Au Error in The sun.

We offer our profound apologies to the
readers Of THE Sun for making such an
error as we Inadvertently fell into the
other day, when, in discussing the Brook
Ign revival, and quoting some passages Of
Scripture applicable thereto, We attTb-
uted to one of the postles some words
which were really written by another OF
them. We are reminded by host of ac-
cuiutc critics who have peen kind enough
to send MS letters on the subject, that 1t
was the Apostle JAMES, aud not PAUL, who
said; 81 viii show thee my faith by my
works"
The passage may be found in the 18Th
verse of tho second chapter OF the General
Epistle of JAMES, or, 10 use the ordinary
formula, JAMES H., Is. Ia dealing with
such questions as require us 10 appeal To
Scripture, we desire not only to be- literally
exact in our quotations, but to give them
their original meaning, place them in their
true relations, use them in proper way,
aud credit them to their actual writers.
We consider the point last mentioned tobe
one Of exceeding importance. BY correct
ly stating the authorship, we assist people
in verifying the quoted passages for them
selves, and may lead them to perusc the
context to inquire fully into the subject
under discussion, and thus 10 make up
their minds as TO the business Of the views
that may he taken, or the deductions that
may be drawn, by THE Sun.
There il another reason for being exact
rs 10 this matter of authorship. There is Il
very great difference OF style among the
writers OF the various books Of the Bible.
Some of thom-pTOphots ana apostles pos
! sessod imaginative minds, and wrote in "a
| glowing style; others were plain minded
men, ana wrote in their naturally plain
way; some of them were scholars, aud
| others were not. Some wrote narratives,
others wrote in the poetic or in the dra-
matte form, while still others wrote in "A
didactic way. Some gave greater promi-
nencc than others gave to certain features
of religion, and they also differed in their
peculiar methods of viewing and treating
its various features. Some parts Of the
Bible are applicable to special ercum-
stances, or n given class of people. Some
OF tho writers had particular purposes IN
view, particular doctrines or duties to en-
force, in THEN writings, or in parts thereof
On these accounts the student of the
Scriptures should always note the author
ship Of the passages he may read, should
observe the style Of their writers, and
should consider the circumstances under
which they were written.
These ideas do not belong exclusively Il
us. They have been held by all the grea
doctors OF the faith and all Biblical exese

when the six months trial was at last
over. Mr.. BEECHER and his partisans drew
n breath of relief. Though the battle was
LEGALLY drawn one, yet it was assumed
that 20 tired were the public with the very
name Of tho scandal, they would now only
too gladly bury the foul thing out Of sight.

they were wrong. Tho dotermiuation 10

now ,u-piciors. In the effort to smother

old amt stirred mp now issues.
Tho BrUCIIrR scandal is not to be got rid
OF by refusing TO look where II is. Not
merely Plymouth Church, but the whole
Cmrioe iioual denomination are conccin-

city is content TO 90 on with Mr. BEEcHER

through which he had gone had stuck to

he bclon ana the large communion with
which hIs church is associated cannot
afford TO ignore the scandal brought
upon il.
The extracts which we give this morning
from the LdpCudcw and the COnGrcgd-

ConRrl pdtional Church, show how deeply

In addition to this statement, which is
50 thoroughly fortified by Mr.. ALpAMAs
high personal character n TO need no cor

tailed account, taken from the hooks of
the agency, OF all the bonds that have
been printed and disposed Of, as wen by
Mr.. ALBANIA n by his only predecessor,
Mr.. JosE MORALES l4E5irs. deceased; and
tins account renders il certain that no
bonds have been given away in this coun-
try by the Government of cuba or its
agents for any purpose whatever; nor
have any been sold TO any person at a less
rate than the regular price at which Cubans
have subscribed aud paid for them. This

but with this the agent of the Cuban re-
public has nothing whatever to do. 1t is
also very possible that the Ring around
the White House may have made contracts
to buy either Il large part or the whole OF

hope Of making handsome thing out OF

If one wishes to deduce from the cleo
tons Of last year reasonably safe couclu-
honsin regard 10 the elections OF next year,
the proper test for computing the loss and
gain OF the two parties IL 10 compare the
results Of this year wi it'll those Of last year,
mud not with those Of lS13 or lsil. The
reason for this Is obvious. In 1877 the Dem

In 1873 party lines were partially broken in

Grangcrism. Autobiography, or Liberal
ism, winch confused the figures to mn un-
usual degree. In this state il will be re-
memb red. the Liberal state Convention
adopted a pant OF each ticket. and the can
didatps they selected were successful.
But the more mpoi liant reason for COM
pairing the figures Of Inst year with those
of the present Is that the results of
last fall's elections throughout the conn
try made il appear certain That the Demo-
Gratis would elect the next President pro-
vided they could maintain, or pretty
