our mind, not only the beauty OF

EARLY ATTEMPTS AT PAINT
ING

Even before you began to go to
school, you probably did some
scratching with a lead pencil. You
did the best you could, and perhaps
you thought you were making very
good pictures. When you became
older, YOU were able to do better
and better. Possibly you at first
drew a man as if he were Just a

BIBLE IN MODERN SPEECH

We are indebted to the cour-
teSy OF Rev. DR.. VIM. J. Morton,
rector of Christ Church, Tor an
examination OF Modern Speech
New Testament 1t purports TO
be an "idiomatic translation into
everyday English, from the test
of the Resultant Greek Tesla
ment". The translation is made
by the editor OF the latter work,
the late Richard Francis Wcy-
mouth. formerly a Fellow OF Uni
yersity College, London, and
Headmaster of Mill Hill School.
We have examined same with
much interest, carefully compar-
ing its text with that ot the King
James version.
Ne are frank to say that we do
not approve OF any attempt 10

everyday English, or newspaper
English, or any other English,
save that which was unqueStion-
ably of divine inspiration and
which has hallowed the centuries
with its wondrouS dictiOn. Eng

Kiplng, bears the unmiStakable
impress OF the style and idlom OF
the Wicliffe Bible. Ii English lit
erature be the greatest the world
has produced, it is because the
English Bible is the greatest Bible
tha@ever carried the word OF God
to man. The Wiclitfe Bible is the
acknowledged progcnitor OF every
English version since. Vt the
time Wicliffe translated 1t the
language was still fluid and for
NATIVE, and the sublime thought
and transccndent spirituality OF
the Scriptures seized 1t and shaped
it and nodded it into 4 vehicle
worthy OF their Incompatible mes

beauty OF the language OF the BIZ
Bile, is we know it, can never be
equallcd. 1t has reached and
searched the very heart OF human
ity itself, and is at once the con-
ISOLATION and the inspiration OF
countless millions today. 1t is the
cornerstone of civilization and
upon it must be buildcd whatever
OF hope and cheer the future has
for the peoples OF this world.

medium by which thought makes

tant, then, that it should be 4 fit

for this that We lay SO much
stress ON an adequate translation

intimates that he ha, no ambition

he does say that some day the
