PILIP SCHAATP, D. D. ot the Unton Theological Beminary, and one of {he Commission which Is eugaged In transtating the Bible, preached in the Firat Presbyterian Chureh, corner of Indfana avenuc and Twenty- first strcet, yeatorday morning. Hls text was: Tho word l¢ & light nnto md feet, andalight puto my path,— Praimae, elz., 105. The Dible, ho sald, was not s book, bnt an jostitution, everywhere present in the Church of God, 0 omnipresent powaer fn the Klogdom of Heaven in which we were. The word of God was the reflection of a personal word that was with God In the beginning, that camedown from Him, and was made flesh for our salvation. The written and spoken word Dad & two-fold naturc,—human and divine,—and we could only understand the Blble properly by keeping this jn view, Asa human productlon ftwas written, trunsiated, printed, bound and sold, ziven away, and explalned iiko other hu- msn books. Next to Ilis own 8on, God had be- ntowed no greater gift on tho Church, The orlginal work was fn Hebrew and Ureck, God had ot seen fit to supply the Church witl falltule tranalntions, no mora thau printel must study. and reliect, and revolve, and read over aud over agaln, so that the word might be- came our possession, onr inmast proverty, our ‘gelf-nequired fnhentance, The judgment was continually employed from ape tosge in the study, circulation, explauation, and application af the Word, and the task would nover be ex- bnusted. The book wras an_inexhoustible foun- taln from whicn were continually flowing tho waters of Hfe. As long as the trus religlon was conflned to tho Hebrew race, that language was suificlent 23 a medium, aud 2s long 28 the Apostles made thcinsclyes understood In Greek, that was suf- hefent; but ws they scottered it beeame neces- rary to translate tho Hebrew Beripturesdnto (Ireok, which was done 800 years befora Christ. When the Christian religlon spread smong the Romans, & trauslatfon futo the Latin became cssential; and when Christianity spread among the Northern and Weatern barbarians, the task of the Church (n civiliziog them required trans- Iatlons into their languages. The Ipuupln In the dark ages deponded for much of their knowl- cdgo of the Biblo on preaching, an mslo;. which ‘were written out, were possessed by but few on account of thelr expensivencas. The transiation of the Biblo {nto n language was generally the beglunlog of the literaturc of the nation which spoke the language. ,Tho first English trausla- tion was made In tho eighth century by the ven- erable Bede. i Hethen referred to subsequent English trans- Iations and to the Reformation, which resulted in numerous onrs. ‘Those of the sixteenth cen- tury were oreatly superior to the previoustrans- latfons, since tha renderings were not mechan- feal, nt[fl, starched, and heavy, but fresh repro- ductions of tho spirit of tho oririnal. The En- alish version, upon the whole, was the best over muode,—the most acenrate, mod an unspeakable blessing to the Anglo-8azon race. After advert- ing to the differeut versions ed_subscquent to Tyndale’s, he camo to that of Kiug Jutnes— 1611 —which he sald Liod susworod adinfrably the purposs ever siuce. But the question sroso whether Chrlstians wera to be zatisfied with a vorsion comiug trom a sfuglsdenomination,—the Church of England} &houtd not all denominatlons have samething to say in the veralon to be used in tho churches and famtlics, Could the old Bible bs mada clearer and stronger without {ntroducing con- fuslon und atrife! ‘The language Lad tent- ly changed within the last 250 years to justify and neceasitate slight changes in the preacnt transiation with s yiew to make the Bible gon- crally intelllgible, The {dlom and vernacular were the best wo could have, and would be zood 1o tho vnd of timo, ‘Any change In thom would grate upon the esrs and disturb sacred assoclations, Some attempta had been made to change o the {dlom of tho nincteenth century, but substitutlog *‘a certaln opulent gentle- man " for **a certaln rich inan ' would not do. ‘What was necded was slimply n_rovision of the old version, Quite a number of the words were obsolete; othars had so changed thelr meunings that they now conveyed tho very oppasita deas from what thoy dfd in the Bitle. There wera certaln errors of tho trauslators resulting from imperfect knowledge of the original lunguages; and there wers also printers’ errors, aud agreat many Inconsistencles,—onu and the samo word belng trapslated in different wa 8, thus glving the reader the Impresafon that different Ideas were to be con- veyed, Distinctions