The Rev. William f. BainbTidge OF Provi-
dence, who has been travelling for TWO years
through the missionary fields OF Europe and
Asia. gave his views or the progress or foreign
mission work In an address before the Baptist
Preachers Conference yesterday. He said that
the popular idea that the ancient religions OF
the East are dying out was erroneous. Living
below the religions OF Buddha and Confuctu5
was an ancient superstition, which was aimO &c
impregnable. The revival or buddhism was
evident, and they had Just erected a marble
temple IN ktoto, costing S20c.OO0. which

IN Hindostan he had dined with several Bran
minis or the highest caste who had been con
yerted TO Christianity. The Eagllsh language
he said, WAS rapidly coming In favor Ia CHINA
and japan. In which latter country he had ad-
dressed over fifty native young men who I'M
derstood all his words He said much good was
expected by the Christian people or Greece

schools he thought France needed American

- Some members or the American committee
on the revision OF the Bible which has been In
use In the Protestant world since 1911 known
as the King James version, delivered addresses
to large audience at Emmanuel p. Z. church
Baltimore. last night, In order 10 excite an in

Washington and other cities. The New Tesla
ment viii be published In February. 1881, and
the Old Testament about two years later. Adj
dresses were delivered by Rev. ID. Philip Schaff
professor In the Union Theological seminary,
New York, chairman OF the committee; Rev
Joseph Packard, professor In the thee
Logical seminary, Alexandria. Va, and Rev.
T. w. Chambers, Collegiate Reformed Dutch
Church. New DIRK, members or the committee.
DR.. Schaf spoke OF the unity, harmony and
fraternity OF feeling which characterized the In
tercourSe and work OF the committee. thus
giving good augury that the revision will sat
isfy the different churches interested in the re-
vision, While the spirit or concord, when dif-
ferent constructions were discussed and one
was finally centered upon affords assurance OF
greater correctness. DR.. Packard described
Tyndalrs, Matthew'S. CTammers ana other
uanslations which preceded that now In

sion was cherished that II was originally
written and spoken in the language in which
they read it daily. Dr. Chambers said the trans
lators OF the present Bible mad not the same ad-
vantages that now exist. More editions OF
parts. more critical commentaries on the Old
and New Testament are accessible now. Lexf-
geography, archaeology. grammar, sacred geog-
raphy were in their infancy then. Errors are
now often corrected in pulpitS sometimes quiet
ly, sometimes more 1njuriously, and often In
commentaries. III there are books added and
books omitted improperly. as the vast majority
Of scholars now think; IL the Bible is so divided
I'm chapters and verses as TO cloud the meaning,
ought it not TO be remedied? Individual efforts
at revision have been ignominious failure
