RECEIVED IN ENGLAND. New Yorl: Erenina Post. Scholars are a good deal divided _ A o, in their judgment. The majority hold that the revisers have done well in taking as the basis of their translation a better Greck text, and are disposed to doubt whether they might not have been even somewhat bolder in their deviations from the received text. There is, indeed, an opposed view,—that the textus re- ceptus ought to have been adhered to, so that no corrections shonld be made except in the English version; and the desirability of having one uniform Greek text for all the * Protestant world is urged, even though that textshould not be the best. Dut this notion, which would have perpetuated false read- Ings that have been long admitted and obelized, finds little favor. As to the details of the new translation there is, of course, an infinit diversity of view. Some think that renderings have been changed which were substantially right in the old version; others, that passages which needed improvement have been left untouched. For instance, one of our most illustrious public men main- tains that if anything ought to have been mended, it was surely the translation of psuchikos anthropos by “natural man” in —~-d: Cora fi. 14, A-warmcontroversy rages over: | the question of “evil,” or “the Evil One,” in { the Lord’s Prayer—i. c., whethertou poncrow isto be taken as neuter or as masculine. : Agreement on such mutters was not to be ! looked for; and no one will deny that the re- ' visers have, as might be expected from the ereat advances which Greek scholarship.has amade since King James’ days, presented a far more exact expression in English of the meaning of the Greek original than the Authorized Version contains. Probably -}- ne translation of any Greek or Latin author can be pointed out in which so much attention has been paid to every shade of sense and turn of phrase. There is really nothing in this new version which can be called an error;even those who disapprove of the decisions at which the translators have arrived in particular passages must admit, ‘that there is always much to be said for their view, and that it would be impossible to im- agine any work done with more scrupulous care or a more competent skill in the usages of Hellenistic Greek. ‘Phe question ratheris, whether they have not thought too much of accuracy and too little of the effect to be pro- duced on ordiuary readers; whether in their anxiety to convey every shade of meanmy they have not puttoo fine a point upon their English, and, soto speak, whittled away some of the strength and broad simplicity of the original. rf is ‘This brings one to consider the sentiments with which the general public has received the translation. Though, as has been already said, England has not yet finally expressed its mind, still the general feeling can hardly be mistaken. Itis.a feeling not precisely of displeasure, but of discomfort. The tradi- tional phrases which familiarity and the as- sociations of childhood had hallowed have been so modified as to lose their charm. The cadence of the sentence to which the ear nad grown so accustomed that they were alw: read with particular inflections of the voice has been broken, so that utuch practice will be needed to get. new inflections that _wiil give. equal pleasure. . People who have tried the new version by reading it aloud at family worship complain that they are constantly being pulled up and stumbling over small changes in expression which do not seem to them to make any perceptible ditference in the meaning. And many individual passages have been in- dicaied where words of Latin origin ‘have been substituted for the Tentonic words of the Authorized Version, giving a sort of flatness and commonplaceness as well as modernism. ‘The new version, in short, is accused of being less picturesque and more prosaic than the earlier one, Taste is ex- 4 tremely sensitive in these matters, and it cannot be denied that the occasional ar- chaisms of King James’ version had the am ect of enhancing the Gignity of the Bible: ey removed it from modern associs $ they made people feel the better that it be- longs toa remote time: their very pecul- farity caused the memory to be more tena- rious of them. _ ‘The revisers have been too much Greek scholars and too little English writers. They bave proceeded as if the main thing to be done was to weigh out with precision every dunce of meaning that the Greek text con- tains, They have not. sufliciently remem- dered, in the fi , that they were deal- with an ting version, Which ought Rot to be altered usiless where some distinct and substantial improvement was to be ob tained; and, secondly, tuat the m lite 2 rendering is not necessarily that which best tonveys the sense tv a reader in another tongue. It isnot for professed theologians that a revised version was needed, since they fust in any case go to the original, and con- duct their discussions with reference to its Words, comparing the use of the Greek term in one passage with its use in another. | ab ie Recuracy needed for ordinary readers is dif- ferent, “It is only such an accuracy as may keep them from misconstruing the eripintes and drawing from them unwarranted conclu- sions either of dozma or moral precept; fae au the state of public opinion, alia bere el ve scribe it nee i sa here fs little felfliood of the Revised_V a sion finding its way into official use. ne at as I know, none of the more importaut 3 sou conformist bodies has adopted it for pu bile Worship.

