The New Revised Testament.
The publication of the new version
of the Testament has been one of
the notable events of the Nineteenth
Century ; an event that touches the
hearts and minds of Christian peo
ple all over the world. This event
is looked upon with mingled feel.
ings ; it is yet too new to judge
what effect it will have on the popu
lar mind. Even distinguished theo
logians and religious leaders are in
doubt whether to rejoice )r to re
gret. While they are fully satisfied
that the revised version gives a
more nearly correct translation of
the original than was found in the
former edition, they yet fear the
effect on the public mind. The
Bible has been looked upon by the
multitude as sacred in every respect,
and this unsparing criticism, this
changing and mutilating of many
of the sweetest and most comfort
ing passages in the Book, seems to
the averaging mind to be degrading
the Bible to the level of other
books, and many tend to shake that
unquestioning faith with which
Christian people have heretofore
regarded it. The Bible of their
fathers and mothers, the Bible that
they themselves have read and
whose very language .they have
treasured in their minds, the Bible
of all Christian peoples for hundreds
of years-this Bible is incorrect ;
it is not the true Bible, and we
must give it up for a new one. This
is the feeling of the average mind.
Those who are scholars, who un
derstand philology, translations,
and all that sort of thing, can pro
perly appreciate the new and re
vised version, and will adopt it
readily ; but the masses will, for a
long time to come, prefer the old,
to which they have been accustom
ed, and will have to be educated
'radually up to a proper apprecia
tion of the new. They are both
merely translations from the' lan
guage in which they were originally
written into English. It is reason
able to sappose that the later trans
lation is more nearly correct ; for
the revisers had not only all the
facilities en joyed by the earlier, or
King James edition, but they had
a great many more.
The plan of revising the Bible
was inaugurated in England in
1870. The best scholars of England
and of America were assigned to
this work. *The plan was not to
retranslate the Bible, but to revise
it, and to correct any errors of
translation that existed in the King
James edition of 1611. Where the
sense and meaning of the original
were clearly expressed in the io'
mer edition no change was to be
made for the sake of better lan
guage. The design was not to criti
cize and improve the English of the
frmer edition ; but only to correct
the translation whenever incorrect.
It is said, however, that the revi
sers have overstepped their boun
daries and have made changes of
language in many instances with
no other object than to express the
same ideas in what they considered
more elegant English. After all the
changes, the Bible remains, in all
essential particulars, the same, and
the ordinary reader might read
many chapters, or even books, with
out knowing whether he is reading
the old or the new version.
One striking change in the new
version is in the arrangement of
paragraphs. The division in the
former edition into chapters and
verses, as they were commonly
called, was merly fictitious, and in
tended simply for convenience of
reference. The new version is pre
ferable in this respect, for the fre
quent and sudden breaks in the
former edition by this fictitious ar
rangement of verses tended to con
fuse the mind of the reader.
The responsibility, if we can be
allowed to speak of it in that way,
of introducing the new version
among the masses will fall princi
pally upon the clergy. It will de
volve upon them to explain to their
the new, and yet they feel that they nc
must be very cniefa not to jostle a
rudely the reverence for 'he old
Bible so deeply imbedded in the
he-arts of the people. Many minis- Ii
ters in New York used the new Tes- D
tament the Sunday after it wasb
made public. Its adoption in the
pulpit will be gradual, and will de- r
penld to a great extent upon the o
views and wishes of the church go- r
ing people in different sections of z
the country.

WINDSoR HOTEL, FIFTH AVENUE,
NEW YORK, May 14, 1881. a
From time immemorial, the --merry
month of May'' has been deeumed the 's
season for rejoicing, and New York L
has had, for once, her grand jubilee
over the return of spring, in the Mlu.i- ]
cal Festival which took place last
week. Nothing could be happier than i
the thought of holdinmg such a festival
at this timne of the year. It was like
ushering in the spring with a grand
burst of melody.
- The Festival was held in the SeventhI
Regiment Armory, wvhich accomnwo
dates over twelve thousand people.
There were over two thousand musi
cans in the chorus ahd orchestra led
by Dr. Damrosch. Among .these
were two hundred and fifty boys, '
whose sweet voices resembled the
singing of seraphs in Paradise more1
than anything else which fancy could
suggest. The leading soloists were
Mmne. Gerster, Miss Cary, Signor
Cam pauaui,and Herr Rem mertz. Eigh
ty thousand people attended the Fes
tival, and the receipts were about
90,000.t
THE FAsHIONABLE EXOD)Us.
Many of our fashionables are off for
Europe, and out-going steamers are
thronged with jubilant Americans,C
teeming with gold dollars and g0'u
humor, en route for foreign lands.
Those who do not contemplate Europe,
are get tng ready for the summer's
campaign at Sarato.ga, New port and
other fashionable resorts.. Matrons ~
and belles are deep in the mysteries
of the latest fashions, while pater
faniilias has eniough to do to turn
over his ledger and wonder whence all
the monzey is to come to pay for femi
ine fiuecry and hotel bills. For,
even the poke b,on.nets and Mother
Hubbard cloaks. in whic-h our belles
now love to array :hemiselves, may
cost a considerable sum. Our fash
ionable youths and the heiress huu.
ters are also looking forward to the
gay watering place season, and even
the old beaux are still on the quit
ice. No one who has never en- a
countered them, can have any idea of a
the formidable array of old bachelors c
there is in New York society. No e

