The further assumption that the Bible will be read more than it is if it in put into as Dr. Moffat is pleaned to characterise his translation-effes tive and inteligible English" is also, we believe, entirely without foundation.

In each of the above-named verses in the old Version there is a sentence which has become part of our common, daily speech. Yet Dr. Moffatt has found them unintelligible and cut them out.

Of course, if there really are people who can accept this nigularly vapid rendering of the organ-ausic of the great Hebrew books as more effective and intelligible, and, as Dr. Moffat hopes, also more interesting perhaps and less obscure than the Version" authorised by James I, there is nothing more to be said.

But it will be a Spartan choice.

For

of this stateliness and fragance of the the which English tongue into Authorised Version was rendered more than 300 hundred years ago to the de- light of successive generations scarce a fragment or a trace survives in Dr. Moffat's translation.

Why does not Dr. Mallat translate Shakespeare? Presumably that also is no longer intelligible, since the "Swan of Avon and the old transla- tors of the Bible flourished and wrote at the same time.-Iily Mail.
