I people carried. But in Queen Iiclorias day i'll
Emcans wheeled vehicle, something which car
rics the people.
b In all such instances the Greek has remained theS
&salne; il is the English only that has changed.
g But these are small matters in comparison with
Ethc alSr transations which arc given TO accomplish!
Isectarian ends. Take for example the 18th chap.
and 4t verse of Acts where il is said that llerod
Eimprisoned Peter intending after Easter to brngl
Ahim forth 10 the people, Eastcr!!" In thc|
Hname of sacred literature we ask when this was Il
EWliy foist into the Book of God word which i'll
Expiration never put there? Neither llerod nor|
Pctcr nor any OF that age had ever heard OF Sllch
Ea thing. Would you believe it, good reader, THAT
sthc word here rendered Easter" is TO paseha
Eswhich means the passover? Why then convert al
EJewisll feast into hcathen one? Hear it and De
HastoniShcd, 0 earth. 1t was done to make show
of authority for the Solemn feasts OF THE CHURCH.
e 1T is retained there for the same purpose Eastre
was a Saxon goddess and in her honor The
HCHURcH has instituted festal season and called 1T
#aftcr her name. Old John Wesley. in his transla-
Htion struck it from the text, so we have seen 1T
@stated, and put the true "Passover" in its place.
while many, very many of his followers are content
kthat in all its lidcous falsehood, Easter should
@earc from the Book of Gods inspiration. But
thus it must be- else how could the solemn feasts
Esof the Church" be maintained?
IA The next case VIC present is that of the word
" Church." which of right has no place in the Holy
SScripturcs, and which if We arc not mistaken had
no place there before the publication of the Bish
Hops Bible" Even old Bishop Cranmers version
Sh had it Congregation" Such is evidently the
%mcaning of the word ecclesia, however unsuited it
@may be to represent the establishments Romish or
t&Protestant which assume to be built upon the
II" Rock, However much it may offend the adro-
E Gates of succession" traced through long ages,
by Popes, Bishops, ordinances, governmental pecu-
iaritics or identity of doctrines. The congrega-
Htion against which Jesus said the Gates of Ilades
u should not prevail, was and is something different
Il from any of the sects now existing Some OF
these sects approach much nearer to the standard
4of Divine Truth than others; The members OF this
Hcongrcgation may be found in all the sects; but
sect can establish its claim to be THE congrcga
81 ton, alias Church" This position we have al
Hways occupied, and to the defence of it we are
81 fully committed.
Isl In the 18th chap. 1st Cor. the word charity,
'His repeatedly found This is wrong. The Greek
Hword is agape, and should in every instance be
Htranslatcd Glove" The origin of this translation
10 tlo to o1rnv
iEgiving. Whether or not this be true VIC cannot
Essay, but the rendering is wrong, and should be
Hcorrccted.
n In the cpistle to the Romans, the expression
81" God forbid frequently occurs. This is not
#faithful to the original. The word "God" is not
Efound in any of these passages that VIC remember.
EThc Greek is me gcnoito, and means far be it, by
&no means, &c. Errors Of this kind are said to be
~ more frequent in the Old Testament than the New,

Hto sec such, will find the whole matter ably dis

M Mr.. EpIToR:- In this progressive age when
