ME DORSET COUNTY EXPREss AND AGR!CUIJTURAIJ GAZETTE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1880.

Within a very short time the new version of the
New Testament will be presented to the public. It
May interest the reader to learn a few of the changes
that have been made :—'or example, following the
Sinaitic, Vatican, and Alexandrine manuscripts, the
words in John v. 3, Waiting for the moving of the
water,' have been expunged. The whole of the text,
Acts ell, 37, which has been often quoted by By-
ti.ts as crucial, will also disappear; as will also the
words, 'Let us not fight against God,' in Acts xxiii.,
9. In accordance with the Sinaitic and Vatican MSS.,
Matthew xxiii., 14, is expunged. A more striking
change is the omission of Mark ix., 44, 46,
' Where their worm dieth not and their fire is
not ouenched.' John v., 4, is also expunged.
The doxology disappears from Matt. vi. 13. The
Lord's Prayer will therefore read in Matt. vi. 9.-- 13,
'Our Father which art in heaven. Hallowed be Thy
name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in
heaven, so on earth. Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debte as we also have forgiven our
debtor. And lead tic not into temptaithm, but deliver
us from the evil one. ' In Luke xi. 2-1, it will stand,
'Father, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come.
Give us day by day our daily bread, and forgive us our
sins ; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is
indebted to us. And lead us not in.. temptation.'
'Your righteousness' appears for your alms' in Matt.
vi. 1. In Matt. xi. 19, instead of 'wisdom is justified
of her children,' we have ' wisdom is justified by her
works' Mark viii. 36, 37, will read, 'Fir what
doth it profit a man to gain the whole
world and forfeit his life? For what should
a man give in exchange for his life?' In
Luke x. 15, and also in the familiar parable of the
Rich Man and Lazarus, the awful term' Hell ' will
give place to Hades.' The no less familiar words of
Agrippa to Paul will read very differently—it stands
thus—" With but little persuasion thou wouldeat fain
make me a Christian.' It will be ten years on the 6th
of next May, since the matter of the revision of the
Scripture was brought before f'onvocation by the
Bishop of Winchester and the Bishop of Gloucester
and Bristol. A committee of sixty revisers, including
Biblical scholars of nearly all denominations, was
formed in consequence of the action then tskn. One
half of that body, under the presidency of the Bishop
of Gloucester and Bristol, devotes' theinselvee to the
revision of the New Testament, the remainder to that
of the 014 Testament. The sittings if the firmer
body have been held once a month for a week at a
time, those of the latter for a fortnight six times a.
year.

Obese"

to the attempts of Mr. Gladstone to remove the grievances ,
ef Ireland, he at once grappled with tho extreme remedy
proposed—that of Home Itule, lie said that the strong ;
point in advocating this tamely Wag that the Union made
by Pitt had signally faCed. lie disputed this in detail,
and from an examination of certain fats and flannel
showed that an Irish Parliaaients might not have done so
much for Ireland as the Eng ish Parliament had done
within the last To years. " Home Rio" for Ireland was
a dream. To talk of gaining for Ireland the many reforms,
which she needed was to approach &question, the solution
of which by means of fair discussion and the winning
over of the support of ealightened English opinions, would
now be eminently feasible and desirable. The chief
grievances the lecturer dwelt upon were the unequal
suffrage between England and Ireland The pleading
before Parliament for permission to make bet Own IOMI
iInPrOVCII/elltS ; the want of self-Government in the
c matins, especially when Ireland duos not respect, as
England does, the class to which the country's powers is
entrusted, and the notion of absolute property in the sot
as appertaining to the rent:taker should be forced by the
stronger of the two is'ands upon the weaker. Alter
examining these in detail, and advocating suitable
remedies for each, he spoke of the Land Question. lie
sad they were in the dark as to what were the principles
of the New Land Bill. They went promised in the
queen's Speech a further development of the principles
of the Land Act of IWO. The Land League in the autumn
were satisfied with the "Three F's, and the majority of
the Irish members, notably three for Ulster, were anxious
that he New

