a We have ikovn, ftdO ?w testftftonV of ?*ol ]
ere the most eomprtettt, the eorrtat state of the '
original text. Upon this point, there is but one I
opinion. In the Ituiuuiagc of l.owth, the imper- '
fection of the tex&le anch *? to render " a ]
new trattention, or a rrritianpresent translation,
? wwunry wort." ift >y^>ng language 1
of l>r. Kennlcottis eq?*lly to the point: " 7ee 1
Hebrsw text itself is now' (bund to be wrong in *
tnany instances, some of ohieK are of considerable
consequence." Tho comment of " T. Si. A.** upon '
this testimony is, Indeed, retnarknblew He a-.iya J
" JUr. Kenntcott complains, as a eruie, ot defects tn |'
the Hebrew text, yet tn not one sentence does , 1
he say with 'Trutli,' it U not true and faithful* 1
How a wrong text can be the source of a true c
and faithful translation, the superior ncnmcn of 1
the gentleman may. perhaps, determine. "The 1
text is wrong in munv instances," enys Kennioott. J
The vetw fountain ia corrupt, and yet the stream '
Is pure f The form of his reply upon this sub- v
iect demonstrates its weakness. Why has he ig- c
nored entirely our quotations! Why. but from ?
the conviction that thi'j- conflict ninnifestly with |
his own statements. I pon the subject of a cor- j1
rupt original text, we have at command nunier- '
ous authorities?such as Conybeare and llowson,
Davidson, Trench, and others?whose opinions 8
coincide fully with those of tho author* already c:
referred to. To tho candid reader, nothing far
thcr, surely, is necessary. We uow turn to the r
second bruuch of jhe argument, and propose to *
show the cori upturns of the ta<t?front the text 1
Itself. There is scarcely a book in the canon in '
which there is not found spurious and intcrpolnt- '
cd passages. In proof of this statement, I refer '
first to Matthew, vi, 13: "For tliiue is the king if
dom. and the power, and the glory, forever. 1 1
r'Anicn." Bloomhold, upon this passage, remarks:1 I
"The most eminent critics, with the exception of
Multhnei, from Erusraus and ( rot us down to
Sciioiz, have rejected it." 'lotliisopinion Bloom- 1
field (though he has not placed it among cert a-n
Iff interpolated passages) is inclined. The scholarship
of tlie world rejects it. 1 refer again to 1
Matthew, xxvii, 36: "That it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by the prophet: they parted
my garments among them ; and ujkiii my vesture
did they cast lots." By every editor of note,
this passage, is regarded spurious. Fo also the
passage in Aets, viii, 37: "And Philip said, if
thou bclievest with all .thy heart, thou ninyest.
And lie answered and said, 1 believe that Jesus
Christ is the Son of Cod." Again?Aets, ix, 6(1:
" It is hard for thee to kick agniust the pricks.
And lie, trembling and astonished, said, Laird,
what wilt thou have me to do t" In 1 Corinthians,
x, the last clause <?f verse, and the 24th
verso of the 10th chapter, are both spurious.
The lost clause of tlie 7th verse of II lleb.:
" And didst set him over tho works of thy hand;"
at:d the last member of the second clause {of the
20th verse of tlie 12lh chapter are upony | dial.
This is but a specimen of what might be introduced.
It is enough, however, to show the eon
dition of the received text. It the above passu
ges are not divine Script-ure, iind Bluomfieid.
with all the best critics, affirm that they are in t,
tlion ought they to Iks expunged from tlie word
of God 1 And the effort to purify the Scriptures
is as pious as it is benevolent, lint it will be
said that these defects do not affect the integrity
of the Bible as a whole, and that revision, therefore,
is an iioiieeeesary woi k. This mode of .
reasoning would have'deprived us of the very
translation now in our possession. The admitted
defects in the Bishop's Bible did not destroy the
integrity of t he Scriptures; King James's trans- j 1
lation, therefore, w as tuuicccseur r. On this principle,
however imperfect a translation may l;e, it
mu?t not l?e revised, provided we cftu learn from it
tho fundamental doctrlnsa of^rseyghm. Adnii' j j
The absurdity of the principle Is its best refutation.
"All Scripture giyen by inspiration of
God, is profitable for din-trine, fi>r reproof, for
correction, for instruction in right eoosnef*, that
the man of Go-i may he perfect, thoroughly
ft rnUhed unto all good works." Kvery passage
of Scripture i* ituportant, or Go.l would not
have given it to us; they ought, therefore, to laput
into the hands of t hrhstinns as free from ail
error as it is possible to n ake them. The slightest
errors even may lend to consequences the
niort serious. " It is dangerous to retain any
known errors in our national version; they ?>penite
differently on different milids; nor is it easy
to istimntc their degree or effects. The opinion
and conduct, not only of the unlearned, hut even
of the learned thcuuclvc, who do not carefully '
.ronnnn it... j t..,-? S., I ...A,, I
strongly influenced in matters of acknowl- '
edged importance l>y corrupt readings, or mistranslations
of n very few texts." 'the above '
view, from Archbishop Newcoiubo, will, we '
think, be fully endorsed by every one at all eon- '
vcrsant with the history of the elmreh. We I
have no fellowship for the spirit that can tolerate '
known defetfts in the Bible; and that our trans- '
latiou is full of tliem remains now to be seen. 1
In the first place, the translation not unfi-cqnent- '
ly sacrifices the true rendering to sectaiian purpose*.
The words ej.iscopee and episcoposare so 1
rendered. In Luke, xix, 4 1, and 2 l'eter, ii, 12, i
cptscopee is rightly translated vi*itnti<tn. In i
Acts, i, 20, 1st Timothy, Sii, 1, it is translated <
bishoprick, mid office of a bishop. In both i
instances o^rVr would have been the correct rendering.
'ihe office of a bishop, as differing from
that of a presbyter or elder, had, at that time, ,
according to Bloomfield, no existence. The ren- ,
-dcring is n comment upon the word, not a trans- ,
latum, and serves to mislead the mind. The ! ,
word episenpos, in 1st l'eter, iv, 15. is rendered,
in our version, busy body; in l'hilippinus. i, 1, .
Titus, i, 7, bishop or bishops; in Arts, xx, 28.
overseers. Why this want of uniformity ? If 1
they had rendered It uuiformly bishop, then it
would have been seen tlurt bishop and presbyter
were tlw snuie officer. Such n disclosure, how- j
ever, was foreign from ihcir design. If they had
rendered it overseer, then no mention would have '
been made, in the translation, of bishop. This,
therefore, would not do, and they translate it j"
sometimes bishop and sometimes overseer, and
thus make a show of Kpivopncy in the version ;
whereas, in the original, it has no support whatever.
'"By an iincandhl abandonment of their *
chosen word "?t he old ecclesiastical word, bishop !
?i?v which tney were to give r.|>i?eo|?ncv ni.
foundation in the English liiblc, when that | \
word, fays Dr. Cnmpucil, ol Kentucky, was
about to expose the whole fabric as hnsclcpn"? j
they substitute the w<>r<! overseers, tind thus sue- '
coed in giving their " rcclceinAienl system an
unwarrantable hold in the version, viohnfly
fcaerirtcing, for this sectarian end, fidelity, t ni- "
foi injty and cnndcr."
Again; What is the meaning of the notes nj>- ,|
penned to the Epistles of Timothy and Titus, in v
whieli Timothy and Titus respectively are made j
the first Liisivop of the Church of tlie Kphesinns i,
and t'retons? That they are spurious nppcndn- c
ges to the KpUtlca, every scholar admits. Tliey ?
were rejected l?y Tnydsle. t.'overdale. and evi-n |
tho V ulgate. They nerve only to mislead the i(
I-English neader. Nevertheless, tJiey wero put jj
t!jj?re, and tlu-re retained. Why? r,
Agni'': Why the prohibition to translate tlie o
term eelesia, conyreflMioyi f Evidently because u
if tIia translators had been left free, they might g
have so translated it; hut this would have been d
fata) to the moat cherished idea of the King. r
Again : In Acts,. 12 :.4, the passage is thus rcn v
dcred: "intending after Faster to bring him o
forth to the people.' Jfow,.every scholar knows <1
that for ?ueh'a rendering there is not even tlie ii
semblance of a warrant, i'uskn, the Greek word, v

