Advertisement DARE WE PAY THE PRICE? Thia year of nineteen twenty-five ia memorable as the four hundredth anniversary of the translation of the New Testament from the Greek lan guage into the language of the com mon people of the English race. . The cost of the gift of the open Bible "in the language of the masses" of the nations and tribes of men, con stitutes a long, a glorious, but a tragic chapter in history. Not a foot of its progress has been made but the foot- printa of its messengers have been marked with their own blood. No one can think seriously of this without asking the question, why is this so? And with thia question the other, What has been the motive that haa prompted the persistent deter mination for its distribution? and why the opposition? Has the con tention been marked, by each of the opposing forces', by simply brutish spite and defiance? I answer, on neither side has it been aimply by spite or defiance. It exists immeasurably deeper than these tem pers. No one can read the life sketches of the men who have kept its teachings imperishable, without being convinced, and deeply impressed with the fact that they have been men of marked sincerity, and of earnest yearning for the uplift and best wel fare of their own, and other people, and have alike seen in the scriptures the greatest transforming agency known to men. But why the opposition? ' Some thing far deeper than "spite" or "de fiance" has marked the activity. No where under the sun ia there to be found words so penetrating, and per sonal, and universal in their applica tion. No man can entertain sin in his life and read its pages without feeling a sting of guilt and condem nation. Turn where he will, the "handwriting" is on the wall. The sinner and the Bible have never been pleasant company. The greatest proof of its divine origin is in the hate which the ungodly have for it. This contention is a Jiving issue, and will be to the end of time. The loss of the Bible to the public school it- no less a product of this warfare than the consignment to the flames of the unfinished work of Tyndale, of the burning of his body at the stake. To preserve the open Bible is not a whit less an issue today than when Wycliff, and Erasmus, and Tyndale, and Luther stood as martyrs to its truth. The widespread scoff, of ridicule of today is no less a weapon in the hands of its enemies than was the faggot and the cross of ages past. The burlesque insiduously injected into almost every movie film is an insult to decent thought and a crime against human life. The cost of the past has been great. The cost of the winking attitude of parenthood of today, will be written in the blasted lives of the childhood of America to the third and fourth generation. Dare we pay the price? E. C.