L'rTinhereel Fs" "Fraud, Force, and Folly," for which
expression he thought at this time be must be heartily
ashamed, especially when it had been rendered still
more ridiculous b the miserable jingling rhymes of a
" %Virden.' The "Three F's," he said, were Fair Rent,
Fixity of Tenure, and Free Sale I And he advocated
,these as well is the proposal of Mr. G. Errington, the
M.P. for Longford, who would fuse the existing Land
Courts into a supreme Land Court, with Local Divisional
Courts, and invest it with power to settle the just rent of
estate andl holding. In au eloquent peroration, he stated
that he knew nothing against a cordial Union between
Ireland and Great Britian. It was a great libel to aasert
that the Irish had too deep-rooted an antipathy to
England to endure an intimate connection with her.
The great mass of the English people had never conspired
to exterminate the Irish race. Irishmen had received no
i,..jury from England for many a long day, and history
would bear witness that they had reaped the full share
of the blessings from the beneticieut legislation of the
present century. Let them await the heating influences
of the forthcoming iegislation ; and after a generation let
Irishmen choose between a weakened Irish Parliament
and a perpetual share in that noble inheritance which had
been earned for all Britons alike. _ _

At the conclusion a continuod applause greeted Mr.
Gibson as he resumed his seat —The Chairman rose
immediately and remarked that everybody in that
room had listened to that lecture with pleasure and
interest, everybody would agree with him that the
paper bore evidence of great labour and research,
being a subject which the lecturer bad made his
peculiar study. Ho thought there was no Liberal in
England who would not admit that Ireland had her
grievances, but she had at present approached her
grievances in the wrong way. Glancing back T.O years,
he would ask them if it was net to Mr. Gladstone to
whom might Ireland look to for redress of injustices
which were admitted to exist (Applause). The
Prime Minister introduced the Church Act, Land
Act, and Education Act, and had held out the hand
to Ireland—indeed he appeared to be the man sent to
remedy their grievances. Gladstone had professed
anxiety to better the state of the Irish, and would
rather err, if at all, on the side of liberty, than on the
side of coercion. Mr. Gundry believed that the most
trying course in the Prime Minister's career was the
painful task of being obliged to apply coercion to one
hart of the kingdom which did not exist in the other.
Mr. Gundry then asked toe meeting to move •
neholution of confidence in the action d Bin Gladstone
and the Government.—Mr. Hallett then moved the
following resolution. "That this meeting desires to
express its confident-a in the policy of the Government
in its determinati n to maintain law and order in
Ireland, trusting that by the co-operation of all parties,
the promised remedial measures will follow closely
those of coercion, which it deeply regrebi have been
found necessary. (Applause),—Mr. Horsey in second-
ing this resolution expressed his concurrence in it.
Every one admitted coercion to be repugnant to the
feelings f Liberals, but when such men as Mr. Bright
I supported coercion, there must be good reason for even
such a measure OA this. (Cheers).—Mr. Stephens
: in supporting this resolutio q
n, uoted from "Praoz's
Afaya:ine ' an extract treating of various reforms, and
in conclusion thought that all of them should feel
proud that Mr. Forster once resided in their Immediate
neighbourhood. (hear, hear,), —Mr. Chunky suitably
moved a vote d thanks to Mr. Dewes-Gibson, which
WWI seconded by his Worship and carried by aoclaina•
tin—ln response the lecturer said he had made the
Irish questions a great study, and had spent a deal ef
his time in Ireland during his youth, and by their kind
manner the Irish iss,ple had endeared themselves to
him. They were right at heart, ho knew that, for he
had seen the best and worst parts of that country. If
the agitators were removed, the Irish would soon see
their position the more clearly. The result of a calm
rellecthai, •1111 a series judicious action would remove
their grievances, and bring peace and happiness to that
nation. (Hear, hear, and applause. If he could at any
time be of service to their asmsiation they were only to
command him. (Renewed applause).—Alderman E.
Cox then moved a hearty vote of thanks to the
president which WM duly acknowledged.—Mr. Gunder
intimated that the resolution just carried should bv, rkuly.

would be given of the next inenthly theeetlini.
