Plans Modern Bible

Written in Style of

Baseball Language

A Bible, reading with the rapid cwing found in the description of a good baseball game, that glows with ferver of the Fourth of July oration of a budding orator, that smacks of the parlance of the bleaeherR and the verbiage of Coney Island, bringing the patriarchs of other dayB before us clad in Knglish walking coats and disseminating advice after the style of a secretary of state on a Chautauqua circujt, in short modernizing the Rook so that it will be read in preference to "Two Days and a Knight" or any other of the six best sellers this is the idea advocated for the regeneration of the race by Horace Swan, gentleman, cosmopolitan scholar, who was one of the centers of attraction at the Indiana Yearly Meeting of the Society . of Friends in session last month. Swan argues that the Chinese, the Japanese, the American Indians and even thf dissolute South Sea Islanders have a Bible all their own. while the free American nation is compelled to peruse a King James version or else go without spiritual sustenance. Modernizes Version. This, he maintains. Is not as it should be. He would have the tale of Jonah told as a piscatorial feat of the present day and make the story of Daniel read like an episode in the life history of "Jennie the Queen of the Jungle." He would vitalize the crossing of the Red Sea, by making the Children of Israel crank the motors of airships and sail away into the purple offing having previously pulled the spark plugs of the aeroplanes of Tharoah. After pondering for a long time the present woeful condition of affairs biblical, Swan has decided that if no one else will come to the front, he him self will make the attempt to turn out an American Bible. He contends that the way it should be done is for the translator to make the Bible as vivid as it was to the ancient Greeks and Jews by reproducing the spirit in which it was written. Swan is convinced that the story of John of Patmos had such an immediate vogue when it was written, that reading clubs were formed all over the literary world to revel In its delights. All that the translator of tjbe present day needs to do is to WbjcK the spirit of the book of Revelations, lay it before an expectant world and he is made man. An Open Book. "Many deep meanings can be dis LAYMEN READ PAPERS! Addison Parker and J. W. Ferguson on Program. Rev. W. O. Stovall, Addison Parker, and J. W. Ferguson, have r rned from Farmland where they attended the quarterly meeting of the Flat Rock Baptist Ministers association. Mr. Parker and Mr. Ferguson were on the program and read papers on "Ordination of Baptist Ministers" and "Evangelism" respectively. REPORT SHOWS FLOOD AFFECTED C. & O. ROAD The damaging March floods seriousaffected the gross and net earnings of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad as can be seen from the recently issued report for the yenr, ending June 30, 1913. The net earnings were $10,633,718 against $11,654,189 of the previous year. The surplus, after charges, was $3,298,503, which is equal to 5.25 per cent on outstanding stock, as compared with 6.8 per cent earned the preceeding year. The gToss revenues, however, Increased $795,409 over 1912, but the operating expenses Increased $1,815,879 and the taxes increased $361,643. In the remarks to stockholders President Stevens said, "The statement of charges to property accounts shows a net addition of $3,410,103 which includes a majority of the money spent for additions and better equipment for the Virginia Air Line, which hithertofore was operated by the Chesapeake and Ohio road and now merged by a deed. "The Chesapeake and Ohio equipment corporation issued $18,500 par amount of stock and $2,122,000 face amount of notes for the purchasing of new equipment." PENNSY AGENTS TO MEET HERE The semi-annual meeting of the agents of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania railroad will be held In the Commercial club rooms, Friday. The speaker of the day will be Ivy L. Lee of Philadelphia, head of the publicity department of the Pennsylvania railroad. The meeting was called by the railroad for the purpose of offering instruction to the agents. Business matters will be taken up by the railroad officials and there will be a number of speakers, several of whom are from other Vities. The agents are not organized. The meeting will be called at 1 o'clock. FAILURE OF DOC'S ENTRY EXPLAINED Why Mayor Zimmerman after participating in the festival parades of Wednesday and Thursday last week failed to fctart in the automobile pageant Friday was brought to light today. In the parlance of the race track the mavor's entry in the Friday parade was "scratched" by his political managers. One of them admitted as much today. Last Wednesday the mayor was a prominent figure in the agriculture parade but he failed to get a hand" from the thousands of spectators. " The following day the mayor was an Impressive and prominent figure in the industrial parade, driving behind his favorite race horse, "Long Sought. Again a deep silence followed in the wake of his progress, -whereupon his entry in the concluding parade of the festival was withdrawn.

