First Printed Bible
Now 400 Years Old
Dr. C. Rexford Raymond Tells
of Birthday on October
Fourth, 1535
Annual Moore County Fair to
Openin Carthage October ISth
By DR. C. REXFORD RAYMOND
On October 4th, 1535, the first
English version of the Bible in print,
ed form was completed. This has
been called “the most important
event in the cultural history of the
English-speaking world,” and will be
marked by a series of celebrations.
An English New Testament had been
printed in 1525 in Cologne by William
Tyndala and copies of it were smug,
gled into England but the church au
thorities then in power in England
forbade its circulation. After Tyn.
dale’s execution and the change in
church government under King Hen.
ry VIII, Miles Coverdale used Tyn.
dale’s translation of the New Tes.
tament and Luther’s German version
to issue the entire Bible printed in
English and its circulation was au.
ithoi-ized by the king.
It was printed in Zurich and the
title page states that it weis t,rans.
lated out of the German and Latin
versions. The Latin version weis, the
famous Vulgate Bible, translated in
380 by Jerome, the Bible of Europe
and the entire Christian world for
more rthan a thousand years. An
earlier translation of the Bible by
Wycliff in 1384, based on the Vulgate,
• in manuscript, was approved more
by the common people than by the
priests and the nobility. Even after
the invention of printing this trans.
lation was not published in printed
form.
Because of Coverdale's use of Tyn.
dale’s version, the Bible of 1635 is
often called the Tyndale.Coverdale
version. The influence of this first
printed English Bible was enormous.
Between 1535 and 1570 several oth.
er versions of the Bible in English
appeared in England, largely based
on the Tyndale.Coverdale version.
One version, the so.called “Cranmer”
Bible, the second edition of the
“Great” Bible, issued in 1540, and
authorized for use in the churches,
is notable because the Psalms in this
translation are still used in the
Prayer Book of the English Church.
When the Authorized Version, some,
times called the King James Bible,
appeared in 1611, the Psalms in the
Prayer Book were so entrenched in
the affection of the people by usage
that the new translation was ignor.
ed. This “Cranmer” Bible was also
brought out under Coverdale’s sup.
ervision; and the Psalter was prac.
ticaJJy identical with his version of
1535. When the Prayer Book was re.
vised in 1662, after the publication of
the King James “Authorized” Ver.
Sion, the Coverdale Psalter was pre.
ferred because, to use the words of
th revisers, “the choirs were familiar

An extremely favorable climate is
one of the most important of the many
advantages of the Carolinas.
It should be borne in mind there is
a vast difference between Climate and
Weather. Climate is a fixed condition,
reckoned in terms of years, while Weather
is a temporary factor. Climate has a vital
bearing on permanent things, such as
crops, pleasure and conditions in general
while Weather indicates yesterday’s or
today’s temperature or whether it will
rain tomorrow.
Annual mean temperature ranges
from 48 degrees in the mountains to 63
on the Coast. Annual mean temperature
for the mountain region as a whole is 55
degrees.
This- mild and favorable Climate
naturally has an important bearing on
agriculture and the physical comfort of
Carolinians. In the trucking sections the
last killing frost occurs a month earlier
in the Spring and a month later in the
fall than in the high altitudes of the West.
Clear skies prevail a great portion of
the time and tornadoes are practically
unknown. Yet rainfall is amply sufficient
for agricultural and power needs and
good crops abound. These conditions
not only are conducive to agricultural
success but make th« Carolinas the
natural and logical playgrounds of
eastern America.
