The Revised Bible.

The committee of theologians and
scholars OF the Church of England APP
pointed by the ConVocation OF Canterbury
in February, 1870, for the purpose of re-
vising the English Bible has completed
its work after fifteen years of earnest and
almost unremitting labor. The committee
was composed of the most eminent divines
and scholars Of that church, and had. by
invitation, the cooperation of many other
learned men, both Of England and America.
About two years ago the New Testament
was issued and met with most favora-
BILE reception among Protestants Of all de-
nominations. Many churches outside of
the communion of the Church of England
adopted it in place of tle King James
translation, which has so well served the
English speaking portion Of the Christian
world for nearly three centuries. Yes
terday morning the Old Testament was
given to the newspapers in London, and
tomorrow the complete revised edition Of
the Bible will be for sale in the bookstores
of that city.
The translation of the Bible by the CON-
mission Of fifty.four divines appointed by
King James /. of England, on motion Of
DR.. Reynolds, Of oxford, which completed
its labors in 1911, was the most extraordi-
nary literary work OF that period. Il has
been in use for 81 years, and It's faithful.
ness, pure and etrong English, its
simple and dlgnifed style, though
partaking of the quaintness of
the language of that age, have
through all these years secured its ac-
ceptanoe by persons OF almost all shades
OF religious belief, and given It a combina-
Ton of advantages over any rival 1t has
become endesred 10 the hearts Of millions
Of people, who will be extremely reluctant
to have it supplanted by the more scAol-
arly and modern, and perhaps more exact
revision.
1t has been felt for generations. how
ever, that the King James Bible could be
greatly improved in both clearness and
accuracy, and there can be no do~bt that
the work of the Canterbury committee
clears up innumerable obscure, perhaps
erroneous passages, and presents many
favorable contrasts in arrangement and
style with the original translation.
1t will Of course be ut once adopted by
the Church Of England. aud if on close in
spection il proves TO be as free from de-
nominauoual bias, and TO be as merltor-
ious "A work from a theological and scho.-
astical point Of view, as there Is reason 10
believe it will, IL Will very soon become
popular with many other denominations.
The issuing Of this revision Of the Bible
Will doubtless mark the beginning OF "a
new era in the history OF Christianity the
more especially as the English language
seems 10 be that which is destined 90
become the universal language OF the
future. 10 is not to De expected
that Il will be free from criticism. bui 10
will be pretty sure 20 elicit only tlt
friendly criticism which Will cause % 90

No Relations Need AnpIv,

The President doesn't intend to appoint
his relations to Office. He has already in
Dictated his purpose on that point. A
rather strong effort was made to get him
TO appoint his nephew TO an important Of
ice in a Western city. The effort failed.
1t is not probable that the Republican
press Will have an opportunity to charge
him with nepOtism. lie may have an I'M
due fondness for the Mugwumps, but his
relations, so far as the distribution OF
patronage is concerned, will get the cold
shoulder.
In this respect he will present 6 marked
contrast to some Of the Republican Presi-
dents. II is just as well, probably that
bee should, at the very beginning of his adj
ministration, take a firm stand in regard
TO the question OF providing Offices for his
relations. The people cid not elect him
with the expectation that he would saddle
his uncles, and his cousins anu his aunts
on the Treasury. The patronage doesn't
belong TO him but to the people. lie has
the distribution Of IL, aud 1t is expected
that he will distribute it so as To confer
the greatest possible benefits ON the coun-
try. II Congressman would follow the
Presiients example they would be en-
titled TO additional thanks from their con-
stituents.
