CHATTANOOGA LETTER

Chattanooga. Tenn, Jan. 10, 1911.
Editor OF The Citizen
Since II has been q time honored
custom Tor students and friends Of
Berea College TO write letters to
The Citizen ! take advantage OF the
opportunity to tell Its readers some
thing about Chattanooga and the
historic points around the city.
Chattanooga is very enterpris-
ing city Of $4,000 people situated on
the bend Of the Tennessee River in
the valley that runs north and south
between Lookout Mountain and Mis-
sionary Ridge. Not only is Chatta-
nooga interesting to the student of
Civil War history but It is interest
ing to the captain OF modern industry
because he finds here a good invest
ment for his millions.
The points Of War interest are as
follows: Chickamauga Park in Geor-
gia, twelve miles south OF the city,
where 10000 men were killed and
wounded; Missionary Ridge running
almost north and south along the
east side OF the city for distance
OF eight miles; Lookout Mountain on
the west side and Orchard Knob now
In the city where Gen. Grant had
headquarters during the fall of 1853.
The battle OF Chickamauga began
Sept IS, 1868, and lasted three DAYS.
The strength of Rosecran's army
during this struggle was 6i,322 while
Bragg opened with 1888 the first
day but was reinforced by Long
streets corps which raised the force
to 47.S2l.' The Federal army was dri-
ven back into Chattanooga while the
Confederates occupied Lookout Noun
tain on the west and Missionary
Ridge on the east.
The first place that l visited was
Mission Ridge where Bragg camped
from Sept. till Nov. 20, when he was
compelled to retreat in the direction
of Atlanta followed by Sherman.
The Government has built beautiful
roads from Chattanooga up Mission
airy Ridge and from there to Chicka-
manga along the lines OF the old
roads. The entire distance as much
as possible is kept in the same condi-
ton 1t was in during the campaign
of SO.

Geneva Bible

Geneva Bible
Next in the list Of English Bibles
was one that came forth from the
band of religious exiles who fled from
England to escape the prosecutions Of
Bloody Mary. From various places On
the continent of Europe they gradu-
ally drifted to Geneva. Switzerland,
the Mountain Republic and the home
of civil and religious liberty. The
Geneva Bible was first published IN
1860 and received its name from that
city of refuge. Its title reads; "The
Bible and Holy Scriptures, contained
In the Olde and Newe Testamente,

Translated according to the Ebrue

Distinguishing Feature
There were several features which
distinguished this Bible from those
that went before II. II was the first
of the English Bibles to be printed in
the present Roman letters instead Of
the old English and was the first

tons were to be found in the book
but maps were included for the first
time.
Largely a New Translation
The Geneva Bible was more near
ly a new translation than some of
the versions that preceded it but
still the fine phrases OF Tindale are
recognized. The spirit of scholarship
is shown in keeping the purity of
the original text by printing in ital-

Many Helps
In the arrangement Of the books
and the grouping into an old and
a new Testament. it was like the
Bible Of today. There was much ex-
planatory material and notes upon
the text filled the margins. No BIZ

Work Of Scholars
Many scholars took part in the
production Of the Geneva Bible but
the leading spirits were William
Nottingham, Anthony Gilbey and
Thomas Sampson. They were all not
ed as scholars Of language and for re-
ligious character, having held import
ant positions in their own country.
The expenses of the translation and
publication of the Bible were met
by the members of the English
church In Geneva which numbered
several hundred. Geneva at the time
of the publication OF this Bible was
under the religious and civil author
ity Of the reformer John Calvin and
the Bible bears many marks of his
system of thought. Especially is this
to be seen in the notes on the mar
gin. For example a note to Romans
TX. is reads ."As the only will and
purpose of God is the chief cause
Of election and reprobation So his free
mercy in Christ is an inferior cause
of salvation and the hardening Of
the heart an inferior cause of dam
nation
Apt Notes
Some of the notes are very apt
as may be seen from the following
comment on Romans vi. 5. 1.-THE Greek
word meaneth that we grow up to-
gether with Christ as we see moss,
ivy, mistletoe or such like grow up
by tree and are nouTished by the
Juice thereof"
Dedicated to Queen
The Geneva Bible was published in
the reign Of Queen Elizabeth and
is dedicated to this Most virtuous
and noble queen" with the hope ex-
pressed that God should bring to
pass some wonderful work by your
grace to the Universal comfort Of
His church."
Most Popular Bible
The Geneva Bible was the most
popular one that had yet appeared.
1t passed through as many as $50
editions circulating and being pub
lished even after the version Of King
James came out. 1t was this Bible
more than any other around which
the Puritans rallied in their struggle
with the Stuart Kings and it held
its place until the middle of the 18th
century. This Bible is often referred
TO as the "Breeches Bible" because
of the use of the word "breeches" in
stead of aprons" in Genesis III, z.
The Illustration
The picture which accompanies
this article was made from a copy
of one of the editions of this Bible
printed in 1915 and secured by Presi-
dent Frost in his recent visit to
England. In this edition the old Eng
lish type was again used and other
features appeared such as the Litany
of the church, the Psalter and the

sELF-DENlALs IN EDUCATION.

Speaking OF the driveling life a
youth must undergo these days and
the many influences that war with
clean life, clean thoughts and fine
aspirations, Cornelia A. P. Conner. in
"A Letter to the Rising Generation, !"
in the Atlantic, says: Il don't APP
prove, your fathers and mothers say
anxiously, but hate to keep Tom
and Mary at home when all the other
children are allowed to CO." These
parents are conscientious and ener-
getic in looking after Toms teeth and
eyes, and Mary's hair, tonsils and ma
sal passage, but seem utterly uncon,
scious that mental ricketts, and curva,
ture Of the soul are far more deform-
ing than crooked teeth and adenoids.
III these children were protected from
"a vicious environment and educated
into habits Of pure, clean, sensible
life, there would need be much less
anxiety concerning crooked teeth and
nasal passages, says the Ohio State
journal. What education needs to
make itself worth while is conflict
with the vulgarizing Influences out
side the home and the schoolroom.
Life has become a hard problem for
the children. They are surrounded BY
cloud Of pleasures and Vaccinations
that lead them away from virtue, cul-
ture and serious thought It may not

The terrible infantile paralysis con-
tinues to be a puzzle to the medical
fraternity. 1t is malady that appeared
years ago, but not until lately has 1t
assumed epidemic proportions. The
disease is an affection of the spinal
cord. though It involves the heart, liv.
er, kidneys and lymphoid tissues. Eff
forts have been made to discover the
germ Of the disease. but 1t seems to
be SO small as to escape detection,
says the Ohio State Journal. It is
possible, that some time this winter
the bacillus viii turn up, since great
investigations are going on in the lab
oratories. The devastations Of the
malady seem to have decreased dur
ing the cold weather. but there are
apprehensions that early in the spring
the fatalities will reappear. It is hop
ed by then the germ will be found
out and an antitoxin devised for its
demolition. While this disease Is
prone to attack children. adults, too,
are subject to It 1t is said about 20
per cent Of the cases die.