botween the Greak and Hebrew wero obliterated. As an {netance ho mentfoncd [1ndes aud 8heol, The former meant the unscen world—theworldof thodeparted—the splrit world; und Ocheana the place of tor- ment; yob fnour version those two words wero translated alike. Bueol moant hall, grave, death, and should Yo _kept distinct from Hades, The words devil and dumon wero.also cou- founded. There were also a great sunny info- lieities and susceurncles 1o rendering the Groek particies and tenses, Intelligent peopla belfoved that. the italicised words denoted einphaals, wheréda they were interpolations of the transis: tora for the puroose of making the mesutng clearer. In most cases thioy were of no earthly use whateyer, and in many weakened the original forve of the language. Anotlier dofuct was the obliterstion of all distinction betweon poatry and proso,. There was room for & great many real linprovements in our version which would make it tmore fotelllgible, clear, and farcl- ble, and Lring the Word of God pesror to the heart aud mind, The only question then was how to bring this shout. 1o adverted to the movemont which resulted In the appointinent of the Commisston of Tranalators fu 1870, 'The co-operation of biblicat acholars of uther desiominutions was ine ¥ited—of Amcrlcun s well as Euglish. There Were two companles u each country, one belug engared on the Old Testament aud the other ouths New, and thelr ruvistons wero futer- changed for coinment aud ameudment, Dif- ferunces which coutd not be romoved would be noted {u an appendix. ‘Uhe book, which witl ba com{.lnled in- threo or four years it was hoped, would be fusucd by the Oxford Presa; and itwes for the difTercnt churches to decida whether she atnended revialon shall take the place of the bregont Biblo and bs uaed fn public worship aud privats funilies. Wil the old ravision wus a gond une, 1t would be found that the new wa M better revision. Tt would bring all 0 thospirit of Uod, aud give all sn understanding of the Bible,~the best of knowledze, because it showed us the path of Lapotness fu thls world snd of everlosting ifo fn the next. —— GOD'S DEMANDS, SBONON DY TUE BEV. W, X. VANDEVER, The Rev, W. N. Vandever yestorday morn- Ing preached fu the Unfon Park Congregationol Church, coruer of Ashland aveuus and West Washingtin street, Tho audlcnce was rather lght, owing to the extromaly stormy weather. ‘The revereud gontleman took his text from the cluveuth ehapter of Joun,- tweuty-olghth verse, Tho speaker weut on 10 say thut i Jusus Chrlst appearcd upqn thy curth to-day, baulshiug sick- uees aud ralsing the dead, and spesking tiis wonderful words of wisdom, he would be s knowledged the King'and leader of men. * Thio Mastet I como, aud calletn tg theo Man was the créature of tho Creator, aud be expected perfection from the Creator.

These wera all intended ns chastening Icssons, to Lring men toan understaniling of the glofles of Henven aud Chrlat.

TIE BBOOKLYBN EVANGEL- 18T, A PAMILIAR TALK BY DR, CUTLER. Not since Beecher wos heres a year ago Jast winter and preachied to tho vast crowds which poured into the Chicago Avenue Church has that templs of the Lord contained such sn audl- enca a8 assembled last evening to hear the Rov, ‘Theodore L. Cuyler, tho famous Brooklyn di- vine. Possibly some came to hear a learned and aven doctrinal discourae, but i€ there were any such they vame to ba disapoofnted, for what they did see and hear was quits like unto Moody and his famlliar talks, with something of the rough cdges worn off. On stepplog for- ward to tho desk, after the Introduc- tory services, Dr, Cuyler, in his clear, sonorous volce, said he was nnlnf to fornia for a rest and arospite, when Mr. Moody She cailed him Brother) asked him to stop in'Chi- cago and talk to his beloved flock. He had no {utontion of preaching auy elaborate discourse, but, on the contrary, would slmply give his henrers a famillar talk on tha words of Script. ute contained in Mark, iv., % There were also with him other littlo ships," Freanenn{ tho 8avior wos represcnted as the Captaln of our_salvation, but in tho passage quoted he might be sald to be tho Commodore of & spiritual squadron. n s ship, and His alone, men might find the bark by which they could reach the desired thayen. That Bca of QGallilee was, at best, only & little lake, and yet §t could be tempestuous whea the Wind burst forth and churned it into blllows. The ships referred to were row-bouts, us wo would call them, Jesus' followers had come and sald, *Let us goover to the other side.” Thero was an einblem fo this. People