Tne Revised Bible

A writer in an English paper, evidently a person possessed of considerable Biblica knowledge, has furnished tho following re view of tho new English translation o£ the New Testament :—

" The Queen's printer, who alone by ancient statute law is permitted to publish Bibles within the realm, Ims put his signa ture upon the last sheet pr:ol of the new revision of the New Testament, and within a week tho first shipment ot the bound volumes will bo made to America, Canada, Australia, and wherever the English tongue is spoken by Protestants. For many reasons that will readily occur ami need not be enumerated, the new revision is an epoch in Protestantism and a red letter day iv all Christian churches the world over. Its ad vent, looked forward to for over a decade, and the hope of thousands of Christian minds, will be a subject of absorbing in terest.

The revision is catholic in ltd uature; cathedral iD its form. It is the joint work of the new and old worlds; of all branches of the Protestant Church ; of learning and piety joined hand in hand ; priest and lay> man, prelate and scholar workiDg together. Its origin ■was in that " cradle of (Anglo- Saxon Christendom, the Convocation of Canterbury, presided over by tbe primato of England." The necessity for a revision of tho present text has become imperative— how imperative clergymen and scholars alone know—and for many years previovsly there had been careful inquiry and discus sion among the bishops, clergy, and theolo gical professors, as well as laymen, in re gard to the best means by which it ought to be brought about. The plan that has been slowly maturing under the advice of the most eminent minds iv this country and Amer ica was presented to tho convocation May C, 1870, by the committee having it in charge. Tho plan was so well digested, so broad in its catholicity, yet so conservative iv its aims, that it met with prompt approval, and the work now completing was beguu without delay. The scheme could never have had any hopes of success had. it been confined to the Bstablished Church, and it thereforo contemplated a union of learning and special fltnes* for the labour that would embrace the whole world; that would unite all English-speaking races and all denomina tions; that would produce a text to be accepted in all lands and among all peoples as an " authorised version " and a correct rendering of tho original text so far as tho original text could be agreed upon by scholars.

The English committee appointed by the convocation comprised the venerable Arch bishop French of Dublin; the bishops of Lincoln, Winchester, St. David's, Durham ; Salisbury. Bath and Wells, Llandatl, Gloucester, and Bristol, and St. Audrews ; tho deans of Westmiuster, Ely, Litchfield, Rochester, Lincoln, Canterbury, and Peter borough ; the archdeacons of Dublin. Canterbnry, Bedford, and Maidstone ; the professors of Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, and special theological branches in the universi ties of Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, London, Glaseow, and of the Wesleyan college at Dedsbury j the Baptist colleges at London and Bristol, the Congregational college at Glasgow, and the Free Kirk (Presbyterian) colleges at Glasgow, Aber deen, and Edinburgh. To these wore added eminent laymen adapted to the work.

Tho American committeo was organised in 1871, chiefly from professors in the lead ing theological seminaries of tho different denominations; the divinity schools ot Harvard, Yale, Princeton, New Brunswick, Andover, Rochester, New York, Philadel phia, Trenton, Hartford, Alexandria, and other cities furnishing their ablest scholnrs. Bishop Lee wai the only cis-Atlantic Episcopalian, but such names as Woolscy, Dwight, Schaff, Conant, Dewitt, Strong, Van Dyke, Green, Day, Acken, Osgood, Thayer, and Abbott—names familiar and revered not alone here, but in critical Holland and erudite Germany—were bailed as an earnest of tho hearty acceptance of the scheme by all American denominations, and also their intention to fully deserve half the credit of the work, if not more. In addition to these commitjees, lischen dorf, Kennen, Ewald, and nearly a hun dred other eminent Bible scholars of the Continent (including several Catholic pre lates), placed their special knowledge, their time, and their manuscript treasures at tho disposal of the committee, and, as corres ponding members, have rendered assistance of the very highest value.

