The Hebrew Bible

THE HOLY SCRIPT RES According m The
liza Tho IcSi,r Publication Scrie;y o. America
We may call this the Hebrew Ribl.
with double rertinence: Because it
consists of merely the Old Testament,
or the Jewish Scriptures: and because
the translation has been made by Jew
ish scholars. following after The fine
and faithful traditions of the Masor-
ties. Its appearance is, however. OF
scarcely less interest to Christians
than to Jews, and is certainly cause
for profound qualification on the part
of all sincere and intelligent Blble
students. In the translation of their
own sacred books, historical. legal and
doctrinal. Jewish scholars are obvt.
ously invested with peculiar authority
and are entitled TO the highest re-
spect.
Comparison of this text with that
Of other translations shows that II
approxmates closely the King James
version. In great part it is substan-
TALLY identical with it. In such famll-
Jar passages as the Decalogue, the
Twenty third and other Psalms, and
the great poems Of Job, Isaiah and Ec-
clesiastes. there are only the slight
est verbal changes. scarcely percept-
ible save TO the most critical reader.
Where there are changes of sense as
well as of form, they are generally
commendable. Thus. in the unequalled
Ninetieth Psalm, Thou turnest man
to destruction. and sayest: Return,
We children of men," has always
seemed inexplicabls to the average
Bible reader But when this new YER
sion gives it, Thou turnest man to
contrition,' the meaning is as clear
AS the sun. We must leave it for
Bible students themselves to search
out all the changes of significance,
the task to them as
profitable. and commencing this trans
iation as one which no thoughtful
student of the Scriptures can afford
TO be without.

Tanning Of a Shrew
A Brilliant Tour de Force of
Fashionable Society

SCANDAL A Novel BY Cosmo Hamilton With
illustrations by Richard Cutter. Emo. I'D. 3't
Little. Brown & Co.
We used to say that Shakespeare had
Mercutio killed so early in the play
because he was simply unable further
to keep the pace OF brilliant wit which
he had set; which OF course was really
not the case ut all. But on that sup
posititious principle VIC might wonder
how Mr.. Hamilton dared to attempt to
continue Beatrix .Vanderdyke all the
way through this book. For she sets
at the very beginning standard Of
briliance. of verve, and of altogether
irresistible fascination such as almost
any writer might we'll despair of main
tanning through more than a single
chapter. Yet once begun it had to be
maintained to the very last sentence,
since to abandon or TO abate it in the
least would have been a hopeless anti
climax, and to eliminate her in any way
would have been TO end the book.
II was a daring venture, but Mr..
Hamilton "made good" From first to
last there is never a decline, never a
wavering. never a false note in his por-
trayal of one OF the most luminous

Pirates of High Degree

Century Company.
The multitudes of Tribune readers
who have enjoyed Mrs. Miller's contri-
buttons TO our columns do not need to
be reminded of her possession OF
brilliance. wit, raillery. satire and a
keen analytical insight into human
nature and into the very heart o. our
social life. The present novel Is a
sparkling exposition of certain phases
OF fashionable New York life. especially
CT the matrimonial piracy Of couple
OF women. one already married and
the other not. There is much novelty
in the plot, there are some dell
ciously humorous scenes, and there Is
much brilliance OF conversational rep
artee. We should hate 20 regard the
two chief women characters as types,
vet unquestionably their sayings and
doinps might be found almost literally
DUPLICATED in real life. And in the tinal
scene there is grateful atonement for
all the open piracy and masked hypoc-
risy that have marked the development

Rock Lore and Words of Wisdom,
Classic, Medieval and Modern

crs of English have far too long been
denied access to the rich treasury of
dOnvet's intellectual and spiritual
wealth; so that it is a most welcome
achievement for Miss Redfeld to open
wide its doors. 1t is an achievement,
too, which she has performed with
singular sympathy and charm We
know of no English translation of
such French work as this which
Surpasses, If, indeed any rivals. hers
IN faithful presentation not merely
Of the technical meaning of the orig
inal but also of its very style and
spirit in their most subtle and elusive
moods and phases. When we say that
d'Olivet's is the most illuminating com
mentary ever written upon Pythsgora,,
and that Miss Redield has rendered il
into English as perfectly as d'Olivet
rendered the lines of Pythagoras into
French, we give a partial idea of the
value OF the volume with which our
literature has been endowed. To add
that the publishers have given the
precious work material setting
worthy of il. is to complete brief and
simple estimate Of work which might
without exceeding its deserts be eulo-
gized TO an extent rivalling the com
pass of it's own contents.

The unprecedented interest IN All

which forms one Of fourteen volumes
comprising the great Russians com

The Life" was written six years ago,

and its completeness and we'll digested
composition strikingly attest the sym
