Tiopo ' and fear. To meet this condition, the word of God abounds with' innu merable promises, to fortify the soul ggainst the depressing influences of fear. There is of course a fear which ihonld always enter in as an essen tial element of christian character, a filial fear of God ; , a fear whi ch inclines the heart to revere. God as JieKinsc of tings which deters us from disobedience and leads us to avoid everything known to be dis pleasing to him. A slavish tear, however, is incompatible with "the true christian character; for love has entered in and taken possession of the heart and we well know that 'perfect love caste th out fear.' Such a fear, associates the name of God with" all that is terrible and sa vors more of the thunders of Sinai, than the matchless exhibitions of Jove on Calvary. There are fears, however, which are constantly produced by doubts arid trials, disappointment and anx iety, and our peculiar circumstan ces in life. Such fears are so com mon that they cannot be regarded as arj?ilectioa. upon the ' christian I. character. In fact, some ot the best and most devoted servants of God in every age of the world, have ex perienced such fears, and have been subjected to the deep distress of spiritual conflicts. Tho many ten der and encouraging words of Je hovah, indicate his sympathy for his people, and as he well knows that such fears interpose a serious obstacle to the' full enjoyment of that peace which he alone can give, he often speaks tq allay them, and to counteract! their depressing ef fects. There is no expression em ployed more frequently for his pur pose than the words "Fear - not."- j When Abraham lamented his child-; less condition, and feared that after ; his death no one from his own loins : wonld inherit his name and posses sions, the Almighty fsaid to him, "Fear nof,1 Abraham, I am thy! shield and thy exceeding great ; re- ward." SrtSdlaV words were spokenS to Isaac when he was: sent forth! irom trie presence w auiuiciwu,! and to Moses when he stood ! with! the hosts of Israel on the banks of the Red Sea and to " Paul on that fearful night of threatened ship-j wreck, on his journey to.' Borne.. Lr j ' In more than fifty other places! 1 are these words - repeated, i In f alL "ihese instances the result demon- Btrated that all - their , fears , were groundless sand that all the purpos-j es of God would be fulfilled in spite) ' of tbo ; most unfavorable circutnl :: -t i. , t stances.

REVISION OP THE ENGLISH SCRIPTURES. NO. 3. AMERICAN BIBLE UJTION. Afo.32 Great Jones SlreetNew York. The two great Bible Societies that largely rule the religious and mis sionary world in their particulpr department, in making the common English ' version the standard in translation and circulation, have committed a wrong against revealed trnth and Christian principle.

In addition to these disadvantages, the translators of King James were restricted by rules imposed by the monarch, which precluded; them from thoroughness and fidelity One of these ; " The old ecclesiastical- words i to be retained, as . the word 'church', not to be translated ! 'congregation.' . . Nearly all the translators were Episcopalians, The work was designed tp uphold the Church of Eogland. In their dedi cation of the book to the monarch who employed them, they declare; . "And now at last, by the mercy and the continuance: of our labors, it being brought into such a conclu sion as that we have great hopes that the Church of England shall reap, good fruit thereby: we hold it our duty to offer it to Your Maiestv. eign, but as to the principal Mover and Author of the work." The object, thus ingenuously ac knowledged, was kept i n view whenever the circumstances of the case would permit. To support the unscriptural order of prelates whom, in common with the .Roman Catholics, they called Bish ops they assert, at the close ot the 2d Epistle to Timothy, that he was "ordained ; the first Bishop of the Church of the Cretans." is also 'rendered "Bishop,' in stead of overseer, its legitimate and intelligible meaning. In Acts xii, 4, o naoxt the passover, is trans latcdEaBter,"to wrest the support of Sacred Scripture to a day ceremo niously, observed by the Romish and Episcopal Churches, and named from the. Saxon goddess, to whom sacrafices were anciently offered about the same season of the year. To enforce by. Scripture an idea in terwoven with the system of the Church of England, that edifices of stone , and , wood are Churches, in Aots xixv 37; the Word is placed in mouth , of the heathen magistrate. To correspond with the usages of the same Unurch,the writers of the New a esbauiem are canonized oy tne pre fix of ''Saint" to their names. Thus. the Common English Version was made, to; sustain episcopacy. . A faithful revision of the book must necessarily remove, these props of prelacy and hierarchy.
