REVISION OF THE BIBLE.-The subject of the
revision Of the present English translation of the
Bible continues to receive considerable attention
in England. The London Times has published
two long letters by the Rev. DR.. Cummings, in
the second of which he contrasts, bylextracts the
authorized translation with the Douay and Rheims
versions, the Unitarian Improved Testament, and
some of the recent issues of the American Bible
Union, and concludes by saying that besides dis
playing literary inferiority, the Douay or Rheims
translation is inspired by a Romish bias, the new
version of the American Union by Baptist and
Ration alistic bias, and the Improved Version
by Unitarian bias.
