VI Column Prepared Especially for Women
--
But Not Forbidden to Men
"I suppose you have a Bible in the
toffiee," a man said to' me the other
day when he wanted a quotation for
._a job he was ordering: "Oh, yes,"
was my reply. No newspaper office
is without a Bible. It is our stand-
ard book of reference"
This is true of all neWapaper of-
fices, I think, The Bible is often re-
ferred to and is kept handy in all
• editorial and news rooms.
I wonder if the study of the Bible
As as common as it used to be in
- the family. The Bible continues to
be the world's "Best Seller," more
• copies of this book being sold in
Canada or the United States, for he
stance, than of any other book, no
natter how popular. But the thought
persists, in spite of this, that it is
not read and studied quite so much in
the family circle as in the earlier
days in this country.
And if this is true it is a great
pity. There is no book like it, It Is
an authority on moral conduct; on
the right attitude of the individual
toward his Creator; on the right at-
titude of the individual toward his
fellow men, and on the right at-
titude of nation to nation. In fact,
if the New Testament were taken aa
a guide of Life by everyone this
world would be a heaven on earth,
That, by the way, was probably
Christ's plan, that we should start a
heaven below, but it has been a long
time getting under way.
And aside from its moral teachings
the Bible, especially the old King
James verison, is a masterpiece of
!literature. Where can we find such
exquisite poetry as in the psalm! I
sometimes wonder what people see in
the newer versions, they do not seem
to make it any plainer to my con-
i prehensin and they certainly rob it
i of much of its beauty of expression.
Quotations from this old book have
•enriched the literature of centuries
and continues to do so. A journalist
, who has gone far in his profession
'once told me that his knowledge of
the Bible had been of untold assis-
tance to hint in his work, And he
said the way he had gained this
knowledge was largely by the study
Iof the book as a :child, with the as»
sistance of an old Bible History, pub -
ilisted with illustrations, which ex-
plained the different stories, Making
them more int',ereslting to young
students. This had been studied by
all the members of his family and

GRANT FLEMING, M.D., Associate Secretary
It was in the middle of the last
°century that the fear of vapours
- arising from marshes and bad •drains
reached its height. At that time,
noxious vapours seemed to offer the
• most reasonable explanation for the
cjtherwise inexplicable epidemic of
diphtheria, typhoid fever and malar-
ia, and other diseesas,
Later, ,came a real dread of night
• air, as the vapours and gases seem-
ed to, be even more deadly at night
than in the daytime, And we are not
-yet rid of this false idea if one may
judge from the way some windows
• are kept closed at night.
People still remain indoors for
fear of catching cold or becoming
chilled. The ehill which often marks
the onset of a cold is not due to cold
• •air or to exposure of the body; the
chilly feeling which precedes the fev-
• er has nothing to do with going out
of doors.
Weak people used to be told to
•-stay in at night and to sit in crowds
iso that, by breathing in the breath
exhaled by strong persons they
-might gain same of the strength of
these individuals.
Today, we recognize the value of
'fresh air. We know that there is
-no -danger in sewer gas or night air,
Night air is just as good as day air.
Vapours frond marshes are to be a-
voided only. if they bring those moss
quitoes which spread malaria and
:yellow- fever.
Fresh air, particularly out-of-door
• air, is good for us. It dilutesthe
droplets of infection (secretions
from the mouth and nose), which are
coughed into it by those with colds
and other communicable diseases.
When we live crowded together,
there is much greater opportunity
for the passage of disease, from one
person to another, by droplet infee.
tion.
Cool air is stimulating; it increases
the metabolism of the body and so
more food is used up. Those who
want to reduce should exercise in the
cool open air. Cool air also stimulates
the flow of blood in the membranes
lining the nose and other parts of
the respiratory tract touched :by the
air inhaled, This promotes a flow
of the secretions with their protec-
tive values.
To sit in warm stagnant air is to
bank down the fires of life, and wilt
likely lead to a loss of appetite, to
poor digestion and faulty elimina-
tion. It is generally true that bet.
ter health is enjoyed by those who
spend part of each day in some op.
en -air activity, even if this is only
walking out of dooms, as long as the
body is not chilled by exposure to
cold. You need never be afraid of
cold air. Wear just enough clothing
to be comfortable at what you are
doing, in or out of doors, whatever
the temperature may be at 'the time.
Each one has to decide his clothing
needs for himself.