must choose one of two sldes In reference to the ereat question, **For or against Christ.” In the last day there'would bo no middle ground, The great” gulf was the only tiddle ground there, These disciples were to move themaclvos In order to reach the other side, & the firat step for the unsaved -was to 6 sldes. With that change’ of sides came change of; plan, disposition, purpose, and, In short, chango of heart. But Christ dld not send them over. His words were, * Go with me.”” He never drove people, but He rather led them. NO oue was ssked to follow the teachings of any particular school of philoso- phers, but merely to ¢ go with Christ.” And these bosts were little ships. not grcat seventy- fours, not huge Argosics. They were typleal of the meek and lowly among men, for whom Christ carcd as much, salllng through the voyage ot life, us for tha proudest craft that cver floatod, Notbing was small that bud God's lplm in it and His glory at thojend of it. But Christ and the dlsciples were overtakon by a storm, Tholatter wercalarmed,as pooplowithout pumber.had heen since thole day when danger or troubla overtook thiem. Tney went to Chirlat, whose hedd lay on the bard beam at tho stern of the boat. It was travstated * plilow * now, but ho hoped the new verslon would ket It right. The Christian must look out for head winds. One day there would- bs fair weather, but the storm would break over mon's hesads when least expected. e had lived long enough to appreciate head-winds, and} thank ;God for them, 1f a'man had simply to throw out a line and be towed tnto Heaven, ho would be but poorly prepared to enjoy the rcalmns of biiss when he pot there. Fear often suggosted a surrunder to tho enemy, but cvery Obristlan hnd but to follow ~the famous com- mand, “Lay alongsido the wnemy," to win, Head-winds and shurp trials must be ox- peeted, snd_ endured for tho Mastor's sake. ‘Thoy brought out charscter, as the ocean gale, striking the harp cnluiv caused them to ylel rich, glorlous music. ell, iead-winds being expected, tho bow must be kept to the wind, Cheist was to be looked to for guidauce, His Promhol were defloite and certain, with uo *perbapa® or “peradventures’ about them. Chirlst’s perseverance with us kept His graco within us and I{is evorlasting srms_sbout us. Dr. Cl:!ylcr hoped that nmn“whu had uot al- ready dong so—and thore might be some among his hearers—would cross over to the othier alde. He wished he had every dram-shop {u Uhicago open to bl to preach fn. e would say to tho - drunkard that thers w hope for him in Christ, and he would try tojpersuade him to go over on tho othorside. Just hore the revereod geutleman gave fostance of the power of the Uouspsl over s drunkard’s heart, which had come under his own personal knowl- cdge, What wau truo fu regard to drunkenness wga truo with mrrd to avery othersin: safaty 1ay fo golng to the other side, Christ bad spaken to the burrlcane o tho ps 3-1 spoken, and was still speaking, to hurrles troutled human breasts. His words, nce, be atii},"! commanded obedlence, and In su bour the foco of thiat troubled ses was =6 smooth as zlass, The victory over the adversary, over passion, over tempor, by the voice of Chris was a glorlous one. By-and-by the pullers af the oars would reach ‘the haven of rest, But thero must be a steady, strong pull,—lke unto that of Brother Moody, for instauce. What a wlorious ‘thing to pull & whola boat-lond of Chrlstlans into Heaven! Ouesiter snother they were coming fnto the haven,—not ons wrecked that reliod on Jesus. No Christian ever aank. Ou tne coutrary, they came into bare bor, the cverlastiog baven. Hs never preschod without feeilng that he was talking to some ooe within a cable's leugth of eternity, Those that ware Christ’s wero al- wost In Heaven; and they wero slmost in p ditlon who wore out of Cbrist, The former, nearing their eud, as they rafsed their eyes to ilenyen, would shout the {vylul words ** Come Lord Jesus; come quickly, Would that mut- titudes might cross over {o the vther side, start ou the yoyago with Christ as their gulde, and at last cntor that haven of rust. HONOR TO 1'1IE BRAVE, . MEMORIAL BERVICES WERE UELD 1n Centeunary Church last evenlng, Iu honor of the decoration of the. soldiers' graves. There was a full congregation, After the usual pre- lminaries, the Rev, Dr. Thomas announced the text from tho 13th chapter of Romans, Hasald that, sfter the taking up of a collection, which Tie hoped would be Jarger than usual, in order to mett & pressing demand, the audicuce would bave tho plessurc of lateniog to Col.
