Here is the first of a series of ten articles telling the fascinating story of the Bible, from its earliest known versions to the printed volume of today. Every article has an interest of its own, and the whole forms a continuous ’story of the origin and development of the one Book that is in a class by it- self as the world's best seller. Dr. E. E. Braithwaite, B.D., Ph.D, the author, is a noted Canadian writer on Biblical and historical subjects. T The Bibles that are in common use in our homes today are the descend- ants of a number of earlier versions, some of which will be described in a later article. _ The Bible was originally written in two languages, Hebrew and Greek, many centuries before the invention of printing. During that period the text was copied and recopied by many generations ot scribes, for hundreds ot years in the case of the New Testament, and for thousands of years in the case of the Old Testa- ment.

Two possible readings might even be mutually contradictory. GDSNWHR could be "God is now here”, or "God ismowhdre." The variation between versions shows that this is what actually happened. In I. Chron. 17:10 the Greek version read certain consonants as one word, making the meaning "and I shall make the great" while the Hebrew text, as reflected in our version, separated them into two words, signifying, "Moreover I tell thee:" In'Psalm 106:7, where the Hebrew has two words which we translate "at the sea," the Septuagint read one, to be translated going up. There are many similar irrgta"ii6'ii'ir"" Another set of cases indicates that the scribes sometimes wrote from dictation, variations being due to the ear instead of the eye. ,There are two entirely different Hebrew words, one meaning "not" and the other "his" or "its"z_but both pronounced alike, "lo". The translations show that some scribes wrote one word when the other was intended just as we might write "air" for "heir", it someone were dictating to us. In Psalm 100:3 the authorized and the Revised versions show the two possi- bilities, the translations being re- spectively, "It is he that hath made 11s and not ourselves," and "It is he that hath made Us and we are his." These are some ot the circum- stances which have given us differ-. ent translations or-certain passages and different versions of the Bible 'as a whole. Most of the variations, however, are relatively unimportant. One Biblical scholar declares that not one of them "affects an article of faith or a precept of duty which is not abundantly sustained by other and undoubted passages, or by the whole tenor of Scripture reading." (Copyrighted by British and Col- onial Press, Limited). ' This would often render uncertain the reading that was intended in a given place. If we had simply the three consonants BRD, the word rep- resented might be any _of the fol- 1owing,--bard, bird, brad, bred, bride, bored, etc. It might be that more than one of these words would be appropriate for a given sentence, e. g., "the bird sang beautifully,' or. "the bride sang beautifully." The context would often determine the word to be chosen. Next article: Re of Great Manuscripts AN EMERGENCY STARTEE It sometimes happens that the starter fails to work and the hand crank has been left at home or mis- laid, The first thought of most mo- torists on such occasions is to Joolr around for another car to start the engine by towing the car with the gears engaged. Usually this means more or less delay in waiting for the car to appear, arranging for hitch- ing up, etc. The situation is doubly difficult if the ear refuses to start when in the garage and the hand crank is not available. There is an easy way to get the engine going, however, which any motorist can em- ploy without assistance. ploy without assistance.. By jacking up one of the rear wheels securely, putting the gears in high and turning the uplifted wheel in the direction in which it revolves when driving the car forward,, you will find that a few turns will start the engine. Be sure to place your gearshift lever in neutral, however, before letting down the jacked-up wheel or the car will plunge forward with resultant damage, and you will have the work to do all over again.

The marginal readings with which we are familiar, testify not only ‘ to the different translations that are possible for a given text, but, Show also that there was considerable variety in the text itself. This is partly explained by the early, form of Hebrew writing, in which there was at one time no division between the words, while there were no vowels in use 'until some time between 600 and 900 A. D., the division into verses and chapters coming several cen- turies later. tions naturally crept in, original texts gradually bo through the fortunes of T etc. As a result no origins script of the Scriptures h down to our time.

Besides, Mr. Harris claims that the fruit, though smaller, is of superior quality and better color from orchards under sod. HoweVer, each orchard gets an'arr- nual mulching of manure, a stipula- tion included in the agreement made between Mr., Harris and the owners of the smaller orchards. Most of these are held on one-year leases, which have been found more satistac- tory than those running to five and ten years, which have also been'tried. Good Set of Fruit There is a good showing of fruit in Mr. Harris' orchards this year, and the fruit is quite clean, in spite ot the unfavorable season. "Scab is as bad this year, generally speak- ing, as I have ever seen it," said Mr. Harris. -In bad scab years he favors Bordeaux for the second; spray in preference to lime-sulphur. Jn, a neighboring orchard, owned by an- other grower, there was an extreme- ly poor set of fruit, although it was cultivated and unusually well cared for. Discussing ithiS, this grower suggested that spraying with 'too great pressure might seriously in- jure the set fruit. Lawson Caesar, Provincial Entomologis, to whom this theory was later referred, by The Globe, said that too great force from a spray-gun might knock off large numbers of the little apples. However, Mr. Caesar observed, the fault generally lay in the other direc- tion - not spraying thoroughly enough. This authority advised IIB- ing the spray-gun' tor the upper branches of trees, (and the ordinary rod-attachment for the lower limbs, which would avoid this danger from .too mueh pressure. sprofrriii'CTeaity Mr. Caesar, continually presented new problems that had to be met with intelligence, and which could not be solved by going at them hit- or-miss style. Problem of Neglected Orchards Mr. Harris' plan of taking small farm drchards on lease might well be followed in other parts of Ontario. Outside of the specialized apple sec- tions, where most of the riiai(.tjj'1,.e1,s,s, are large, there are many districts where almost every farm has a mature orchards from twent/y to thirty yearsold. During the 'war, and since, the great majority ot these smaller orchards have been neglected by their owners, most of whom have been content to get enough apples from them to supply their domestic needs. Mr. Harris claims that his method has been emi- nently satisfactory from the stand- point of the farmers who own the orchards, most of them netting sev- eral hundred dollars a year from a few acres that if uncared for would pay them nothing. In addition, such a scheme places the orchard man- agement in the hands ot specialists, ing barrels last winter in sod l would be 2 practice wi and the business is then big enough to warrant proper equipment which small individual orchards could not support. It seems the most. prac- tical way of handling the small orchards, which if neglected are ‘not only unproductive, but a positiye menace to healthy plantations.
