EVERYDAY RELIGION -- Children's Directory Salvation meeting THE Arcade The New Wool Gloves and Gauntlets are Here Invitingly nice and cumfy By Dr. Thurlow Fraser STANDARDS OF JUDGMENT Just sixty years ago terrible do- ings were going on in the State of Minnesota. It was the time of the Minnesota Massacre. Maddened by what they felt were wrongs and in- justices the Sioux Indians burst out into sudden and bloody war again- st the whites. Nearly 1000 white settlers were killed, often with cruel torture. Fully 25,000 were driven in flight from their burping homes. So sudden and relentless was the search and slaughter that it was be- lieved that none who were actually among the Indians could escape. Yet there were some who came out alive. One was a missi y of the clothed them when they were cold and fed them when they were hun- gry. He was a fierce warrior of the haughtiest and fiercest fighting tribe of the West, But he was also an intelligent, even if untutored, man, a member of probably the most intellectual tribe of all the North American Indians. He saw the in- consistency between the lives of the first class of Christians and the re- ligion they professed, and set them down as sham fit only to be killed. He saw the consistency of the deeds and religion of the missionaries, and concluded that they were real Chris- tians, worthy to live, In the utmost danger of being found disloyal to his own people, at the risk of death at the hands of his infuriated tribes- men, he saved the lives of the mis- sionaries and then turned rifle amd tomahawk and scalping knife again- st the rest, Old Faithful was only a red-hand- ed Sioux warrior, unlearned and un- skilled in theology. Yet by the in- stinct of his own heart he judged men by the same standard as God judges; by the same standard as Christ lays down. That Standard of Judgment is how we treat our fel- lowmen. The final test of every soul is that soul's relation to Christ. But our relation to Christ is expressed in our relation to our fellowmen. There i8 no use talking about loving God, if we do not live to love our brother men. "If a man say, 'I love God. and hateth his brother, he is a liar, So says the Apostle John. He lays down the same Standard of Judg- ment as did the Sioux warrior in the Minnesota woods and prairie. The measure of our Christianity is our attitude toward our fellow-men. There is no such thing as religion in a vacuum. All religion must be in relation to other men. If we sin, we sin in deed or word or thought towards our fellows. If we repent, we repent by changing our attitude of mind towards our fellows. If we love, we love our fellows. Men boast of their ancient church- es and venerable creeds. They point to their dignified services and holy and beautiful temples for worship. They tell of their hours of spiritual enthusiasm and mystic ecstasy. All very good and proper. But none of these meet Gods requirements. None of them are sufficient for His Stand- ards of Judgment. Here they are as laid down by Jesus himself: "Inasmuch as ye have done it un- to one of the least of these my breth- ren, ye have done it unto me." That was the reason given for the welcome: "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepar- ed for you from the foundation of the world." "Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me." That was the cause laid down for the terrible sentence: "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his an- gels." God's Standard of Judgment is how we have treated our brother men. VIl.--The First Printed Bible The attempt to produce a printed English Bible is a story of exile, per- secution and smuggling, As the manuscript English Bible reached its climax in the work of its last representative, John Wycliffe, so the printed Bible attained a sort of climax in the person of its first rep- resentative, Willlam Tyndale, since he, more than any other man, left bis impress upon all subsequent ver- sions, Even in our modern versions large sections still remain substan- tially as in Tyndale's New Testament. The Authorized Version retains about nine-tenths of Tyndale's trans- lation of 1 John and about five-sixths of his Epistle to the Ephesians, while similar proportions prevail in other parts. By the beginning of the sixteenth céntury the Vulgate, the Hebrew Bible, and the Greek New Testament had all appeared in printed form, put there was still no Bible printed in English language. As in previous epochal periods, however, a man was being prepared for this important task. This was Winiam Tyndale, who was born in Gloucestershire in 1484, just one hundred years after Wyeliffe died. He was thoroughly prepared at Ox- ford and Cambridge. In a controver- gy with a churchman he is said to have declared:--*If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth a plough shall know nore of the Scriptures than thou dvest." Ater several attempts Tyndale saw that he could not accomplish his task in England, and fled to the continent, Even there he was pursued from place to place, At Cologne he seem- ed about to-have his ambition grati- fled. As a result of a conspiracy, however, the work of printing which had hegun was stopped. He then proceeded to Worms, where he final- ly succeeded in having his New Test- ament published in 16265. From Worms the book was smug- gled into England and was in great demand by the common people, The ecclesiastical authorities, however, bought and burned the books as fast as they could lay hands on them, But they did not realize that they were contending against the modern invention of printing. The money was used to print new and better editions, Before Tyndale was put to deith as a heretic in 1536 , he had also translated a large part of the Old Testament, His dying prayer is said to have been, "Lord, open the King of England's eyes," He was the first Englishman to translate from the original Hebrew and Greek, the first to use marginal notes and the first to have the use of the printing press. Only a few copies of his Bible now remain, and these are mostly frag- ments.