110W THB REVISION WAS MADE,

The principles of tho revision were markedly conservative. "Asfew altera tions in the present text as faithfulness to the original would permit" was the first and great commandment; but it was under stood that "faithfulness to the original" required a great many changes. No change was retained without a two-thirds vote in each committee. The " original text" was selectod in the same manner from the oldest and best uncial manuscript, In America and here, following in part tho plan of the King James translators, the committee divided the Hebraists taking the Old Testament, the Hellenists the New Testament. These did not subdivide the work, however, and each member of the New Testament Committee became res ponsible for |the correctness of the entire work. ' , The method of labour was this: Both committees took up, let us say, the first synoptic. The Americans revised it. Tho English revised it The worlc was then ex changed, and each committee compared the revision with its own. Where they agreed the work was accepted. Whore they dis agreed the work was again gone over, ex plained, and exchanged, this being con tinned until agreement was had. There was very little disagreement, however, and the precaution provided for-of final disagree ment was not necessary. The procress ot !the work has been kept secret by special arrangement. Alarming reports of sweeping changes have from time to time appeared, frightening the timid and the letter-inspirationists; but nothing was given out by authority until now, when the whole work, approved unanimously by the committee, is presented to Christendom for a verdict. In considering the changes that have been made it may be proper to insist upon the fact being kept in view that no more cautious and conservative body of Christian scholars enjoying so wide a repntation and snch high respect through out the world, could possibly be gathered together; that no change has been made in the present English version except by a two-thirds vote in both bodies ; that the doubt has always been exercised in behalf of the present version, the necessity for each change having to be proven clearly and unmistakcably, and that the only danger has been from the first that the revisers would exercise undue caution and refuse to accept corrections that should be made in the interests of truth because the evidence against them lacked some technicality, pro ducing a work that the non-Christian would not, aud ought not to be aeked to occept as a correct version of the original.

WHY THB BEVISION WAS NEEDED,

Great as has been the bulk of information disseminated concerning the Scriptures, some facts of the first importance are little known. One of them is, that there never has been a standard text. The editions printed by the Queen's printer for the Bible Society have widely varied, and since King James's day there have been many unauthorized and no authorized version strictly so called. The American Bible Society is even in worse plight, and has of late yeare been adhering to a text of its own after putting several in the market, while the other societies do not even adhere to one text.

The King James translators were strictly charged to follow tbe text of the Bishop's Bible, a revision of tho Oranmcr Bible, which was a revision of the Great Bible, itself the Matthew-Tyndalo Bible, wjthout the rotea, which had its origin in an English translation from the German. The previous revisors were individuals dissatis fied with the version, and their work wa without ecclesiastical authority. The present text of the English version is over three centuries old, and during that time the language has not alone taken on many new words, but it has also dropped maDy then in use, and found new meanings for old words which have lost their original significance- Let me instance a few obsolete words : " Doves tabering on their breasts," instead of drumming ; " The lion filled his den with ravin," instead of plunder; " Neither is there any daysman, instead of umpire. " Ouches," for a sckets ; "clouts," for patches; " earing," for plough ing: "bruit," for report; "boiled, for swallow, are other examples. The changes ia signification, however, are much more important, and lead to error, contradiction, dispute. When we read that the daughter of Herodias said, "Give me, by and by, in a changer, the head of John the Baptist, it is natural to think that she was in no great hurry. But three hundred years ago "by and by" meant instantly, immediately, forthwith, and a "charger" was not a "war horae," but what our housewives call a dish aud yours a platter. " Give me instantly in a dish the head of John the Baptist" is quite different from the real form. The " artillery " so often| spoken of in the Bible is not onr artillery, but literally bows and arrows, "Go to" then meant come: "let," to hinder; "careless,' free Icom care: ."prevent," to anticipate;

