WAS HARD ON TRANSLATOR
Has 20 Find Words When There
Aren't Any.

Bishop Steerc who was himself a
great missionary translator. said
our work must be all unscund with
cat vernacular bible" In trans
latiEC the bible into the Hottontot
tongue IT was necessary to change
Jesus to Jesub because IN Hottcrtot
a word ending in "s" signifies the
female, and the word must end in
"b' to indicate the male sex. Rev
erend Lind, in tran7lating the bible
Into the Marcia tongue in India,
found IT necessary 10 resort to all
kinds of devices to obtain from the
Mardlas the names of different OBJ
Jccts. He SAYS. "I grunted like a
pig. Quacked Ike n duck, ncighed like
a horse. howled like a jack al and had
to exercise all my artistic abilities in
drawing various kinds Of animals,
birds and insects" In the Nupe Ian
Guage of Africa there was no word for
soul. The word had to be trans
lated life; and for conscience" the
nearest equivalent was stomach. In
translating the bible for the Bemba
tribe in northern Rhodesia no terms
could be found that would convey the
"hCly". But the word redemption"
had an exact counterpart in the
Bemba language. because slavery is
a part of their life and no slave is set
free until redeemed by some pay
ment.

The northSide residents Of Chicago

"THE WORED'S CONVERSION"
Conditions Which, it is Believed
Will Prevail at the Second Advent

EVANGELIST Gibson used the words
at the head of this article as basis
for his remarks at the gospel tent
last night. Among other things he
said:
"Jesus Christ said as it was in the
davs of Noah, so shall it be in the
davs of the coming of the Son of Man.
The antediluvians would not believe
the gospel delivered through Noah,
and. as result, all save the patri-
arch and his family perished. So
shall it be when the Son Of God shall
come the second time without sin
ii e., without a sin offering). The
people are not willing now to he"
the gospel of Jesus Christ. nor are
they willing to live it. Only few
out of all the people on the earth
Will be watching for the return OF
the Bridegroom. "ss
The subject for the discourse to-
| night will be "The Book of the
Revelation" lAll are welcome to the
meetings.