Whatever the terms innv menu, whether to pour,
pi inkle, or immerse, fidelity to God's truth reIuires
that it should be given,
Iu tlio third place, the translation is marred by
luinerous obsolete words, aud the sense of >crip
ure greatly obscured. The following examples
vill justify this statement: "Take with thee ten 1
oaves and cracknela." Not one-half of the rendsrs
of the Enterprise eun tell the moaning of
racknels. Translate it cakes, and what was obtcure
is at once clear. " Eat the lamb's head,
>nd the purtmance thereof " All that hear the
Wait of thee." What, is the moulting of purteiniiceand
bruitY " lie will come to fray them."
What does to frny mean Y " lie will set them to
car his ground." Ilow many persons know tliftt
to ear is equivalent to till, or plough Y " Providing
for honest things." Honest here means decent,
becoming, and not, as it is natural to sup|Kise,
the opposite of dishonest. " Be thou an example
to the believers iu conversation." Conversation
how means talk, speech; in the Scriptures,
however, it. is synonymous with conduct. " H'e
do yon to wit of the grace of God." How much
better, we make known to you. The word prevent
now means to hinder. In the Scriptures it
means to go before. " Wc shall not prevent them
that arcasleep."?lstThes.,4: 15. " Ho who letteth
w ill let. Here the meaning seems to bo. he
who |m rmittct'u will permit, w hereas it mcutis the
very opjiosite, viz: lie who hindcreth will hinder.
What must be the effect of such word# and phrases
upou the great nmss of readers? what, hut to
obscure the Scripture# and conceal their meaning?
In the fourth plucc, our.trnnsliitioit is tilled with
terms offensive to true delicacy?term* which cannot
he pronounced from the pulpit, or read in the
family without a blush. Therei# no necessity for
this. 'Ihe true sense can he givm by an euphemism
siifUcteiitly explicit,and it i# due to the Bible
that the change# should he made.
In the tilth place, the want of uniformity in
the orthography of proper names, is perplexing
to the reader, and lends him into err* r. "Snj Io.-o,"
says Dr. Campbell, " Daitrroft'a History
*. S. were to exhibit on its pages the following
specimens of orthography, what would he the
judgment of tlic people and press upon it: In
due sei t o i, the name of the Father of his Country

want of uniformity in it# renderings. from unwarrantable

lint, lastly, the translation is in several instan:cs
contradictory. !Sc 2dSnm? 8: 4?"Auditaid

