THE UNION-RECORDER. MILLEDGEV1LLE. GA.. DECEMBER 12, 18*5
Bible Exhibit
in Library
The Ina Dillard Russell Library
is now displaying an exhibit in
celebration of the 400th anniver
sary - of the English Bible. Part
of this consists or facsimile
pages of Bibles from 1525 to 161 1,
a most fascinating development to
follow, published by the Amer
ican Bible Society in commemora
tion of *he 400 years of English
Bibles.
Those who remember the per
secution and final martyrdom of
T>ndale will be interested in the
copy of a page from his New
Testament, which was published
in 1525. Facsimiles of the titl?
page and a portion a! St. Lute
are to bo seen representing the
first English printed Bible, the
Coverdale Bible, published in
1535. Even after the beginning
made bv Tyndale in printing a
Bible in English, it seemed to
most people a profanation— Enp- j
i was not good enough for i
h a purpose. Four hundred I
rs ago the first great transla- j
of the Bible into modem Eng- |
was held in a Belgian jail. I
today biblical scholarship is hon- I
ored in every center of learning.
This translation, however, marked
J the beginning of a great transla
tion movement. Matthew's Bib’e
j was printed in 1537; and the
: Great Bible, the first to bear the
imprint “Appointed to be Read
in Churches." was printed in
1539. This was the period in,which
) the people had access only to
j large church Bibles chained in the
churches. Then came the Geneva
Bible, published in 1560 mainly
as a people’s Bible, its size mak
ing it more easily purchased; but
the price must have still been
very great, as only 140 were
issued in the 84 years it was in
press. This Bible probably in
fluenced the people who later
made the early history of Amer
ica. In 1568 the Bishops' Bible
was issued, and in 1582-1609, the
Rheims-Douai Bible. In 1611
came the King Jamt. Version, a
part of the Translator’s Preface
to the reader being given besides
the title page and the passage
from Luke. These portions are
mainly the end of the 10th and
the beginning of the 11th chap
ters of St. Luke’s Gospel, and the
development of the present
wording, together with tire de
velopment of the printing, can be
easily followed.
One of the most interesting
things in the whole exhibit is
the huge folio edition of the

“GIFTS THAT LAST'
Bible published by John Basker-
ville in 1763. Some authorities
consider this Bible one of the
most beautifully printed books in
the world. Although his con
temporaries asserted that his
books owed more to the quality
of paper and ink than to the typo
itself, the difficulty in obtaining
specimens from the Baskcrville
Press shows the estimation in
which they are now held. This
library is very proud that it poss
esses one of these.
Since Baskervilie's Folio Bible
there had been no other Bible
with such outstanding print pub
lished until Mr. Bruce Rogers
pr&di.ced in collaboration with the
University printer the Oxford
Lecterc Bible at the Oxford Uni
versity press. This Bible, begun
in 1929, was published this year;
and only a few copies remain un
sold of the 190 put on sale, al
though the price of these uncut
sheets, printed on hand-made rag
paper, hand-sewn, is $265.00 un
bound The specimen sheets in
the exhibit cost 75c.
Other things of interest in the
exhibit are a Greek-English Bible,
a Latin Bible, a Spanish Bible, a
Cherokee Indian New Testament,
a facsimile page of Gutenberg's
Bible, and bulletins on the Influ
ence of the English Bible.

TOMORROW’S SUN

William Randolph Hearst has been
i absentee landlord of Georgia for
25 years, during which he has visit-
ur state once or twice. The At
lanta Georgian has been operated
for him by a procession of pablish-
vho have succeeded one another
with bewildering rapidity. The ab
sence of Mr. Hearst from Georgia
and the frequent turnover of At
lanta Georgian publishers may ac
count for the Georgian’s total ignor-
lce of Georgia conditions.
Mr. Hearst and his organization
may be intimately acquainted with
the sidewalks of New York, the
south side of Chicago, the water
front of Son Francisco, and the mo
tion picture element of Los Angeles,
but what they do not know about
Georgia would fill a library. Recently
Mr. Hearst's Georgian published for
distribution among Northern adver
tising agencies a so-called survey of
conditions in RURAL Georgia which
asserted and attempted to prove that
“purchasing power in rural Georgia
is non-existent.” The survey was
illustrated with pictures of most
ramshackle tenant houses that could
he found, and the whole purpose was
to make it appear that Georgia is
about as far advanced at Ethiopia.
■Hie writer has taken the trouble
to find out from the United States
Department of Agriculture and other
reliable sources what rural Georgia
has done in 1935 in producing new
wraith. Here arc the figures:
Cotton. S71.930.000; Corn. $30,-
500.000: Dairy Products. $23,000,000;
Poultry. S20.000.000; Tobacco. $14.-
500.000: Peanuts. $12,500,000; Cattle.
$12,000,000; Hogs. $5,750,000; Frui*s.
$8,500,000; Grains. $2,750,000; Hav.
$3,500,000, Sweet Potatoes. $4,500.-
000; Irish Ptatoes $700,000; Beans
and Peas, $900,000; Pecans $750,000;
Melons. $1,000,000; Cane Syrup. $1.-
750.000; Total. $214,530,000.
Where was this wealth produced'
was it produced upon the pavements
of Atlanta and other cities where
Mr. Hoover said the grass would
grow if Roosevelt was elected?
It might further interest Mr.
Hearst to be informed that Georgia
is the largest state east of the Miss
issippi river, that Georgia possesses
eight of the nine climatic zones of
the United States. that Georgia’s
soil is the must diversified of any
state in the Union, that Georgia's
forest area is the largest of any state
in the Union, that Georgia's death
rate is the lowest of any state cast
«>f tiie Mi sissippi and lower than
the average of the United States.
It might also interest him to know
that RURAL Georgia produced the
first cotton gin. the first steamboat,
the first use of anasthetics in surg
ery. the first chartered woman's col
lege in the world, the first State
University in the United States, pro
duced John and Joseph Le Conte,
who started the University of Cali
fornia. produced Joel Chandler Har
ris and Henry W. Grady, produced
the first woman to sit in the United
States Senate. Mrs. Rebecca Latimer
Felton, and last but not least, pro
duced the present junior Senator ofj
Mr. Hearst’s own California; to w?':

It might also interest Mr. Hearst
to be inarmed that ninety-five
small towns in Georgia, which art
classified by the United States Cen
sus Bureau as “RURAL” emmuni-
tics have a home consumption of
electricity which is fifty per-cent
higher than the national average.
Rural Georgia has not achieved
perfection, but she stands before the
world unashamed and unafraid. Mr.
Hearst and all other detractors to the
contrary notwithstanding.