" admiration," wonder ; " botch," an ulcer ; "camphire," a cypress; "pommel," a globe, &c MISTAKES OF EARLY TRANSLATIONS. The corrections necessary to bring the English text into accord with the language of to-day, many as they are, are insiguiu cant, however, when compared with the errors of early translations. Three hundred years ago the grammatical niceties of the Greek language were unknown and Hebrew studies were iv their intancy. Buxtorf pub lished his little Hebrew grammar while the translators were at work, and his larger one after they had Quished. In many cases, to weak were they in Hebrew, they were com pelled to leave Hebrew words untranslated, not knowing or being able to " guessj" their meaning. A familiar iustance is the word Belial, which is supposed to be a proper name, but it simply means unworthy, and the phrase " sons of Belial " should properly read " unworthy men ;" " Jusher " is not a proper name, but an adjective, meaning upright, and the "Book of Jashcr" was the " Book of the Upright." Tho "Gammadima" (Ezek. xxvii.. 11) warriors; " Pannug " (v. 17) means v cundy ; "Sheth" means a tumult; "Bajith" an idol temple. Their wild "guesses" often show absurd blunders. The " mules " men tioned in Genesis as having been found were warm springs; "pledges" they turned into thick clay; "ilect" into both piercing and crooked; "curls" into gal leries ; " leaders" intoavengine; "o3triches" iuto owls ; " goats " into satyrs ; "droves" into lineu yarn; ''set up" they render as cast down; and Joseph's "tunic with long sleeves" they transmogrify into " a coat of many colours." lustauces might be multiplied until patience was exhausted of their iuaccuracy. In the New Testament they were better qualified for the work, nnd their* eitors were not so gross, though equally numerous. The grammatical forms upou which so much depends, especially with catholic epistles, where there is close logic, and the place of a word iv a sentence may qualify its meaning, are never consi dered, and they stumble through their work in a " rough and tumblo " way, more like a schoolboy than a scholar. Still more importaut than cither tho chauges of the language or tho blunders of translators have been the corrections that have been made iv tho original text, by the comparison of manuscripts generally, and by the discovery of two very ancient manu scripts of tho Bible iv particular. A single illustration of this will sutlicc : Mark says that on the cross the Christ was given '■wine" mingled with myrrh; Matthew says "vinegar." Tho "harmony" that gives Him two drinks is bosh for children ; scholars know there is a contradiction. The natural inference is that the writers did not disagree, and that the error arose in copying. By comparing manuscripts tho inference is found to be correct, the older codices agreeing upon wine. The two words in tho Greek are very much alike, of the tame length, and differing only in the middle letter. The most violent of atheis tical shoemakers, when shown the manu script?, would not hesitate in his acknow ledgment that there was no contradiction, arjd that the causa of the error was to bo found in the carelessness of some copyist of tho Greek text of Matthew.

THE CIRCUS.

W. W. Cole's great combination of circus menagerie and congress of living wonders is expected to arrive to-morrow, sometime during the day, per the P.M. a.s. City of Sydney. From all that can be learned this mammoth enterprise promises to be the largest and best exhibition that ever attempted a tour of the world, and we predict no little interest in the disembark ment at Auckland. It will bn something of v novel sight to s-oe the huge elephants open their trunks and pass them to the custom officials for inspection ; it will also be interesting to ses the trick mule kicking both ways at once; and the graceful antics of the drove ot camels will present ;u> amusing sight as they waltze over the gang-way; but this ii not all, there will be. many cages of wjld animals from every known clime, curious and massive vans, cars aud vehicles, beautiful thoroughbred stallions, and marvels without number. Mr Cole has long enjoyed the reputation of having the best show in America, and he now proposes to sustiin that reputation iv thuae Colonies.

TRICKETT AND HANLAN

The great race between Trickett and Han lan for the championship of the world comes off on Monday, The following letter describing Hanlan's exploits appeared in the London "lieferee " :—" Sir, —Now that Trickett has arrived in your midst to awakea you from the apathy which aquatic affairs seem to have fallen into in old ling laud, a few words regarding our little man (Hanl.ni) may be ef interest to your readers. First, I would like to say a few words regar ding Hanlan's defeat at Providence. I have read all your remarks regarding it, and I am sure you wrote it all in good faith, believing your authority to bo reliable. Yet, when I give you what I know to be tha real cause of hii breakdown you will, I am sure, be willing to do our plucky representative justice. Hanlan, in the latter end of August, 1879, put himself into strict training to meet C. E. Courtney, and row him five miles on Chautauqua Lake. Yon know the result of that; but Hanlan, lest Courtney should propose to row him somewhere south, kept himself in training (that winter being ex ceptionally mild) until pretty well on in January, when he rested to about the Ist March, and then went into strict training again. When he left here for Washington he was within 21b of his rowing weight, but, owing to the change from oar bracing northern climate to the excessively warm weather which seemed to have struck Washington about that time, he lost in flesh considerably, and rowed both races (with Courtney and Kiley) 31b below his rowing weight. I might here mention that while walking round Washington one even ing he slipped off the ed<*e of the kirbstone and gave bis side a severe wrench. He got a plaster put on it, which he wore until a short time previous to the race at Provid ence. Ido not blame this for what occurred in the race at Providence. When I arrived at the course that morning and saw Hanlan, I said to his most intimate friend, " I never saw Edward look worse in my life." He B?id, "Neither did I; bnt I think he can win." He had that shrivelled, drid-up appearance, tho result of overtraining. To that fclone, and nothing else, do I attribute his defeat. I have seen him every day for the past month at his hotel on the island—a splendid building— and I can tell you he is pi'iug on the flesh perceptibly every day. He looks the pic ture of health, and talk 3 confidently (but he never brags) of his match with 1 rickett; aud, 1 can assure you, not only the confi dence ot Canada aud America, but their money also, will be with him on the day of the great race.—Yours, &c., W. T. Finlay, Torouto." "Pendragon," of thj London " Referee," has greatiy exposed his ignor ance of aqnatio matters, but has already been compelled to hide his diminished head. From the first he predicted an easy defeat for Laycock, and has described the talK of Trickett's chances against Hanlan as a grim joke. It is not at all unlikely that he will have to seek some lame excuse for this prediction, as he already has had to do in the case of Laycock.

