Our intelligence from Spencer Academy dated
as late as the I'd inst, is of distressing charac-
ter. The place had been visited by virulent
form OF malarial pneumonia, attended in some
cases by congestion of the brain. Three of IL G
pupils had been cut of after only few days
sickness, and the panic became so general that
1t was found necessary to suspend the school
some weeks before the usual time None of the
missionaries had suffered from the prevailing
disease, except to very partial extent. The
prevalence of malaria at Spencer Academy for
three or four years past has been so great that
1t Is deemed necessary to remove the institution
to some other locality which, of course, necessi-
tates Its suspension for some time to come A
letter from Mr.. Lloyd, of latter date, mentions
that he had received three persons into the COM

previous Sabbath.
We have intelligence from Campinas as late

had received three Brazilians into the commun-

mission In Southern Brazil and that the

predecessors. 1t was the work of men OF
vast erudition and of extraordinary abil-
ltles. OF one Of the forty-seven men who
were responsible for the work it was said
by an epigrammatic writer (what was
afterwards said by Byron of the cele-
brated Cardinal Mezzofanti) that he
might have been interpreter at the tower
of Babel. The Authorised Version has
in manner fixed the English language,
as Luther's Version subsequently fixed
the German. 1t became at once. and
will probably always continue to be, the
noblest of English classics. To attempt
to improve upon the English of this YER
sion, considered as matter of style,
would be to paint the lily or to refine
pure gold. This Incompatible exploit
was at last wholly the work of the Eng
lish, or Episcopal Church, but had been
substantially aided as we have seen by
the leaders of the Reformed theology.
Disseuters were inexorably ruled out of
the body of the revisers by royal mandate.
King James declared at the Hampton
Court Conference: II will make them
conform themselves, or else 1 will harry
them out of the land, or else do worse,
Just hang them, that is ALL" In reality
1T was King James's Bible only by court
esy, though by that monarchs lazy as
sent, and never received his imprimatur
even after it was finished. The royal in
struction to follow the Bishops Bible was
practically disregarded, and we see as
result the superior agency of Geneva and
even here and there of Rheims.

prolonged debate and probable schism in the
Church on the catechism question was happily
averted, by compromise whereby the Church
is provided by two catechisms instead of one
One wing of the Church wanted one based on
the Westminster Catechism while the other
wing had the catechism used in the old Protes-
tant Episcopal Church. modified to suit the
exigencies of the, Reformed Episcopal Church,
and they wanted that adopted. When, there
FORE the committee came in with their report
recommending the adoption of what may be
called the Westminster Catechsm, the objections
were sufficiently weighty to send the committee
back again to their room for further considera-
ton and more harmonious action. Later in the
day, when they appeared again with a recon-
mendation that both catechisms be permitted to
be used in churches, the recommendation was
adopted amid applause The bishops
were assigned to their several jurisdictions as
follows Bishop Sugden to have charge of the
work in England, as at present Bishop Cridge
to look after British Columbia and the Pa
cifc coast of the United States, as he does now