To the Jarge and increasing class of persons who desire to read the Bible intelligently and teach it. in Sunday: schools, but have no knowledge of the original tongues, it is of the utmost service as throwing light on the old Version, giving a better idea of the mean- ing of diflicult passages, emancipating them from conventional phrases, and. showing them how to apply their minds to make out the connection of a writer's thoughts.

Some weeks ago the South Side Christian Church of this city addressed to the Chris- tian Brotherhood, of which President Gar- eld is amember, the following circular tet- ter: CHIcago, Ill, July 7, 1881.—To the Christian Brotherhood: You will bear with us in the sug- xestion we ure about to make, which bas no doubt already occurred to muny of you, and to which we now bey leave to invite the attention of the others. The Treasurer of the Washington City Church Fund bas jugt submitted a statement or the condition of thut fund, in which it appears that our contributions have so far been shamefully meagre. We have been slow to enter the open dvor which God in His Providence set before ua, and which was so nearly closed again, and for- ever, by the ussasin’s hand. ‘Tis said that *Diessings brighten as they taks their Hight"; and uever did our opportunity seem so great us when it was passing away, and never did our want of zeal and liberality and appreciation of a great trust uppear s0 utterly inexcusable a3 when God seemed hiding His face from us. But the reat, opportunity so nearly removed is here in its fullness again,—the dvor almost closed is once more set wide open before us. Goi! has heard the prayers of His peopic, and has given back to us the jife of our beloved President und brother, James A. Garfield. It is fitting that we ‘should render thanksgiv- ing to God tor this sienal display of His good. ness and power. And what more appropriate expression of zratitude could we sive than to buiid at the National Capital a Memorial Church ju commemorauon of His merey in restoring to us this great and good man? ‘And in order thut we may act unitedly in this great interest, e would suggest that the second Lord's day in August be set aside as a day of thanksgiving to Gou, and that un that day a col- lectiou ve taken and pledges be received for the Washington Church Fund, our offerings to be an expression of our gratitude to God, and the Chureh we build a memorial of his mercy.

MEETINGS BEGUN AGAIN ORTHFIELD. Northfield (Mass. Letter in Springfeld Repudtican. Evangelist D. L. Moody’s Bible meetings are in progress here, the first gathering bemg held at the North Church this afternoon, when Mr. Moody presided. Things will be in running order by to-morrow, and the gatherings, which are to be continued: until September, promise to be latgely attended. But some words as to the preliminaries are inorder. “Northfield ?- Northfield 2? said a gentleman whom we met at the Pequot House, New London, the other day. ‘There isto be a great time there, I know, at Mr. Moody’s convocation for Bible study, but where is Northfield? Where do you go to get to Northfield? Must you go through Uartford?” ‘Northfield is the most north- ern town in Massachusetts, lying upon the Connecticut River,” we said, “and is the only town that is divided by that river. To go there from here, you go directly up the line of the New London Northern Railroad without delay or change of cars—if you take the 5o’clock a. m. boat train. If youare in New Haven or Hartford, you go up over the Connecticut River Line to South Vernon, which is also the West Northtield station; and if you are in Boston you take the Fitchburg Road to Miller’s Fails, and there ehange for Northfield, twelve miles further north.” “Is that so?” said the gentleman, thoughtfully. ‘Is that so? I know where Jerusalem is, and I. know how to get there, for I have been there, but 1 have never been able to locate Northfield before.” ““Itis a lovely place,” suid an old gentie- man who stood near; “I was there for a few hours during the ten days’ convocation Jast year. It is undoubtedly one of the most peatitiful rural places in the world, with the charming views I ever saw.” “You must stay more than a few hours,” replied a lady sitting near, “to enjoy the changing light of morning, midday, Sunset, and mooulight upon the placid river, the picturesque hills and woodland, the Droad meadows abounding in every shade of green with which growing and ripening vegetation iscapable, and upon the distant, undulating hills and the blue mountains in the shadowy distance. It is a fit place to retire fora season froin the busy world and all ordinary occupation for Scripture study and prayer, for one must acknowledge instinet- ively that God alone was the creator of the wondertully beautiful scenery that imeets the ye at every turn.’ bas Ss aos undoubtedly one turns more readily to sacred things when they are fairly out of the world,” said atall, nervous man who had been fidgeting about the group list- ening to the conversation. “But Northfield is not out of the world by any means,” put inthe lady; “you forget that you are only six hours from. New, York, four from Bos- ton, and two from Springtield, with trains continually running. It is its quiet beauty and readiness of access that is sure to make it popular as a wayside resting-place for hours, or days, or weeks, as the case may be.” “The feast promises to be a rich one, said some one else, ‘as plans are developed and the names of additional workers are an- nounced. Ihave been turning ny own at tention in that direction with a good deal of interest.” “I want to go,” said an age minister who stood: leaning his trembling form upon his staff. “*Ldo not yet see my yay clear, but if the Lora wants me there he vi w me the way.” - = pied weresume oF the expressions of niere estin the Northfield convocation for Bi le study that we heard at one point of a some what round-about summer journey.

