This “sentence sums up Mr. Chenery’'s creed, “There was nothin our constitution or in our tradition that decreed much to the few and little to the many.” Therefore, Mr. Chenery was able to support those Roosevelt proposals designed to aid the submerged one-third of the nation.

New Version

Of Bi ible THE LIVING BIBLE. Edited by Robert O. Ballou. New York, Viking, $3.75. This rearrangement and special treatment of the Bible, hased on the King James version, is offered ta those who would enjoy the Bihle as literature which forms an important part of our cultural heritage. It is an easier-to-read version for modern readers. and, as the editor points out, not the Bible for the theologian. For instance, you turn to the chapter entitled, “First Days.” The first division deals with the creation. In this division, the two distinct stories of the creation in Genesis, which are often confusing to the novice, are welded into one. In the division, “The Fall of Man,” vou get in less than two pages the simple story of the first man who succumbed to the temptation offered by the first woman. (Adam had no false sense of chivalry and put the blame for eating the fruit where it belonged -—on Eve.) In the treatment of the New Testament, the first three gospels are knit together, repetition is eliminated and the story of Jesus emerges in a mighty readable form. This is the treatment followed throughout... Book titles and the verse and chapter headings are eliminated. There is one exception to the nze of the King James version. The new Moilton translation of the Song of Songs is used. porated in the text, too, is a lih-

eral offering of the so-called Lo-

goi, the recently discovered manuseript. which is thought to have antedated the gospels.—C. V.L,

seeing the Confederate flags flying around in all sections of the country, sometimes I wonder.) Mr. Williams quotes to advantage scores of dispatches from Lincom to his generals. This one was sent to Joe Hooker when Hooker was procrastinating like his predecessor, McClellan: “If the head of I.ee's army is at Martinsburg, and the tail of it is on the plank road between Fredricksburg and Chancellorville, the ani

mal must be very slim somewhere. Could you not break him?”

Another of the many examples of Lincoln's military astuteness concerns the situation when Thomas, at Nashville, was facing the Confederate Hood. Grant in-

sisted on removing Thomas be--

cause of delay in forcing a showdown. Lincoln favored giving Thomas a chance, While the debate was going on Thomas smashed Hood decisively. Lincoln and Grant were the first of the modern strategists, the author opines. They thought “globally,” that is, in terms of the war as a whele and not as comprised of various separate theaters of operation. Grant, says Mr. Williams, had the concept of total war in which, to achieve vie.
