BY William T. Ellis.

The tourist who visits Bethlehem will
be shown the cave, under the same roof
as the srotto in which the Saviour was
born. where Jerome translated the bible
into the Nulgate. He wanted to get as
close AS possible TO the Life In rendering
the Book. The gospel takes its rise in the
birth OF Christ, There is significance in
this incident OF the ancient saint and
scholar. who made the translation of the
bible into Latin which endures To this
day. getting near to the manager for his
labors. The best bible work is that which
Keeps closest to Christ.
Approximately go languages and dia-
lects have had the bible translated into
their speech. There is no important ma
ton on earth today which may not read
the Word of God in it's native tongue.
Many peoples have been given the bible as
their first literature. they had no written
speech until the bible translators. with in
finite pains, reduced their tongue to ,,aper.
The greatest literary achievement In hii-
mar annals has been the giving of the
bible to the whole mankind, In the speech
to which each nation Was born. This has
also been the greatest single work of mis-
stons.
Whenever 4 make any decision / ask
myself what the bible would teach me TO
do in that particular case. Ii is to me a
fountain from which / draw light and
strength. and in hours of sorrow and de-
preston I seek consolation therein.-Em-

Martin Luther used to teach his chill
