AFTERNOON SESSION.

The Society reassembled at 3 p. NJ. in the Mul-
berry.street Baptist Tabernacle. The attendance
was nearly as large in the morning. The exer-
cses were even more interesting than in the earlier
part of the day.
Dr. CONE mounted the pulpit, and began long
and detailed historical account of the attempts OF
the American and Foreign Bible Society to
establish the New Version. A large portion OF
this paper consisted of extracts from the various
Addresses of the President DIR. c., from the or
ganization of the Society to the present time, in
support of the New Version. DR.. Cone announced
his views TO be clear definite, consistent and I'M
wavering from the beginning to the present day.
We throw ourselves lsaid he,) upon the Providence
of God and our resources, for giving TO all man.
kind pure and unatered Bible.
These quotations The coDtlnued) make 1t evident
that the Board of Managers agreed with the Pres
ident in making the aim Of this Society the attain
ment of a pure Bible Translation He mentioned
the name of DIR. bowling in connection with a let
ter written by that gentleman to the Oliyerst.
Female Bible Society, regarding the transfer sys-
TEN in translating Dr. Cone was quite inclined to
believe that DR.. Bowling was inconsistent in de-
crying transferrings then yet UNFOLDING the trans
fer Of" Bapti-e' now. This was the only personal
alluson lsave to himself) made by Dr. Cone in the
course of his remarks. AS will be seen below, the
observations thrown out respecting Dr. Downing,
drew forth reoinder from that gentleman. DIR.
Cone passed 10 a consideration of other topics.
He questioned the supersttious regard with which
King James's ersiOn is generally regarded. I'M
provement must be the order Of the day-n obedi-
ence to the progressive spirit OF our language, and
the extension of Biblical criticism. DR.. Gone re-
viewed bis efforts tossue the New Nersion; show
ing the causes and the manner of the failure Of his
Version enterprise, as he styled it. What he
had suffered, God only knows. Here | am; can
not move-so help me God During the whole ex.
istence of the American and Foreign Bible Society,
we have been met by Baptist opposition. Some
who were not opposed altogether, insisted on con-
timing the Society TO the Foreign field. And in
addition to all this, our New England friends have
looked upon our Society as being in the way OF
their Foreign Missions. This has been avowed by
them to my face, said DR.. c. 1t has even been
dltlcult for me TO maintain that Christian fellow
ship which is always so pleasant with these
New England brethren. This the DR.. very much
regretted-but he kept 10 his text AS an ind-
vldusl an American, a Baptist said he | shall
