An Entirely New New Testament
By REV. c. F. AKED, D. D.

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 brough, 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 10y GER
tain words, such as the awkward
get" and the ugly got Here
are dreadful specimens:

Him back for good" "ThrOa0h
Him zee hare got access to 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 gain in lucidity. No one
should give up a difficult passage
in the New Testament until DR..
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:

Certainly she could have done
nothing to secure her own peace
Of mind in keeping the other two
apart, and binding to her man
who would hate her more and
more for standing in the path of
his desire.
The only dignified and rational
way to deal with a recreant hus-
band is as this woman has done,
and as a Kansas woman did, who
went to her husbands affinity
and said to her. For $3.50 I'll
give you a quitclaim to John. It's
about $12.35 more than he's
worth, and / feel that I will be
cheating you in taking it, still if
you fancy him."--
OF course, the woman who
hangs on to man after he's
deadly weary of her and wants
to be rid Of her always claims
that she does so because she be-
lieves she can win back his love.
No woman in the world is fool
ish enough to really believe this
She knows that of all dead things
nothing Is so absolutely dead as
dead love. For it there is no res
direction day.
Once the charm and illusion
that a woman has had for a man
is gone, it can never be conjured
up again, any more than you can
turn the shattered rose back into
a bud again.
1t is, of course, very, very sad
when a husband ceases to love
his wife, but when it happens she
can not alter the catastrophe by
hanging on to him. She only
makes a bad matter worse by so
doing, and she can save her face,

under obligation 10 no church or
society or committee. He Is in
dependent of other minds except
as the greatest scholars and
thinkers build upon the labors of
earlier generations.
He has sought to translate the
New Testament into the language
of our day He is not the first 10
do this. The Twentieth Century
New Testament came into ex-
istence with the avowed object OF
speaking colloquial English. DR..
Weymouth's admirable transla-
ton, The New Testament in
Modern Speech" finely bears out
the purpose set forth in its title.
DR.. Moffatt says OF his own work:
Il have attempted to translate the
New Testament exactly as one
would render any piece OF CON
temporary Hellenistic prose" He
knows that TO do this is TO chal-
lenge in every line the ryhthm
and diction OF an English classic"
and to irritate many to whom the
very sound OF Bible phrases is A
sacred thing. But he believes
that the work is worth doing. He
is right.
1t is perfectly true that such q
translation Is heavily handi-
capped in competition with the
stately splendor of the Bible Ian
guage we know so we'll. But the
fact is that We are so familiar
with it that out Of familiarity
have been bred fogs of deadly
dullness. A British scholar, writ
ing before DR.. Moffatt's volume
appeared, said very truly that
these unofficial transla tons"
have at least this value, they
shock the reader out of that
deadening familiarity which is
one Of the worst enemies TO ap-

TINE art Of weighing has ex-
banded into a comprehen-
siye science and can no
longer be called a mere art.
Scales are made of metal but
the set herein describe is not
made of anything. Scales are In
hourly use that can weigh a pen
cil-mark whose length is one
fourth of an inch; or a section
of hair of equal length. The
usual practice in weighing runs
from grains, ounces, pounds up
to tons. usually1one ton, and then
up to fifty or more tons in rail
road weighing, costing hundreds
and thousands of dollars.
Elementary Laws.
But humans would find it quite
difficult to make scales that
would weight millions, billions,
trillions, quadrillions, quintillions.
sextillions, septillions, octillions
and nonillions of toLs, or decil
lions. An instrument able to
weigh a decillion tons can now
be purchase for one cent-a pen
ell. The scales are not made of
metal; instead, a Sc. and fixed
specific speed is the next to all
powerful engine used. But it is
far more easy to run 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.

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
riage she, at least. saved her self
respect as woman.
Her husbands love was gone.
and she let him go with it. She
was too fine and too proud to
keep the body after the soul of
love had fed, She refused to
hold by the chain of the law the
husband who had wearied Of her,
who found her society bore, and
who loathed the very thought of
her as wife.
She knew that he felt this way
toward her. and that everything
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
a 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 10 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

 Plew was hanged on March and Mrs. Wakefield had been sentenced by Judge Lucien F. Burpee to die at the same time, but the appeal acted us a stay of execution. She was taken from the death house at the state prison to the county jail at New Haven to await her trial within few days.
