OLD PURITAN BIBLE BOXES
Curious Carved Chests for the Safe
Keeping of Copies of the
Scriptures.

Almost invariably after some great
wave of religious enthusiasm, we are
confronted by strange fragments of
salvage relicts of the emotional pas.
sion and religious ardor of a departed
hour, says the Queen Such were the
devotional carvings OF the middle
ages-the triptyches, the private tab
ernacies, the beautiful little ivory
madonnas
Among such memorials are the vast
old Puritan Bible boxes. Cumbrous,
ancient arks, into which the revised
version of James /. was once commit
ted for safe ward and keeping The
sound oakboards with which they were
made have resisted the tooth of time.
In the long journeys of the men OF
the Puritan period, when the scrip
lures were part of the daily accom-
paniment of life, the province OF these
old boxes may readily be seen. With
In the home they were made to con-
tain those ponderous family Bibles IN
which. especially during the common
wealth, the head of the house care
fully inscribed the birth, death or mar
rfage of his children with other memo
rabilia of family life This circum-
stance in the absence of other anthem
tic records, and the iaxity of parish
registers. has sometimes proved an in
valuable aid How little we could have
spared, for instance, that volume In
which Milton recorded the very hour
and minute of his children's birth.
Ash wood was sometimes used In
the manufacture of Bible boxes, but
oak was the most popular from its
superior powers of resistance, for we
must remember they were at times in
the possession OF ecclesiastical stall
warts, the vigor Of whose preaching
was sometimes calculated by the
amount of damage done to the pulpit
furniture.
Throughout the commonwealth, and
by the general convention of 1856,
travelling ministers were gratuitously
supplied with Bibles, a very expensive
item; and in struggling pastorates the
book, with its appropriate Golfer, often
formed the sole effects of new con
venticle. 1t is curious fact that
Bibles We're sometimes subjected to
rafting, even in those austere days
! In 1875 one Dr. Wilde bequeathed $3.50
for the purpose of providing Bibles to
be rallied among the poorer brethren

An actor was talking at the Play
ers' Club in New York about David
Belasco's skill as stage manager.
"Belasco," said the actor, has a
superhuman sense of the harmonies,
the illnesses of things This enables
him to carry out stage scene to
such small details as no man ever
dreamed of before.
