subject Revs. Messrs. Mitchell and Dunning made
statements from the newspapers and other source

Presbyterians were connected with tho new Trans
laton. He wanted il to be stated not only that wa
have no connection with the matter but that we
know of no Presbyteriaus who are engaged in it,

of the Gene, al Assembly, which, in very strorg
language rebuke this whole movement, and rt-
commend the old version.