Correspondence.

CIRCUS AND ALBERT PARK.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l must ask you to again allow me a short space iv yonr valuable columns to insert a reply to "F.P.," who says he does not understand the logic of " Ratepayer. 1 am not surprised at this, judging from the illogical contents of his letter. That the circus will be the cause of a nuisance, he admits, but whether great or small is a matter of opinion and previous experience. It is the lait straw that breaks tho camel a back. "F.P." implies that because no objections were raised to firiDg blank cart ridges, etc., etc., that no objection should have been made against anything else how ever illegal it may be. I quite agree with his expression of "Let us be young," but if " KP." had experienced Cooper aud Baileys' show it would make him look con siderably older, and, from the continual noise which prevents sleep, he would pro bably feel older after a week of it. It is certainly a matter of great regret that Mr Cooke, who is a perfect stranger amongst us, should have been put to auy trouble or annoyance in the matter, as there is no dou+>t that he will meet with every success wherever the circus may be placed. I cannot conclude without noticing one or two remarks in Mr Cooke's letter to your paper. He certainly deserves the thanks of the public for giving them so much informa tion as to where the " roots of the circus are embedded, &c, &C." But, sir, Mr Cooke makes a statement that it is the will of all whom he has met save " one, ' that Mr Cole should occupy the Albert Paik. I cau only say that there are a large quantity of people who he has not yet met, or he would have found that he could have made no such statement. But this reminds me that Mr Cooke wants to meet me at your office to lay

down a snm of money to back my assertion. This I decidedly decline to do, although I > still have my doubts about the ful filment of every promise made, and here I should like Mr Cooke to clearly understand what is meant. That the show, as advertised, will be more than faithfully carried out under the canvas I have no doubt; but, sir, Mr Cole or his assistants can have no control over the thousands outside, and therefore i cannot prevent tho varioua nuisances on which the objections are raised,—l am, &c, Batepaybb.

Threatening to Snoot a Tailor.

[IJY TELECJRArn, OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

TIMAHU, this day. Joseph Hawley; a well-known resident, was charged, on remand, with present ing firearms at a tailor, named Edwin Best, with intent to murder him on the night of Wednesday last. The evidence shewed that Hawley, being the worse for drink went to Best's shop and demauded some oysters. An altercation ensued, and Hawley becoming very abusive was put out. Immediately afterwards a bystander grasped Hawlcy'a arm, and Best run forward and wrenched the loaded revolver from Hawley's grasp. As it appeared that tho revolver was pulled out of Hawley's pocket by the others, and not by himself, tho Bench dismissed the information after a caution to accused against carrying iiro-arms.

CHAPTER VII. LOST.

Tiik millor and his family were nt Bupper when these unexpected guests with their lanterns, sticks, and firearms, knocked at his door. Startled and bewildered, tho good man rose and let them in. Bis wife snatched her baby from the cradle. Their three boys sat wondering aud open-mouthed ; the smoking polenta, the flask ot country wine, the black bread, and the three-wick lamp on the table before them.

The miller was so taken by surprise that he could hnrdly bo made to understand at fiist what liis visitors wanted. Would they be pleased to come in ? Who ? What ? Tht, Signori Bernardo from La Spezzia? Tho Siguor Saudro? Ah, yes—of course he rc niciubcred tho Siguor Sandro ? Would they tako the trouble to be seated ? How ? A traveller — what traveller ? A mi-lonlo Inglcse? Hero? Here at the mill? Heavens ! no. How should he be here ? Mis«iug ? Lost? Since when? To-day— this evening ? Holy St. Francis 1 Howwas it possible ? How could any oue bo lost on tho high road between the old bridge and La Spczzia ? Had he hoard nothiuc; —no shout as of some one in distress? No, nothing ; absolutely nothing. He had been all day in the mill, he and his boys, and had only left oil" work when it grew dark. They had not been out with tho cart, or along tho road, all day. What, «oiuj» already ? Ecco !ho might a? well go with them 1 And the miller took his hat from a peg behind the door, whistled to his dog, bade the boys take care of their mother, and went to join in the search. Up the steep and slippory path, out again on the hiiih road, on in the direction of the old bridge they went, shouting, listening, sweeping the road with their liiiiterns as before.

