for Oglethorpe University.
In the city of Gaona Sunday last Dr. Jacobs made

to contribute $1,000 to oglethorpe.
And in swift the Prebyerans in that congre

This contribution made by Gastona right the heels
of having built $4,000 addition to their church. installed

The fact that made right under the shadow David

North Carolina Pesbyerans but indicates the prompt oncep

other Presbyterian College and the wider scope the great fin

become the capone of Presbyterian education throughout the
Southern country.
Oglehorpe is fortunate indeed in having eloquent

history and the descendant of the greatest Presbyterian
preacher of the century doing splendid work in building
what certain to be the greatest Presbyterian College south of
Princeton.
The Presbyteans of Gastonia predict that North Carolina
will contribute 100000 to Oglehorpe University and that its

its vigor:

The best Of all Is the transla-
ton OF PauIs famous hymn Of
love, itself the greatest miracle
of Christianity. There is hardly
a line in DIR. Moffatt's version
which is not new. Every phrase
is a new text for the preacher,
new, imperishable idea for us all.
Here is q. lovely account OF the
exploits of love:

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 by GER
tain words. such as the awkward
get and the ugly got" Here
are dreadful specimens:
Then Jerusalem aoent
out to Him and got baptized by
Him" Then Jesus came on the
scene from Gdlilee, to get bGp-

This is not literary English. 1t
Is not good newspaper" English.
1t is impossible not 10 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 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 a man
who would hate her more and
more for standing in the path of
his desire.
The only dignifled 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 s12.35 more thar he's
worth, and l feel that l will be
cheating you in taking it, still II
you fancy him!"-
OF course, the woman who
hangs on to a man after he's
deadly weary Of her and wants
to be rid of her always claims
that she does so because she be-
Iieves 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 man
is gone, 1t can never be conjured
up again, any more than you can
turn the shattered rose back into
a bud again.
II Is, of course, very, very sad
when a husband ceases to love
his wife, but when 1t happens she
can not alter tho catastrophe by
hanging on to him. She only
makes q bad matter worse by 80
doing, and she can save her face,

w THEN all is said and done.
" the Bible remains the
newest and most inter
estfng volume in all the litera-
ture of the world. Its truths are
older than protoplasm, yet its
thoughts are forever fresh with
the freshness of the morning. And
new" New Testament Is an
event.
The latest is published by Hold
d.. & Stoughton, of New York
and London. From the mechan-
zeal point of view it is perfect.
The new" Testament is en-
tirely new. 1t is the work of an
oxford scholar, DIR. James Moi
fatt, famous In all the Christian
world. 1t is his own work. He is
under obligation to 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 to
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:
81 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 Ito chal-
lenge in every line the ryhthm
and dictlon Of an English classic"
and to irritate many to whom the
very sound of Bible phrases is
sacred thing. But he believes
that the work is worth doing. He
is right.
1t is perfectly true that such a
translation is heavily handi-
capped in competition with the
stately splendor of the Bible Ian
guage we know so well. But the
fact is that we are so familiar
with II that out of familiarity
have been bred fogs of deadly
dullness. A British scholar, writ
ing before Or. Moffatt's volume
appeared, said very truly that
these unofficial TRANSACTIONS
have at least this value, they
shock the reader out of that
deadenlng familiarity which is
one OF the worst enemies to ap-
probation Of the Bible"

The truth is that many wife.

TINE art Of weighing has ex-
banded into a comprehen-
sive 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 PEN
cil-mark whose length Is one
fourth of an inch; or a section
of a hair of equal length. The
usual practice in weighing runs
. from grains, ounces, pounds up
to tons, usually one ton, and then
up to fifty or more tons in rail-
road weighing, costing hundreds
and thousands of dollars.
Elementary Laws.
But humans you'd find It quite
difficult to make scales that
would weight millions, billions
trillions, quadrillions, quintillions,
sextillions, septillions, octillions
and nonillions of tol.s 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 ST. 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.
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. II the speed
of the car increased uniformly
during the entire minute its aver
age speed is ten miles per hour,

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 huniiiiate
her children whenever their ia
theirs name was mentioned, and
to be lasting disgrace to them.
This Woman Deserves a
Monument in Her
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 tho
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
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 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 1t, 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
selfishness.
