CALIFORNIA LETTER

The following is an extract from
a letter received by Mr.. Gamble from
s. c. Mason, 1873 East Ave., Los Ange-
les, California:

Murphy visits the Governor and the

too much to hope that the twenty

Why should one man, and he q

Judge on Monday. The TAX ferret

bring this suit and 1t was argued Tor
Berea College by Hon. A. Il. Burnam.
The constitution OF Kentucky ex-
plicitly exempts educational institu-
tons from taxation. but there has
been a series OF attempts, IN different
counties, to defeat this constitutional
provision. One of the earliest OF these
attempts was made In 1896 upon tha
trustees OF the Kentucky Female Or
phans' School. The City OF Louis
Vile tried to tax buildings owned by
this School in Louisville. The Court
held that the constitutional exemption
would, with regard to an education
al Institution, embrace It's endow-
ment and property in whatever forms
these assets might be found The
same principle was upheld a li,tle
later In suit against the Baptist
Theological Seminary. In spite CT
these decisions the prosecution under
took TO tax certain Of Berea's adj
juncts-water works. woodworking
machinery, laundry. cooperative
store, tavern, and printing Office.
The County Judge modestly recos-
nized that this was only the first

pass upon the matter. lie settled
the case adversely TO the prosecution
on four counts. exemptlng from tax

so, however, were rather narrow.
For example, II might be inferred
from his language that IL the Col

water to other citizens. who desired
II. 80 that the total consumption OF
water In the village should be con-
siderable, the County Judge would
l hold that the water works would be
|subject to taxation. With regard 10
two adjuncts he held that the Col
lege was liable to taxation, and these
cases will be appealed.
The cooperative store is an ar
rangement which exists in all schools
where self-supporting students are
considered and Is as much a part of
the domestic arrangements as is the
boarding hall. The hotel. lot and

taken and Coverdale took 1t upon
himself to meet the need.
His Advantage
Miles Coverdale was born in York
shire. the same county of England
that gave birth to Wiclif, in l4SS.
He was educated as a monk Of the
Augustinian order. the one to which
Luther had belonged. Because Of
change in his belief, however. he
left the order and became one Of the
band Of reformers. Coverdale can
not be regarded as SO great scholar
as Tindale but his gentle, tolerant
nature and his friendly relations With
some Of the men who stood close to
the king. Henry VIII. enabled him
TO do what none had been able thus
far to do.
From "Douche" and "Latyn''
The Bible Of Coverdale came out
in 1886. II was a small folio and was
entitled. "Biblia, The Bybie. that
is the Holy Scriptures of the olde
and New Testament faithfully trans
lated out of the Douche and Latyn
into Englishe." We know that the
work was begun IN England, for Cover
dale wrote to his friend Thomas Crom-
well letter in which he said. Nov
! begin to taste Of the Holy Scrip
lures; now honour to God, l am set
TO the most sweet smell OF holy let
ters." But just where the work was
completed and published no one
knows with certainty.
Commendable Modesty
The modesty OF Coverdale as he
undertook the work and the spirit
In which II was done Is revealed by
himself in his words, considering
how excellent knowledge and learn
ing an interpreter Of Scripture ought
TO have In the tongues and pondering
also mine own insufficiency therein
and how weak l am TO preform the
work OF translator. was the more
loath to NEEDLE with the work."
Splendid Tact

ticles, Tobias, Judith, Ecclesiasticus.

Characteristic Expressions
The English of the Coverdale Bible
is not materially different from that
Of Tindale but there are some quaint
expressions. In the Proverbs we read
for example. "He that is blabbe OF
his tongue maketh devysion." IN
Acts the widows who were neglected
in the daily ministrations were said to
be mot looked upon in the daylie
hand reachinge." In judges the wo-
man who threw a mill stone on the
head of Abimelech broke his brain
panne' and in Psalms, the righteous
man shalt not need to be afraid for
any bugges by night or for the or
row that flyeth by day." The phrase
in jeremiah els there no triacle in
Gilead'' has caused the Coverdale
Bible to be referred to as the Urea
Gle Bible"
Rare and imperfect
The Coverdale Bibles are very rare
and not single perfect one is known
to be in existence. Even imperfect
copies are rare and command price
of from $4,000 to $1,000 a copy.
Died Natural Death
Coverdale was Obliged to leave
England during the reign of Bloody
Mary but on her death returned and
was honored until his death in 1863,
at the goodly age of eighty-one years.

Coverdale's Distinction

In the history of the English Bible
a third place must be given to Miles
Coverdale. the first TO give the Bible
as a whole to the English people t.
their own tongue in printed form.
Neither Wiclif nor nndale, splendid
as their work was, had done this.
Way Prepared
For this work of Coverdale the
way was partly prepared because
the king had practically been forced
to make promises that the people
should have a Bible in their native
tongue. But no active steps were

and Policy

The Coverdale Bible was dedicated
to Henry VIII, King Of England. with
the evident purpose of winning his
approval. According to some accounts
this king did appoint a commission
to examine the Bible and report. Az
ter long delay they reported that 1t
had faults. The king requested 10

More Complimentary
Words For American
State Bank.

We deeply appreciate the many
nice things said about our first
years record when the bank show
ed nearly $4,000 on deposit and
declared an s per cent dividend on
its stock.
All the officers and directors
were re- elected for the coming year,
showing the confidence in which
they were held by the stock
holders. There were no resig-
nations, which means that all the
officers and directors were satisfied
with their conn ection with the
bank.
But we have just heard from our
corresponding bank in New York
City; the bank that stands behind
us with their millions of money to
furnish us with what we need to re-
| lend to the good people Of Ben Hill
County. This is what they say al
ter their first years connection
with us:
"The statement you sent re-
garding the progress your bank
has made is a very flattering one
and your management must feel
very much gratified at the re-
markable success you have met
with SO far, and you have our
best wishes for continued pros
perity. We have every expect"
ancy of being able to comply
with your wishes this coming
year."
We honestly solicit the business
of every reputable citizen and
especially the FAKMEko, lor we
are here to do you all good as far
as our means will allow. We loan
ed over 100000, the past year and
will be in a position to lend more
than this in 1912 on good, secured

themselves with bank who appre-
ciates them thoroughly, we beg

Catarrh causes indigestion, decay

into the throat, watery and inflam-
ed eyes. hacking cough, dizziness,
