While the vivid metaphor Of
the Christians armor grows more
vivid in:

belt Of truth about y0m loins.

Once DIR. Moffatts weakness
becomes a strength. His news

its vigor:
BE angry, but do not sin;
nerer let the sun set upon your
transportation; gipe the dern no

ne bcSl OIL all Is lUe 1T5nSld-
ton of Paul's famous hymn of
love, itself the greatest miracle
of Christianity. There is hardly
line in Dr. Moffatt's version
which is not new. Every phrase
is a new text for the preacher, a
new, imperishable idea for us all.
Here is a lovely account of the
exploits of love:

Shocks" the reader of the
new" New Testament will GER
tainly experience. From this
point of view DR. Moffatt's work
is full of faults. The gains in
his version are enormous. The
failures are innumerable. On the
same page are found changes
which make one cry out with sur
prise and delight and gratitude
and changes which make one
gnash his teeth. There are fine
passages which rank as litera-
ture, even when brought side by
side with the authorized version.
There are passages which make
one wonder what DR.. Moffatt has
done with his literary sense, with
his feeling for words, and with
his good taste.
DR.. Moffatt is obsessed by GER
tain words, such as the awkward
get and the ugly got" Here
are dreadful specimens:
'Then Jerusalem iccnt
ont to Him and got baptized by
HIM" "TheH Jesus came on the
scene from GGlilee, to get bdp-
tized by John" II need TO gct
bdptised by yOu." "PerhGps this
4Cds irhU vou aud He toere parted
for a ichjle, that pou might get
Him back for good" ''T'brough
Him ice hare got access 10 this
grace"
This is not literary English. 1t
is not good newspaper" English
1t is impossible not to regard
some passages as too free and
easy.
But there is much that is en-
tirely noble in the translation.
Sometimes the gain is in strength,
sometimes in marvellous fresh
ness and suggestion, always there
is a gain in lucidity. No one
should give up a difficult passage
in the New Testament until Or
Moffatt has been consulted. The
probability is that in his trans
lation the difficulty explains itself.
Here are some good examples
of added intelligibility and
strength:

1t is most encouraging to read
OF cases like these of the New
Jersey and Kansas wives. becauso
it indicates that women are ..
last beginning to show common
sense instead of hysteria in sen.
timental matters and to discover
that life has a few other things
besides love in it.
The enlightened attitude IN
ward love which men have al
ways held is being slowly but
surely accepted by women. This
is that, while love is the orna-
ment of existence, it is by m
means the whole shooting match
Up to our grandmother's time if
was the proper thing for a young
maiden who had been disappoint-
ed in love to pine away and die Of
broken heart, or, if she han
pened to have too strong a. con-
stitution for even morbid senti.
ment to kill her, to go through
the world with the sad, sweet
smile of blighted being.
But you never hear of anv.

these days, and instead of being

In our mothers time it was es-
teemed absolutely necessary to
woman's happiness for her to he
loved, and in consequence the old
maids who had been passed over
by Cupid were pitied as bank
rupts in life. Now, while we still
recognize that love is the crown
of existence, we know that
woman may be exceedingly hap
py and jolly and comfortable
without it, and so nobody is vast
ing any tears on spinsters.

This Woman Deserves a
Monument in Her
Honor.
Honor.

/ think that this woman de-
serves to have a monument built
in her honor for having set a fine
example for other women in a
similar plight to follow, for in the
great crisis of her life she dis
played not only courage, but san
ity.
Out of the wreck of her mar
rage she. at least, saved her self
respect as woman.
Her husbands love was gone,
and she let him go with 1t. She
was too fine and too proud to
keep the body after the soul of
love had fled. She refused to
hold by the chain of the law the
husband who had wearied of her,
who found her society a bore. and
who loathed the very thought of
her as wife.
She knew that he felt this way
toward her, and that every thing
that made their marriage holy
and right had vanished, and SO
with her own hand she opened the
door of the home that had become
hated prison house to him. and
let him go his way in peace.
There were the three of them
all miserable-the woman her
husband loved, and who loved
him: her husband loving another
woman, and tied to her; and she
still loving the man who loved her
no longer.
1t was in her power to make
two of the three happy, and she
did it, and, perhaps, in so doing
did the best thing she could to
secure her own happiness, since
happiness is so often found in I'M
selfshness.

Many a Wife Would b
Willing to Give Her
Husband AWAY.

Up to this present moment
there has been a tradition that no
matter how lazy, and trihing, and
drunken, and disagreeable hus-
band was, If he deserted his wife
she should bemoan her lot in
sackcloth and ashes, instead of
getting up and rejoicing that she
was rid of a loafer that she had
to support or a brute that beat
her.
The truth is that many a wife,
instead of being broken hearted
at losing a husband, would be
perfectly willing to hand him over
to any other woman that would
take him. Hence, perhaps, the
philosophy with which the wife Of
the recreant husband meets his
sidestepping.

Wonderful Machine.

Then Atwood invented his
machine and this finally came to
some near approach to accuracy.
But this instrument of precision
fell far short of the electrical
chronographic apparatus. When
all of this very complex mech
anism Is in perfect order it re-
leases the ball at the exact begin

repeats the process at the abso-
lutte end of the second SO far as
human hands are able to do rig
idly accurate work.

Praise for Her Sanity

n MAN in another State grew
~ tired of his wife and fell in
love with another woman,
whom he wanted to marry. In
stead of lying to his wife, and de-
ceiVing her, and INDUCING in a
clandestine romance with the 9TH
er woman, the man went frankly
TO his wife and told her all about
1t.
1t was an unfortunate and trag-
ical state of affairs, but the wife
had the good sense, the good
taste and the good judgment to
meet it in a noble and dignified
manner.
She simply eliminated herself.
She permitted her husband to
go to Reno and get a divorce on
technical grounds without any
scandal, or mud throwing. or any
dirty family linen being washed
in public to shame and humiliate
her children whenever their IA
Tiers name was mentioned, and
to be a lasting disgrace to them.

Elementary Laws.

But humans would find 1t quite
difficult to make scales that
would weight millions, billions,
trillions, quadrillions, quintillions,
sextillions, septillions, octillions
and nonillions of tolls, or decil-
lions. An instrument able to
weigh a decillion tons can now
be purchased for one cent-a pen
ell. The scales are not made of
metal; instead, a set and fixed
specific speed is the next to all
powerful engine used. But it is
far more easy to run a locomo-
tive or steamship without know
ing a single law OF these COM
pick machines than to even at
tempt to use the speed scales
without knowing every minute
detail of every velocity law of
moving bodies.
Let a street car start from rest
and keep moving faster and fas-
ter until its rate of motion is,
say, twenty miles per hour at the
end of one minute. If the speed
of the car increased uniformly
during the entire minute its aver
age speed is ten miles per hour,
because it started from rest and
increased to twenty miles per
hour. If a body moves during
one minute at 'wenty miles per
hour the distance traversed will
be speed multiplied by time, or
twenty miles multiplied by one
siXtieth of an hour, or one-third

in case of the car is ten miles
