the greatest crisis fair Canada ever

Of the early translations of the Bible
the most important, aside from the Sept-
uagint and the St. Jerome versions, are
the threefold Egyptian translation of the
fourth century. This remarkable work
of the copyist was in three languages,.
and was intended for all vats of Egypt:
the Versio )Figurate., collated by Jacob,
of Edessa, in the. eighth century; that. of
Paul, bishop of Tela, in 617, and the
eighth, ninth and tenth century transla-
tions, glade respectively by Bede, "Alfred
and IElfria.

The early printed editions of the Bible
remind one of what the philosopher said
about the human frame—they were
"curiously audevenderfully made." The
Wickliffe (sometimes spelled. Wycliffe)
version of `;1884 was the first English