cerned when the student delves beneath the eurface for wisdom," says Swan. The new version, a la Swan, reads very vividly at times and in some instances could hardly be recognized, save by some of the highest elect. Thus the phrase, "Let us go hence" may be rendered: "Let us sit on the porch a while." "It is time to go home." "The hay for us." The expressions differ in character and dignity but the meaning is the same. The Greek story of the New Testament, according to Swan is an exhilirating one of a being made of light who comes to the home of a carpenter and grows up to be a professor of psychology and rides through the main street of the capital city, enters the city hall, publicly derides the board of public works, insists that the board of health knows nothing about the management of a typhoid epidemic, is caught, tried, and summarily lynched. Excerpt of Style. Here is a small excerpt from the Swan version. "Honesty returned full of inspiration to his own district and became famous throughout, the whole state. One day while travelling he stopped at the little town of Distribution and offered to read the lesson in Sunday school. "Here is what he read 'The breath of the Master is on me. He has sent me to bring good news to the poor people. To announce the release of all prisoners, the recovery of sight to the blinded, to liberate the racked and tortured and to proclaim the jubilee year of the Master. "And he went on to say 'No professor is much thought of in his own place, but I want to tell you that in the days when there was distress upon earth there were many ministers' widows living yet to no one was the message of spiritual uplift sent except to a widow of refinement.' "When the people heard this they were very angry and tried to make him jump over a cliff and break his neck, but he dodged through the crowd and escaped." The extreme liveliness of the ancient Greek version, according to Swan, is thus shown in every line. Any one interested in the new version can receive more complete information by addressing Howard Swan, 2510 Kemper Lane, Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio. " HABiGHDRST ATTENDS Represents St. John's At Lutheran Synod Meeting. Henry J. Habighorst is representing St. John's Lutheran church at the Western District meeting of that denomination, now in session at Reading, Ohio. Superintendent Gahre of the Wernle Orphans Home left today for the convention. The Rev. C. C. Hein, president of the district, read his annual report, outlining the state of church and calling attention to its needs. He also advocated reforms and indicated changes necessary for the continued progress of the body. Committees to pass on his report, audit the treasurer's report, and act on matters of business were appointed. The convention will be in session until next Tuesday. A TARIFF SECTION WILL LIE DORMANT WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.

MORGAN LIVES AS ANY POOR BOY Junius S. Morgan, son of J. P. Morgan, and future heir to the great fortune of the master financier, who is a senior at Harvard, has forsaken the luxurious surroundings of Beck Hall dormitory and taken up his residence in Hollis Hall, the old-fashioned, one-hundred-year-old dormitory building, where such conveniences as bath and elevator are unknown.

Arrangements for the national corn ; show to be held at Dallas. Tex . February 10 to 23, have practically beMi completed, said Joe Helms, vice presi ident of the Corn Growers' association Last year Mr. Helms won the national championship at the South Carolina show with the best single ear of corn On this account he will be barred from entering a single ear in the con:ing show, although he may enter gram in other classes. According to Mr. Helms a number of Wayne county farmers will enter corn in the state contest, which is held to select the best grain for exhibition at the national show. For the last three years the Indiana association has offered a trophy valued at 11,000. for the best ten ears of corn grown in any state. Each time Indiana has won the trophy. Special efforts have been made by corn growers this year to win again. Much interest also is being manifested in the trophy for the best oats. Canada has carried off the honors for two years, and if it succeeds again the trophy will become the permanent property of the Canadian growers. Prof. G. I. j Christie has urged the Indiana farmers to exhibit their crop. ! RAILROAD PERSONALS Firemen Blossom and Meyers, of the Pennsylvania system, are visiting friends in Huntington, West Virginia.