this summer for it is said that Secre
tary Blaine, Vice President Arthur,
and other political lights have already
engaged their rooms there for the sea

New York is . fast becoming the il

harleston News and Courier New York
correspondent, May 17.
The efforts wade to get a copy of
:e revised Testament out of Dr.
chaff's hands illustrate the value
hich newspaper correspondents and
ublishers place upon it. The New
ork Berald will reprint the whole of
ae Testament in its next Sunday edi
on, and it will doubtless be news to
s readers, whether it is revised or
ot. It is understood that a well
nown literary pirate, who makes a
usiness of appropriating English
orks and paying no copyright, has of
re $1,000 for a copy of :he Testa
er a note purporting to eome trom Dr

A QUARTER OF A M]LLION VOLUMES
ISSUED THE FIRST DAY.
NEW YORK, May 29.-Long lines
of expr-ess wagons were hacked up in
front of the English Publishing House
Agency from an early hour this morn
ing receiv~ing packages of the English
edition of the revised Testament. It
was estir-ated that up to noon to-day
250,000 volumes had been given out,
arnd that probably 50,000 more had
been shipped during tbe afternoon.
New York Time s, May 21.
The hanuds of St. Paul's Church
clock indicated precisely 6 A. M.
yesterday as the cashier of I. K.
Funk & Co., of Nos. 10 and 12 Dey
street deposited in his drawer the
price of the first single copy of the
revised New Testament, Oxford edi
tion. Its purchaser had been wait
ing patien'tly since daybreak, anid went
away happy in the possession of his
prize. Other persons who had also been
besieging the doors of the publishing
house with the object of becoming
the owners of the first single copies
to be sold eager-ly bougbt up volumes.
Similar- incidents occurred in the ear
ly morning in the store of Thomas
Nelson & Sons, in Bleecker street,
who, however, were obliged to imme
diately discontinue retail sales in con
sequence of the multiplicity of orders
from the trade. Business with the lat.
t'r was opened at 4 A. M., from
which hour until nightfall sixteen
clerks anid salesmen worked like Tro
jans taking orders and putting up
packages. Tihe largest sale of any
house in the city was made to thne
American News Company, who in
turn supy lied an army of news agents
ad small book sellers. An incessant
latter was kept up in Bleecker street
by the arriving and departing ex
press wagons, many of which trans
prted immense packages- and cases
of the ch'-aper editions to cities, towns
andI villages in this vicinity. Dealers
in this city, it was said, took about
75,000 copies, one house alone taking
35.000.
The orders from New England
were al-o very large, 10,000 volumes
were shipped to Sarn Francisco, and
double that numrber to booksellers in
Chicago The entire nurxnber of copies
of all ids disposed of by Nelson &
Sos up to 3 P. M was 259,000. Of
these thre lar-gest number were 20 cent
boks. Thle only editio,n exhuausted|
was that kmi.wn as the L,n;g Primer,|
te retai! prices of whichn ranged from
81 to $7 50. Funk & Co., dispatched
50.000 copies by express and freight
to many points in the States, and a
great numaber of single books were
sent by maril to those who had sub
mnitted their orders in advance. The 1
local deimnd inrclude-d a large nm
her of orders for finelv bou;nd volumes s
printed in large, handIsome type. At
2 P. M. only a few copies of the 25,
000 2-eeui Testaments remained to t
be dispowtd of. The sales of the 15
cent edition, which is bound in tinted 3
paper, aggregated 10,000 copies, and
the pro6it to the firm per copy was 3
cents, while that of the 20 cent book
was 4 cents. A larger margin of
proft is allowed in the sale of the a
companion book, which explains the C
