curiosity about it. People read the chief
changes which were published in the news

version.
Did YOU ever hear OF a man who bought
a revised New Testament as a family
Bible? Or OF a man who quilted revised
passage on his death-bed The old version
seems disposed to hold its own against the
new.
The most important change that the
revlsers made was the substitution Of the
Hebrew word 'sheol" for the word "hell. "
One preacher has already said that this
change has already increased profanity.
The newspapers every morning say that
that something is "a sheol of thing and
| it is now reported that even the ladies, who
never used the strong and sulphurous old
Saxon word, use this Hebrew ''sheol,
without imagining for a moment they are
| profane.

POLITICAL TALK.
It is very, very early for such gossip, bu
the politicians here have already begun t,
bet that Cleveland will be re-nominated il
1888 and elected; and that Blaine will b.
the Republican nominee again.
