Signs of God

I had to spend today in the small town of Versailles, Missouri. (Note that they pronounce it VER-sales.) I didn't have anything to do for 8 hours, so I drove around. I spotted this sign as I was approaching the town:



Now the American Standard version of this quote (Rev. 3:11) is
I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.


The King James version is
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.


I think that whoever paid for this sign should have sprung for a few extra words.