Continual improvement woing on at the “North End,” and it tal ho great streteh of the imagination to look forward to the time when the place will he one of unsurpassed beauty. Mr. Moody’s Brounds are at the head of the broad, grassy, shadowy street which stretches southward for three miles or nore, shaded by four rows of mugnificent trees. ‘The dwellings are for the most vart substantial, sqtare, two-story . Nansions, here and there shooting out a bay- Window, piazza, or portico, each surrounded by its own green-shaded lawn and well-kept garden, brightened by beds of. brilliant lowers. , ‘There are summer guests or boarders dur- ing the convocation in most of these pleas- ant, homelike dwellings, and almost every available room is engaged for guests from abroad, and, although there is a great deal of cooking to be done and general housework to be looked after, it will all be well done with characteristic New England “ faculty,” and the notable housewives will be out in dainty toilets to attend the meetings, and will Keep up an intelligent interest “in the Bible study and in ail the Christian workers in spite of accumulated family cares. As for the men, the haying is well along, the tye is harvested, the corn and tobacco are growing. There is always plenty to do ona farm, but these farmers are ‘* independent,” and you will find them at every considerable gathering making the most of this somewhat unique innovation upon the monotony of their rural life, which is entirely due to their distinguished fellow-townsman, Evangelist Moody. Teams are already running from the railway station, which lies on the river side of the street, to the Seminary building, — and is noticeable that many of the rude*vehicles of last year have given place to handsomely-cushioned earryalls purchased for the occasion by en- terprising citizens who are anxious tuearn an honest penny by transporting passengers, On our way up trom the station on -Tues- day we met Mr, Sankey, his handsome face beaming with the good nature aud quick ree- ognition that wins all hearts. As we drove up to the foot of the plank-walk leading to the seminary building one of the Indian girls, in whom the whole country takes ‘a lively, sympathetic interest, tripped out upon the porch with her hands full of fresh ferns, with which she was decorating the rooms. As the carriage stopped, Mr. Davis, who 1s now Mr. Moody's manager of al Mr. Marshall, who is now in ANG running down the walk and gave the new- comers cor grecting, “There. are nO more rooms to be hal in the seminary building,” said Mr. Moody to me yesterday, “They were all taken thirty days ag Still, there is room enough .in the village for all who cowe early.

Itis well known that there ar parties among the three leading denominations—Baptist, Congregational, and Methodists—as to Mr. Moody and his meth- hose who are indifferent, not to sa inimical, being largely in the majority, sho ing a lack of spirituality greatly to the detri- ment of themselves and the souls for whom they are supposed to care, as was remarked. to me by an aged clerical alumnus of Yale yesterday.

