REVISING THE BIBLE

An American Standard Bible Commit
tee, made up of leading scholars through
out the country, was appointed in 1929 to
consider the possibility of further revis-
ing the text of the American Standard
edition of the Bible. The committee rep
resents forty Protestant denominations
which are cooperating in matters affecting
religious education.
We understand that revision will be
undertaken but that the work will not be
completed until 1941. Scholars point out
that the last forty years has been es-
pecially fruitful in the discovery of manu-
scripts and materials leading to better UNI
Outstanding of the New Testament. More
over, some phrases in the Bible, it is felt,
require Qualification.
The American Standard Edition of
the Bible was published in 1901. 1t utilized
the King James Bible and the committee
announces that the new work will keep
the classic style of the famous translation.
The revised King James Bible was under
taken in 1870 by 81 English scholars col
laborating with a committee of 81 Amer
leans. The group worked ten and half
years on the New Testament and fourteen
years on the Old Testament.
While no one need expect any start
ling changes in the Bible, it may be pos
sible for tie new revision to clarity the
meaning of some of the text through the
adoption of modern terms. However, it is
to be hoped that the beauty of the King
James version will not be impaired

FORTY TONS IN A SCOOP

An idea of what the machine is do
ing in the way of work can be gathered
from the operation of giant electric
powered shovel now being used to remove
the clay top soil from above the coal that
is found in parts of Illinois.
Strip-mining differs from shaft-min-
ing in that after the top soil is removed,
the coal seam is exposed and easily re-
moved by electrically operated local
shoveis. In the new Buekheart Strip Mine,
near Canton, Illinois, what is said to be
the worlds largest shovel scoops up forty
tons of top soil in one swing of its dipper.
1t is followed by the coal shovel which
scoops up five to seven tons of coal at a
time, after the coal has been loosened by
small blasting pellets.
It is interesting to report that one
man operates the stripping machine and
one man the coal shovel The average
output of coal per man is eighty tons day
compared with from six to eight tons in
the older shaft mines. Moreover, in the
strip process, all available coal is re-
covered, whereas in shaft mining, the
average recovery is estimated to be around
half of the available fuel.
At first thought, the use of such ma
chimes is regarded as threat to employ
ment bat if one realizes IT, &sssuch equip
mant, oin@the long run, willreduce costs and
inevitably make commodities cheaper. In
fact, the time may come when machinery
will do the bulk Of the work of the world
and mankind will enjoy higher standards
of living than ever before.

THE WAR IN SPAIN

On 81 -
The war in Spain drags along, with
most observers of the opinion that final
victory will belong to Gen. Franco and his
alien forces.
The long-expected rebel offensive has
been delayed by the weather but before
long, ii is believed. the rebel leader will
attempt to crush the loyalists by an over
whelming attack
An Associated Press correspondent,
who has spent some months with the in
surgent forces, says that Gen. Franco has
an Italian army of $4,000 troops, under
the command of Italian generals and some
$4,000 Moors. in addition to his own sea-
soned soldiers.
We believe that the aid that has been
extended to the Spanish rebels by Italy
and Germany has been sufficient to give
them the advantage i'm the struggle. At
TIE same time, there are reports from
Spain to the effect that the loyalist have
a well-trained army. with good morale,

Bridge Crashes Down
Under Load of Logs

While Neil Blanchard was crossing
the West Fisher river bridge Tues
day afternoon with a load of logs,
the bridge--an old one-gave way
beneath the load and dropped the
truck and logs into the stream, which
is shallow at this time of the year.
One side OF the bridge gave way
first, tipping the load. As Blanch-
ard started to jump through a win
dow, he saw timbers from the bridge
following him, SO he crouched as
low as he could in the cab and
went down with the load. Blanch-
ard escaped with only broken rib.
The load fell with the truck on
top OF the logs. The only damage
sustained was a slightly smashed
fender and dent in the top of the
cab.
County Commissioner Kemp went
out to the scene of the accident and
helped get the truck out. He then
borrowed bulldozer from the high
way camp near by and completed
the demolition of the bridge. Ar
engagements were made with En-
gineer Gowan of the B. p. r. where
by traffic will be taken card OF
over temporary bridge across the
Fisher river on the new right of
way.
Kemp stated there was no use of
rebuilding the old bridge inasmuch
as new one will be built across
the Fisher within a few months.
