Mr. Hendrik Willem van Loon is an Ameri cun editor who has gone over to England to Anish the task he has set himself of re- writing the Rible, or, as he prefers to put it, "telling the old story in a new way.

Me. Van Loon his reduced to 1200 O words that which appears in the Old and New Testament to the length of something like 1 million. He has cut out all

the tables of genealogy. Inatend of attempting to do anything with the Psalms, the Prophets, or the Epistles, he has just said a few words to show how wonderfu! they are in the original, and tells his readers to "go and get them."

Van Loon deals with the first chap. ter of Cienesis after this fashion:

Then the spirit of Jehovah came bruling over the xeno, contemplating mighty things And Jehovah said let there in light, and the first rays of light

BRITISH TOMMY STOPS A FIGHT.

AN ARMISTICE INCIDENT. The Governor of South Australia, General Sir Tom Bridges, speaking at the annual St. George's Day dinner in the eity, related an interesting war incident..

He said that in a little Bulgarian) village on the Danube, woon after the "Armistice a contral post of a corporal! nud six men of the Hampshire Regiment had been left for some weeks. An inspect ing officer visited thea, and found his the corporal with a child in

the arms, giving fatherly advice to local magnates. Asked it there had becu any trouble he said,." Only one day when it was said that the Rumanian frontier. guards had orders to cross the Danube and occupy the village, and then all the young men of his district gathered in the market-place with swords and stoves and old muskets to resist."What did you do," he was asked. I got upon a cart and said I'd 'ave none of it, and they 'opped it." (Laughter) Now why did they op it " asked the Governor. Not because we had won the war. It was be Jenuse behind that Humpshire boy stood the whole British Empire; not only the men of Mons and of Anzac, and of Vimy, but the invisible legions of Crey, Agin- court, and the armies of the Cratades and the tradition of centuries of hopest govern- ment and square dealing (Applause.) All They know, and theyopped it." this is chrystallised in the person of the patron saint and the St. Georgs's Society,