VICAR-GENERAL QUINN’S VIEWS UPON TH SUGGESTION OF A TRANSFER TO AME Ica. im the The Neto York Tribune. Recent dispatches from Londonstated that the Standard’s correspondent at Rome said that serious propogals had recently been made to the Pope that he should transfer the seat of the Holy See to America, where an independent position would be assured him. In the absence of Cardinal McCloskey from the city, Vicar-General Quinn was called upon last evening by a V'rivwne reporter with reference to thisstatement. The Vicar- General said, very promptly and decidedly: “It is nonsense, sheer nonsense.” “Can you give we the reasons why 2” “There are innumerable reasons, and such patent ones that I can sum. them all up in my first statement: it is nonsense!” “Will you state the most important and essential reason?” “Asa pure business matter, for the mere management of the affairs of the Church, it would be folly to think of transferring the Holy See to America. ‘Lhe whole Papal es- tablisment is Jocated at Rome: there are the Yatican and St. Pete: there are the Cardi- nals, some eighty in number, and all the committees for transacting the business of the Church. They have been located at Rome for ages, and Rome is properly situated for the lloly See in its relations to the whole of Europe. ‘This whole establishment could not be transferred to America, Asa matter of Church management and of practical pellty the Holy See could not be: located here, “Would the prestige of the name of Rome have any importance jn the matter??? “No, not necessarily; it is a matter of con- venience.” “Would the Pope not be less trammeled here than in Italy, where he has been de- prived of his temporal power?” “He would not think of that foramo- ment; he would not take into consideration any personal feelings of inconvenience or lack of freedom; the’ good of the Cliurcl would control him, He would never think of looking toward any other country than Italy, unless he were exiled from Rome, as when the Pope was banished by Napoleon; but there is no likeliood of any. re currence of anything of that nd, The Pope’s revenue was largely dimin- ished by the loss of the States of the Church and other temporal power, but it has been made. zood by contributions and other means, so that he is not affected essentially by the loss, so far as his revenue is con- cerned. There is no apprehension, | think, of any further interference.with the Holy See or any further hostile acts on the part of the Italian Government.” “ ‘Phen there hasbeen no consideration of any possible transfer of the Holy See ?? “None whatever: it would -be impossible for it to be done, and senseless,” GENERAL NOTES.

Commissioner Wailer has determined to take prompt action witha view to enforce the ordinance designed to do away with the present extravagant water-waste going on in the city. It is an outrageous fact that millions of gallons of water are: wasted every day by citizens who are either ignor- ant of the law or boldly indifferent regarding it, Garden-hose are allowed to run alk day long with no one watching them,—just pour- ing water out on the grass and then into the gutter,—bydrants are teft open, and detective plumbing which — admits “ot experienced most by persons Who are obliged to get their water-supply from the upper stories of buildings wheré, owing to the reckless ite, it does not run half the time. It should also be remembered that the fact of a water-metre being on any premises does not give the people on these premises any right to waste water at will. ‘To-morrow Commissioner Waller will send. out circulars to all parts of the city reading as follows: To the occupant. of No. — — street: In con- sequence of the enormous daily coustmption cf water in our city the Commissioner of Public Works rexpectfuily invites your attention to the following ubstruct of the inunictpal code bear- ing upon the subject: “SEC. 2,047.

