in a great necessity, Btr! Mcknight gives great
many reafons why the Holy Scriptures should be
revised and re-trsnslaied. Numerous authors ioF
centuries past, have demanded these corrections.
The speaker had arranged these authorities, bat

says il is high honor 20 labor and 70 give Tor the
propagation Of Gods Truth. Why, Sir labor AMI

privilege to aid and foster Labor under any cfc1u-
stances. II IL good for the booy to work -ior the
mind to vorS-lor Individuals, societies and nations

sacroe offrends they did it at the loss Of life They
ioved TO do it: and every good man esteems II an
honor 10 Dor for God-to be aworker IN the cause
Of God. The speaker passed to consideration OF
the movements in the Eighteenth Century IN favor
of corrected Version. Wesley South, Geddes,
Wakefield, and many other great and good men,
wrote chapter after chapter, page alter page, De
seeching the authorities that were, to give them
New Translation Of the Bible, that God might
speak in His own voice. And is thiS the time 10
hesitate Mr.. A. went on 20 argue FOR the New
Version rs being Of fer greater purity-as a guard
against Infdelity, that the cayier may md no
errors Ct translation to seize upon-and, finally, as
tending 10 promote true Christian union. Let us
labor said he in conclusion, not rs Baptsts, or par
ticular churches, but as universal Christians.
Labor cooly, and be in no great hurry; and after
we have the Version, let Us labor kindly, with
hearts full Of love, feeling no bitterness against
tLose with whom we differ.
