-' Blank-' Terse The Work of Professor
; HnJIV and the Thirty-eight JSminent
Scholars Who Assisted. Qlm. .
Since the authorized cdltton -of Kins
. James the Bible has been issued by "vari
ous sets of editors, each of whom have
made such, changes as seemed necessary,
but never before hag such radical revision
been attempted as in the edition soon to
appear under the name of the poiycJtrome
Bible. In $his not only sweeping changes
liave been made, but decided innovations
have been introduced. The most startling
of these Js the use of -many colored" back
. croundsfor the printed text in order to
show the different periods at which schol
ars have decided that the various sections
were written. Another innovation is the,;
use of illustrations copied from, ancient
architectural ruins. 1
The idea of the polychrome Bible orig
lnated with Professor Paul Haupt of Johns
Hopkins university, Baltimore, a gentle
' man who has gained an international rep
ntation bv his remarkable discoveries in
Assvrioloerv and other Semetic branches.
For a scientist Professor Haupt is an in
.tensely practical man. He realized that
the "time had come when the results at
" tained by scholars who had given many
years to the study of the Bible in the orig
should be . given to the people in a
compact and simple ' form. For years it
has v been generally understood that
; through the process of translating and r-
translating "much ox the original meaning
of the Bible had become corrupted, bchoi
' arsbave also discovered that different por
?; tiohs of the books" of the Bible were writ
ten at different times by different authors
To indicate the period and authorship Pro
' fessor Haupt devised, the plan of using
tinted backgrounds for the text, each tint
to correspond to a particular period. So
novel was this, plan that a patent was
i ; granted to him by the United States patent
'" office. .
NL In order to sum up the results of schol
r arly research Professor Haupt arranged
that the work of the new edition should
be parceled out among eminent scholars
"of various denominations and countries.
. This has been done, and the editor of each
book has not only aimed to make a ' new
and correct translation from the original
Hebrew, but to rearrange the text and
render; in, unmistakable modern English
. the precise meaning of the original.
For eight years the work has been under
way, and now the first results are appear
lngi Instead of one 6ulky and expensive
volume the books of the Bible are being
nan in tne " actltuae or. Christians toward
the Bible. It antagonizes the old doctrine
of literal and mechanical inspiration. The
38 Biblioal scholars who are engaged in
thff work are all devout believers in- the
Bible, but they have mot been able or will
ing to close their eyes to the fact that its
pages are full of inaccuracies and contradictions.
Bightly recognizing that such discov
eries would be harmful if an attempt
should be made to keep them secret from
the mass of the people, the next thing to be
done was td rewrite the Bible according
to the new light which this mass of in
formation shed. 7 This has been done,, and
the result is the polychrome Bible.' It
sums up the result of the best Biblical
scholarship in such a simple form that any
layman can read and understand it.
The first step to be taken was to reduce
the various books to the original Hebrjaw
that they might be kept for all time for
the tise of scholars. Ten of these books A
have been issued, but the mass of Bible
readers are more interested in the new
EJhglish versions which are now in the
press, one ox tnese dooks, isaian, nas
been edited by Professor T. K. Uheyne, an
English scholar of wide repute and canon
of Rochester. He has devoted the last 3U
years to a study of Isaiah and has pub
lished five large volumes concerning it.
The book of Psalms was placed in the
hands of the famous German professor
Julius "Wellhausen, who, instead of giving
the stiff prose of the common versions, has
rendered all the verses metrically nd pre
sented the great poems in true poetic
form. The familiar verses, Psalms ii, 1-3,
appear in the polychrome version thus:
Why do the heathen rage
And the people devise what is vain ?
The kings of the earth contrive plots
And the princes take connsel together
Against JHVH and against his anointed,
"Their bonds we will break asunder
And their, cords we will cast away from us."
In the common versions . these verses ap
pear thus:
lVlhy da the heathen rage and the people
imagine a vain thing?
2. The kings of the earth set themselves and
the rulers take counsel together against the
Lord and against his anointed, saying:
8. Let us break their bands asunder and cast
away their cords from us.
