Any Boners in Your Bible?

EVEN in publishing as
- revcred and carefully
proofread a book as the
Bible. grievous human er-
rors have crept in, 10 the
chagrin OF printers and the
horror of holy men.
There was. for example,
the "Treacle" Bible pub
lishcd in 1877. II takes its
name from the sentence,
There is no more treacle in
Gilead." OF course the cor
rect line should read.
There is no more balm in
Gilcad."
Then there was the so
called Wicked" Bible that
appeared in 1881 This was
no joke because the printer
and publisher OF the book
each were fined 500 pounds
because their omission Of
mot" in the Seventh Com
mandment was considered
10 have been intentional.

While food was replaced at the

the only difference in last night S
performance and one at Barter's
Southwest Virginia home. The
scenery and costumes were Barter
productions, and the actors doubled
as stagehands, an old Abingdon
custom.
1--WE are Just whispering about the
barter angle" Mr.. Porterf1eld said
1--WE don't want to be bothered with
a lot of green vegetables on the

stage, founded the Barter Theater
in 1888, when Broadway actors were
