THE Revised NEW TESTAMENT
For the last ten years committee Of
the finest Biblical Scholars from all
the Evangelical churches both in
Europe and America, 50 of the form
.er and q Of the latter have been en-
gagged in the revision Of the Old and
New Testaments. The latter is now
ready for the press and will be ready
for circulation some time in May. 1t
is not necessary for US to enter into
an elaborate statement Of the reasons
which has brought about this, the
| grandest result to the christian
church, that has transpired since the
year 1911, the date Of the translation
Of the present authorized version.
Suffice it to say, that the interpola-
tions that had inadvertently crept
into the old version and want Of a
clear and full translation of the orig
snail text has led great many Bible
students into misconception Of the
real meaning of the scriptures and
has also given to infdelity in many
cases justifiable reasons for their
hostility to the Christian religion.
These are in great measure remov-
ed. To every lover of right and
truth, which is the religion ofJesus,
we are happy to say that the New
Revision will disarm to q great ex-
tent the enemies of Christianity and
will lead all true and honest seekers
after the will Of God concerning
themselves and humanity in general
more readily, and in smoother
pathway into better and clearer
knowledge Of the meaning of the
sacred text.
W. W. Harper, Esq, having Sc
cured the Agency for this work in
| the counties Of Mason and Jackson,
will canvass the same, and will call
upon every person in these counties,
and we hope he will receive a liberal
number Of subscribers to this revised
work. No work that has ever been
brought before the christian world
for the last 270 years had in it such
vast interests as the new version of
the New Testament Of our Lord Jesus
Christ. 1t is Endorsed and recon-
mended by the best scholars of the
age both in the church and out of it.
The Theologian and Divine from his
pulpit, the Judge from his bench,
the Professor from his studio and the
Philosopher from his sanctum, all
unite in bidding it God speed. But
in this we have said enough. 1t is
what we have been wanting for ages.
1t is what we want today. You
want it. Every body needs it, and
all must have it.
"To be or not to be" is now the
question with the bar-rooms, in Mon.
roe county. Whether lit is better
to bear the ills we have than fly to
those we know not of is a grave
question to be decided by the next
County Court, AS for ourselves we
are willing that the traffic in alec
holic drinks should be banished en-.
tirely from the land, butif bar-rooms
are to be abolished to make room for
illicit selling of whiskey, we favor
the bar-rooms. If it must be sold lei,
the State derive a revenue therefrom.
If it can be abolished denying Ii.
cense, let the license be denied.eAL-
dersoa Enterprise.
This same question will be up at
The next meeting of our County
Court. Our County Commissioners
decided at a former meeting not to
grant license, but since that time a
license council has been elected in
Point Pleasant, and they will grant
a certificate to obtain q license, and
clothed with this authority, those
who want to sell, will go before the
Court and ask that a license be grant.
ed them. Several attorneys have
been employed in the interest of the
saloon men. The matter is al,ogeth.
er in the hands Of the County Court.
We shall see what we shull see.
i CARD OF THANKs.-To our friends
and neighbors, Of New Haven and
vicinity, who labored with us, and
for US, during the illness and death
of our little girl, We are under many
obligations.
