lu6 T0SulG Is Gudt GQ0 WOTk Is very SCQOl-
arly, but the text is not so plain as it might
have been made by treer translation
The changes, on the whole, are not Of a
character to create any alarm in the minds
of Christians. Not a single accepted
truth has been eliminated, and no special
doctrine of the Church is assailed.
Among the more striking changes may
be noted an alteration in the Lords pray
or as rendered IN Matthew, vi, 9-13. In
the new version the doxology Is entirely
omitted and the prayer reads thus: "Our
Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be
Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will
be done, as in Heaven, so on earth. Give
us this day our daily bread, and forgive us
our debts, as we also have forgiven our
debtors. And lead us not into tempta-
ton, but deliver us from the evil one -
The prayer as recorded in Luke, x., 2, 8,
4, reads as follows in the revised book
Father, halloweG be Thy name. Thy
kingdom come. Give us day by day our
daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for
we ourselves also forgive every one that is
indebted to us, and lead US not into temp
tation." In Matthew w., 5, where the
TEMPTATION OF CHRIST
is related, the old version says: ''Then the
devil takeJh Him up into the holy city
and setteth Him on pinnacle of the Tenn
ple," In this verse "a pinnacle" is made
to read s'the pinnacle" and the change is
manifestly proper, since there was only
one pinnacle to the Temple.
Very many of the alterations are of pre-
clsely such nature as this, the definite ar
ticle being substituted for the indefinite,
and vice versa. Matthew, vi, 1-''Take
heed that ye do not your aims before men,
is made to read. ''Take heed that We do
not your righteousness before men, y which
is looked upon as much broader COM
mand, and more in accordance with the
whole spirit of Christ's teachings, In
Matthew, xix, II, the entire meaning of
the text is changed, but no new doctrine
is put forth and no old one assailed. In
she King James version the verse reads
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1881-02-11

to face this dangerous resort that fifteen
wears afterwards we find him arrayed in
the national convention of his party
against the incarnation of the idea Of that
ssstronger government in the person of
the late general Of the American army.
SO captivating is the cry OF peace and Or
der, something always promised with a
strong government, that men are apt to
praise it loudly in the distance but when
it is brought nearer and the dark cloud OF
despotism that is ever behind its throne
comes into view, freemen pause and look
away from it to the happier picture OF
Republic governed by a constitution.
1t is peculiarly noticeable that the
American people, whenever the question
between Capitalization Of power in the
Federal government and the preservation
of the rights of the states has been sub
mitted directly to them, have almost in
variably decided against the Republican
candidate who has been taken as the rep
reseatative of the former. Mr.. Lincoln
went into the Presidency with million
majority against him on the popular vote,
and at his second election though war was
raging at the time he received only some
three hundred thousand majority in:the 10y
al states over his opponent, Met lellan, in
total vote Of four million. In 1876, the
first time Presidential election was held
after peace was restored, with a real
Democratic candidate and all the states
voting, Mr.. Hayes went anto Office in 9
minority of third of million on the
popular vote. And next March, President
elect Garfield will 60 into office also a third
of a aaiHion votes in the minority though
the vote was the largest eyer cast by the
