LAYING OF THE CORNER-STONE OF THE NEW TEMPLE, A large share of the Jewish population of Chi- cago will unite this afternoon in the interesting and impressive eeremonies connected with Isy- ing the corner-atone of a new temple dedicated to their faith. At 3 o'clock to-day the corner- stone of the new church of the Jewish Congre- gation Sinai will be Isid in accordance with the rites and belief of the Jewiek religion. The event, in the minds of the large number of People who adhere to this form of. belief a regarded witn much interest, and all of the most prominent followers of the Jemsh faith will participate in the ceremonies. : ‘THE SINAI CONGBEGATION izonsof the most flonrishing among Chicago Jewish churches, and embraces the beat-known Chicago Jenish people, It in one of the oldest Prominent churches organized in this city, al- though there ares number of minor congrega- tions of Israelites which claim a longer exist- enco. It was organized in 1861, under the charge of Dr. D. Felsenthal, one of the Zion congrogation in the West Division, Afters formation bad first been made, the membscs composing the Society mot ina building on Monroe street, near Clark. They worshiped there for two years, and, in 1863, purchased a chiirch them located at the corner of Van Bu- ron street and Third avenue, In 1863, the minister under whose charge the Society had beon formed departed for other fields of labor, and Dr. Chron- ick was called to the pastorate, He officiated up to the time of the fire. The building then oceu- pied by the congregation was destroyed in the conflagration of 1871, bat the Society maintained an existence, and shortly afterwards rented the Olivet Baptist Church, corner of Wabash aven:1e and Fourteenth street, where thoy worshiped until about a year ago under tho ministry of Dr. Kobler, the present clergyman of the church. ‘Tne congregation was composed of business men, many of whom were prominent.in Chicago mercantile and commorcial circles, nnd all pos- seevod of very liberal religious ideas. They were not disposed to adhere to the Jewish cus- tom of worshiping upon Saturday, and many of them determined to concede to the otter de- nominstions and attond to their religious duties on the usually-recognized Sabbath. Aa the church was occupied by the usual con- gregation on that day it could not bo procured by the Society for Sunday worship, and they determined to seek quarters elsewhere. Thoy aid so, and lessed, in Janu- ary, 1874, Martice's Hall, at the corner of Indi- ana avenue and ‘wenty-secoad street, where they new meet. Recently they purchased tha ground at the corver of Indiana avenue and ‘Twenty-first atreet, whero their new temple is in process of erection. : ‘Ine congregation has grown considerably in receot years, and now omraces'110 heads of families, They are actuated by very liberal tendencies, avd have departed largely from many of their old national customs. THE TEMPLE which is in frocess of constraction, an? the corer-utone of which will be Iatd to-day, 19 located at tho southeast corner of Indians ave- nue and Twenty-first atreet, diagonally opporite the First Presbyterian Church. It will havo a ground aren of 92 by 119 feet, and an altitude at the eaves of 51 feet, and at the peak of the rout of $i foot. Tho top of the ceutral dome, *bich will crown the structure, will be 130 teet avove the s:dowalk. Tho basement, which fronts on Indiana avenue, is approached by » vestiunte 13 feet in width, which extends across tls entire front. From it are two stairways leading to the auditorium above, each 714 feet in width. Thore are two entrances to this vestibule,—ono on in- diava avenne and the other on Twenty-first strect. The bacement will havea height of 14 Jeet above the ground, and ill be divided by a central hail, which peyotracos half the depth of the building, into a lecture-room 40x50 feo, three clase-rooms 24x35 feet _eact and # jibrary snd varions retiring-room Bevides these. there are p.anued. in the rear, kitchen. dining-room. etc. In addition to the two entrances already quoted, thero are two smaller ones at the west end of the building, whence thera is a stairway 6 feot in width whico leads to the audi:orium and chuit-room. Under the basement, aforesaid, there is-n eub-cellar of apacious dimensions, in which are located the Juraaces by whica the edifice is heated, and in ‘hich may be stored fnel, etc. THE AUDITOBTUSE will cover the entite s coud story. It will befin- ighed in hard woods, and be ighted by stained- g'nss siodowe fp the sides and s aandaome largo transom window st the rront. It will be four- ahaped. the seats being ampbutheatrically ar- ranged. and will adcommodsts abont 1,000 peo- ple, Over the entrance at the east ond wil be alt s light gallery for the accommodation of worebipers, and at the opposite end will bs another to ba occupied by the organ aad coir, There will be no balconies on the ees.

