bread And forgive us our sins, for we
ourselves also forgive every one that IS
indebted to us. And lead us not INTO
temptation." In Matthew w., D, where
the
TEMPTATION or CHRIST
is related, the old version says: "Then
the devil taketh Him up into the holy
city and setteth Him on Il pinnacle Of
the Temple" in this verse "a pima
Gle" is made TO read "the pinnacle"
and the change is manifestly proper,
since there WAS only one pinnacle to the
Temple.
Very many of the CELEBRATIONS are of
precisely such nature as this, the definite
article being substituted for the indeti-
mite, rice verSd Matthew, VII, l-"Iake
heed that YOU do not your aims before
mcn''--is made tOread, "lake heed that
We do not your righteousness before
men" which is looked upon rs u murh
brogder command, and more in accord
ance with the whole spirit of Christ
teachings. In Matthew, xix, II, lhe
entire meaning Of the text is changed,
but no new doctrine is put forth and no
old one assailed. In the King James
version the verse reads; "Why calest
thou me good? There j. none good but
one; thar is God. But II thou will en-
ter into life keep the commandments
In the new version the verse is as FOL
lows: ''Why askcth thou me concern
ing that which is good? One there Is
who is good: but il thou wondst enter
into life, keep the commandments.
The question II Mark, Will. jG-31,
"For what shall il profit man ii he
Shall gain the whole world and lose his
own soul? or what shall q man give in
exchange for his soul?" is rendered =
'For what doth it profit man to gain
the whole world aud forfeit his lile?-
For what should man give in eN-
change for his life| In Luke, TX, 30,
''And then came a voice out Of the
cloud saying, This is My beloved Sou;
hear nim," the new work reads, "Aud
Jhen came voice ont of the cloud say
ing, 'lhis Is My Son, My chosen"
In speaking ofCapernaum, Christ said,
az recorded in Luke, X, 10, l6, OF the ac-
cepied version: "And thou, Capcrnaum,
which art exalted to Heaven, shall 'be
thrust down 10 hell. He that heareth
YOU spenking TO His disciplcsI heareth
Me. and he that despseih y0ll dcsplselh
Me, and he that desplseth Me desplseth
Him that sent Me-"
The committee have
CHANGED THIS PASSAGE
very materially. Il reads; "And thou,
Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto
Heaven? thou shalt be brought down
unto llades. He that heare'h You hear
eth Me, and he that reiec-
teth YOU roiecteth he, and ne that rclec-
tcth Ne relecteth Him that sent Me-
Luke, xvi, s, 8. have also been male
rally changed. In the present version
thcyread "Aud the Lord commended he
unjust steward because he had done
wisely for the children Of this world
are il their generation wiser than the
children Of light. And say unto you,
make tp Yourselves friends Of tha MANI
mon Of fUurighlcou,ncss, that when We

two verses read as follows: "Aui the
Lord commended the unjust steward be-
cnutn hp had done wisely. For l'r sons
ol t,lia world are, for their own genera
ton. wiser than The sous of the lighL
