Rev. S. II. Cone presented various
communications addressed to him by as
soc;at ons, churches and individuals, If
different parts Of our country, in relation
to the resolutions of the American Bible
Society, passed Feb, II, 1886, and urg
ing the adoption Of immediate measure:
for the formation Of a Bile Society II
the Baptist denomination, unless those res
buttons should be rescinded al the annu
nj meeting ofthe Society.
Afer full and protractcd discussion, th'
i following preamble and resolutions WeT'
adopted:
Whereas, the Board Of Managers 0
! he American Bible Society at their meet
ing on the 18th Of Feb. 1886, adopted tn
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., viz:
/. By the Constitution Of the Amer
can Bi5,e Society, its managers are, /
the circulating of the Holy Scriptures
restricted to such copies as are "wthor
note or comment - and in the Englls
language, TO 1.-The version in commo
usc." The design of these RESTRICTION
clearly seems to have been to simplify an
mark out the duties Of the Society, so I'M
all the religious denominations of whIc
it is composed might tremendously uni
5 in performing these duties.
2. AS the managers are now called
aid extensively in circulating the Sacre
Scriptures in languages other than II
= Eng dish, they deem it their duty, m co
= formity with the obvious spirit OF the
J., compact, to adopt the following resol
tons as the rule Of their conduct in ma
, ing appropriations for the circulation
=, the Scriptures in all foreign tongues.
n Resolved, That in appropriating m
nev for the translating, printing or q
;, tributing of the Sacred Scriptures IN fc
l. eign languages, the Managers feel at I'b'
ty to encourage only such versions
b, conform in the PRINCIPLES Of their trans
l. ZION to the common English version,
least so far as that all the religious demo
O. nations represented in this Society C
n consistently use and circulate said verso
in their several schools and communitl
h, Resolved, That a copy OF the abe
preamble and resolution be sent to each
Il, the missionary boards accustomed to
ceive pecuniary grants from this Soc'e
o. with a request4hat the same may be ira
en- rdtted to their respective missions static
where the Scriptures are in process
