R MODERN VERSION OF NEW TESTAMENT THE WORK OF CHICAGO PROFESSOR Quaint Dignity of King James Version Gives Place to Every- day Language of the Man in the Street - Goodspeed Testament Likely to Provoke Widespread Comment. A despatch from Chicago says: I says the Greek of the Testament is! The New Testament has again been 'not classical Greek, but common Syrian j revised, modernized, and set down in -Greek, that is why he believes itj twentieth-century colloquial terms! should be put in common language of that the present-day readers can read- to-day.

Even if -i I give away everything I own. and I give up my self, but do it in pride, not | love, it does me no good. Lovd is pa- i tient and kind. Love is not envious i or boastful. It does not put on airs. j It is not rude. It does not insist on its rights. It does not become angry. It is not resentful. It is not happy over injustice, it is only happy with truth. It will bear anything, believe in anything, hope for anything, en dure anything. Love will never die | out. If there is inspired preaching, it will pass away. If there is ecstatic speaPng, it will cease. If there is knowledge, it will pass away. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man I put away my childish ways. For now we are looking at a dim re- flection in a mirror, but then we shall see face to face. Now my knowledge is imperfect, but then I shall know as fully as God knows me. So faith, hope and love endure. These are the 1 great three, and the greatest of them is love." His translation of the miracle of feeding the multitude expressed in simple, direct English, follows: The disciples said to him Where can we get bread enough in this solitude to feed such crowds? Jesus said to them How many loaves have you? They said Seven, and a few small fish. Natural Resources Bulletin The Natural Resources Intel- ligence Service of the Depart- ment of the Interior at Ottawa aays: The dependence of one natur- al resource upon another in amply evidenced in the coal mining -industry of Nova Scotia. There are forty operating coal ir. tin- province, and these year produced 5,5o8;574 ton* jof- coal. The year- '1-313 sav *. largest oufj^ut ever raised*- over sever* miTiibn tons. To enable tie ,m!nes to be -op- erated, enormous quantities of timber are necessary, in the form of mine props, etc. Last year Canada's forests were drawn upon to supply 18,480,- 000 lineal feet of timbering equal to 3,500 miles. It is in- teresting to note, also, that there are 560 miles of track underground in the Nova Scotia coal mines.
