of the original Greek and with form

Standard Version,” a translation ac
cording to the Mascretio text, and a
translation from the Latin Vulgate.
A group of children’s Bibles in

The Saturday morning chapel was
given to Miss Elizabeth Lilly who
talked about Emily Dickinson, the
New England poetess. Miss Lilly

The poetess lived very much in se

affair. The fame of her poems is
due to her individual interpretation

World Fellowship Commit
tee Sponsors Talk
The second of the series of talks
under the auspices of the World
Fellowship Committee was given by
Miss Riggan Tuesday afternoon. Her
topic was “Munition and the Peace
Problem.”
Gunpowder was imported into Eur
ope in the Middle Ages. At first the
newly manufactured guns were used
only in beseiging and hunting, be
cause they were considered cowardly.
However, during the French Revolu
tion guns came more into use, and
their manufacture progressed. Here
arises a complex problem: how to
deal with the large munition making
concerns that have been established
in our and in every country. Their
control is in the hands of a few men.
Although in violation of treaties and
their expressed condemnation of war,
they .sell their products to the coun
tries at war.
Alfred Krupp has been an out
standing figure in the armament
question in Germany. He has built
up a gigantic business, and before
the World War was supplying fifty-
two nations with arms. Today, in
theory, his equipment is used for
peaceful industrial needs. In reality
he is rearming Germany. Although
violating the Treaty of Versailles, he
is shipping arms to other countries.
The United States is definitely in
volved in the question of admament.
There is in the United States a large
munition manufacturing going on,
although the public may not know
it. Among the companies are the
Du Pont Co., Colt Co., Remington
Co., Bethlehem Steel Co.
England is the greatest exporter of
armaments in the world. The Vieker-
Armstrong Co. sells annually $100,-
000.000.worth of armaments to other
countries. This company has a huge
research staff under its president, a
staff which is constantly working for
improvements. The company’s trus
tees are men of nobility, and are
interested in financial organization.
These men made great profits from
the sale of arms during the war.
Another munitions company in Eng-
l:ind is the Vickers Co. It was be
gun in 1S29, and although it made
slow progress at first, is now a great

HEAD OF ENGLISH DEPT.
MAKES THIRD TALK
ON BIBLE AT Y. P. M.
Illustration of Biblical Influ
ence on British and Amer
ican Writings Cited
The third talk In the series com
memorating the 400th anniversary of
the printed English Bible was given
at V. P. M., Wednesday morning.
Dr. Pearl V. Willoughby, head of the
English department, spoke on “The
Influence of the Bible in British and
American Literature.”
Dr. Willoughby stated that even
before the English translation of the
Bible, Bible stories were dramatized
and uiiiacte plays were given. In
some communities there were cycles
of these dramas, ahvays with the
same theme, that of the forces of
good and evil contesting for the
soul of man.
The translation of the Bible into
English spurred on the Puritan move
ment. Bible language was used and
Biblical names were given to chil
dren. During the seventeenth cen
tury several literary phenomena ap
peared, the outstanding one being
Bimyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress.”
The only book that Bunyan ever read
was the Bible, and it seems that with
his lack of education and low social
status it was nearly impossible that
he should have prod,uced such a
masterpiece.
Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” an en
largement on the story of the exile
from Eden also depicts the struggle
of good against evil for the soul of
man.
The Bible has been an important
factor in the staljilization of the
English vocabulary. 'While the Eng
lish language contains some 400,000
words, the Bible has only 6,000, but
the words in the King James version,
are the basio words of the language,
In our present day language wo see
phrases from (he Bible, such as
‘ ‘ wife of thy bosom, ” “ still small
voice” “a drop in the bucket,”
“salt of the earth,” “fat of the
land,” and mony others. Titles of
|)opular books are also taken from
the Bible such as Bennett’s “Gate

MRS. FRED SCHWALBE
SPEAKS AT VESPERS
Mother of Fritz Pettusko
Is Topic
In introduction to her talk Sun
day evening, Mrs. Schwalbe told
how happy and delighted she was to
see her daughter Gertrude again,
how wonderful it was to see Salem’s
young girls serving Jesus as they
are now doing.
Prom Romans 15 she read the
13th verse, “My hope is built on
nothing,” and she said that many
people’s faces spell hoi>ele8.‘»ness in
stead of hoj)e, and then she told us
how one woman’s hopelessness and
despair were changed to hopefulness
and joy through the love of Jesus.
Fritz Pettuska, partly Russian,
the little Eskimo orphan boy who
is financed by the Salem girls, is the
son of the woman, Mrs. Schwalbe
told us about. He has a brother,
Robert, and a sister, Margaret.
Fritz’s mother was left an orphan
when and epidemic swept over the
Kuokakwin district. She was named
Duviok and later christened Elira.
Duviok had an awful life, as Eskimo
orphans ate treated most horribly by
the people who take them in. She
was finally taken into a kind mis
sionary’s home, educated and made
happy in the wonderful new atmo
sphere. She was an apt pupil and
she developed into a winsome Chris
tian woman later marrying Ivan Pet
tuska. Their home was one of love
and happiness. Ivan was transferred
to another station, then Duviok’s
health failed and she died in 1876.
Her lifo was short but its influence
will never die just as what we are
doing for little Fritz, her son, will
never die.
