R. $ and who recently represented John McAlmont chapter at the national convention in Washington.

The meeting was opened with the singing of America after which roll call, reading of the minutes and the report of the treasurer were heard. Mrs. Noel was then heard on the constitution and by-laws of the chapter, which she had prepared. She has been working for several years Dn the new constitution and when the report was heard it was subse- quently recognized as valuable code by the members and was accepted. The years of careful preparation and deep study by MIs Noel was easily seen in the rules which in future will govern John McAlmolt chapter. The program for the meeting was as f)l lows:
 Instrumental solo. Mrs. Dillard H. Saunders.
 Paper, The Mecklenburg Declara- tion of Independence, Mrs. s. C.. Alexander.
 Vocal solo, Miss Jessie Banks.

Mrs. Noel spent two weeks in the national capital and was the guest at many brilliant social affairs. She was present at President Taft's address to the Daughters of the Rev olution and also heard Bob Taylor's address. The meeting was attended by about thirty ladies among whom were Mrs. David Walt, of Little Rock a member of the chapter, and Mrs. Harry Hankins, of Monticello, who is also a member. The home was de- lightfully decorated, many pretty roses being used throughout the decorations. Mrs. Bellamy was assist ed in entertaining by Mrs. Fox.

The Bible Precautionary.

In New York at Carnegie Hall on
April 18th, at Il notable gathering in
celebration of the Booth anniversary of
the publication # the King James ver-
sion of the English Bible, Bishop
Greer of the Episcopal Diocese of New
York presided at the ccrmony, which
was held under the auspices Of the
Amererican Bible Society. James
Bryce, the British ambassador, read
the kings letter and delivered an adj
dress. President Taft's letter follows:
81 desire to express my deep interest
in the recognition which is being taken
in this country Of so notable an event
as the 300th anniversary of the King
James version of the English Bible.
"The publication of this version of
the dolly Scriptures in the year 1911
associates it with the early colonies of
the Eoglish people upon this continent.
1t became at once the Bible, of our
American forefathers. Its classic Eng
lish has given shape to American litera-
ture. Its spirit has influenced Ameri-
can ideals in life and laws and govern
ment. / trust that this celebration may
continue and deepen the influence of
the Bible upon the people of this re-
public"
King George wrote as follows;
81 rejoice that America and England
should Join in commemorating the pub
licatIon 300 years ago of that version
of the Holy Scriptures which has 80
long held its own among English
speaking peoples. Its circulation in
cur homes has done more, perhaps,
than anything else on earth topromote
moral and religious welfare among old
and young on either side Of the At
laptic.
"The version which bears King
James name is so clearly interviewer
in the history of British and American
life that it is right we should thank
God for it together. 1 congratulate the
President and people of the United
states upon their share IN this our
compton heritage
