The Berkshire County Bible Sociaty of
Massachusetts, one of the oldest and
most important of the auxiliaries of the
American Bible Society, at a recent meet
ing recommended that the American Bi
ble Society should print and distribute
the revised version of the Scriptures as
soon as practicable. The reasons assign
ed are these:
•' That the common English version of
the Scriptures, though in many respects
excellent, is in other respects unworthy
of its original, being in many places unin
telligible, and in many more giving a
wrong sense, lacking a uniform render
ing of the same words in different pass
ages. and a uniform spelling of proper
names, treating the poetry and prose ex
actly alike in the translation, and divid
ing the whole into verses without any
reference to the form of writing or the
requirements of the sense, thus largely
robbing the Word of the beauty which
the Lord our God has put upon it; that
this version itself is nothing but a revis
ion of previous versions and revisions
running back to the time of John Wyc
liflfe, just five hundred years ago; that
there has been no revision or improve
ment of the common version for two hun
dred and sixty-nine years since it first ap
peared—that is before the Pilgrim Fath
ers landed at Plymouth, who themselves
used a different version altogether; that
in this long interval of time older and
better Greek manuscripts of the books of
the New Testament have been discoverud
than those out of which our version was
translated, that the knowledge of the
Greek and Hebrew language has been
immeasurably augmented in the mean
time, and that the meaning of many Eng
lish words and phrases has greatly chang
ed in the two centuries and a half. Also
that some of the best Christian scholars
in Great Britain and America, about one
hundred in all, mostly clergymen, repre
senting all Christian denominations, have
now been engaged nearly ten years, in en
tire harmony with each other, in careful
ly revising the English Scriptures on con
servative principles, changing nothing
except what needs to be changed in the
interests of sense or form."
The London correspondent of the
World writes: "The two oldest sons of
the Prince of Wales have actually been
tattooed on the nose with a broad arrow.
They were serving on board the Bacch
ante as midshipmen, and the 'mess' on
board the Bacchante probably had little
dilliculty in inducing Prince Albert Victor
and his brother George to allow them
selves to be decorated with an arrow or
an anchor (for accounts vary as to the
real sign) upon their royal noses. The
captaiu of the ship and the officers will
find themselves in hot water, but neither
hot water nor anything else will wash out
the gunpowder and Indian ink marks
which disfigure the faces of the future
King of England and his brother. The
most eminent surgeons and doctors have
been consulted as to the possibility of ob
literating the tattoo-marks, but it is re
ported that no hope has been held out in
any of.those quarters."
Mr. Oliver Halryrnple, the great Minne
sota farmer, intends to cultivate thirty
thousand acres of wheat this year. He
Will have twenty steam threshers in op
eration, and one hundred and thirty-five
reaping machines. Last vear he employ
ed six hundred laborers, and this year
will increase the number to seven hun
dred.