The color device is used in this way:
The prophecies of the real first Isaiah ap
pear on white, uncolored paper; passages
by the ancient editors of the book on light!
blue; poetic or prophetic passages, written,
neither by Isaiah noybyhe ancient edi
tors, on light red, and so on. Besides the
numerous illustrations taken from ancient
monuments there are explanatory notes,
brief, pointed, butrcomprehenslve. These
are some of the features which make the
polychrome Bible a unique addition to
ecclesiastical and sacred literature.

..!'.-. .?
The ' Man .Belonged to a Xoble French
Family, trat Was an Impoverished XSx
He Original of the Portrait the Cause
of TTU Family's Bnin. .
The family had rented a house in -the
mountains not far from New York. The
region had been settled as early as any in
the ootmtrv hereabout, and the houses
were as fine specimens of old colonial resi
dences as anv available for summer occu
nancv. i So the New York family settled
themselves there with satisfaction. The
house had been for a great many years
the home of a family well known in the
history of the United States.
The usual decorations of the house were
not disturbed by the summer tenants.
The family portraits hung about-the walls,
and over the mantel in-xme room was the
picture of a woman-' Just who she was
the summer occupants of the house toqk
no trouble to learn.
There came to this old country, town a
young foreigner who had an Amerioan
wife. He was cultivated, ' refined, polite,
everything that a man of old title and
srood position should be. But there were
some Qualifications for his place in une
world that he did not possess. .He was.
poor, desperately poor, with a threatening
burden of debt. His wife had nothing
beyond her beauty and her devotion to
hlTri. Xtwas late in the autumn when
they arrived, and the, first of their visits
to the country brought them to this old
village. They knew the New Yorkers liv
ing in the old house and an invitation
brought them to the place.
Pure accident led the young nobleman
to stand after dinner with his elbow on
the mantel under the portrait of the
woman. The room was large and shad
owy, and the lights were low. Probably
he never saw the face.
Possibly he would not have recognized
it. But it had, nevertheless, exercised a
large influenoe upon his fortunes. It was
through the influence of the woman whose
portrait hung in the living room of the old
New Enaland house that tnis young man
was An exile from his own land because
he had not the fortune to live there, and
this although she died before he was born.
... 4 . 1 1 J.
One of the cruests at dinner .that nigni
kneW the original of the portrait and her
history. He ,knew the young man, too,
and when he saw him and the portrait so
close together the "long arm of coinci
("flnftfi" RRomed to have reached as far as
it could stretch.
' "The voung man who was standing to
niffht under thatr woman's portrait," the
guest said, "might have carried one of the
most exalted titles in Europe today and
might have had one of the largest private
fortunes had it not been for that woman.
She was nerhaps the innocent cause of this
vmiTver man's ill fortune, just as she was
supposed to have borne no part in the evil
that brought a famous trageay on nis an
cestors. She was an English governess in
the f amilv of a French duke. He was rich
and his family ranked with the oldest
His wife was as proud as 'he was, ana
when there came into her mind a distrust
of the English woman's honesty and the
duke's fidelity, it was not a matter which
she allowed to pass with the lightness
whinh rieonle are accustomed to associate
with matters of this kind in French socie
ty. She demanded that the girl be driven
from the house, hurriedly and ignomln
iously, with no chance for question or jus
tification. The duke defended her and
himself from his wife's charges, and said
that the woman could leave the house un
der circumstances in which she could oar
pv TKpr .mnutation with her. But he re
fused to turn her out at his wife's com
mand. The duchess went, so long as tu.e
English woman was allowed to remain
"After awhile the duchess returned to
her home. It was understood that the
English governess was to leave, now that
her1 departure would not reflect on her
good name. The night on which the"
duchess came back found her husband
i preparing to take his children out to an
. i t m M amA rftVtiYr vcsvmiitn
leave 'PranxieY Che came wTThe United
States.. She was the wife of the man who
owned this . house, and it is her portrait
that hangs over the spot where that young
man stood and smoked his cigarette. The
family fortunes were lost through her indirect-
agency, and the family name was
never so proud again But I don't believe
he knew whose the portrait was." New
