from Jeon Jacques Rousseau:

Somehow as I walked back to the
office from lnnch (where my friend
quoted Rousseau). I thought that the
Idea was a good one to pass on. Here
we go through life, grabbing, grabbing,
grabbing—yet seldom getting anything
worth while. Money, fame and all the
rest—yet passing over the things which
In later years we might clutch to our
bosoms and find comfort In.
The war provides a great opportu­
nity for all of us to get rich—rich with
the rewards that come to those who
serve. Don't let the chance go by. If
you can’t fight give to the Red Cross,
give to the T. M. C. A., buy Liberty
bonds, buy War Savings stamps. Give,
serve, spend. Spend that you may re­
ceive. Have some part In the common
lot Do something—the happy recol­
lection of which you will carry with
you In the years to come.
Private Peat tells In a magazine ar­
ticle this month of the most tender,
gentle thing he ever saw a soldier do.
He tells how upon asking a soldier who
was shivering with cold and pain what
had become of his overcoat, the soldier
answered: ‘‘Oh. my pal was killed back
there, and he looked So cold, lying
there In the rain, that I took off my
coat and put It over him."
Tell ns—did you ever hear of any­
body richer thnn that poor, freezing
hoy who laid his coat over his dead
paL as a final mark of affectlonat’e
service? Wouldn't you like to be aa
rich as that?

TO TRANSLATE BIBLE
Considerable Amount of Ingenuity Re­
quired to Make Words Fit Sav­
age Knowledge.
How much do you eupopse an Es­
kimo knows ubout an olive? Or a
Hottentot about cherubim? Or a can­
nibal about the Holy Ghost?
That's why the men and women who
translate the Bible Into pagan lan­
guages have to use a greater amount
of Ingenuity and Imagination than
anything else, observes a writer tn the
World Outlook.
It must have been a very pleasant
person who finally suggested to the
mingled relief and amusement of the
tired workers, that “the lamb of God"
might just aa well be translated “the
little seal of God.” In the Eskimo Bible.
Eskimo children have the same ten­ 31
derness toward the funqy little things
with their mournful eyee and soft fur
that other children have toward baby
21
sheep.
Th«. Eskimo SUU* waa ano of the
most difficult to translate, and has just
been finished after 250 years of work.
Of course, to a half frozen, ftir-clad 5j
people, living in Igloos—or Is It han- 231
poons?—and surrounded by polarJ)eara 31
Tn
and walruses, It Is next to Impossible
to translate the story of the bright
colored, snn-drenched holy land. The
language of r. northern people la nec­
essarily lacking tn dozens of words
and phrases, and, too often, even
Ideas.
But Bible translating Is like Greek
grammar—there'* an exception to
every rale. The Zulus live In a coun­
try as warm and tropical as the holy
land on the pleasantest of days, but
the Zulu Bible has offered about as
many difficulties as any respectable
task has a right to offer.
In the first place, the earliest trans­
lation was made by more than thirty
people working Independently. Despite
Its Inaccuracy and Inconsistency it
was extremely popular among the na­
tives; It even shaped Zulu thought so
completely that every paragraph of
the Zulu newspaper teems with Bible
vocabulary. But It was inaccurate.
Many of the mistakes were, of course,
extremely amusing.
The translators
found to their surprise that instead of
crossing the Red sea and the Jordan
dry shod, the children of Israel went
over thirsty. And a literal transla­
tion of the promise that enemies should
melt sway before them, was discovered
to mean in Zulu Idiom th-' their en­
emies should be as happy as men full
of beer.
In 1901 a new translation was be-
gun. There was still many dlfficul-
ties. How were the translators, for
Instance, to describe as In Isaiah 3,
18-24, the entire wnrdrobe of a Jewess
at the height of the nation’s civiliza­
tion to the Zulu debutante who in the
heaviest winter season wears little
more thaD a string of scarlet beads?
On the Chennel Petrol.
“The weather round about here has
been too damnable for words lately,
and life on a patrol boat has been no
cinch. Came down harbor yesterday
in a regular blizzard—could barely se$

Inches of snow all over the ship—freez­

packet rolls about like a slck-head-
ache. It’s no joke monkeying about in
a tiny craft of this size, hunting ‘tin
fishes.’ In daylight it's bad enough,
but at night It's extremely dangerous,
as one can’t see the seas and one’s
liable to half swamp one's self In turn­
ing. And as far as any comfort below
goes, there Isn’t any. Everything Is