First English Bible Four Centuries Old
By J. V. 1WoAREE in The Mail and .Empire.
We were turning over in our mind
en article on the 400th anniversary
of the Bible which falls to -day when
we received such an article from
Louis Blake Duff, in Welland, who
knows far mere about the Bible and
all other books than we. It was sent
special ,delivery and arrived yester-
day morning accompanied by the fol-
lowing note: "Wlith all its fault this
article is certainly timely if it gets
te you before the 4th of October. Its
stature is much against it. It is too
big for the Half Pint, and besides I
do not remember that you, ever let
anyone in there. It is too small for
the column unless you could piece- it
out by a' hymn." So let's comprom-
ise and admit that much of the mat-
erial in what follows has been sup-
plied by Mr, Duff. He gets an assist
on the play. The Bible referred to is
the first English Bible, known as
Miles Coverdale's Bible. It was •born
in exile, and existing evidence sug-
gests that it was printed in Zurich
by Chritsopher Froschover, the tile
page was as follows:
BIBLIA
The Bible That
is, the holy Scripture of the
Olde and New Testament, faith-
fully and truly translated out
of Douche and Latyn
into E'nglishe
XXXV.
Prynted in the yeare of our Lord 1535
and fynished the fourth date of
October.
• The Work of Jews.
The history of the Bible is of per-
ennial interest riot only to scholars
and antiquarians but to the Chris
tian peoples of the earth; and with-
out speculating as to the origin of
the Old Testament in Hebrew we can
begin 23 centuries ago in the great
synagogue of Alexandria, where
some 70 scholars engaged on the
task of translating it into vernacular
Greek. It was this version that was
use b
d Jesus
His Disciples, Y and s es and
nd
called the Septuagint. It prepared
the way for Chistendom and was the
contribution of the Jews. We find it
a curious fact, stated on the author-
ity of P, W. Wilson in the New York
Times, that both the Old and the
New Testament were in the first
place written entirely by Jews, not a
word being inscribed by any other
hand.
Catholic Translators
Next it was the turn of the. Oath -
mhos, Fifteen centuries ago St. Jer-
ome, who was a student of both He-
brew and Greek, read a Bible that
included the New Testament as welt
as the Old. This he revised and
t1anslated into vertracular Latin,
and the new Bible was called the
Vulgate, meaning that it was read
by and read to the people. It is in
use to this day. In the sixteoenth
century this Bible was Englished
and became known as the Douai ver-
sion. Then came the Protestants;
John Wycliffe was at least partly re.
sponsible for the Bible that bears
his name. Luther translated the
Bible into German, and William Tyn-
dall much of it into English, but
Coverdale's was the first complete
English Bible from Genises. to Rev-
elation. Other translations followed
until in 1671 there came the King
Jamesor Authorized version, and
this to most English-speaking peo-
ples, remains The Bible. There 'have
been other versions, chiefly the Re-
vised, which appeared some 40 years
ago ,and an abomination which first
saw the light in Chicago and sug-
gested that Ben Hetcht might have
hada hand in its composition,
Bootlegged Bibles.
In 1526 the first , copies of Tin,
dale's New Testament entered Eng-
land says _Mr. Duff: "Henry and
Wolsey had been warned of this,
threatened invasion and did every-
thing in their power to defeat it,
The shipment entered England as
bootleg, packed in the heart of bales
of cotton and other merchandise. It.
was immediately proscribed and de.
nounced, Wolsey requiring all copies
to he given up and ordering a sys
temetie search ea ch for copies to be made.
The Bishop of Rochester preached at
Sit, Paul's Cross and at the conclus-
ion of the sermon great .baskets of
the, New Testaments were delivred
up and burned. To -day only two cop-
ies of the edition survive—one in St.
Paul's. Cathedral library and the
other in the Baptist College at Bris-
tol." Coverdale found a friend and
protector in Thomas Cromwell, but
when he died the translator fled to
Bavaria where he lived under the
name of Michael Angles. Different
winds where blowing when he return-
ed to E4tgiand in 1648 and he was well
received et court. Through the in-
fluence of C'rannrer he was appoint-
ed chaplain to the King "and died in
1568 at the age of 81.
Bible and Free Speech
In the long and eventful history
of the Bible and its translators there
is no nobler name than that of Wil-
liam Tyndall, or Tindale. Ile fought
a great battle for the freedom of the
press. He asserted the right of a
citizen to own ° a book, to discuss a
book, to translate a book ,to distri-
bute a book, to use the words of
Mr. Wilson. In the end he died a
martyr to these principles. Driven
out of England he found asylum in
Cologne where Peter Quentel, a fam-
ous printer, struck off the first few
pages of Tyndall's New Testament
which, as Mr. Duff says, was snug-
Bled into. Englad, For two cen-
turies it seemed that every trace of
this Bible had vanished but some
pricless leaves were later discovered
by a London bookseller, They are
now in the British Museum. It is
interesting.tonote that the demand
of the common people to have access
to the Bible was one of the great
impelling farces behind the demend
for the freedom of speech, so dear to
English-speaking people, and so fro;
quently invaded by their mestere,
spiritual and secular.
DAMAGE BY MOTHS CAN BE
HEAVY IN WINTER
Under the impression that moths
commit their depredations in the
spring ng and summer months only,
many people display little care in
putting away their summer clothes
for the winter. As a matter of fact,
moths may be found ireheated modern
buildings all the year round. Preven-
tion is better than cure; therefore It
is necessary to use the same care
in p'aeking up summer clothing in
the fall as is bestowed on winter
clothes in the spring. Moths them-
selves do no harm, except that they
lay eggs, and when the eggs 'hatch
into larvae, or caterpillars, feeding,
otherwise damage, commences at
once. As the young Iarvae are very
sensitive to light, they seek out pro-
tected situations in the folds of furs
or woollen garments, or in the inter-
ior of upholstered furniture. .Sum-
mer garments before being laid by
for the winter should be thoroughly
brushed, beaten, and shaken, prefer-
ably in strong sunlight, If there are
no air -tight trunks or chests handy,
the clothing .should be placed in cot -
on or paper bags, or in cardboard
boxes sealed wih strips, .of paper. As
an alternative, the clothing should
be wrapped in two thicknesses of
strong wrapping paper, taking care
that the edges are turned so that the
moths cannot gain entrance. The
control of :moths which infest clothes
is fully discussed in a cirehlar pro.
pared Iby the Entomological Branch
of the Dominion Department of Ag-
riculture.

