown
out OF work greet the eye on almost
every page. And it is to prevent the
extension of these disastrous conditions
across the northern boundary line into
Canada that these newspapers are
pleading with the voters to cast their
ballots against Laurier and the Liberal
party.
This same Yankee tourist is not par
tfcularly fiattered to discover that, in
stead of being generally recognized as
an unofficial enissary OF the greatest
and wealthiest and most prosperous ma
ton on earth, he is looked upon fur
lively as a possible prospector search
ing for rich Canadian soft spot on
which to land when the American in
dustrlal collapse is complete.
But, perhaps, the thing that rankles
most IN the breast Of the visiting Yam
kee is that he is compelled to read and
to hear many times every day the
statement that the reciprocity agree

inferjority and were impelled by the de-
sire to reach out to the north and share

that 1t is a bad thing for Ontario and

People in Dungeons 100 Years Ago.
Scarcely 100 years ago, insanity was
regarded as a disgrace and as an evil
dence of entertaining devils. Mad peo-
pie were hidden away in dungeons,
they were chained in dark cells. and
for hundreds of years they were beaten
and brutally treated, with the idea OF
driving out the demons.
Today insanity is known to be dis
ease, the result of wrong methods OF
life, of ignorance of the laws of ma
ture, of wrong thinking and eating and
drinking and exercising.
Today, skilled physicians and meta
physicians devote their lives to the
effort of helping and healing the un-
fortunate victims of mental disorders
and Just recently there has been or
ganized in the state of Connecticut a
new society for larger usefulness in
this special line of helpfulness.
Compare the work of this society
which is described below, with the con-
dlUons surrounding the insane In any
previous century; and then think how
ridiculous and ignorant are the state
ments made by pessimists, that human
beings have not advanced morally with
the progress of time.
