Dr. Philip Schatf, chairman of the
| American section OF the Bible revisio II
committee addressed large audience at
| Pittsburg last Sunday on the revised tes-
lament. After briefly reviewing the
different translatIonS made from time to
| time the speaker said that for 10 years
there had been growing demand for Il
new translation. The reasons for such
revision were two. LIST. Changes in Ian
! guage 81. Progress in biblical scholar
| ship. Every living language changes
from time to time. Certain words have
changed their meaning to the direct op-
posite of what they formerly expressed
such as prevent" used in the sense OF
''precede." carriages" for baggage" and
''by and by" for forthwith" The most
important, however, is the growth OF
| knowledge. The forty-seven men who
made King James translation had none
of them been in Palestine and knew little
of biblical geography, and they were thus
| liable to make mistakes and did make
many. Since Egypt has given up her
| treasures semi-explored Palestine trav-
ersed, Babylon and Niueveh risen from
their graves to testify to the truth of the
| Bible and tender their manuscripts and
inscript to the explanation of some of It's
passages. Older manuscripts since dis
covered haye been used i'll the present
| revision and many actual errors rectlhed.
"Strain ut gnat" has been changed to
Strain out Ii gnat" and great many such
| Typographical errors corrected. Two
words III original were both translated
Hell, in King James version, Hades
meaning the abode OF souls after death
and Gehenua meaning the abode of the
damned. In the revision these have been
corrected. So also has Il distinction be-
tween devil and demon been made The
division into chapters. first made by d
Roman Catholic cardinal in the 18th cen
tury, and that into verses first made by
