THE NEW TESTAMENT
THE first books of the New
Testament "read in churches"
with the Old Testament selections,
were apostolic letters, notably those
of Paul, and inclini
ng ing generally,
though not invari-
ably, the longer
m episties of John,
m Peter and James.
W When the Gospels
W appeared they were
immediately used
lVJ
in like fashion, and
at once assumed a
place . of priority,
not because any one
nil
in authority said it
RniM R.o. must be so but be
cause they were so
important and so interesting. For
a good while there was no attempt
to make complete collections. Few
churches had all the New Testa
ment books and many had other
books, as the Epistle of Clement
and the Shepherd of Hermas, which
were loved.
When discussion began as to
which books ought to be read reg
ularly, there was immediate agree
ment on the most important ones,
the four Gospels and the larger
epistles. There was a good deal of
doubt about Revelation and Second
Peter and the two short epistles
of John, which were relatively un
important, as was then acknowledg
ed and is still evident. But grad
ually there came to be agreement,
not by authority but by the test of
general usage, and the translation,
and later the printing of the Bible,
finally fixed the list.

'JOHN JOSEPH GAINES
HEART AND MENTAL STRAIN
Some men endure mental strain
and worry better than others; but,
it still remains a fact that the
over-taxed brain, in any man, af
fords one of the most certain routes
to "death from a heart attack."
The case of former President
Wilson may be cited. His was a
brilliant mentality which was work
ed to more than capacity limit. I
never have known of a man who
endured greater strain, till the col
lagse and the crash. His circulation
gzvt way to cerebral hemorrhage.
The strain was the real cause of
death.
Then Warren Harding. A man
not fitted for bearing heavy mental
burdens that were his. He stimu
lated, laughed, struggled, and stead
ily weakened. It was the heart.
He dropped almost as from a gun
shot. IDEALS ...... the approach
I find no essential difference be
tween avowed objectives of all
the different groups which are
striving to put their ideas into ef
fect, all over the world. All are
actuated by the same ideal, that of
remaking the social and economic
order so that life will be easier,
or at least more bearable, for
everybody.
I am certain, however, that not
all of the methods by which na
tions are striving to reach that
goal can be right. Leaving per
sonal and party ambitions, jealous
ies and hatreds out of the ques
tion, some of the plans must be
wrong.
My feeling is that every plan to
make the world over will fail un
less and until it is approached as
a spiritual problem. Politics can
not instil the spirit of fair play and
tolerance; still less can war make
If any one asks whether we know
absolutely that every book in the
Old and New Testaments is holy
above all other books, the answer
is, We do not. No one can say
that Esther, which is in the Bible,
is nobler than Ecclesiasticus, which
has been dropped out; certainly it
is not so religious or so sweet in
its spirit. No one can say that the
Epistle of Jude is more inspired
than the Epistle of Clement. The
mountain range of Jhe Bible shades
off into foot-hills, and we do not
know just where the range begins
or ends. But the range is there,
towering magnificently above all
other literature. Scholars may dis
cuss its measurements and limits;
the theologically minded may battle
over its "inspiration." Let them
argue. What the world needs is
more folk to read.
We come now to the second
question, How were these chosen
books preserved through the ages
and passed down to us?
Until the invention of printing,
which was desired mainly that
the Bible might be published, copies
were made by hand, and errors in
evitably crept in, no matter how
scrupulous the c6pyists'j:are. Hence
in making translations it became
desirable to have as many of them
for comparison as possible. The
earliest manuscript copies that have
survived to our time date from the
fourth century A. D., and the story
of one of them, the Sinaitic, will il
lustrate the vicissitudes through
which they have passed.

THE FAMILY
DOCTOR
President Coolidge. I could not
call him either a physical or mental
giant, rather a plain, honest little
fellow, capable within certain lim
its. The big fellows did his figur
ing, while he wondered what it was
all about. Sensing catastrophe he
announced, "I do not choose to
run." Self-preservation warned he
heeded the message, maybe not
knowing exactly why. At least he
never explained. His heart, it was
and the end.
I could name many others, if
space permitted, where men simply
strained themselves into the most
certain of deaths from heart dis
ease. Yet men keep o.n doing it.
My object in this letter is, to urge
YOU to avoid worrying over affairs
that you cannot alter to suit your
self. An old farmer near me has lived
to 105; I never knew him to wor
ry over anything.
for brotherly love. But social jus
tice and economic security will be
idle words, signifying nothing, un
til those spiritual ideals rule the
world.
MONEY changes
Money .and customs concerning
money are constantly changing. I
don't know how many local names
there are for the sum represented
by 12 1-2 cents. In my boyhood
it used to be called a "York Shill
ing," and not many years ago I
still heard rural residents of New
York calculating in terms of shill
ingseight to the dollar. Our
"New England Smiling," on the
other hand, was a sixth of a dol
lar 16 2-3 cents.
In the South, as far north as
Virginia, 1 used to hear 12 1-2
cents called a "Levy." J do not
know whether the term is still in
use or not. But I hear western
friends refer to a quarter as "two
bits." I H !
I can remember when no actual
coin smaller than a five-cent piece
circulated on the Pacific Coast or
in the Deep South. Newspapers all
sold for a nickel, and all the store
prices were in multiples of five
cents. A San Francisco merchant
nearly caused a riot by bringing in
a few tons of pennies and marking
goods in odd-cent prices.
COINS proposed
The Treasury is proposing to is-
sue new kinds of money. Half
cent pieces, of copper, and one mill
a tenth of a cent coins of
aluminum, may soon come into use.
The need for these coins arises
from the sales taxes in many states.
The suggestion of the new coins
takes me back to boyhood, when
many coins were common which
have long since vanished. The big
copper half-cents were often seen,
but commoner was the two-cent
piece, made of bronze and some
what larger than the one-cent
piece. Then we had two kinds of
three-cent pieces, ' one of nickel,
about the size of a dime, and one
very much smaller, made of silver.
Silver five-cent pieces were in
common use in the 1870s. We also
used to see twenty-cent silver
coins, about the size of a nickel.
It seems to me that the one new
coin that is most needed is a 2l2
cent piece. It would find a variety
of uses, especially in buying items
now sold "two for a quarter."
FORESTRY up our way
Early the other morning I heard
the sound of woodsmen's axes, fol
lowed by the crashing of a falling
tree. In the clear mountain air the
sounds carried for a long distance.
What I heard was an echo, re
flected from the steep side of
Stockbridge Mountain. The chop
pers were at work two miles away,
in one of Noble Turner's pine lits,
on the slope of Tom Ball Moun
tain. Next morning I heard the stri
dent song of a buzz-saw. Will See
ley had set up his portable sawmill
and was slicing the pines into
boards almost as fast as the axe
men could cut them down.
Noble Turner tells me that the
most profitable of all crops is trees.
He owns several thousand acres of

MULES ....... war steeds
The preparations for war in East
Africa have sent up the price of
American mules!
Even in these days of mechan
ized transport, you can't get men,
guns and supplies across African
deserts and mountains without the
aid of the mule. So Mussolini, I
learn from a friend who has been
busy buying up Missouri's most
famous livestock product, is col
lecting mules from all over the
world.
I remember in the last impor
tant African war, between the
British and the Boers, another
friend who made a comfortable
fortune by sending several ship
loads of Missouri mules to South
Africa and selling them to the
British army.
War anywhere in the world af
fects all the rest of the world.
