THE MARYLAND BIBLE
SOCIETY'S CORNER
''The Word OF Our God Shall
Stand Forever"
The Authorized Version, 1911

The Authorized Version, 1911
James l, who came to the English
throne in 1903, was in outward appear
ance quite the contrast to the con-
ception of an English ruler which
had grown up under Plantagenet or
Tudor.
John Richard Green says of him:
ellis big head, his soldering tongue,
his quilted clothes, his rickety legs
stood out in as grotesque a contrast
with all that men recalled of Henry
or Elizabeth as his gable and rhodo-
mantade, his want of personal dignity,
his buffoonery, his coarseness of
speech, his pedantry, his personal cow
ardice." Not very attractive por-
trait of royalty to be sure. Yet under
this ridiculous exterior indeed lay no
small amount of moral courage and
of intellectual ability. Not only was
he ripe scholar, but he possessed a
considerable fund of shrewdness, of
mother wit and ready repartee. His
humor lights up the political and theo-
logical controversies of the time with
quaint, incisive phrases, with puns
and epigrams and touches of irony
which still retain their SAVIOR. Doubt
less this sense of humor ON the part
of the new sovereign did more to dam
pen the fires of persecution, and blow
away the smoke from Smithfeld than
any one element in his personality.
1t is always very easy for the perse-
cuted to change roles and become the
prosecutors. The king read widely in
the field of theology and was volum-
inous writer on subjects ranging from
predestination to tobacco. Henry the
Fourth Of France referred to him as
"the wisest fool in Christendom." His
pedantry and conceit prevented him
from bringing his theories into rela-
ton with actual facts, fatal defeat
destined to mar his political abilities.
James was too thoroughly Scotch
ever to understand England or the
English people. Had he been younger
he might have adapted himself better
to the new environments. A genius
might have flung himself into the new
world of thought and feeling and made
it his own. Being neither young nor
a genius, he, like many before his day
and since, saw no reason for any adj
justment of his conclusions or his
prejudices to the facts which con-
fronted him.
The Stuarts are said to have re-
manned foreigners for the more than
eighty years of their rule in England.
But it is not with James's policies at
home or abroad that we are concerned.
The king really aimed at the security
of his throne. Every consideration was
bent to that end. He conciliated the
Catholic party by renting certain
fines and attempted to open negotia-
tions with the Pope for his support.
His purpose seemed to be a balance
of influence between the two parties,
for his tolerance toward the Puri-
tans was also marked. Scarcely had
he crossed the Scottish border when
he was presented with the Millenary
Petition, so called from the belief that
a thousand of the English clergy had
signed it. The petitioners asked for
no change in the government or or
ganization of the Church, but for a
reform of its courts, the removal of
superstitious usages from the Book
of Common Prayer, the disuse Of les

The Getting of Wisdom

True wisdom is a thing very ex-

have it; and next to them, not those
many that think they have it, but
those few that are sensible of their
own defects and irnperfections, and
know that they have it not.-Tillot-

DISPUTE; PICKETING KEPT
OTHERS FROM WORKING

Steamship Queen City arrived
this morning from Miami for a
cargo of 1900 tons Of scrap steel
and scrap iron for shipment to
ports in Japan. Up to the hour
Of going to press none of the
metal had been loaded.
Men employed to do the load
ing are on strike and asking for
higher pay than the owners Of the
metal agreed on, it was said. The
trouble first started, it was stat
ed, when the Key West workers,
who were hired last week, learned
that about 80 colored men were
brought in over the highway.
Upon the arrival OF the ship the
men had agreed to ask for an in
crease in their hourly rate, but this
afternoon no agreement had been
reached, and the metal was not be-
ing moved.
At one time men started to go
on board the ship and while they
were DOING so they were kept busy
lodging missiles hurled at them by
others on the dock.

RECK TO KEEP
PUBLIC POSTED
ON OPERATIONS
LOCAL DIRECTOR OF WPA
PROPOSES TO COOPERATE
IN ALL MATTERS IN IN
TEREST OF KEY WEST

Herbert F. R. Reck, recently
appointed WPA director in this
district, intends to keep the pub
lie Informed on matters pertain
ing to Works Progress Admins
tration activities in order that
there will be no misunderstand-
ing of the administrations atti-
tude. Discussing the WPA work,
Mr.. Reck said: ~
ut is my intention that the
people of Key West at all times
be informed as to what the WPA
is doing; how it is doing it; what
is coming up in the near future.
In short all the hows, why's, whens
and where's of our work.
"Only so can we work to the
best advantage of everybody con-
cerned and be in a position to
render the utmost in cooperating
with the city, county and citizens.
Only through complete under
standing of our processes and the
bounds within which we must
work can the community make
the fullest use Of our facilities.
"From time to time l will fur
nish the local press with informa
ton concerning our activities
which, 1 believe, will be of special
interest. A letter just received is
of that nature and is self ex-
planatory."
The letter is one which is adj
dressed to all supervisors and
foremen and reads in part: cit
has been the practice in the past
to permit private individuals
wanting materials for fills, road
ways, etc, to haul off spoil from
the sewer, Garrison Blight, or
other jobs to provide it. This
practice must be stopped.
f'For your information the rob-
bling of spill from the sewer prof.
ect in the past is necessitating
the securing, hauling and placing
of upwards Of 5000 yards of ma
ter;al from Garrison Blight to re-
place SPOIL removed and which it
is now necessary to replace for
back fill. The unnecessary addi-
tional expense this incurred will
amount to approximately $4,000.
'Hence the necessity of i'm
mediately stopping this practice.
Supervisors will hereafter be held
personally responsible in this
matter and in the case of viola
ton of this order will be charged
with misapplication Of government
funds.
"The same principle will apply
to any other material bought for
or produced by the Works Prog
ress administration"
Mr.. Reck explained that this
does not mean that no mari will
be allowed individuals for build
ing driveways. filling in places
where necessary. Mari from Gar
rison Blight will be allowed on this
basis: eve will issue permits to
private individuals with the I'M
derstanding that for each load of
mari they haul for themselves
they haul load to whatever site
we designated. This makes the
mari from the Garrison Blight
available at very slight cost to
tho individual -
