Making Organdy Flowers A pretty
novelty for the sumner dress Is the
organdy flower. The best quality of
organdy should be used in making
flowers because it holds its shape
better. Light and dark colors COM
bine nicely in a pretty corsage. Aza-
lea Liniield, extension specialist in
clothing, gives a csc directions for
making the organdy apple blossom:
Cut the organdy on the bias, and
before any patterns are cut, the top
edge must be rolled between the tumD
aud tigers, il rolled correctly the raw
edge will not show and the rolled
edge viii keep its shape. Cut a strip
of oTgandy one inch wide, 10 inches
long after rolling edge. Measure TIVE
inches along rolled edge and stick =
pin: measure two inches o n
two inches again until you have placed
tour pins. Gather with needle and
thread from top edge to base and then
up To the pin. Draw up the five pet
ais and sew them together at the
hack. Tie with wire and leave some
material for stem. A few stamens
may BE sewed to the center or French
knots may be worked"

And he said, God be gracious unto
thee, my son.
"And Joseph made haste; for his
bowels did yearn upon his brother;
and he sought where to weep; and he
entered into his chamber, and wept
there"
The whole of the forty-ffth chapter
is touching and beautiful beyond all
criticism, transcending all art. To
read it is to believe every word of it
to be true, and to recognize the SUBJ
Unity of such a relation.
No narrative of the great Greek
writer's reaches the heart so directly
and poignantly as does this astonish-
ing story. 1t moves swiftly and sure
ly along from incident to incident till
Joseph's loving soul can contain itself
no more:
''Then Joseph could not refrain
himself before all of them that stood
by him; and he cried, Cause every
man to go out from me.
"And there stood no man with him,
while Joseph made himself known unto
his brethren.
"And he wept aloud; and the Egyp.
tains and the house of Pharaoh heard.
"And Joseph said unto his brethren,
/ am Joseph; doth my father yet live !?
"And he fell upon his brother Ben
jamin's neck and wept; and Benjamin
wept upon his neck. Moreover he
kissed all his brethren and wept upon
them.
"And after that his brethren talked
with him." And this wonderful chap.

Repent We: for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand"
This is mauled into:
Repent, he said, for the kingdom
of the heavens is now close at hand"
These examples are perfectly suited
to illustrate the immense difference
that separates what is noble and fine
in style and what is poor and third
rate.
If you recite the old version aloud
you cannot escape the harmony and
balance of the sentences, and nothing
dignified or distinguished can be made
of the wretched paraprases of the two
decorators of the splendid old text.
And, Anthony, l would have you
know that /, who have spent a long
life in precious Libraries, loving fine
literature with all my heart, have long
ago reverenced the old version of the
Bible as the granite cornerstone upon
which has been built all the noblest
English in the world. No narrative
in literature has yet surpassed in
majesty, simplicity, and passion the
story of Joseph and his brethren, be-
ginning at the thirty-seventh and end
ing with the forty-fifth chapter of
Genesis. There is surely nothing
more moving and lovely in all the
books in the British museum than the
picture of Joseph when he sees his
little brother among his brethren:
"And he lifted up his eyes, and saw
his brother BENJAMIN, his mothers
son. and said, Is this your younger
brother, of whom We spake to me

On the Glory of
the Old Bible
From "The Glory of English Prose"

From ''The Glory of English Prose"
by Stephen Coleridge (Putnam).
alluded, in my first letter to you
about English literature, to the neces-
sity of your learning from the begin
ming the wide distinction between
what is good and what is bad style
do not know better instance Of a
display of the difference between what
is fine style and what is not, than may
be made by putting side by side al
most any sentence from the old au-
tborized translation of the Bible and
the same sentence from the Bible in
Modern Speech.
will just put two quotations side
by side:
Consider the lilies of the field, how
they grow; they toll not, neither do
they spin: and yet l say unto you,
That even Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these"
Learn a lesson from the wild lilies.
Watch their growth. They neither
toll nor spin, and yet tell you that
not even Solomon in -ali his magnific-
ence could array himself like one of
these"
Here you can feel the perfect
harmony and balance of the old ver-
sion and the miserable commonplace
ness of the effort of these misguided
modern men.
Again:
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1923-02-07

ter ends thus:
"And they went up out of Egypt,
and came unto the land of Canaan unto
Jacob their father, and told him, say
ing, Joseph is yet alive, and is COVER
nor over all the land of Egypt.
"And Jacobs heart tainted, for he
believed them not.
'And they told him all the words of
Joseph, which he had said unto them;
and when he saw the wagons which
Joseph had sent to carry him, the
spifft of Jacob, their, father, revived.
"And Israel said, 1t is enough;
Joseph my son is yet alive; / will go
and see him before l die
If you read the story of Joseph
through from start to finish, you will
see that it is perfect narrative of the
life of man without fault who suf-
fered much but without resentment,
was great of heart in evil days, and,
when fortune placed him in a position
of glory and greatness, showed a stain
less magnanimity and brotherly love
that nothing could abate 1t is the
first and most perfect story in litera-
ture of the nobility of mans soul, and
as such it must remain a treasured
and priceless possession to the worlds
end.
In the short Book of Ruth there lies
embalmed in the finest English very
tender love story, set in all the sweet
surroundings of the ripening corn, the
gathered harvest, and the humble
cleaners. Nothing can be more de-
lightful than the direction of Boaz,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1923-02-07

the great landowner, to his men, at
ter he had espied Ruth In her beauty
cleaning in his fields:
! "And when she was risen up to
CLEAN, Boaz commanded his young
men, saying: Let her CLEAN even
among the sheaves, and reproach hef
not:
"And let fall also some of the hand
fuls on purpose for her, and Leave
them, that she may CLEAN them, and
rebuke her not"
This little gem in the books of the
Bible inspired Hood to write one OF
his most perfect lyrics:
She stood breast high amid
the corn
Clasped by the golden light
of morn,
Like the sweetheart of the
sun.
Who many glowing kiss had
won.
Thus she stood amid the
stocks,
Fraising God with sweetest
looks.
Sure, l said, heaven did not
mean
Were | reap thou should'st
but CLEAN;
Lay thy leaf adown and come
Share my harvest and my
home
That the Bible was translated into
English at the time when the language
was spoken and written in its most
noble form, by men whose style has
never been surpassed in strength COM
bined with simplicity, has been a
priceless blessing to the English
speaking race The land of its birth,
once flowing with milk and honey, has
been for long centuries a place OF
barren rocks and arid deserts. Per
slams and Greeks and Romans and
Turks have successfully swept over it;
the descendants of those who at differ
ent times produced its different books
are scattered to the ends of the earth;
but the English translation has for
long years been the head cornerstone
in homes innumerable as the sands of
the sea in number.
No upheavals of the earth, no fire,
pestilence, famine, or slaughter can
ever new blot it out from the ken of
men.
When all else is lost we may be sure
that the old English version of the
Bible will survive Heaven and earth
shall pass away, but my words shall
not pass away"
Do not think it enough, therefore,
Antony, to hear it read badly and
without intelligence or emotion, in lit
tie detached snippets, in church once
a week.
Read it for yourself and learn to re-
joice in the perfect balance, harmony
and strength of its noble style.
