THE HILLS OF HOME.

Down the long path we roam,
The reckoning goal of storm

The beautiful Hills of Home.
There are fair white paths down

There's a thrill on the breast of

But deep in our dream Is the call

OF the heart-keeping Hills of

And scatter it's flowers at our

But the last quiet rest we would

The Men Who Translated King James
Bible Were Real Scholars.

Boston, April "a. That the
men who translated the King
James Bible 300 years ago knew
how to use the English language
better than any body of scholars
that could be gathered together
in the whole world to-day is the
opinion of President VIM. H. P.
Faunce, of Brown University.
Speaking at the Bible Tercenten-
airy meeting in Trinity church
last night, DIR. Faunce said:
''Men knew how to use the
language then as we know how
to use edged tools to-day. We
can't equal them. We know toe
much to be simple. We have toe
many doubts to be sure; we are
too conscious of the verdicts Of
the critics to aim straight at the
hearts of the people.
'Since 1911 no man in England
or America has written in such
direct or simple style as these
Bible translators, save John Bun
yam and Abraham Lincoln = the
latter in his second Inauguration
and Gettysburg addresses. !"

TEMPERANCE COLUMN
watterson on Drink.

AS il generally known, Col. Henry
Wntterson, the veteran editor of the
Louisville Courier-J ournal, is oppos-
ed to prohibition. 1t is not general
ly known, however, says the Shreve-
port Times, that be is also opposed
to drinking and gambling; that his
advice to young men is to abstain
from liquor ind from cards. "Wat-
terson is brilliant man in some re-
spects,' said a prominent minister
to the writer some months ago, but
he is vulgar, depraved in taste and u
bad example altogether" These
may not have been his exact words,
but they were the intent and effect of
whit he said.
The Courier-Journal Ia tely contain
ed an editorial by Colonel Watterson
IA sermon, we might say-showing
more intimateview of the man. 1t
Is entitled Touching Success in Life
and is reply to "a young man who
had written to him from Jackson

whisky and as to the course to pur-
sue to attain succes s in life.

quireds drink, ii at all, light drinks
and with food; still better, total alb
stinence; cards not all, whether fol
fun or money-for where they do not
waste money they waste time"
We doubt if a more powerful ser
mon has been written upon this sub
ject than is contained in Colone
watterson's editorial-powerful be
cause it is practical; because it comes
from man who has had more thar
the usual opportunities for observ