ERROLS IN THE ENGLISH VERSION. To the Euitor of The Chisase Tribune: Cuicaco, Jane 19.—A common error of the revisers of the Common English Version of the Now Teatemeat ia the rendering of the same NUMBER 300," | notable instance thereof occurs in the translation of the Greek word “parakletos,” 2 This word is found bat five times in the Greek New Testament, and is used only by Joba. It | is rendered in John's Gospel by ‘+ comforter,” 28 follows: And I will pray the Father, and He shall gire another Comforter, that he may abide with fs fore ever, Even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot, receive, because it seth him not, neither xnoweth. him . but ye know him, for he dweilleth with you, and "ur the Comforter, which fat the r, which is the Holy Ghost, whom ‘the Father will send in my name, Shall poy you alt things, and bring all to your ‘whatsoever J have said unto you. Bat when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even ths Spirit of Truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of . me, Nevertheless I tell you the trath. It ts ¢ for you that I go away; for if Igo not away, tho Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, £ will send bim unto you, Io the first Epiatle of Jobn, ii. 2., 1 ( tos) ip translated “advocate.” ‘Tho verso reads 3 My little children, these things write I unto you that youn not. And ifany man Wo have ‘With the Father, Jesus Christ the “eho te It (parakietos) should bo translated by the ‘same English word in each inatance. If it is correctly translsted comforter inthe Gospel, it should also be translated comforter in tho Epistle. This is undeniable. The Euglish word advocate gives the orginal, coucise, and cor- rect meaning of the Greek word “ parakletos.” It wignifies ‘one who is calied or summoned to aid another,"and moro especially “to advocate the cauge of another bafore a court of justice ;” “an advocate,” “a plasder,” * one who appeats as counsel fora defendant.” The ottice of the para%letos in John’s Gospel, as described and defined therein, agrees with’ the definitions of the word above given. John, xvi. 8 reada: and when he (viz: the parakletos] is come, be will reprove the world of sin amd of ri eRe joseae Butea and of ‘This is an emphatic and forcible statement of the office of the paraklotos. Tho word “re Prove” in this verge fails to give the fall force of the original Gresik word, which 1 ‘*elegchi.” It is somewhat dificul: to express the full meamog of the onxinal by one Engtish word. “Convince * expresses the meaning better than ‘reprove.” A tranulazion of * parakietos” by tha same Englivh word furnishes etronz preof of the doo- trine of the Trinity, for in the Gospel Jobn says that the parakletos 1s the Holy Spirit, and im the Epistle be says that it (the parakletos) is Bwus Carist, which proves that Jesus Chriat and the Hoty Spirit are one aud the same. Another remarkable instance occurs in Mat- thow xxv. 46, which reads in the Gommon Ver- sion thus? : And these shall away fato everl eS le ment; but the Tigbteoas Taio life pita = ‘Tho words “ everlas:ing "and “eternal” are translated from the eame Greek word, viz: “aionios.” ‘The same English word whould bo used in both clanzey, viz: “eternal.” Cuantes H. REED. —+— AS10,000 CHALLENGE, THE REFORMED EPISCOPALIANS CALLED OX, Cuicaco, June 18.—To the Rev. William Af. Postlethwaite: The writer of this article listened to your sermon in Christ Charch Sunday last, and algo found it spread before him in the Times ofthe nextday. The thanks of the public are dye tc youfor having boldly stepped ont into the lyceum of the public newspsrer, where your beliefs and statements may be challenged as to their trath’snd soundness,’and tested as the bar of public opinion. You spoke of the miraculous birth of John, by which it appears that’ you also are a believer in eupernatural religion, a religion not of facts and truths already eetablished, but, on the contrary, a teligion of uncstablished aod constantly shift- ing fancies and delusions, worshiping gods which are purely human criticiems, as I will en~ desvor faithfully to show you. It appears from the New Testament that an “angel” appeared to Zacharias and prophesied the birth of John ; that angels” appeared to"Mary acd prophesied the birth of Jesus ; and, later, that the same or other “angela” appeared to the shep- herds and (in tho current Isnguage of those ancient times) announced His birth, etc. Now, I claim that those stories aro not, trae stories. In our day angels, fairies, genii, and such other intangibles, are shown to be puroly and only creations of ignorant, imagi- native, or disordered brains, and to haye no ex- istence in fact, either in this or any past ago of tbe world’s history. It1 also further most plainly shown that beliefs concerning them nave varied widely, and are constantly varying according to the superstition or intelligonce of the people among whom sach visionary idena have gained s foothold. Even the Csthctics, with all tneir dogmatic statements, have not ventured to detine the qualities and character:st- ica of “angels.” ‘The truth of the miraculous birth of John and Chnst rests most decidedly upon the truth of those stories. If not true, then Christ was the Sou of God only in the senee that all mankind are the sons of God.
