No. a. The Lords Pray err.

1t is almost the universal practice
in our church, and in other churches
perhaps, to quote sentence, not
found in the prayer, as given us in
the New Testament. See Matt. vi. 9,
ID, Luke ii. l, 4.
The words are, Forgive us our
trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against u.s." The words of
the prayer are, Forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors"
When l was in the habit of travel
ing, l was surprised to find that the
wrong form was almost universal.
In some cases called attention to the
circumstance; and was assured that
the error should be corrected 1t is
not difficult to see that the meaning
is not the same. Debts are sins of
omission; while trespasses are sins of
commission. One is the emitting to
do what ought to done; the other is
the doing what ought not to be done.
The latterit is not common to forgive.
We demand that the trespass be
made good by the offender. If he
cannot make it cool, he must at least
repent of his deed.
Debts, such as here alluded to, can
never be paid. We can do only our
duty to God and our neighbor, in the
future, and cannot make good the
past. To forgive it, is the only dis
position to be made of it, that is, to
blot it out of the book of remem-
brance.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

No. s. The Star in the East.

ave have seen his star in the East
and are come to worship him." Matt.
ii. 2. On the way to Bethlehem, it is
said that the star went before the
wise men; and it is a fair inference
that the same was true on their way
to Jerusalem from the East. They
did not therefore see the star in the
East, but in the West. How easy it
would have been for the revisers to
have given the correct rendering.
"We,in the East, saw his star, and are
come to worship him." To do him
homage would be better. To be sure,
those who believe that Jesus was God,
would not see the improperly in the
present rendering. The proper ques-
ton, however, is not, whether Jesus
was God, but whether the wise men
regarded him as God. We know
they did not. WEN.

BRIEF COMMENTS.
No. 3. THE Word was God. +"
my country, tits of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
OF thee l sing!"

No. 3. THE Word was God"
SIN the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the
Word was Cod" John i. l. We
distinguish the supreme God from
all inferior divinities, by using cap
ital letter for the one, and a small
letter for the other. But the Bibli-
cal writer's made use of the Greek
article for the former and omitted the
article before the other. In the pass
age before us the article is omitted.
The Greek language has only the
definite article. The true rendering
of the clause in the foregoing passage
is, the Word was god; the indefinite
and not the definite article, being
used in the translation.
1t is not correct to say that this
Word is Jesus. 1t is not Jesus till
the Word was made flesh and dwelt
among us. 1t is simply the word of
God personified.
GAIL things were made by him."
Here is an error also in the transla-
ton. The proposition by is not cor
rect. 1t should be through, or by
means of. The real Maker was God; ;
but he made use of his Word, which
is called god. If "him" in the above
sentence referred to God, the Su-
preme Being, the proper pronoun
would be hatpo and not dia. The
latter always denotes subordinate
agent. The great scholar Origen re-
fers to this usage, to prove the SUBJ
ordination of Jesus to God.

his mouth when he yawns, but not one
well-bred man in 10000 knows why.
The reason is this: Four or five hundred
years ago there was superstition COM
mon in Europe that the devil was al
ways lying in wait to enter mans body
and take possession Of him. Satan gen.
orally went in by the mouth, but when
he had waited reasonable time and the
man did not open his mouth the devil
made him yawn. and while his mouth
was open jumped down down his throat.
So many cases of this kind occurred
that the people learned to make the sign
of the cross over the mouth whenever
they yawned in order to scare away the
devil. The peasantry in Italy and
Spain still adhere to this method, but
most other people have dispensed with
the cross sign and keep out the devil by
simply placing the hand before the lips.
1t is a most remarkable survival of
practice after the Significance has per-
ished.
