TRANSLATION Of he Greek is exqui site English
but it is the language Of the time Of King James,
and many of it's phrases and words do not carry the
forcefu1 meanings they really possess for in the
language Of day. The following is the trans1a-
ton Of Dr.. Jane Eoffatt:
land yet Will go on to show you a still
higher path.
"Thus 7 may speak wi tn the tongues Of and
of angels but if have Lowell noisy gong
changing cymbal, I may prophesy, fathom all
mysteries end secret lore. I may have such abso-
Lutte faith that I for nothing; I may
have such absolute faith that can move hills
for nothing, I may distribute all I possess in
charity. may give up my body to be burnt. but
if have no love. make nothing of it.
"Love is very patti emit, very kind. Love Knows
jealousy; love makes no parade, gives itself
airs, is rude, selfish, ir-
others 60 wrong, love is gladdened by goodness,
always slow to expose, always eager to believe
the best, always hopeful, always patti ent. Love
disappears. AS for propheysing, it will
be superseded: for tongues, they will cease;
for knowledge, it will be supers seeded. Thus
faith and hope and love Last on, these three. but
the greatest Of all is love. Make love your

 The choice for the Republican prosecutorship was said to lie be- tween Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers and Charles Summa, with 8. late rec port having it that Attorney Mi- chael Galullo. one of the judgeship candidates, was being favorably con- sidered for appointment as prose- cutor.
