yet he would be bold innovater who
should contend for the propriety of an
alteration. The reason is obvious. In
plucking up the tares the revising critics
would be in danger of plucking up the
wheat also. 1t may indeed be retorted
here that an exceedingly conservative
revision, one jealous of all but absolutely
necessary changes and such as have been
rendered inevitable by the process of
time, would be altogether desirable even
in the substance, or at all events in the
phraseology, of our Church symbols.
Admitting the plausibility of this state
ment, 1 waive its discussion by conceding
the point Gas has in point of fact been
done already in one of the previous
articles) that such jealous and conser-
vative revision of the Authorized English
Bible was on the whole in itself desirable,
and might, under the proper guards and
restrictions, in all likelihood be ventured
upon. Whether more than this should
be attempted in the way of a revision
and improvements of more radical kind
should be proposed and carried forward,
is far more delicate matter to deter
mine. 1t is probably impossible to draw
theoretical line, or frame general def
milton, to which the work of revision
should be made to conform. 1t will, not
withstanding, be comparatively easy
task to adjust the results of the actual
labor to the standard of sound scholar
ship, of common sense, of ordinary pro-
priety, and Christian prudence. To that
task the writer of these comments,
amongst the host OF other critics, would
now seriously address himself; and what
he has to offer will naturally fall under
consideration of the last and most COM
prehensive of the three subordinate ques-
tions already several times referred to,
viz: On any view of the previous discus
sion, is it beyond doubt sure that the
present Revision, of 1880-'S1, ought to
be substituted in lieu of the Authorized
Version of King James, of 1911?
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1881-06-29

hand. The month of July is now dis
tlnguished in our church by the presen-
tatien of this cause. More than one hun
dred families are dependent for assistance
upon the effort to be made at this time.
Some of these are extremely needy and
are kept from suffering by the bounty
supplied through this channel. Among
them, there are about thirty aged and
intirm ministers who are no longer able
to work, but who need the ministrations
OF their Christian brethren The others
are families of deceased ministers, whose
widows and orphans look to the Church
to be cared for and comforted in their
poverty and affliction. Surely ministers
and sessions will see to it that collec-
tion is raised in all the churches, and
our Christian people will esteem it a
privilege to contribute literally to succor
those whose claims upon them are so
tender and strong. The fund has been
sufficient for several years past. Let the
effort be made at the present time to sup
ply abundantly its wants.
Mite Chests for Home Missions.
1t is proposed by friend of the cause
to send Unite chest" to every person,
family or Sabbath School teacher who
will agree to use them for this cause.
The on y conditions to be complied with
are, l, it is expected that as far as prac-
ticable something shall be deposited in
them at least once week; and 2, they
shall be opened at least twice year, o..
September 1st and March 1st, and their
contents be forwarded to the Home Mis-
sion treasury. Any one can obtain
chest by sending his name and Post-of-
flee address to the Office of Home Mis-
sions, Post-ofice box 33l, Baltimore
1t is hoped that many of them will be
called for. 1t is believed that our
friends, young and old, will be surprised
to find how much they will be able to
save in this unostentatious way for this
great cause which now languishes and is
In distress for want of adequate means to
support it.
