WANTED—A REMEDY. 
Only by the concentrated thought 
of the residents, both transient and 
permanent, can the prevailing ten- 
dencies on the North Shore be alle- 
viated. For seventy years the pres- 
ent conditions have been provided 
for by the continuous policy to add 
land area to land area, to be held 
either for speculation purposes or 
for summer homes with estates of 
extensive area. The conditions 
which have resulted are similar in 
result, but of course not in cause to 
conditions in other parts of the 
country, of which the report of the 
Country Life Commission reports, 
‘the smaller land owners are iso- 
lated and unable to establish their 
necessary institutions * * * The 
holding of large areas by one party 
tends to develop a system of ten- 
antry and absentee farming. The 
whole development may be in the 
direction of social and economic in- 
effectiveness.’’ Is there nothing that 
can be done to open land for the 
man of small means? If there is no 
way . opened the penalty will be 
meted out with severity as is always 
done in the violation of known 
economic laws. 
THE TERCENTENARY OF THE 
KING JAMES BIBLE... 
In 1611, the King James version of 
the English bible appeared as the 
result of the incentive given by 
King Henry VIII to the translation 
out of the original Hebrew, Aramaic 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
and Greek of a uniform English ver- 
sion of the Bible. In 1611, the work 
was completed and addressed to 
‘‘the Most High and Mighty Prince, 
James, by the grace of God, King of 
Great Britain, France and Ireland, 
Defender of the Faith, etce.,’’ and 
hence the version is called the King 
James Bible. No more important in- 
cident in English history is recorded 
than this event by which the reli- 
gious documents of the race of 
Christ became the charter of politi- 
cal and religious freedom of the 
Anglo Saxon people. The Bible has 
been the fountain of living waters 
to the leaders of men and the un- 
written history of its ministrations 
to the lives of men, great and hum- 
ble, rich and poor, educated and il- 
literate can never be recorded. So 
wholesome and inspiring has its in- 
fluence been. A vivid imagination 
is unnecessary to recall the great 
social, political and religious move- 
ments that have resulted in the ad- 
vancement of the human race be- 
eause of the illumination of the con- 
science of the people by ‘‘The 
Book.’’ Other English editions, the 
Tyndale in 1526, the English re- 
vision in 1881, and the American re- 
vision in 1901, have appeared and 
are illuminating but the King James 
Version will always be dear to its 
readers. So familiar and spirit re- 
freshing are the fluent passages of 
this addition that it seems almost a 
sacrilege to mutilate them. Both of 
the revisions were triumphs of 
scholarship but they can never dis- 
place the King James Version, with 
its rugged style and pure English. 
Apart from its religious value it is 
the English classic. The Bible has 
had turned against it the severest 
eriticism of scholarship, but the out- 
come has only been to reveal its 
honor and abiding worth. On the 
ancient Huguenot seal there was an 
anvil with broken hammers strewn 
about which had been broken upon 
it. The Bible abides and the malig- 
nant attack of distinctive criticism. 
have failed. Out of the Higher 
Critical studies, which m the case 
of the New Testament were precipi- 
tated by the ‘‘Leben Jesus’’ of 
Strauss in German and ‘‘Vie de 
Jesus’? by Renau, in French, a de- 
eade of intellectual contention and 
religious strife arose. Atheism and 
Agnosticism were rife, but today af- 
ter distinctive criticism has spent its 
fury, the Bible has come into its

own as a result of honorable scholar- 
ship, and it stands out clearer than 
ever as ‘‘the word of truth.’’ Re- 
ligious scholarship has demended 
that the head serve the heart. It is 
fitting in view of all that history 
reveals that men should assemble to 
commemorate its Tercentenary of 
publication, but it would be far bet- 
ter if the spirit of The Christ of its . 
pages could become the inspiration 
and guide of men in every walk of 
life, for it will ever be the volume of 
religious inspiration and _ ethical 
standard and out of it are “‘the 
issues of life’? and because religion 
will permeate all life, the Bible and 
Religion are and ever will be linked 
together in the progressive work to 
better the lot and condition of the 
human race. 
ANOTHER AMENDMENT TO 
CONSTITUTION. 
The legislative committee very 
wisely gave the application for statu 
aid by Boston University leave to 
withdraw. The granting of money 
to any sectarian educational institu- 
tion is contrary to the established 
policy of our government, the sepa- 
ration of the church and the state. 
Experience has proven that such 
separation contributes to the best 
of interests of the state and the 
church. On January 29, 1911, the 
federation of church societies of a 
large religious organization passed 
resolutions in favor of state support | 
for its schools. The recurrence of 
these applications, twice in this leg- 
islative session, emphasizes the need 
of State law to settle forever the 
point of law and policy involved. A 
state amendment has been proposed 
providing for an amendment to the 
Constitution so as to prohibit Sec- 
tarian Legislation and the support of 
Sectarian Institutions from Public 
Funds. Every religious organiza- 
tion should raise the funds for its 
own propaganda. When it cannot it 
is time for it to die. The unwritten 
policy of the Commonwealth on this 
question has paved the way so ef- 
fectively, the amendment should re- 
ceive favorable attention by the 
Legislative Committee on Constitu-_ 
tional Amendment.