At the point where the caleche had stopped, Sandro Quarauta-Sette called a halt.

" It was hero that he got out-at this very spot. I know it by the young ash yonder," said lie. " What if he turned back to Matterano V suggested the barber. " Turned back ? What nonsense ! Why we left him walking—walking fast towards La Spezzia I" " Ani you lost sight of him—where ? asked the apothecary. " About two huudred yards back," They retraced their stops as far as the second turn of the road. It was here they last saw him. On this point Sandro, Mr Prouting, and the postboys were unani mous.

They stopped to hold a hurried council. Tbey had cow tracked over every foot of the ground by which Lord Brackenbury would have come, and they had found no trace of him. Had he been anywhere within sight or hearing, they muit have found him. What was to be done ? Was it worth while to go farther ? To Matterano? To Borghetto? It was just possible that some accident had hap pened to him, and that he had been taken up by a vehicle going in that direction. It was also possible that he had missed his footing on the torrent side of the road, in which case he might at this momeut be lying bruised, insensible, dying, among the bushes and boulders far below. There were places where such an accident might happen; but to those familiar with the road, it seemed scarcely probable. Still they were bound to leave no stone unturned. To go back to La Spezzia without seeking him in every direction, likely or unlikely, was out of the question. So said Sandio Quaranta-Sette and the two Bernardos. They decided to divide their forces—one party, including Saudro, Mr Prouting, and Marco Bernardo, making fcrßorghetto, tho other,under the leadership of Bruno Bernardo, undertaking the more difficult duty of searching the torrent-bank. Most of those who had joined under an impulse of curiosity gave up now, and went home; the apothecary, the barber, and the miller being of that number. . Their ranks thus thinned, the exploring parties separated and went their different ways. It was now past nine o'clock. The night, variablo as the day by which it was preceded, had cleared up sud denly. The mists had parted and dis persed. A pageant of massy cumuli swept solemnly and swiftly overhead ; and the depths of space between were powdered with keen stars. Still paußing at times to unite in a pro longed " Hola I" the elder Bernardo's party now tramped rapidly on, meeting only one old peasant, trudging under a burden of fire wood. Him they questioned ; but he had , sfccn no one on the road. Arrived at Borghelto, they went straight to the hotel at which Lord Brackenbury had deciined to put up a few hours before- Here, however, nothing had been seen or heard of him. They debated whether it was worth while to go on as far as Matterano. Now Matterano was a mere mountain hamlet, only four hundred and fifty feet below the summit of the pass, and twelve 1 kilometres further up the mountain. If any accident had happened, and Lord Bracken bury had been taken up by a passing vehicle, that vehicle would certainly hare dropped him here at Borghetto, where tbere was a good inn, instead of carrying him on to Matteranowherethere was none. Besides, no vehicle had passed either to or fro since the yellow calcche drove through at four o'clock ; except indeed one or two country carts belonging to farmorß in the neigh bourhood. So said the landlord of the Europa. Nothing on wheels could pass that wav and not be Been from the hotel. Also, there was a water-trough at the oppo site side of tho road, whare the peasants always.drew up to let their beasts drink, and where the stable-boys filled their buckets to water the horses for travellers driving through. It was impossible that any cart or carriage should stay for water, or drive through, unobserved. They decided that it was useless to go on to Matterano. " Blessed Mother of God !" said bandro Quaranta-Sette, " What shall we do ? Where can we go ?" He had been the life of the party till now ; but now, for the first time, he seemed utterly hopeless. " You can do nothing but go back to I a Spezzia," said the landlord of Europa. "Howcan we go back without having found mi-lordo?" The landlord shrugged his shoulders. ■' If you had but stayed with us, said he, " all would have been well." Sandro drew his sleevo across his eyes. " Che che ! don't do that, Signor Sandro!" cried the landlady. "It is not like you to despair. Maybe, when you get back to La Spezzia, you will find your traveller waiting for you. "Ay, he might have passed through La Spezzia, and have gone on by mistake to Lerici 1" said Blarco Bernardo. They caught at this hope, just as. they had caught at the hope of finding Lord Brackenbury at the mill; and having par taken hastily of food and drink, set out to return by the way they came. It was nov getting late, and though the night was fine and the road one long descent, the distance seemed half as far agam from
