MONUMENT TO SCHOLAR.

| or deep interest to thcologians and
biblical students. to the religious
world generally, and. indeed to tho
| historical and literary world, is the
announcement that the work OF the
| Jewish committee charged with the
| preparation of now English version
/ of the Bible-that is, the Old Tcsta-
ment divisions we'll under way.
From the segregated standpoint of the
Jewish faith. i, is designed that the
forthcoming version shall substitute
in the Jewish congregations the Isaac
published some forty years ago. but u
far wider scope attaches to II, when 1t
is viewed apart from that considera-
ton.
The profoundness and thoroughness
OF Jewish scholarship, whenever and
wherever 1t has had an opportunity
FOR development, is recognized the
civilized globe over, and in no domain
have these qualities been made more
manifest than in that biblical lore.
Therefore, the Importance of the un-
dertaking and the broadness OF its
promised value arc emphasized by the
fact that coordinate and further
special design OF the committee, which
includes scholars and eminent lin
gusts of both tho Orthodox and the
Reformed faiths, is to give transla-
ton based on the historical jewish IN
depreciation OF the Old Testament
scriptures, in tho light OF exploration
of the wealth of Hebrew biblical COM
mcntary. aided by what available texts
in various languages Will reveal
The immense mine Of the former,
the contents of which have been ac-
cumulatlng for ages, and some of
which still exists only in manuscript
form. is 1t may be remarked in pussing,
virtually sealed, save to the Jewish
literary and scholastic cults. The Tai
mud, the Mishna. with Its commentary
or exposition, the Gcmara. with which
the average reader is acquainted ny
name at least. constitute but a small
lead or chamber Of the mine.
Some details OF the labor OF the COM
mittee OF peculiar interest to English
scholars arc that the new text, SO far
as 1t has been tentatively completed,
differs but slightly from the st. James
version. and still less from the So
called revised version. which, by the
way, has made very slow progress In
tho Protestant churches-and that,
save where 1t is obsolete E!lizabe THAN
English, will be adopted in the final
translation and production.
This in itself with have an important
bearing on the question OF maintaining
the English standards of style and
meaning of words, and the tendency to
obscure IDEAS by taking too much and
unwarrantcd liberty with ctymology
as such liberty is illustrated in the
mulHtudinous derivatives from one root
often found in some OF the modern
lcNicons. The names of those compos-
ing tho committee on the new version.
and their standing in educational and
rabbnical circles, assure that their
work will be another monument TO

The launch, Capt. ]. j. Meyler, will
take the place of the launch Hills
borough, which is now in use by Capt
John F. Slattery, who is in charge OF
the work in this district. Word has
lust been received that the new
launch will be completed in time to
leave Port Clinton on November 1,
for this port. The trip will be from
Port Clinton which is on Lake Erie,
and will be via the Erie canal and
the Hudson river and then taking
the inland waterway course along the
Atlantic seaboard.
The Erie canal will close to traf'
fic about November IA for the winter
season, and it is therefore necessary
to get the new launch completed and
through the canal before the middle
of November. The launch will be a
commodous one and a great improve
ment on the Hillsborough, and if ii
were not that it will be used for gov
eminent work it would be called a
yacht by a private owner. The Capt
