brethren heard, and they acknowledge
ed the "grace that had been conferred
on him by the Lord" They babe him
lay aside his secular habit and enter
the monastic life, and from that day
! forward the Whitby cow-herd devoted
himself with enthusiasm to the task
that had been set him in the vision.
A quaint record of that day de-
clares: "Others after him strove to
compose religious poems, but none
could vie with him, for he learned not
the art of poetry from men, neither
of men, but of God"
In earnest, passionate words, which
yet remain, he sung for the simple
people, of the creation of the world,
of the origin of man, and of all the
history of Israel; of the incarnation,
the passion and the resurrection of
Christ, and His ascension; of the ter
rors of future judgment, the horrors of
hell pains and the joys of the Kingdom
of Heaven.
In an age when there was hardly
any other English literature, the Gag
erness with which Caedmon's phrases
were seized upon by the common peo-
pie and woven into the thought and
language of every day, laid much of
the foundation for the literary and re-
ligious triumphs of the Eenglish Rem
aissance.

Preparation For The English
Bible

DlDIG
Language is an evolution. Just what
principle or group of principles de-
termined the differences in language
which resulted in the confusion of
tongues, no man knoweth. However,
the trained philologist is able to group
certain languages and to discern
among them common traits or char
acteristics as to grammar and syntax,
also the common origin of many words.
In sister languages, like the English
and the German, words are often so
much alike as to be easily recog-
nized even by one not familiar with
one of them. The English bread, be-
comes in German, brodt, or again our
name for the deity is God, while the
name in German is Colt. Semitic Ian
guages display the same himilarities,
as do those of the Romance group,
such as French, Spanish and Italian.
Trough the first ten centuries of the
Christian era the rude languages of
Angle, Saxon, Dane and Jute, with a
commingling of Latin and Frankish
words, gradually merged into the
Anglo-Saxon of our ancestors, being
for many centuries only a spoken
tongue. The coming of Christianity
to England through missionaries sent
by Pope Gregory First, in the sixth
century, gave indirectly a tremen-
dous impetus to the growth of the
English language. Religion and poe
try have common genesis, the spirit
ual motive and the spiritual idea.
Though but little of the scriptures
could in the nature of the times be
communicated to the common people,
enough of it's exalted phrases found
Judgement in the popular conscious
ness to start the fires of creative
thinking and to keep them glowing un-
til a Chaucer, a Longland and Caed-
mon could be born.
Neither language nor music springs
into being full grown, as Minerva is
said to have done from the head of
Jove, Pipes 'opan gave forth only the
simple note of the gamut until the or
chestral harmonies of the aeolian harp
and the crashing diapason of old
ocean grew into natures symphony.
So the simple Anglo-Saxon at first
scarcely worthy to be called a Ian
guage, despised by the Franks and
neglected by the cultured, but yet the
language of the common people of
England, gradually grew into the
flexible and we'll nigh perfect instru-
ment of our day as it became the
vehicle of which inspired and holy
men gave expression to the spiritual
yearnings of their hearts. Whether in
prose of verse, the messages they
brought to the common pepole were
about the journey of life, the begin
ming of created things, or those heart
throbs of the Psalmist, which have
ever been the medium of consolation to
the sorrowful and hope and encour-
agement for the lowly and the lost.
AS in the beginning the histories
and parallels of holy writ were woven
into the freside tales of the people,
and became the themes of serf and
minstral until they were indissolubly
woven with the warp and wool of
English thinking, awaiting the coming
of a Bede, an Alfred, or a Wycliffe to
be crystallized in the literature and
life of one of the worlds greatest
peoples.

A Shifty Presidential Mind
F. D. Roosevelt as governor of New
York is not F. D. Roosevelt as presi-
dent of the United States. For in
stance the statement made by the
former gentleman: at was clear to
the trainers of our Constitution that
the greatest possible liberty of self
government must be given to each
state, and that any national admins
tration attempting to make all the
laws for the whole nation would even
tually result in the dissolution of the
Union ITSELF"
Some people fancied the country
would go to rack and ruin when the
Supreme Court killed the Blue Eagle,
but nothing of consequence has hap
pened. For nearly a hundred and

1t seems to be becoming more and
more apparent that the next political
campaign may go back to fundamen-
tails. We will have, of course, great
deal of discussion about the amount
expended by the government during
the past three years and how much
or how little good it has done. We
will hear also of the Democratic plat
form of 1882, and the Republicans
will charge that the New Dealers
have ignored practically all of it. The
New Dealers will seek to explain. We
will hear also about the banking and
unemployment situation.

At any rate, no matter whether we
break off diplomatic relations with
Russia or not, this alien communist
movement in America promises to be
a big issue in the campaign next
year. While both major parties may be
expected to declare against Red plot
ting against our government, the
question of Russian relations is very
likely to have an important influence
in the choice of candidates over the
country.
