New YORK, May 20.-Copies of the new
translation of the Old Testament were
mailed tonight, and tomorrow shipments
to all parts of the country will begin.
Funk & Wagnalls have published in cRp-
junction with the revised Old Testament a
"Companion" to it from the pen of DR.. T.
W. Chambers, one of the American re-
visers, who is familiar with the work from
the beginning. The progress of the Ian
guage rendered many changes necessary of
words and phrases now obsolete, and hence
unintelligible. Below are some specimens,
all from the Old Testament.
