ReYision of the Hlble.

Those somewhat narrow-minded
but undoubtedly woll-meaning folk
who have regarded the King James
version OF the holy scriptures as
infallible in toxt will have TO prepare
themselves 10 be even more rudely
shocked in the course OF a Few
months, when the old testament por'
ton of the revised bible will be publ
shed, than they were by the changes
in the new testament. II has been
said of these last, and wo believe with
perfect truth, that while in every case
necessary TO more correct reading
or understanding OF the text, in no
solitary instance did they alter any.
thing 80 as to change mems ideas OF
the faith. Whether the same will be
found true Of the old testament by
those who may be interested in a
study OF the alterations, verbal and
constitutional, decided upon by the
reyisers, remains TO be seen.
At least this much is true, and may
be stated plainly before the appear
ance of the work: One theory-per-
haps we ought not to say OF religion,
but certainly of millions of religion
ists-is that after death we shall arise
again in the veritable shape and in
the same feshly habiliment that
enveloped--if we may employ the
word-our spiritual and real selves
during our life on earth. 1t is not
too much to say that this belief il
largely due to the present reading OF
that verse in Job-most ably dealt
with by Froude in the "Short Studies
where the prosecuted man says
"Yet in my flesh shall I see God.
The revisers will make this read :
"Out of my flesh" etc, the idea con-
veyed being exactly the opposite Of
that which has stared every reader OF
the verse in the face for the more
than two centuries of the books
existence.
We cannot, of course, undertake tc
say what will be the effect of these
and other changes. Many of them,
no doubt, will be wholly unexpected
by n very large majority of the clergy
Bnt, on the other hand, it is only fail
to the ministerial bodies of the country
to say that, while their individual
members have not themselves beer
battling with Greek roots or thu
mysteries of the Hebrew grammar
that they might become revisers or

pace with the age, and that the more
striking and important of the altera
tons, which now bear the imprima
tur of authority, have long been
known to them as necessary in the

From A Noted Christian Woman.

The Texas Christian, published at
Add-Ran, Texas, in late Issue prints
the following letter, addressed to Mr..
Wilmeth, the editor. 1t breathes n
truly Christian spirit, and will be
read with interest by many. The
letter is dated "Bethony Mansion, Va,
July II, 1884"
I am pleased to know that you
still continue to publish q religious
paper. And may I hope that you
are also engaged in the proclamation
of the precious gospel. While it is
of vast Importance to be permitted
TO visit multitudes by the pen, impart-
ing religious knowledge to needy,
.perishing sinners and especially
strengthening the faith and comfort
ing the hearts Of believers, yet may 1t
not be thought to be q superior power
to exercise the tongue and voice in
addressing man: upon the grandest,
soul absorbing theme of his rescue
from the thraldom Of sin, and his
eternal salvationi Oh, that more
zeal and activity could be exhibited
by oil who are thus privileged to
preach and teach the word OF life
Only think Of the tolls and labors OF
our Lord and Master, how he
travelled with weary steps, and how
earnestly and Increasingly he entered
the synagogues and taught the multi
t,des until he was taken and hung
upon the cross giving full proof OF
his life and labors for lostand dying
world! And oh, still to think OF the
infinite, unbounded love of the Father
in raising him from the dead, and
thus assuring us of our resurrection
from the power of death and the
grave, who have their lives now "hid
with Christ in God" Glorioushope !!
Unuttorable Joy! May the favor OF
God the Father, the grace OF our
Lord and Savior, with the comfort OF
the Holy Spirit abide with us oil, is
Che prayer of yours in the faith and
hope of the gospel.

A Beautiful Legend.

There is a charming tradition con-
nected with the site on which the
temple of Solomon was erected. Ii
is said to have been owned in conf
mon by two brothers, one of whom
had family; the other had none.
On the spot was sown a field of
wheat. On the evening succeeding
the harvest, the wheat having been
sown in separate stocks, the elder
brother said unto his wife: "My cl-
der brother is unable to bear the heat
ofthe day; Twill arise, take my shocks
and place them with his without
his knowledge. The younger brother,
being actuated by the same bepevo-
lent motives, said within himself
"My elder brother has a family and
l have none; | will contribute tC
their support; will arise, take Of
my shocks and place them with his
without his knowledge" Judge Of
their establishment when on the fol
lowing morning, they found theil
stocks undiminished. This course O.
events transpired for several nights
when each resolved in his mind t.
stand guard and solve the mystery
They did so, when OH the followint
night they met each other half way
between their respective shocks will
their arms full. Upon ground hal
low with such associations as thes,
was the temple of Solomon crcctet
so spacious and magniiicent-th'
admiration and wonder of the world
Alas! In these days how many woul,
sooner steal their brothers who'll
stock than add to it a single sheaf

SIOUX INDIANS.

The Sioux are very superstitious, are
controlled by their legends in whateve:
they do, and never embark i'll nm under.
taking without first having the assurance
that they are in the right. In their
way they are very religious people,
cherishing the greatest respect for the
rights, both of property and person, Of
every member OF the tribe. The chas-
tity Of their women is also noteworthy,
and even their mode of warfare is in
accordance with tile teachings Of the
Great Spirit. True, they are often &C
cusod of great atrocities, but, if history
was searched, it would be found that
members OF the tribe had suffered SINH
lar torture and death Mt the hands OF tho
whites, the circumstances of which had
been remembered and retalliated at the
first opportunity. The Indian has the
utmost reverence for the "Grent Spirit,

thing corresponding to white mans
oath. Their ideas OF the hereafter are
vague, but impressive nevertheless.
They believe that every act and cpl
sode of life below will be repeated i'll

the minutest details, hence the burial

Probably one OF the noblest actions
in Indian history was the rescue, in
1852, Of eight persons-two women and
six ohildren--from the Santee camp, OF
the mouth Of Grand river, by -Four
Bears The captives were adopted into
the tribe, and one, Julia Wright, forced
to marry SON OF Black Hawk, then q
prominent chief. -Four Bears procured
their liberation partly through purchase

perils, returned them to their homes
For this noble act -Four Bears was prom

ing his recent trip to Washington h,

that the reward would soon be forth

COURTESY.

Courtesy is powerful aid TO HIM who
gives and him who receives. Treat
even a base man with respect, and he
will make at least one desperate effort to
be respectable. Courtesy is an appeal
to the nobler and better nature of others
to which that nature responds. 1t is
due to ourselves. 1t is the browning
grace of culture, the stamp of perfec-
ton upon character, the badge of the
perfect gentleman, the fragrance Of the
flower OF womanhood when full blown.
