Profeaaor Goodapeed told of the work of the translator 400 year* ago and the difficulty* ha labored under. Not even Oxford univemity W*« teaching Greek In 1500, and Tyn dala had to go elaewhere to ret auek a knowledge of it a* ho could. Eras mua had had only eight manuacripta fmm which to make hia Greek text and these wriVJfitr lOth-lftth century : orrupt manuscripts. Hia adition waa made in leaa than a roar. It waa Tyndale'i version that waa later to form the haaia for the Kin* Jamea' veraion. made in 1611. We have today Professor Goodxpeod Mya, over 4000 Greek manuacripta of the New Testament; leaa than 440 were known in 1811. "It will he our fault." he declared, "if wa make no uae of thia material, such material aa Erasmus or Tyndale never dreamed of. The acience of the Greek New Testament hax entirely been written in tha laat (feneration. Shall we re main ignoramuses in the prmwnee of the new learning* ?" It wax Tyndale'a declared purypae Profeasor Goodapeed told, to Make the New Testament Intelligible to the plowboya of England. He wanted the people to read it and understand It. The poorly educated received it arith thankx and praiae. We today have kept the Bible from tha plain people, because we have failed to put it into a language they can read and underatand. In making dear the monumental labor of scholars ia recent yean, he told of the work of many BritUh scholar*, three of whom, Lightfoot, Westcott and Hoyt, took 28 yean to j correct the Greek text according to all available new information. Light I has been thrown on paaaagee and meaning of words long obscure. The New Testament ia not in classi cal or literary Greek, Professor Good speed says. It is in the common lan guage of ereTyday life. If critics will explore the evidence they will not differ with this conclusion. "1 am not jazzing the Bible or chipping at the Cathedral, as some critics maintain," he said. "I am not re writing the King James' version to salt myself. But no version, litstiM wsll dm.

AMfA At C II i the universal car TkwStoadfikr Business men—with whom the runabout has always been very popular—are well pleased with the changes embodied in this model. Always rugged, the car has been made decidedly trimmer and more comfortable. This result is obtained by raising the radiator and enlarging the cowl; making a decided improvement in looks and providing more leg room. A well designed top and slanting windshield do their share toward adding a finished, clean-cut appearance. Make it a point to see the other new models also on display in the nearest Ford dealer's show room. These cars can be obtained through Uu Ford Weekly Purchase Plait. Granite City Motor Co.
