The Revised Version Of the New
Testament.
Nesc York Times

The following examples of the text of
the revised New Testament, which have
been given to the public in advance of
the meeting of the Convocation of Can.
terbury, give a fair idea of the character
and scope of the ten years work which
has been done by the two committees in
England and America. The book will
probably be published within the next
month, and it is said that a cheap ten
cent edition will be among the first given
to the public But little doubt is ex.
pressed by any member of the committee
that the Convocation will approve and
adopt the new version. Whether other
churches than the Church of England
will accept it is a question to be decided
in the future. Among the more striking
changes may be noted an alteration in
the Lords Prayer as rendered in Mat
thew, vi, 9-16. 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 for
given our debtors. And lead us not into
but deliver us from the evil
one" The prayer as recorded in Luke,
XII, 2, 8. 4. reads as follows in the re-
yised book Father, hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come Give us
day by day our daily bread. And for.
give US our sins, for we ourselves also
forgive every one that is indebted to us.
And lead US not into temptation" In
Matthew, w., 8, where the temptation of

Banquet of the Baltimore Press.

The annual banquet of the Press As
ISOLATION of Baltimore was held on Sa
turday evening at the Eutaw House, in
that city, and was in every respect a
successful and notable event. Among
the distinguished guests present on the
occasion were Mr.. Hayes, Senator Bay

That Rngged-edged Letter.

An officer of the Military Academy
tells Redfleld that there will be q sensa-
ticnal episode in the Whitaker case
before the trial is completed. 1t viii be
remembered that the note of warning
cut conspicuous figure in the Court of
Inquiry. 1t is the anonymous letter
signed GA Friend, " warning Whitaker
of intended violence, and which the ex-
pert endeavored to show was written by
Whitaker himself, because the ragged
edges where it had been torn fitted
exactly into the edges of corresponding
sheet found in the colored boys room.
This officer says that since the first trial
the expert has placed the paper under a
microscope and made photographs of it,
and when called to testify this time will
make some startling revelations. He
will demonstrate that the letter in
question was first written in pencil and
then traced in ink and the pencil marks
erased. The letter ga" in the signature

The great patronage attached to the
Post Office Department is the cause of
the struggle for that place in Mr.. Gar

great influence in the contest for the
next Republican Presidential nomina-

signed during the psst few weeks. On
the withdrawal of Gov. Foster from the
Ohio Senatorial struggle at Mr. Gar

reward, but the bitter opposition of the
Grant faction caused the abandonment
of that plan. Then, it was assigned to
Postmaster James of New York city, but

that disposition of it. Mr.. James name

While We admit to our columns the
communication of our correspondent,
"a Citizen of the United States" we
must express our dissent from the gen.
eral tenor Of his views. especially from
his Interpretation Of the extract which
he gives from Mr.. Parnell's letter
to the Land League, and which
the writer makes the basis
Of his harsh criticism of the course Of
the dauntless Irish patriot and those who,
under his lead, are struggling to eman-
cipate their country from British Oppres-
sion and cruel injustice. We think that
our correspondent entirely misinterprets
the meaning of Mr.. ParnelPs words. As
we understand Mr.. Parnen, he had
no reference whatever to the exist
ence of an Irish nation in Anne
RIGA" by the words sympathy
and practical help" he did not
mean active participation in war with
England; neither did he mean by "disas
trous results in America" a threat to
this country-an attempt to score the
United States" as our correspondent
expresses it. The idea which Mr.. Par
nell seeks to convey, as we under
stand his language, is simply
this: If the Irish people, now
struggling for their rights. by their con-
duct prove themselves worthy of their
cause, they will have the sympathy and
practical (pecuniary) help of the Ameri-
can people and the people of Irish
nationality in this country, while the
slightest flinching or reaction on their
part would have the disastrous result
of depriving them of that sympathy and
pecuniary aid for all time to come.
This seems to us to be the only fair
construction that can be put upon the
words italicised by our correspondent.
In giving utterance to this truth, Mr..
Parnell declared no recognition of an
Irish nation with big n In America,
committed no treason against our gov
eminent, nor made any attempt to
scare the United States"
We have no inclination to discuss the
general question of Mr.. Parnell's policy.
IN regard to which it would be remarka-
bic if there were not some differences of
opinion. 1t is not for US here to judge
of the policy of the course which the
Land Leaguers in Ireland have pur-
sured in the trying emergency of
their great struggle for emancipation
from the oppressive tenant system under
which they have so long suffered. 1t
is enough to know, as we do know, that
they are battling for the right, and in
that conflict they have our warmest
sympathy.
