\ NEW TRANsLATION.-We have re-
ceived frequent inquiries for the transla-
ton Of the Lords Prayer, made many
years ago by the now venerable DR.. Cox,
and we present it herewith as eminently
worthy of study and preservation;
Our Father, who art in the Heavens
be sanc6fed thy name: come Thy king
dom; be done Thy will, as in Heaven also
on the earth; give us daily our necdful
food and forgive Us our sins, az we also
forgive them that sin against us and bring
us not into probation; but rescue Us from
the wicked one since to Thee belongs the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory
for ages infinite. Amen.-Matt 6 9-13
