Atkins When We Test Eyes IT IS DONE PROPERLY jan church made Greek its everyday tongue until some time in the second | century, when it adopted Latin for | its ritual and services. Latin transla- tions then began to come into vogue, lone such translation of the whole | Bible being im circulation at Car- | thage before 250 A. D. The variations in these Latin ver- sions occasioned great dissatisfaction. There was need of some superior ver- | sion to take their place as a standard. There was one man eminently quali- {fied for this task, one of the best {scholars of the early Christian cen- turies, Jerome. He was especially | well qualified as a student of Hebrew. Born at Stridon on the border of the Dalmatia about 340 A.D., he moved in 379 to Antioch and after being for. a time in Constantinople, he went to Rome in 382. At the request of Pope Damasus, Jerome undertook a revision of the {old Latin version on the basis of {the old Greek text. He soon finished the New Testament and had done con- siderable work on the Old Testament | when the Pope died in 384. The |mext year Jerome settled in Bethle- hem where he founded two monas- teries. He continued his work of revision until he became convinced that the need was not so much for a | revision as for an entirely new trans- ! lation of the Old Testament from the Hebrew. This he undertook and in about fifteen years completed his | great life work. The friends of the | sidering that he had greatly under- | mined the authority of that version NOT UNLIKELY. The new maid-of-all-work had been sent down to the brook to fetch a pail of water but stood gazing at the flowing stream, apparently lost in thought. "What's she waiting for?" said her mistress, who was watching. "I dunno," wearily replied hubby. "Perhaps she hasn't seen a pailful she likes yet.""--* Topics of the Day" Films. BIFF! BANG!

CATCHING A | $1,300 WHALE | ra 4 Writing from Capetown, South Africa, L. G, Greene says: It was from Table Bay that I set oft on a whaling cruise: during the next two days I learned why "skipe pers of these little ships make over five thousand dollars. Every man on board was a Nor. weglan, These hardy Norsemen are found in whalers and on whaling stations all over the world, Barly in the morning, our first at sea, I saw the feathery column of spray that betrayed the presence of a whale, The man in the mast: head barrel had seen it first, and his loud shout of "Bla-a-a.ast" (mean- ing 'There she hlows"), brought the skipper on deck, ° He jammed the telegraph to "Full ahead," and soon we came close to the light blue shape, just below the | .
