4 SAMPLE

In the tweniy-fourth chapter, fourtifverse,
of the New Testament, according to ST. LIKE.
it it said, in the King james version, that
two men stood by them in shining gar
ments." The reyisers have changed this
reading to ''dazzing apparel" Those who
think the new version Of the Bible should be
or will be adopted. may make note of this,
which is only fair sample Of many pedantic
changes. ..Shining garments" plain, clear
cut English ''dazzling apparel is hog-wash
English Of the worst character. We should
think that some green reporter. just out OF
college, must have been the most industrious
and influential of the ''reyisers. '-.fieAison