The daily supply to our city is 70,000,000 sallons, or about 1 gatlons for each individual for a popu- lution of 4 gouls,—a quantity greatly be- yond all legitimate wants, ‘The use of water through hose during tho hours prohibited by Jaw tends to Interfere with its flow for household purpuses, and becomes souree of anvoyance and inconvenience to those occupying the upper portion of high buildings. ‘The Commissioner asks the codperation of all good citizens in tho obscrvayce of this kw in Particular, and in tha prevention of all unneces- sary waste of water for any purvose whatever, to the end that nil may enjoy the use of an abundant supply for all useful purposes. Crates S. WALLER, Commissioner, <<a IRISH PROTESTANT NATIONALISTS. Yo the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, CiicaGo, Aug. 13.—Permit me, as an Irish Protestant, to say a few words in an- swer to your leader of to-day on “Irish- American Separatist Agitators.” Whether the separation of Lrelana from the rule of En- gland is possible or would be beneficial E shall leave an open question, but will say that when the Irish people give up the idea of national independence they will cease to exist, for so jong as even ten of them are alive ou earth they will never relinquish that idea. . What I take exception to is your implying that almost all Irish Protestants are loyal to English rule. ‘This is a great mistake. flatter myself that | know Jretand, ineluding the Province of Ulster, as well as most men, and unhesit&tingly affirm that outside of the Orangemen anda few Protestant land- Jord shoneens, the great mass of the Protest- ants of Ireland are largely disaffected to- wards English rule, and they would be pal- troous if they were not,. and those of them that are not are poltroons. [It may be readily conceded that many Irisi Protest- ants feel but scout loyalty to British rule; but, however they dislike the English Gov- ernment, they dread as an iniinitly greater evil to them Roman Catholic domination over them. This feel, “is undoubtedly the main jigament that hola. ‘ue to the British con- nection, and makes them uncompromising opponents of Irish national independence and separation from the British Empire. Our correspondent confirms this to be a fact in his next sentence. We are not. discussing the reasonableness of Protestant fears and appreliensions, but merely referring to the notorious fact of its existence as one of the factors that complicates the Celtic independ- ence question.—Ep.| a ‘The only thing that hinders Irish Protest- ants from being rebels against English rule alinost to aman is a very natural fear uf the intolerance of the Roman Chureh, an intol- erance which, in Ireland at least, owes most of its origin. to the horrible way m wh Catholics were persecuted in Ireland by Ir ish Protestants in the last century: While a Protestant by descent and birth, per- mit me to say that if there are two words in of Janguage that I hate with a hh I pray may last forever, these are the words, holic and Protestant. It was those words and the untold misery they connect that has left my country to-day the pauper and the pariah of nations. ‘The true Irish Nationalist must learn banish these words from his vocab- ulary. Lf drishmen haven't manhood enough to put the cause of their country above that of their respective churches they will never be anything but what they ar and their country will be ever the same_piti- able object that she is at present. Every Irishman that knows anything knows that it was sectarian bitterness and spite that de- feated all Ireland’s efforts to recover her tiberty, and L therefore unhesitatingly give it as my opinion that whatever Irishman puts the Welfare of whatever sect he belongs to above the welfare of his country is a mist able poltroon that every Irish Nationalist ought to trest with contempt and scorn. Irishmen must learn to put the cause of their country above everytiing.—not only above health and wealth, life and death, but above religion itself if needs Respectfully yours, AN ‘3 PROTESTANT.

Probable Repetition of the Wag- ner Program. TINE THOMAS CONCERTS. The Thomas season of concerts has now" entered uponits last. week, and for the clos- ing performances an unusually attractive series of programs have been prepared. Dur-- ing the past week there were two features which deserve notice. The first of these is the Wagner night, and this we only mention by way of a suggestion. ‘The program was one which a large number of people were desirous of hearing, but could not, owing to the unusual noise on the tracks outside dur- ing the entire evening. Would it not be well, therefore, to repeat the program, or at least the second part of it, which was devoted to the “Trilogy,” and was therefore eompara- tively new, during the latter part of the week? The main feature of interest during the week was tho performance of the Rubinstein Symphony, the Fifth, “Avhich might almost be. called the Russian S . waste gues unrepaired. - | Symphony, so full is it of local color, ronultine: fon thie state We have already printed a detailed deserip- i tion ot the work, which was warranted by the time in this country, hard and ungrateful to judge of work from a single hearing, especi: 1 th case of one like this symphony, which, it is quite evident, will grow into favor with re- peated hearing, and yet it can be credited with having made a Success as a whole and a success of enthusiasm in one of its move- ments, the andante. which is so delightful- dy introduced by the horn, .

Itis > darge a eins bold inethods of treatment and scoring, and it closes wit splendid rush and whirl of full orchestra, Which is massive in character and apart from the general nature of the rest ot the work.

If there were no other at- tractions in if the sprightly allegro and lovely, satisfying andante would save it. Considering the short time the orchestra had it in hand, it was very creditably performed. For this week the programs are unusually brilliant. ey will present the following numbers, Which may be classed as new musi Hoffinann’s “Zweigesprach and Karnevalsscene”; Liszt's Sixtn Rhapsoay; Leo Delibes’ gorgeous ballet musie, entitled “Sylvia,” in tour numbers, which is entirely new here: two entr’actes anda ballet sir from Schubert's *Rosamonde”; the ballet music to Rubinstein’s * Demon,” which has. never yet been hi 2 Sagns’ barcarole, * U.

It belongs to his first period, and shows all through it traces of Maydn’s and Mozart’s infiuenc and yet is full of his own caluiness fulness and rises from their grace into the higher regions of grandeur. It has in it reminiscences of the pastoral sonata which was written about the same time.
