THE BIBLE. \ Much Popular Misinformation About the Scriptures. * The notion loose! v float in? about ; the churches is that the Hi bio came " down from heaven, cleanly printed, , nicely bound in morocco and pilt j edped, with a bookmarker apainst j that text which has been erroneous- ' ly made to declare that every Scripture is inspired of God. This heaven sent volume is incapable of error ' , in the minutest detail, livery sen- ; tence, every word and letter and (punctuation mark is infallibly guaranteed by the Ilolv Ghost! Nobody, tn ?.tkp knowledge of >the nresent 'U *er, has ever said that he holds .e that theory of inspiration, if the popular idea of the Bible .'ere analyzed it would warrant the , aference. And this infallibility is 1 n practice claimed for the Bible 5 printed in the English tongue / .nd read in our churches! Vet all world knows, or should know, n .nat the revised version udiich we ; 1 now posses i> based on the author- ij ized version, whic h is an improved i, i . edition of the hi--hops' Bilde, which L was a bad copy of Cranmer's Bible, * which was based on Covordale's ( translations of Dutch ?ind Latin t translations and Rogers' version of ( Tindall's Bible! And if we expect i to fmd rigidly accurate messages from the verv mind of (Jod, convey- " ed in a version of a version which ' is a translation of a translation, we t are demanding the most miraculous j of all conceivable miracles. , Popular misinformation about . ,he Bible seems to begin with the purchase of a copy in a bookstore. 1 Tet the adventures of the Bible <. documents before the dar of the ; printing press constitute one of the ' j romances of history. The earliest i Hebrew copy of the OKI Testament j1 of undisputed date goes back only ' to^ihe tenth century A. I>. For a jl period, therefore, of not less than | \ 1,200 years and perhaps of 2,000 j t copy had been succeeding copy, gen- 1 cration following generation in the ' world of books even as in the hu- \ ( man race. Twenty centuries of ! i "editions" had gone the way of all f I papyri, even as twenty centuries of human beings bad gone the way of all flesh, and this parchment was heir of all those ages in the fore ' most files of?books. Had no copy- J ist made one mistake in the course j ] of twice a thousand years ? As com- k pensation for the late date of our 1' Hebrew authorities can be set, H is ! true, the scrupulous fidelity with ! which the Hebrew amanuensis did 1! Jiis work, his reverence for the let- j1 ^(I'ter of the document on which he ! Vas engaged and the consequent i comparative purity and reliability j of the text.?Dr. Charles F. Aked iv in Appleton's. "?? Division of Labor. Sam, a negro of the good old " fashioned sort,was strutting through the village street as proud as any peacock. "Hello, Sam!" said a man who had occasionally given him an odd job. "I hear you've takyn a partner for life?" i "Yes, sah. Married yesterday." ] "Now, Sam, I hope you believe in * an equal division of labor and will ] ^r.ot expect your partner to do all ( vhe work." j i "No, sah?no, indeed, sail! I does ;? believe we bofe should do our share, i Wife's gwine to d' washing sail, and | I'm gwine t' be do treasurer." The Actor's Retort. j Not loni^ ago a New York theat- , rical manager came in unexpectedly upon the rehearsal of one of his ( shows and didn't like the way one of the comedians was delivering his ; i lines. The man, who had never met . the manager, was slow, lackadaisical in manner and lacked spirit. ^ "Here, here, this won't do at all," | said the manager, striding down the , aiole toward the stage. ".More steam i Al 1 \11VI V, II1U1C MVilill . liiuto UJIU^VU want-*-more steam!" "Gee/' said the m?n, gazing down j on the manager. ''Steam?

It is a generally received idea that a singer's life is a merry one? 1 little to do, storms of applause, top- t ped up with sacks of gold and amuse- 1 ment without end. My experience 1 does not confirm that idea in the I least. No gold nor amusement could i repay the toil, worry and disappoint- r ment of a singer's life as I know it. * ?From "The Art of Singing," by ^ Sir Charles Santley. 8 NEWFi III ill HE HEW 0 < A WARNING FOR MILLINERS. ielurabia Merchant Fined for Violating Game Law. Columbia, October 22:?Mr A j Douglas, president of the A G Douglas Company, which conducts i fashionable dry goods and millinery ;stablishment in Columbia, was tin; ?2 to-day by Magistrate Fowles oi :harge of violating the game laws' ;he State. The warrant was sworn >ut by Secretary Rice, of the Audu)on Society, under >ne Act of 1905, md states that Mr Douglas has in lis jKissession and offers for sale the fathers of a noti-gatne bird, which s a violation of the statute. The fathers in question are those <-f a leron on a stylish hat in the Dougias vindow, and theie are lots of others >f the same kind in the stock, which Mr Douglas will have to dispose of ii some legal way. >v nen tee case ivas called in the magistrate's court le entered a plea of guilty and paid lis tine. If the Audubon Society indertakes to enforce the law hronghout the State it is likely that i good many stocks of millinery in itiier towns than Columbia, will be iepleted of some of th<-ir choicest tall offerings.