THE LARGEST LIFE
Nay, never once to feel we are alone,
WIbile the great human heart around
us lies:
To make the smile on other lips our
own.
To live upon the light in others- eyes:
To breathe without a doubt the lim-
pid all
Of that most perfect love that knosys
no pain:
To say—'I love you ---only, and not
care
Whether the love comes back to us
again.
Divinest selfforgetfulness, at first
A task,`and then a tonic, then a need
To greet with open hands the best
and worst,
And only for another's wounds to
bleed:
That is to see the beauty that God
meant
Wrapped round with life ineffably
content,

THE LONG VIEW
Some day of days, some dawning yes
to be,
I shall be clothed with immortality,
And, on that day, 2 shall not greatly

That Jane• spilt candlegrease upon

It will not vex me then, as once it
did,
That careless ;hands have chipped my
teapot lid,
That needs were great, when means
were small,
Will not perplex me, any more at all,
A few short years at most (it may be
less),
I shall have done with earthly storm
and stress.
So for this day, I lay me at Thy feet
Oil, keep me sweet, my Master, keep
me sweet.

Where SAX,t thou gone, light -ankles
Youth?
With wing at either. shoulder,
And smile that never left thy mouth,
Until the Hours grew colder:
Then .somewhat seemed to whisper
near
That thou and I must part;
I doubted it; I. felt no fear,
No weight upon n4y heart,
If augtht befell it, Love was by
and rolled it off again;
So if there ever was a sigh,
'Twas not a. sigh of pain.
I may not calx thee back; but thaw
Retur'nest when the hand
01 gentle SIeep waves o'er my brow
His poppy-erested wand;
Then smiling eyes bend over mine,
Then lips once pressed invite;
But sleep hath given a silent sign,
And both, alas! take flight,

NOVEMBER AFTERNOON
--
There is a quietness on all the land,
Against a somber sky a .blueibircl
wings
Its sudden way without sound and on
the crest
Of wearying hills
Solemnly the trees stand.
Seed -time has passed and the harvesfj
And the fields are fallow and grey,
Save one here unbelievably green --4
As unbelievable as the first scent of
lilacs
Ona May day.
The weeds along the fence are grey,
capped
And trust shod.
They are wrinkled as old women, '
And their bones are brittle.
They sleep and nod.
Though but late afternoon the she.
dews are long,
The colorless mist gathers in the hol-
lows
And creeps slowly up the hill . , .
There is iso more to see nor is there
any song.
Skyward there is the faint crescent
of .the moon,
Seed•.time and harvest and the year
gone so soon.

THOUGHTS IN AUTUMN WOODS
I wandered through the autumn
woods:
The trees with colours glowed;
The leaf -strewn path beneath my feet
Approaching winter showed.
The wrestling winds and gathering
• birds
With music filled the air;
The forest seemed a sky -domed
church
Of sacred, heartfelt prayer,
The leaves resembled bright stained
glass
Which throws a rosy light
On pew and aisle throughout the day.
But calls throngs in at night.
I found a clearing—field of Death,
Where chopped -tree tombstones
stood;
A, surge of sadness filled the void
And the surrounding wood.
This graveyard may,in after years—,
For nothing dies in vain --
Yield harvest from its fertile soil,
Great loads of gelden grain.
—A. M. Hodgson.
AUTUMN
And so the A:utunrn comes again
And colored leaves drift down, -
Drift down to. dust
That settles on the grass
And blows along the lanes
And wrys the mouth—,
Sift, golden dust across the Autumn
sunlight,
Like days that destined for destruc-
tion
Wear bravo bright colors
Spite of Marble night.
I cannot tell you why this thing
' should be,
Wiby Beauty is a leaf that burns and
blows
A turning flag of colour on the
wind--
For'you may pluck a spring of scarlet
salvia
And say, "I hold it now -this aching
- Autumn beauty"—
And still be wrong; 'This not for
touching.
I tell you, you may find its counter-
part in certain eyes
That wear their dreams like burning
candles
dr
nd es
Lighting the dark lonely g tmg up da of 1 y ways.
So Autumn comes, and Beauty for a
space
Leans' down' to ,brush her lips soros/
your face! ,
--Mona ona Gosl
