The pleasantest things in the world

A great change in meaning is effect
ed by a slight alteration which the
Revised Version of the Bible has made
in some texts. The changes from the
active to the passive voice are notable.
The old version said, BE strong" the
new says, BE strengthened" That is,
the power is taken from the readers
hands and placed in the hands of God
Irstead of being the active agent, be-
come the passive. Strength is got by
yielding. rather than by striving. God
helps those who cannot help them
selves" In the old Sleepy Hollow
graveyard. in Concord, there is a rough
red boulder that marks the grave of
Emerson, and on it are the lines,
1.-THE passive master bent his hand,
To the vast soul that DER him planned. :"
That is the secret of strength in
Christian service. Give up to God, as
a tool, and he will use the tool for its
highest purpose.

that the bids should be opened on
time.
Through an open door it was then
seen that Mr. Ripley was opening the
sealed bids in his private office in
the presence of Professor Gilmore.
Mr.. Lucas and the newspaper repre-
sentatives then forced their way in
and demanded that the bids be read
aloud as opened. Mr.. Ripley stated
that he believed he had no right to
read the bids, as they were addressed
to Judge Cooper, who was not pres

whence came his authority to open
them. He finally said that he would
give the figures out when he was
good and ready, and that his hand
could not be forced.
Mr.. Ripley got good and ready very
quickly, however, and gave the fig
ures to Jack Lucas and the press rep

years ago, prohibits the sale of beer

the post exchange at Schofeld Bar

beer to the soldiers. This product
is supposed to contain less than two

STRIKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
VALUATION AND ASSESSMENTS

The Bishop Street Extension Com
mission has filed its report with the
governor.
According to this document, the
commission has accepted the valuation
of the owners on the various pieces Of
property involved, which amount in all
to $19S,5S25O.
The value given by the commission
to the Territory's holdings included in

will be closed upon the opening of the

be made up in some manner in case
the commissions recommendations
are acted upon.
