 The year 1911 was observed by the Bible societies Of the English speak ing world as the 30eth anniversary of the appearances of the epoch making Book.
 The King James version (1e14) was a triumph for William Tyndale, the martyr translator of the early 18th century. His prescribed version was the basis on which the reyisers of King James did their work. The revised version made in the latter part of the 18th century carried Tyndaie's work to a further triumph in the fact that eight-nintf1s of the words used in the authorized version appear in the re- vised version.
 The first printed copy of the revised New Testament by the British and American revisers of the authorized first printed copy of the entire re- vised Bible appeared on May 19. 1885, the final result of six laborious re- yisions-Jtwo in America and four in London

EXCELLENT TRAIT is CAUTION
Better to Be Sure Before You Move
Than to Have Occasion for
Vain Regrets.

Caution is the parent of safety. 1t is
better to use caution In time than re-
grets too late. 1t is better to give the
mind some exercise in consideration
before beginning a new thing. remarks
the Milwaukee Journal. II is wise to
make friends slowly. Some people like
to boast Of being so impulsive," and
think that this should be an acceptable
excuse for many failings. Impulse Is
often good thing. but Il needs u long
course of careful training before 1t
can be safely INDUCED. First impress
sions are often deceivlng. One may
not at first be attractive In appear
ance, but on further acquaintance,
prove to be admirable In character.
Those who are impulslve In making
professions Of friendship are not en-
tirely to be depended on to be perma-
nent or reliable. In giving way to a
strong liking or aversion one often
does injustice. Acquaintance is quite
as likely to show admirable as unllk-
able qualities. Often an aversion has
been changed to deep and true
friendship. And. on the other hand,
some who appear admirable on first
meeting prove otherwise. Do not
judge hastily on the impulse Of mo-
ment. Acts done on the impulse Of
the moment may cause repentance for
many year.

A book entitled Coke of Norfolk

The shortest speech on record at the

Suddenly Coke noticed what was going
on and lnterfered.
Il see" he said, that good fellow
has something to say to us. Pray let

The man, thus encouraged, rose
triumphantly to his feet and hammered
on the table. Profound silence at once
relgned through the room, and he de-