In 'id Kings, 8: 2ft, we ler.ru that Ahnr.iah
w :s two nnd twenty years old when he began to
feign, while in 2d Oh roil., 22: 2, he is said to have
bfljn two and forty years old when he Liegnn to
reign. According-to 2d Kingst 23:30, Josiah
was taken dead front Megiddo to Jerttsoleni hy
liis servants; but according to 2d C'hron., 35: 24,
lie died after reaching Jerusalem. In Numbers,
22:5, Balaam is made the sou of Boor. In 2d
Peter, 2: 15, he is called the son of Bosor. Now
jr.iut, as we do, that it is an easy matter to reconcile
these conflicting passages, nevertheless
Lhry mar the sacred Scriptures, and have proved
ituiuhlij.pr blocks to hundred*. There is no reason
for this. Why, then, should it be so V
Now, with all these facts before U9, we see not
iow it i* possible to resist the conclusion that retidon
is an imperative nnd solemn duty. Nor
ire we any longer surprised at the deliberate conlietion
of the British and Foreign Bible Society,
is ?xpressed in the annual report for 1889:
' )'?<?<r ' 'ominittee are persuailed that if even the
Kni/lish authorized version were dealt with in the
tame manner as the J'ortuifuesr, an amount of in
Uridual mistranslations might be presented which
roald. with equal justice, give rise to the question,
an such a version be called the word of God."
I shall now proceed to notice some things in
he Inst article of " T. S. A." The effort, of the
tenth-mail to depreeule the Vatican and Ephreni
nnnuscripts, is in the face of the testimony of
very scholar and critic of modern time* 'Hie
p-nth-nuni himself udmits that, the text lias been
niproved. in other words, that the text of Steihens
lias Iu-en unproved. Now, we ask, Ivr
s horn, and how't Why, evidently, by Mill, W"e{-'
tein, Mat thai, Bengei and other*. And the most
mportant menus in the accomplishment of this 1
no, was the manuscripts in their possession, and
f these the Vatican nnd Ephrent manuscripts ,
bind among the very first in importance. Will
lie gentleman please reconcile his opinion of
11cse manuscripts with the high opinion in whieh
e must know they arc universally held? And
i hat force is there in reasoning based upon mere '
lassitiv-ation, when the very conclusion to which <
I h ads is emit radii-ted by the very men to whom
re are indebted chiefly for all we know on these
uhjccts? and who, in the very faec of this rcwaIIIH^c.

vliich resolves itself, says Bishop .Vlarsh, at last,
nto the t'omphitension and Kriisiuian editions,
ioth of which, we are told in Home, are " neith- '
r very nncieiit nor very correct." What, can it
vuil to show that one class of manuscripts is
letter than another, il they were not employed

State?, it is conclusively demonstrated thnt our ?
" ancient allies" in the North, are becoming J,
more powerless??thnt they are prostrate at the
feet of Abolitionism. In almost every instance d,
where a Northern member to Congress has stood n<
by the Constitution and befriended ua, a defeat 0f
awaited him We honor the noble hearted men hi
who have dared, in the face of "political mar- sn
tyrdoiu," to defend the interests of a commou ei
country, and deplore the causes which have do- C
prived the nation of their scrviocs. Senator p<
Hammond admits that during tho late session p<
he saw men " noting cordially nnd vigorously ^
with ua against the poeitivo instructions of their Nr
excited constituents, at the hnznrd of politicnl r"
martyrdom; and in two instances that martyr- ^
doni was consummated before the adjournment."
Tbeso are certainly indications of our continued l,}
weakness in the only section where we can look ^
for assistance. What nro wo to infer from the *
recent elections in New York, Pennsylvania, and
other Northern and North-western States! That ''
the abolition party, now the strongest in the
Union, b to wage a brutal and bloody war against
the institutions of the South?that the
Constitution is to be amended, and the South
deprived of self-government nnd her equality in
the Union. In fact, that, "the cotton nnd rice
fields of South Carolina, and the sugar [ Inula- (|
tious of Louisiana, shall lie tilled by free labor."
This is the doctrine laid down by Seward in his
Rochester speech, delivered upon the eve of the
recent election in New York, which, a* our read- (|
era know, resulted in the election of the cn w
tire lilack Republican State ticket by an over- j?
w helming vote. Judging from results like tlwso, l,i
how can we consider the position of the South ?i
iu thi; Union iu nny other light than ooc of dan- to
gor and peril. ' ?l

of like section iu which we live. And whilst to <d
