THE LORDS PRAYER.
The Lords Prayer is changed in the
new Revised Version in a few particu-
lars. The difference can be seen by
reading the two versions:

THE 18TH CHAPTER OF 1ST CORN
THIANS.
This chapter of Paui's Epistle to the
Corinthians has always been admired
for its beauty. The revisers have
changed it somewhat. The revised
version may be better translation; but
the substitution of the word love for
charity destroys to some extent the
rhythn1ical flow of the language, and it
does not sound as we'll as the older YER
sion:
IfI speak with the tongues of men
and Of angels, but have not love, l am
become sounding brass, or a changing
cymbal. And if 1 have the gift of pro-
phecy. and know all mysteries and all
knowledge; and if I have all faith, so
as to remove mountains; but have not
love, I am nothing. And if I bestow
all my goods to feed the poor, and if I
give my body to be burned. and have
not love, it protiteth me nothing. Love
sufereth long, and is kind; love envi-
eth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not
pulled up, doth not behave itself un-
seemly, seeketh not its own, is not pro-
voked, taketh not account of evil; re-
ioiceth not in unrightcousness, but re-
ieiceth with the truth; beareth all
things: believeth all things, hopeth all
things, endureth all things. Love new
er faileth; but whether there be tongues,
they shall cease; whether there be
knowledge, it shall be done away. For
we know in part, and we prophesy in
part; but.when that which is perfect is
come. that which is in part shall he done
away. When I was child, l spoke as
child. felt as child, thought as a
child: now that am become man,
have put away childish things. Fol
now we see in mirror darkly; bu>
then face to face: now I know in part
but then shall I know even as also
have been known. But now abideth
faith, hope, love, these three; and the
greatest of these is love.
