The English Bible: Lest We
Forget.


We are SO accustomed to perfect freedom
of speech, Of printing, and of worshipping
according to the dictates of our own con-
science, that we cannot realize that there ever
was time when 1t cost man his life to do
what we constantly do.
Thousands of men paid the price, and qOe
have the freedom. We enjoy the liberties,
and forget what they cost.
The Bible is in every home, free to every
body. To Jew and to Gentle, it is an open
book. Once, it was sealed letter. Once it
was crime, punishable by death, for a COM
man man to possess Bible
In countries controlled by Roman Catho-
lies, no one but priest can read the Scrip
lures. The only exception to this rule is,
where some Catholic reads under a priest.
There is no independent reading of the Bible
in any Roman Catholic country.
In Froude's "History of England" you
will find some interesting facts concerning
the English Bible. The author says-Vol.
Ill, p. 80
"Before the Reformation, two versions
existed Of the Bible in English. One was
Wicliffes; another, based on Wicliffe's *
and there is said to have been third. but no
copy of this is known to survive
The possession or the use Of these transla-
tons was prohibited by the (Catholic)
Church. uader pain of DEATH"
Yet, the shameless priests of Rome are
telling our people that their church never did
forbid the people to read the Bible!
The historian Froude tells how William
Tyndal turned the Latin of the New Testa-
ment into English, so that the common man
could read 1t for himself.
Tyndal was threatened with death by the
Roman Catholic bishops, and he fed to Ant
werp, where he had his Bible printed
Copies were SECRETLY carried over to Lon
don. The Romanist bishops roared and
cursed, and prepared to kill varmints. "They
opened subscriptions to buy up the hated and
> dreaded volumes. They burnt them publicly
in St. Paul's"
These "holy ones of God" used the church
itself as the place in which they burned the
English Bible!
Yet, the lying rascals now deny that their
Popish gang ever tried to keep the Bible
away from the people.
The Romanist bishops pretended that they
were against the English Bible because it had
not been accurately translated from their
Latin version.
But the King, Henry VIII. answered
them, saying
eff Tyndal's and Wiclife's TRANSACTIONS
are not correct, maize q translation yourself,
or correct what IS wrong in theirs"
But the Romanists refused Then the King
interested himself in the work. and Miles
Coverdale, and other scholars prepared q
complete English Bible, which was approved
by the English King. 1536.)
The King went further; he had law
passed, requiring that copy of the Bible, in
the English tongue be kept in every church,
and that this copy of the Book should be
read TO the people, and should be open to all
= such persons as desired to read 1t for Them

In discussing the situation gener-

Huerta Scoff's at Intervention

Mexico City, Nov. 23.--Resigned ap-
make it necessary to carry on di-
latory campaign against his enemies,
President Huerta and his official de-
pendents appeared serene today con-
yinced that the United States will
not take more drastic measures to-.
ward the Mexican government than
those already taken.
1t has been rumored that con.
gress would not continue to meet
that it would be automatically
dissolved and that General Huerta
was about to quit office. All these
rumors have been disproyed by con.
gress launching itself into what prom
ises to be a prolonged session. 1t is
expected that tomorrow congress will
take up the ratification or nullifica-
tion of the presidential elections, and
it is understood that these will be
annulled, that new elections will be
called and that President Huerta will
remain at the head of affairs.
According to his intimates, no one
realizes more fully than General HUI
erta the desperate straits of his gov
ernment, but he has reiterated his
intention of pounding away at his
enemies until he or they have won.
At the national palace the idea Of in
tervention is scoffed at and the sug.
gestion of a blockade is received with
skepticism. General Huerta himself
is credited with having said that
while reports might be taken easily,
it would be impossible for invaders
to get as far as the capital.

This omission of the prohibition

The fact that the United States, un-

language of the treaty that the Unit
