The proudest day in old Farmer
Giles life had dawned. Dressed in
his Sunday best. he took the train to
Portsmouth to visit his sailor son.
And. although the tram journey
was his first, its excitements paled
before the visions Of the huge iloat-

Timidly he approached the side Of

which had his son on beard, and, as
he took hold of the hanging ropes to
assist himself on deck, he was more
than surprised to hear q dreadful

This clamor was merely the sound
Ing Of eight bells to denote the time
Of day, but old Farmer Giles, seeing
an officer In the distance, waddled
up and accosted him, remarking apol-

BIBLE AS LITERATURE.

London Chronicle: Sir Arthur
QuilleF Couch, in his address on the
English Bible at Cambridge, rightly
laid stress on the priceless value Of
the authorized version as the great
est book on English prose No one
will dispute its title to that pre-emi-
nence. What a marvel 1t is that this
matchless translation, with its noble
majesty its glorious, poetry, its di.
vine simplicity, It's ecstasy, ITS pathos,
its tenderness, every chapter instinct
with beauty, every verse ringing like
a sweet toned bell, should have been
produced by forty-seven men, none Of
them as 20" reminds us, celebrated
outside their share in the translation,
for any superlative achievement.
Some persons who set courses of
study in English literature omit to
take account of the Bible. 1t is an
amazing omission, for the authorized
version has had incomparably more
influence on English literary style
and on English speech than any other
book, or than al other books put to-
gether. Taine, that discriminating
and sympathetic critic, realized how
the style Of the Bible had, so to say,
inwrought itself into the life Of Eng
land, and interwoyen itself into the
very texture OF English literature.

and In Gibbon. Taine writes admir-

phors; Ruskin, we know, from his own
words, found in the Bible the basis
Of his enhancing style; the secret OF
John Bright's noble oratory is to be
found in his habitual study of the one
