has been sent by the editors of the Christian
Union to a large number of clergymen and
theological teachers with the request for an
opinion upon the merits and prospects of the
work. Thirty replies are published in the
Christian Union of June 8, and they are re-
markably alike in certain moderation, in
the statement that the revised translation is
nearer the meaning of the original writers
than is any other English translation, and
that the revised edition Of 1881 is entitled to
candid reception. Such are the sentiments
of Presidents McCosh and Porter, Drs. Pea
