syrups." They have blandly assured
us that the changes, though many would
be so small that most readers of the Bible
would meyer notice them. This, alas
may be very true; but if whole books oil
the canon were to be exscinded from the
ancient volume, it is to be feared that
some readers of the Bible would not be
prompt to observe the defect. But those
good and able men have been telling us
that the result of their protracted labors
was to be so stringent and cautious re-
vision OF the work of 1911 that the very
rhythm OF the familiar English was to be
retained. These were delightful visions
that were held out to us, and no doubt
In the best of faith; but in the light OF
subsequent revelations may we not be
pardoned if we suspect Cat least for a

prophesied to us smooth things? Was
1T altogether fair to proceed so quietly to
undermine the basis of the authorized
tert 2 The question is not the general
question as to the comparative value of
the critical readings on the one hand and
the recepta on the other. The question
is as to the propriety of so radical a
change In a revision of such meek de-
meanor and such humble pretensions.
We advocate the presence of critical texts
in the critical editions of the Greek, and
even In critical translations for the use
OF specialists. The thing we scruple at
is the fundamental transformation of the
Bible of the people under the name and
title OF rather trivial and very harm
less revision. Even on critical princi-
pies the longer passages excepted to,
might we'll be bracketed, rather than
wholly eliminated. There are at least
four of the Ourselves of the Alerandria7a
class .. e., those which present an ancient
text that agree in attaching the account
of the woman taken in adultery to Luke
xxi, and one of these is the well known
Codex of Leicester now in the custody of
the town council of that venerable city
and we might add that the closing verses
of Mark were believed by Tregelles to be
portion of the sacred text, though it
might be that they were added by an
other inspired hand
We do not hesitate to say that as a
mere rendering idiom for idiom of the
original Greek the forthcoming version
will be more exact and scholarlike than
anyof its predecessors. What we chiefly
fear is that the immortal English of our
greatest classic, the English of the golden
age of Elizabethan strength and racy
simplicity and popularity, the homely
but incompatible dialect of the yeomanry
is to be superseded by the bastard Eng
lish of contemporary scholars, many Of
whom seem to know everything better
than their mother tongue.

Retrenchment and Reform

Thus far we have gone over ground on
this subject, which has not, and perhaps
Will not be disputed, but when we ask
Shall we have but single treasurer. him
a deacon and bonded officer. to receive
and disburse the benevolent funds of orr
church? we are not sure that all are
agreed in full. Yet even here. both the
majority and minority are agreed, LIST.
mat the treasurer should be bonded
othcer. For our present treasurers of
Home and Foreign Missions, of Publica-
ton, and no doubt of Education, are all
bonded. We see no reason why there
ought not to be perfect agreement; Cd.
that one man could receive and disburse
all the contributions of our Church. The
contributions to the six causes of orr
Church, amounted in 1879 and 1880 to
S252,63l. Surely no one will saw that we
cannot find within our General Assembly
a deacon who could receive and disburse
that amount of money. But Sd. Some
say II a single treasurer is appointed the
whole scheme will break down. We
throw the burden of proof from our
shoulders, by denying the proposition.
and by the indisputable statement. that
we have some where in some of orr
churches, deacon who can do all the
work OF such treasurer. We can claim
perfect agreement in this last statement.
Now 4th. This treasurer ought to be a.
deacon. 1t seems to me that we are led
to this position by the following chain:
l. We are Presbyterians 2. We are
Presbyterians believing in the divine
right of Presbytery. 8. We have our
Form OF Government, divinely appointed,
with its officers divinely arranged. each
having his specific duties clearly defined
in the word of God. 4. This divinelv
arranged Form of Government, is.intend-
ed to meet all the exigencies of the case,
in the performance by every officer, of
the duties belonging to his office. Then
9th. 1t remains only to show that the
duties of the treasurer are DIAGONAL
What necessity is there here of labored
argument2 1.-THE duties of this Office
especially relate to the care of the poor,
and to the collection and distribution of
the offerings of the people for pious uses,
under the direction of the Session. To
the deacons, also, may be properly COM
mitted the management of the TEMPORAL
affairs Of the Church" Who can resist
the conclusion, that whether we have one
or more treasurers, they ought to be dea-
cons. 1t one can perform all the work
OF the treasurer, then why have more?
If the positions here taken are not ten
able, let us have them overthrown. IF
we are to be governed by the word of
God as interpreted by our Form of Gov
eminent, for one, am bound to confess.
that we have no right to call either "min-
listers OF the Word" or rulers in Gods
house to serve tables" For the SER

Corn for FueI.

There are localities In the West and
North West where scarcity Of Fuel
has forced people 10 burn corn again
this season. The frequent recurrence
Of the fuel famine in those places leads
a correspondent ofthe St. Paul Pioneer
Press to suggest what he calls q Prac-
teal solution Of the problem. Coal
cannot be found, and the. use Of wood
Will soon exhaust the available supply
of that article. Com Is the only sub
stitute, and must be the fuel Of the
future. For stoves it is superior to
any other substance, hard coal alone
excepted, and it is cheaper than any
thing that is likely to be used for fuel.
| Two or three acres of corn will afford
an ordinary family years supply Of
Suel; and this writer alleges that the
q NE corn sold in the market, and the
rro Heeds turned into either wood CT
coal, will not begin to do it.
Res qrding the squeamishness about
| burning an article that is used for food,
the writer says pointedly: II would
sooner have an acre Of corn that can
be replaced III q single year, than to
burn an acre e timber that takes years
| to replace, eY-n an the score of senti-
| ment." There ia common sense In this
Ii it is cheaper for people on the fer
file nrairies to raise here fuel, as they
do their food, and saH what little tim
/ Der they have for other purposes, sen

ter tlem from doing so. lore cooked
food IS daily thrown away tn would
feed the hungry poor, and it is done

can be no excuse for this wastefulnts'
there is a gooJ reason for burning corr

Iing's connection with the Sprague
scandal, and the reporter of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer telegraphs to that
journal as follows:
ga learned judge, in commenting
upon this terrific editorial tonight,
said: 4 do not see how Conkling could
remain silent under that editorial. If
1 were the subject of that editorial, I
would kill the writer, or never again
expect to hold up my head among
decent men," An Ohio official, hold
ing high position, said this evening:
You have no idea of the feeling in
our State against Conkling on account
of this Sprague affair. We all feel that
he has dragged down one of the most
honored names in our State, and de-
graded in the vile slough of his soci-
ETY. the fame. of one of our social
queens. His pursuit of Mrs. Sprague,
when be knew that his attentions only
made her the laughing stock of Wash
ington, has had much to do with Mr..
Hayes dislike of Conkling and his
desire to break down his political
power in New York. l know that
Gen. Garfield has the Gne feeling of
indignation. We Ohio people, who
were so proud of the Chase family
feel Mrs. Sprague's depreciation al
most as much as if she had been &
member of our families"

Col. A. X. Mcclure. editor Of the
Philadelphia Times, has just fnished
a cnreful and extended tour of the
South. He says: "The sew census
of the South ends all dispute in re-
gard to the substantial advancement
of the reconstructed States. Instead
of being the theatres Of thrittlessness
and disorder they have Shamed the
demagoguss of both sections by the
harmony Of conflicting races and in
terests, and the wonderful increase of
industrial products" And the Boston
Herald surveying the South from an
important standpoint, says: THE
Northern leaven is working at the
South. There car be no longer any
honest doubt of the fact that this sec
ton is animated by new spirit, and
has entered upon career of new pros
perity and progress.
