FOXY GRANDPA'S STORY

"As soon as the queen-bee lays
an egg in a cell, the workers
quickly put in with the egg
kind Of jelly, which is made OF
honey, mixed with the pollen Of
flowers"
Yum, YUM" grunted Bobby,
rubbing his tummy and smack
ing his little red lips.
ION the fourth day after the
egg is laid the little grub makes
it's appearance" l went on.
And eats the jelly?" asked
Bobby.
Exactly. 1 replied. And as
soon as it has eaten all of the
jelly the workers bring it some
e-bread. which is pollen pressed
firmly together"
Personally, I like the bread
and jelly together suggested
Bobby.
But you're not bee, Bobby"
1 laughed, "even If your name
does start with one."
"In about seven days the grub
is full grown. Then the workers
cover it up tight and warm in
its cell by covering it with
WaXen lid.
Then the little grub starts
work. 1t spins cocoon. Be
fore you know it, it is pupa or
chrysalis."

This James C158e1e25) was the son
Of Lord Darnley and Mary Queen OF

OF Scotland and In 1908 succeeded
Queen Elizabeth as James I. king of
England, Scotland and Ireland. He
was said by his contemporaries to be
the "wlsest fool In Europe"
The King James version ls by no
means the first English Bible. That
honor probably belongs to a manu-
script translation Of about 1880 by
John Wycllne, the famous preacher,
from the Latin Vulgute. Incident
ally, It Is Of interest to note that in
his preface wycliffe wrote, THE Bible
is for the government OF the people,
by the people and for the people
which Is suggestiveiy similar to LIN
coins famous utteranoe In his Gettys-
burg Address. How many manu-
script copies OF Wycliffe's translation
were made is not known; eight OF his
time are still In existence. 1t is
known. however, that these manu-.
script copies were In semi-secret cir
in England down to the end
of the Fifteenth century.
Now we come to the first complete
English Bible. the title page OF which |
Is herewith reproduced. It's date is
MDXXxv-1535--as the fac smile
shows. 1t was not a translation from

from the "Douche and Latyn." as the
title page sets forth. The names OF
and printer are not set

feet copy is known to be extant.
Much of the lettering OF the Illus
trations can be read. The upside
down scroll In connection with Adam
and Eve and the serpent IN the Garden
OF Eden reads:
In what daye so ever thou eatesI
thereof thou shalt dye"
Note the wv" which Is used for wv, "

A significant piece OF decoration on
this title page Is that at the bottom
between the tive scrolls. It quite
evidently represents King Henry VIII.
to whom the translation was dedi-
Gated by Myles Coverdale. presenting
this first complete English Bible to
church and civil dignitaries. Henry

its famous motto This Is the high
