THE REVISED BTBL.

The APPEAL acknowledges the re-
ceipt of the revised edition of the New
Testament from Bancroft & Co., San
Francisco. 1t is book of 400 pages,
printed on the University press, Oxford,
artistieaIly but cheaply bound and print
ed in loaded primer. The work OF re-
Vision was done by two coni,1i!tees,
one in America and one in England,
ThctWo international committees have
been er ,s"gd in one and the same
work. The work of the English COM.
mittee have been submitted to the
American committee, and rice versa.
No changes have been made except by
atwO-thirds vote, and after examination
by each member, as well asconsultation
in committee. Each company has gone
over the ground twice, and i'll difficult
portions three times. Reference has
been made to divines, scholars, and
literary men, not members of either
committee. Ia case of unadjusted diff
ferences, the opinions are to be submit
ted to the work itself. Their work is
believed to be entirely undenomina-
tional The active members of the Eng
fish committee have numbered forty
two; of the American committee,
twenty-seven. Their service has been
continued for ten years on the other
side of the ocean and for nine years on
this, and it is claimed that, to say
nothing OF an Improved Greek scholar
ship, they have had access to such
original manuscript authority as was
beyond the reach or knowledge of their
predecessors. What will be the effect
of this revision remains to be seen.
There are manyssw!Io will consider
that the fact that revision was, neces-
sary, removes all idea that the Scrip
tural writings are inspired. Inanother
column will be found an opinion of a
leading London newspaper on the mat
ter, claiming that the review has not
been cordially received. If the mean
ing of obscure sentences can be made
clearer the revision will work good. Just
at a time, however, when the book is
assailed from all sides, the seeming ac-
acknowledgement Of its imperfections
comes in bad time.

WHY HE STOPPED.

Like all public men, General Garfield
has, drank considerable liquor in his
time, but he drinks none now. When
asked why he stopped, he replied:
"You know we had a pretty hot cam
vass in Arkansas this summer, and l
went all over the State stumping.
Well, saw the graves Of a good many
good fellows who began with me, and
who are now in the dark valley, or the
light one, which ever it may be. I saw
the wreck of other men who started
with me to be jolly good fellows. The
graves and the wrecks set Inc thinking.
From thinking l began to calculate.
Well, on rough calculation, / found
that had already drank about barrel
and half of whisky more than I was
entitled to. Then said to myself that
if i drank any more should be drink
ing some other fellows whisky, and as
l didn't want to do that, stopped.

DIR. X. is an eminent physician of
Philadelphia, and as is often the case
with eminent physicians, is brusque and
overbearing in manner. Among his
Office patients one morning was gentle
man who, after occupying exactly five
minutes of the great mans time, took
$40 note from his pocket, and inquired
the amount of the fee. Fifty dollars"
said the impatient medical man. The
patient demurred little, wherepon the
physician rudely remarked: "Well, what
do you expect to pay? Give me what
you have got, and on receiving the go
bill, turned scornfully to his negro SER
want, and handing the money, remarked:
THAT is for you, JIM" but lost his tenn
per still more when his patient coolly
said: II did not know before that you
had partner. Good morning. Doctor"
