I h TINE OF IIIOII SCHOLARSHIP Learned Men Made Careful and Con sclentlous Revision and Work Still Stands. At the sumo time that Shakespeare was writing his Inst great drama, "The Tempest," about three squaros distant the work on tho revised ver sion of tho English bible was nearlng a cIobo. This was 300 yearB ago this month, and yesterdnv at convocation Professor F. A. Stuff gave an Intense ly Interesting lecture on the methods and causes of the revision. When James 1 became king of Eng land On tho death of Elizabeth, the PuTltnns Immediately sent messengers to him asking for a revision of the Bible. James announced a confen enco of churcirnien at Hanvpton Court for the purpose of considering changes. Dr. Reynolds of Oxford championed tho Puritan cause and mnde many objections to the Bishop's bible in a very ablo and brilliant man ner. However, the bishop's influence was too strong Judt at that time to allow many changes. Scholarly Age. At this time in England scholarship was rather high, and the king hlmsolf wns a learned man. Ho decided that the Bible really neoded revision. In 1G04 he appointed n committeo of fifty four men to do tho work. On the com mission wero Anglican and Puritan clergymen and laymen. They were di vided into threo groups, one nt West minster, one at Oxford and one nt Cambridge. Each had a separato por tion of tho Bible to translate. The final work was done by six members of the committeo In London. Speaking of former translations, Dr. Stuff spoke of several of tho early works. All of course camo first from the original In Hebrew. Tho most an cient translation was a Greek one at ISO B. C. In 390 to 104 B. C. came Jerome's Latin translation, ono of tho most remarkable of early' linguistic fonts. When printing was invented In 1451, a complete Bible wns put on the press and completed tho following year. In 148S came Erasmus transla tion from the Hebrew.

For threoyears the oc clesinstlcs In Englnnd tried to de stroy this Bible, nnd nt present only two fragments of It are In existence. While In Europo, Tindnll wns nrxrest ed and charged with heresy, and burned at the stake. But his influence lived nnd nine-tenths of tho King James version Ms in his language, which was excellent for his time. There were ten or twelve other Bibles used by tho revision committee. Each man's work in tho committee was carefully gone over by tho other mem bers. Tho labor wns thoroughly nnd conscientiously done and has held Its own for three centuries over all other versions. Tho late Amerlcnn version is nccounted tho greatest work of scholarship in Bible translation, but It will be many years no doubt before It reaches In popularity the King James authorized version.
