HILLIONS of orthodox Chris
: V tians still think of the Bible
as a single book, every part
OF which is equally inspired, infalli-
tle and inerrant, and no portion
of which can contradict any other por-
tesn. This unfortunate inheritance
from the sixteenth century, which
makes it impossible for millions of
other people to find in it much else
than hopeless stumbling blocks, is the
result of complex historical process,
!. having no real basis in the documents
themselves Briefly summarized the
. most important stages are. the follow
8 ing:
The Founder of Christianity deliv-
cred His message verbally, in a pro-
/, vincial Semitic dialect known as Ara
? maic. which was understood by only
1 a small fraction of the human race.
/. Chiefly, in the first instance, through
8 the work of the converted rabbi, Paul,
the ideas of this message were trans
lated into the universal language Of
the empire, Greek; and it was as
! Greek speaking society that the
: church set out to convert the world.
. The twenty-seven Christian documents
: which at later time were gathered
into an authoritative or canonical col
lection were originally written in
{ Greek, and this tongue was for some
time the language of Christians as far
west as Rome.
How Stumbling Blocks
q Rise Before Bible Readers
: Originally the only "Bible" of the
s Christian society was the Jewish
. criptures-containing thirty nine doc
y uments as we reckon them-which
were inevitably taken over into the
new religion, inasmuch as all of
!. Christs first disciples were Jews.
These documents, originally written
III IlepicW, liu NY tuC oPCIiiiS VI lhS
= Christian era been translated into
Greek, through the labors of Jewish
scholars at Alexandria. and from this
translation they are usually quoted by
New Testament writer's. AS early as
the third century. however, Latin was
becoming a formidable rival to Greek
in the west. Some imperfect transla-
tons of the Jewish and Christian
Scriptures had already been made into
this language, but by the opening of
the fifth century there was imperative
need for a more accurate and official
version in this tongue. to which all
could appeal with confidence.
The task was intrusted to Jerome,
the greatest scholar of his day, and
was completed not many years before
his death in 420 A. ID. For the next
thousand years this version was the
only form of the Scriptures known to
the peoples of Europe. and it's influ-
ence in molding theological thought,
rot only in the Latin but in the re-
formed churches, cannot be exag-
6erated. AS a single lustration, prac-
tically all the theological terms of
every Western church come ultimately
from the Latin Bible or Vulgate of
Jerome.

He thought of an old saying among
the Syrians: Epiphany eve is very
holy. II you battle on that night your
body will become strong and beautiful.
II you Sa,Eub your hair on this night
holy sDa1ks viii fly and it will grow
long and shining" Surely Elizabeth
Maloof had observed these rites.
Haddad was an American. Eliza
beth still clung to the customs of her
country. She was puzzled and en-
barrassed when he told her he loved
her. In Syria getting engaged is a
ceremony involving two families and
a go-between. and getting married is
a pageant for the entertainment of
the whole village. Days of feasting
and professions and general rejoicing
.precede the event.
With difficulty Haddad explained
that hundred shouting Syrians in
boomers and fez parading down
Washington street would bring out
the Police Department. So Elizabeth
was married with tIlle and orange
blossoms in the approved American
style, and only the sonorous phrases
Of the Arabic ritual Of their own Ma
ronite Church recalled the customs Of
their native land.
The little lace store prospered and
has developed into an import business.

terranean and the China Sea on little

BETHLEHEM STEEL'S
BUSINESS BETTER
Increase of Orders in Second
Quarter, but Dividend Is
Not Fully Earned.

An increased volume of business at
gradually improving prices was taken by
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation during
the second quarter of this year. accord
ing to statement made yesterday after
noon after the regular quarterly direc-
tors meeting by Charles n. Schwab,
chairman.
The directors at their meeting declared
the usual quarterly dividends of u per
cent. on both classes Of common stock,
payable October 2 to holders of record
September Is. These dividends were not
fully earned.
The volume of orders booked during
the second quarter" Mr.. Schwab said,
was much in excess of the first quarter
and at gradually improving prices.
Prices prevailing during the first quarter
proved to be the lowest of the recent de-
preston. Early in the second quarter re-
vived demand for steel developed, neces-
stating rapid expansion Of operations.
which was accompanied by an increase
in cost due largely to the high cost Of
fuel occasioned by the coal strike.
THE corporations coal properties con-
tinued in operation during the quarter.
but difficulty of rail movement under
present conditions has made it impos-
sible to supply the corporations full
needs, necessitating some curtailment of
operations.
There has been an improvement In
inquiries for new ships and the corpora
ton has been able to secure some new
business in that department. There has
also been an increase in the amount OF
ship repair work. Our railroad passen-
ger car business shows much improved
condition, capacity being taken for some
months to come. The building of addi-
tiona1 open hearth steel capacity to serve
the plate, sheet and tin plate mills at the
Sparrows Point plant is being planned.
THE steel business for the remainder
of the year will be very much influenced
by the duration of the coal and railroad
strikes. There are large untitled orders
for steel with substantial additional ton
mage awaiting some assurance as to de-
liveries. Coupled with this there is a
more general recognition Of the neces-
sity for higher prices for steel products.
Dividend requirements were not earned
during the second quarter but the out
look for improved business Is encourag-
ing and the directors concluded that the
ability of the corporation to distribute
accumulated earnings from its cash re-
sources, due to the conservative dividend
policy during periods of larger earnings
warranted the payment of the present
dividend on the common stock

B. X. T. EARNINGS AGAIN
SHOW BIG INCREASE
June's Net IS Per Cent. OUer
That a Year Ago.

Another important expansion in earn
ings was shown by the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company in it's report for June
and for the twelve month period ended
with June. Net earnings for June after
all deductions for taxes. &C., were s272,-
036. which compares with s164 ,s57 in
the same month last year. an increase
OF more than 65 per cent. Operating
revenues for the month were s3.o17.256.
against s2.sSs,155 in June, 1921. and
gross income after taxes $1.01S,54s.
compared with s9x2,361.
In the twelve months ended with June
the company had net earnings after all
deductions of s3.087, ,419. as against a
deficit in the same period year ago of
$4s80,934. Operating revenues in
creased from s30.972,0s6 to $34,544. 093
and gross income after taxes from
$4317,765 to 1,953.041.
Although the diffC%~nce OF almost
sS.0o0,000 In its net for the twelve
months is not entirely due to increased
earnings. because part of last years
deficit was a reflection of the strike on
the system, 1t nevertheless indicates to
what an extent the company's position
has improved.
