Mary his mothar. and fell down, and
worshipped him: and when they had
opened their treasures, they presented

By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN
O GOES In part the story In
the King James Bible (1011)
of the birth of Christ and the
adoration of the "Three
Kings of the Orient"—Magi,
wise men—as told by St.
Matthe#. The Bible la
"Tbe Book" for every day In
Uie year, as shown by the
fact that It is Incomparably the
world's "best seller,
dally "The Christmas Book," for It is
the very fount of the Christmas In
spiration and of the Christmas spirit.
may quarrel among themselves. Funds
mentallsts and modernists may fiercely
dispute about the authority of the
Bible. The Reds may predict the de
cline and fall of Christianity. Never
theless, Christianity, after nineteen
centuries still remains the driving
power of the world. And the central
fact of Christianity Is Jesus Christ—
HI* life. His person, His teaching*. So
the Bible i* the Christian Book.
The four verses from fit Matthew's
account of the birth of Christ are
given exactly as found in the modern
printing of the King James Bible,
which Is still the accepted text with
many churchmen, notwithstanding the
many versions which the centuries
have brought. It is often called the
"Authorised Bible," for the reason
that It had the sanction of both the
English king and of English scholars.
The King James translation had in
ception in 1004 at a conference at
Hampton court. It was then deter
mined that a translation should be
made which could be accepted as,
fundamentally correct. Forty-seven
translators were named from the fore
most scholars of England. The first
draft was completed In 1000. Two
.years were devoted to revision. It
waa printed in London in 1011 by Rob
ert Barker.
That this translation was an Impor
Christianity' Is the driving power of
the world. Skeptics may point to the
World war as evidence that Chris
tianity has failed. Churches and sects

There are Infinite arguments of this

This James (1506-102.1) was the son
of Lord Damley and Mary Queen of
Scots. In 1567 he became James VI
of Scotland and In 1003 succeeded
Queen Elisabeth as James I. king of
England, Scotland and Ireland. He
was said by his contemporaries to be
the "wisest fool In Europe."

The King James version Is hy no
means the first English Bible. That
honor probably belongs to a manu
script translation of about 1880 by
John Wydlffe, the famous preacher,
from tbe Latin Vulgate,

his preface Wydlffe wrote, "The Bible

which Is suggestively similar to Lin
coln's flamous utterance in his Gettys

script copies of Wycllffe's translation
were made la not known ; eight of his
time are still In existence. It la
known, however, that these manu
script copies were In semi-secret cir
culation in England down to the end
of the Fifteenth century.
Now we come to the first complete
English Bible, the title page of which
la herewith reproduced. Its date la

from the "Douche and Latyn." as th©

translator was Miles Coverdale (1488
1568), and the printing was done In
Switzerland, probably In Zurlcb. It Is

"But of the tree of knowledge of

for in the day thou eatest thereof thou
shalt surely die."
A significant piece of decoration on
this title page Is that at the bottom
between the two scrolls. It quite
evidently represents King Henry VIII,
to whom the translation was dedi
cated by Myles Coverdale, presenting
this first complete English Bible to
church and civil dignitaries. Henry
VIH (1491-1547)—Bluff King Hal—the
king of many wives—procured In 1534
the passage of the Act of Supremacy
which severed the connection of the
English church with Rome and ap
pointed the king and bis successors
the protector and only supreme head
of the church and clergy of England.
So It was quite In order for him to
bring out a new version of the Bible.
An odd bit of decoration for the ti
tle page of a Bible Is the sugges
tion of the Order of the Garter, with
Its famous motto. This Is the high
est order of knighthood in Great Brit
ain. and Its membership Is about 50,
Including the sovereign, the Prince
of Wale* and 24 knights compan
ions. It was established by Edward
m (1312-77) about 1345. The legend
of it Is that at a state ball the
Countes» of Salisbury lost her garter,
which Edward picked up and placed
on hla own knee. His courtiers there
upon snickered, whereupon the king
exclaimed (aa we now write It) "Honl
soit qui mal y pense." This literally
means : "Shamed be he who thinks
evil of 1L" _We now translate It;
"Evil to him who evil thinks."
Suppose we put the king's utterance
conversely thus: "Good to him who
good thinks." That 1s not so very
far from "Peace on earth to men of
good will," as the Roman Catholic
Douay version of the Bible translates
the Christmas message.

