BRING" WITH LINCOLN
You are -coming back now from sum
mer play and idleness, from the sweet
green woods and the blue ocean, from
lake or camp, back to the' towns and
cities, to. school and work, to long winter
evenings and busy winter days. You
will find it good to read some of Lincoln's
writings, with their high appeal to all
that. is most generous and elevated and
human, in its best sense, within us. A
half hour every now and then spent in
his society is surely worth an effort
what would you not give to sit with him
just one half hour? And yet there is so
much of him in his words that too often
we let pass unread and unnoted. The
Gettysburg address is probably the most
perfect specimen of his style, of clarity,
conciseness and universality of his
thought, and of the tenderness and beauty
of his heart; but everything he wrote is
worth reading, as everything he did .is
worth remembering Ex.
CHANGING A COMMA
The Bible publication houses in Eng
land have made some little' change of
the text of the Scriptures in the shifting
of a comma, which occurs in the Lord's
prayer, says the Ohio State Journal.
The text as it now reads, "Thy will be
done in earth, as it is in heaven," which
is being changed so the comma appears
after the word done, so that the sentence
reads, "Thy will be done, in earth as it is
in heaven."
., Of course this transition of the comma
does not change the sense of the sen
tence,' but it does seem to emphasize the
duty of 'making a heaven in earth. But
even this change, as slight as it is, would
hardly be justified if the Greek original
did not have the comma after done.
In obdeb to secuee a change of ad
dress, subscribers to The Chemawa
American must give old as well as new
address to insure prompt attention
