AN OLD AND WELL TRIED REMEDY. When writing advertisers please mention The Golden Age. WORK OF THE BIBLE SOWERS. Seventy Million Bibles in 150 Lan guages Distributed in 88 Years. “The headquarters of the most fas cinating work in the world,” is what a writer in The Circle calls the big, dull red brick block at Astor place known as the Bible House. Here works the greatest organiza tion which in its eighty-eight years of life has sent Bibles to the remot est corners of the earth —a grand total of 70,000,000 of them, printed in more than 150 languagges. The mere translating of the Bible into these languages has been a stu pendous task. The difficulty of ren dering an expression is sometimes al most insurmountable. How for instance translate the phrase “Lamb of God” into the lan guage f the Esquimaux, who never saw a sheep? The translators did the best they could and called it “Little seal of God.” One translator in China took the wrong word for a palm tree and rep resented the multitudes who went out to meet our Lord on Mount Olivet as casting in his path, formidable thorns. Another translating novice in central Africa, trying to render the parable of the sower, represented car nivorous birds as devouring the seeds which fell by the wayside. A translator must devote his life to the work, as did Bishop Schereschew sky. This remarkable Bible scholar, although well nigh helpless physically through incurable paralysis, for more than fourteen years pounded on the typewriter with the solitary forefin ger whose use he retained, preparing every word of both. Testaments for his monumental translation into the Easy Wen Li dialect of Chinese, thus mak ing the Bible accessible to scores of millions of people who speak that tongue. Bishop Schereschewsky sat in the very same chair for nearly twen ty years, working with amazing per sistence and requiring two secretaries to keep pace with him. At his death a few weeks ago he was planning twelve years additional work. When the Bible Society working in Natal, South Africa, began the trans lation of the New Testament into Zulu it was almost a task of despair. The mental capacity of the Zulus was of the lowest order, and they had practically no terms to express spir itual truths. There was no proper word for “God,” and, of course, none for such abstract terms as “faith,” “ho liness,” “worship,” “conscience,” “hon esty,” etc. A spiritual vocabulary had to be created, and existing words ap plied to material things had gradually to be twisted around with an ingenuity truly amazing. But at last the Zulus possessed a complete Zulu Bible in one volume, which was available for the millions of African savages who ranged from the borders of Cape Colony on the south to the shores of Lake Nyassa on the north, and from the Indian Ocean on the east to the western borders of the Transvaal and Rhodesia on the west. In scores of places the same won derful work is in progress. No man can fail to be impressed by the sight of one of these manuscripts, which en tail long, dreary years of thought and infinite labor. And yet the Bible Society sells a well made gospel for two cents a copy, a New Testament for five, and a complete Bible for fifteen cents. The work of the society is not done for a profit, and Bibles are sold at actual cost, or less, many thousands of them being distributed free. The directors, however, do not care OXIDINE. A Chill Cute in Every Bottle. Guaranteed under National Pure Drug Law- The Golden Age for September 12, 1907. to distribute Bibles broadcast free of charge where the price or even a par tial equivalent can be paid. Therefore the society’s colporteurs, who carry the Word into wild and remote re gions, will accept in exchange for their books all kinds of peculiar articles, from ivory to a basket of breadfruit, a few skins, or a baby camel. Notable among many is the case of Hiram Bingham, who went out to the Gilbert islands, among South. Sea sav ages who had no written language and where there was no one to teach him. Little by little this daring pion eer gathered words from the natives’ lips, learned how they combined them into phrases, and spent night and day for years in comparing his written notes with what he heard around him. At last he ventured to put the Lord’s Prayer and a simple Psalm into the savage vernacular. Next came a Gos pel, and then an Epistle, and so on. Long before China opened even five ports to Western trade far seeing men outside its walls were struggling with its ideographs and getting a primitive version of the Bible ready for the peo ple. Again, while Japan still refused to let a foreigner land upon her shores, Messrs. Gutzlaff and Wells Williams were picking up Japanese words from shipwrecked sailors and preparing, without dictionary or grammar, one or another of the Gospels for the Jap anese. And so in the course of years the Bible Society has amassed transla tions in more than thirty European, forty-three Asiatic, eleven African, nine Oceanic and twelve American tongues. Many romances of a remark able kind are connected with the manu scripts. Just as Dr. Judson had finish ed his Burmese translation of the New Testament he was thrown into prison. This was in the old days before the complete British occupation. His wife, however, took the precious manuscript and buried it in the ground. Dr. Judson was in a dilemma. If th e manuscript—the labor of many years— were left buried it would decay, while if its existence were revealed it would surely be destroyed. It was at last arranged that Mrs. Judson should pack it into a roll of cotton and bring it into his prison in the form of a pil low so hard and mean that even the jailer would not covet it. After seven months this pillow, so uninviting externally, yet so precious to Dr. Judson, was taken away, but his wife redeemed it by giving a better one in exchange. Not long after this he was hurried to another prison and had to leave everything behind. The old pillow was thrown into the prison yard to be trodden under foot, but a friendly Burman discovered the roll and took it home as a relic of the strange white prisoner. It was in the possession of this native that the com plete manuscript of the Bible in Bur mese was found long afterward wrapp ed uninjured within the cotton. The task of translating the Bible into some of the thirty-four languages and dialects of the Philippines was begun within two weeks after Admiral Dewey’s victory at Manila. Today a complete Testament in Tagalog, Iloca no and Pampanga may be had, while the Pangasinanes, Bicols, Cebuans and Leyteans now read the Bible in their own tongues through the Gospels ship ped out and spread broadcast in the 2,000 islands of the Philippine group. This leads us to a still more inter esting and romantic phase of the work —the distribution of the Bibles in re mote and savage lands. The men who do this work are explorers, who sometimes fall by the way, victims of wild beasts, disease, hostile savages and the forces of nature, ranging from OXIDINE. A Ohill Cure in Every Bottle.
