Bede and His Gospel of John


Bede, often called the Venerable
Bede, was actually the contemporary
of Caedmon's latter years. He was
also the contemporary of the learned
Eadhelm, bishop of Sherborne, who
translated the Psalms of David into
Anglo-Saxon early in the eighth cen
tury at Glastonbury Abbey. About
the same time Bishop Egbert of Lind
esfarne, completed a version Of the
Gospels, of which a copy is still pre-
served in the British Museum. Bede
owned his erudition to the library
with which his tutor, Benedict Biscop,
had enriched the Monastery of Jar
row, where Bede's blameless and labor
ious life was chiefly spent. He proba
bly, stood alone among his country
men for his knowledge of Greek and
Hebrew, and the extent of his ac-
quaintance with the Latin classics. He
wrote entirely in Latin, except for a
translation of the Gospel of st. John,
left unfinished, and unfortunately
lost.
1t is probable that this translation of
st. John has long remained one Of
the richest treasures Of the monastery
library, where monks and scribes had
ready access to it, and culled from its
pages texts for their sermons to the
unlettered masses, whose minds re-
tanned what they heard far more accu-
rately than the minds of educated
folk sometimes retain what they
read.
The last hours of Bede on earth
were given to this task of translation.
1t was a calm, peaceful evening in the
spring of 735 A. D., the evening of
Ascension Day, and in his quiet cell in
the Monastery Of Jarrow, the aged
monk lay dying. With labored utter
ance he tried to dictate to his scribe,
while a group of fair-haired Saxon
youths stood sorrowfully by, with
tears, beseeching their Dear Master"
to rest. Cuthwin tells of what hap
pened that Ascension Day: "Our
Father and Master, whom God loved,
had translated the Gospel of John
as far as What are these among so
many He began to suffer much in his
breath, and a swelling came in his
feet, but he went on debating to his
scribe. Go on quickly he said, 4
know not how long 1 shall hold out,
or how soon my Master will call me
hence There remains but one chap
ter, Master said the anxious scribe,
but it seems very hard for you to
speak Nay, it is easy Bede replied.
Take thy pen and write quickly Amid
binding tears the young scribe wrote
on. And now, father said he, as he
eagerly caught the last words from
his quivering lips, only one sentence
remains Bede dictated it. 1t is fin
ished, Master! cried the youth, rails
ing his head as the last word was
written down. 'Ah, it is finished
echoed the dying saint Lift me up;
place me at that window of my cell
where I have so often prayed to God.
Now glory be to the Father, and to
the Son, and to the Holy Ghost! And
with these words the beautiful spirit
passed to the presence of the Eternal
Trinity.

NO POLITICAL PULL THERE

man who twenty-eight years ago started work
sweeping New York City streets with broom for
25 cents an hour has just been promoted to the
position of superintendent of the uniformed sweep
ers, at salary of $4,000 year.
There are some kinds of work which we think of
as "blind alley" jobs, in which one has no chance
of getting ahead to anything worth while, either
IN accomplishment or in remuneration.
The white wing street cleaner in New York
presumably held such job.
But here is who used this supposed "blind
alley as the road to position of responsibility
and more than average comfortable salary.
Is there, after ALL any sort of job in which a
man may not perform the quality of labor and
service which will be likely to gain recognition and
which may win promotion and satisfying reward?
There is, however, something in doing a good
job, simply for the jobs sake.
And it wouldn't be at all surprising if the new
superintendent in New York simply set out twenty
eight years ago to be good street sweeper, simply
because he liked to do the very best sort of job
possible to be done in whatever he undertook

THE SMALL STORES

Pessimists have long predicted the gradual ex-
tincton of the small stores and their absorption by
the national chains. One observer of the trend to-
ward the dominance of combinations of capital in
the retail trade wrote:
1T is NOT pleasant to the small merchant to be
dragged behind the counter as a salaried employee;
little spoke in big Wheel
But it happens that this doleful prediction is not
OF recent origin. 1t was written and published in
the Springfield Republican in 1850 years ago.
At that time the big department stores were just
getting underway. Since then we have seen added
menaces to the small retailer in the form of mail
order houses and chain stores. Yet thousands Of
small town stores have survived, many of them
becoming big stores Naturally those which have
succeeded are the. ones which have kept abreast
OF the times, adopting new methods ar! policies as

presented by the larger enterprises. And most

PAYING BONUS NOW
is FAVORED HERE


Patman, member OF congress
from Texas, as being the out
standing friend of all veterans IN
Washington, but we are not SUI
ficiently familiar with govern
mental financing to have any
definite opinion as to how the
money should be raised, and still
we are impressed with the fact
that the government appears to
have no difficulty in raising
moneys as may be recommended
and the officials appear to have
no reluctance in recommending
sums greatly in excess OF the
amount necessary to pay off the
adjusted compensation certlti-
Gates, wherefore we conclude
that the government is we'll able
to pay these certificates and do
hereby demand the payment OF
same, the money to be Falsed by
what effort congress may deem
to be the best interest of the
country, which interest we hold
above all.
"And we insist that the var-
Gus groups, each with stheir in
dividual bills, get together and
agree on one bill before any bill
is presented to the present ses-
sion Of congress.
J. B. Creech, commander Of
the Hubert NJ. Smith post. of the
Legion, presided at the meeting,
and introduced first R.. L. Whit
mire, former commander. who
outlined the fight for payment
of the certificates from the be-
ginning.
The certificates were voted by
congress, he said, to compensate
the veterans for the difference in
what they earned as soldiers and
what those who remained at
home earned during the war pc
riod. The certificates were &C
cepted. he said, because at that
time it seemed the best that
could be obtained from congress
with the then limited membership
of the Legion.
! Speaking for payment in cash,
he declared that the government
had seen fit after the war to
vote a bonus Of three billion dol
lars to. the railroads, several bill
lion more to some 1000 holders
of government contracts, and bs Il
loaned II billion to foreign ma
tions, a good part of which had
been used by those nations to
make similar payments to their
soldiers.
The certificates constitute .
contracted debt on the United
States. and payment at this time
will not increase the national
debt since payment is already a
contracted obligation.
He declared the credit of tho
government sound enough to
make this payment as evidenced
by the fact that, while the GOV
eminent has offered II billions
OF securities in the past Is
months, the country has offered
to buy So billions of these Sc
curitieS.

OF the payment of the bonus were