Off listen to me,
Hepple," gald Hap
good Brown, aa he
got up from bl«
easy chair to wind
the clock and put
out the cat and
lock the back door.
"Listen to me. It'a
two days now till Christmas. Look at
that lot of packages over there on the
sofy that I've got to play Santy Claus
on. Think of the piles and plies of
bundle* jwe've sent out already; big
| bundles and little bundles, to Jim's
folks and John's folks. Salry's folk*
and Mandy*« folks, the preacher, the
orphans' home, the old cobbler, ths
washwoman and the newsboy. It's got
so that Christmas Is a nightmare.
Accordingly the next morning Hep
ple and Happy Brown started out «o
their last shop- -
ping tour before ■
C h r 1 s t m a s. As ■
they turned the ■
corner of the ■
main street they ■
came upon two P
children, a boy ®
and a girl, poorly
clad, w h o stood f
with their noses '
pressed against ^
the window of a
small shop, where
in were displayed *
a few cheap dolls v
and toys. They ^
were so engrossed
in their Inspection
of these articles
that they did not notice the man
and woman who stopped behind them
and listened to their childish prattle. -
"There's a Noah's ark," said the
boy. "The baby could play with that
a lot. There's animals Inside, and It
she'd play with one at a time It would
seem like new toys all the time."
"Yes. but there ain't no dolly In
there," said the girl. "She wants a
dolly. How much money you got,
Billy?"
Carefully drawing his hands from
his pants pocket, the boy opened his
fingers and slowly counted the few
pieces of change in his palm. "Thirty
two cents, Sissy, I haven't lost any
of it"

"Thirty-two cents! My. that's a lot
of money ! A lot of money, Billy, and
It took a long time to earn It and save
It. But—but somehow It isn't going to
buy much, is It Billy?"
"No, but thirty-two cents Is better
than nothing."
"Well, then, you could get the Noah's
ark ; that's only twenty-five cents.
Then you'd still have money left—how
much, Billy?"
"Fifteen and ten, that's twenty-five,"
carefully separating a dime and three
nickels from the rest of the little pile.
"See, Sissy, that leaves only seven
cents to get something for you.''
"For me? Hoi Never mind me. 1
don't want anything. I can dress the
dolly, you know, and play It's mine
when the baby's asleep. Maybe we
can find something for mother. Oh,
Billy, If we could get one of those
green wreaths with the red berries—
wouldn't It be lovely!"
"Mother needs stockings more than
anything else. Besides, the green
wreaths cost more than seven cents,
apiece, I'm afraid. Come on; let's go
In and see what they have got."
"Walt a min
ute." said Happy
Brown, putting
hts hand on the
boy's shoulder.
"Where do yon
children live?"
The boy's hand
closed tightly on
the few pieces of
money.
"Back on the
next street, near
the elevator. Why,
mister? Where are
you going r

baby."
"It ain't much of a place, mister.
And mother's washing, I guess. She
most always is."
"Never mind that. Come on, Hep
ple," turning to his wife, who was just
behind, with the girl's hand In hers. _
Their stay there was not long, but
was momentous for Billy's mother and
her little brood. Happy Brown bad
made Billy wildly happy by placing a
dollar bill In hla band and another in
Sissy's, and telling them to go on with
their Christmas shopping. He had left
a yellow-backed bill on the table un
der a plate. As he and Hepple turned
the corner he pulled out a notebook
and noted down as he muttered to
himself: "Coal, blankets, potatoes,
canned goods, apple»—here, Hepple,
take this money and get things for
those children. You know what they
want. I'm getting a few things the
mother needs."
"Ye*, but. Happy. I thought yoa'd
