TABERNACLE SERMONS-
DISCOURSE BY KEV. T. JDeWITT TALMACE
ON SUNDAY, JUNE 5.
The New Version a Mutilation and a Profan
ation.
Test, II. Samuel, vii, 6 and 7: “And when
they came to Nochnn’a thrashing floor, Uzzali
nut forth his hand to the ark of God and took
hold of it, for tlio oxen shook it. And the an
ger of the Lord woa kindled against Uriah, and
(lod smote him there for his error.”
The sacred chest ol acacia wood,
called the Ark ot the Covenant, al>oui
four leet by two, golden lidded, golden
ringed, and mounted of two cheru
bim, aud made to contain the divine
ctiv» mint, aud at one time holdiug a
bowl of wilderness manna and Aaron’s
rod, that budded, was the most sacred
box ever created. It was in the pres-
cnee of that chert God commnned
with the Israelites. Improperly to
touch that box was death. All the
people understood it. On one occasion
tilty thousand and seventy people lost
their lives by irreverence to the box.
The circumstances of my text were
these : That precious chest was being
transferred ou a cart drawn by oxen.
Now, oxeu are an uncertain team,
especially when, on a hot day, they
conic near a shadow ; lor, without rel-
erence to the safety of that which they
draw, they dart aside for the cool
place. For this or some other reason
the oxen, with this precious chest,
made home sudden start, and the box
rocked, aud Uzzah, the driver, put his
hand upon it. lie had no business to
touch it under ary circumstances.
Under tho judgment of God this dri
ver drops dead by the cart wheel.
That box long ago perished, for it
was conflagrant with the ancient tem
ple. But we have a sacred chest, an
ark of the covenant—the Bible. Like
the ark of old, it contains the divine
covenant, and the manna for poor
wildernesscd pilgrims, and the rod of
Double that has budded into fragrant
consolation, and over it tho mercy
seat. It is so sacred that the hands
ot worldly criticism, and the hands of
pedantry, and the hauds of useless dis
turbance, had better keep off ot it.
Wrongly to touch that omnipotent
box, which is our ark ot the covenant,
is to die.
We are in the midst of a great ag
itation, consequent upon the revision
ot tho Scriptures. We had a transla
tion two hundred and seventy years
old, embossed in the warmest affec
tions of all the good of earlh, inter
locked with the best secular literature,
and pronounced by the Websters and
the Washington Irvings as the master
piece of English prose, the translation
at work blessing and revolutionizing
the nations for good, and all Christen
dom satistied with the translation ex
cept a tew.doctors of divinity. But
two companies, an Old Testament
Company and a New Testament Com
pany, have been busy for ten years
changing the book, and a few days
ago the New Testament Company
launched the results of their labors
upon the world. After great universal
advertisement of the intended book,
and the dramatic withholding of the
tioi k till a certain day, and then with
holding it till a still further day, the
work comes forth. The English print
ing press keeps a tight grip on the
copyright, and when our American
publishing houses offered a large sum
for tho privilege ot reproducing the
book simultaneously, the English
• presses rejected the offer in cavalier
and abrupt sl> le. This severe copy
right, not to meet the expense of the
revision, for that was met by private
subscription, the 130,000 subscribed
on this side the sea for traveling ex
penses being a very small part of the
moneys contributed by benevolent
men. Two million copies are sold in
tw-o days. What a compliment to the
Scriptures! Yes; but be not deceived.
Did tho two million people suddenly
become passionately fond of Scripture
reading r No. These two million
Bibles went into houses where the
Bible was already enthroned. All those
of us who honored the book wanted
to know what these men had been do
ing with our favorite for ten years.
Had we a statnc in New York City
Hall Park that had been the pride of
the nation since its foundation, and
sculptured and lifted at vast expense,
and thirty-eight men for ten years
had been busy under cove- changing
that statue, on the morning the cover
dropped and the changes should be
revealed, there would be no room in
the streets and squares approximate to
hold the spectators. In addition to
this general curiosity which we all
felt about the iconoclasm of parts of
our liest hook, the denominations of
religionists were anxious to see if their
peculiar views would be favored or
opposed by the new version. The
Baptists wanted to see what the re
visionists had done for immersion, and
the Piesbyterians what bad been done
cliout the decrees, and the Episcopal
ians to see what had been done about
Apostolic succession, and the Metho
dists to see what had been done about
free grace, and the Congregationalists
to see what had been done about the
democracy of religion, and the Uni-
versalists what bad been done with
future punishment, and so we all rush
ed for the revised New Testament.
The church and the world have the
famous revision before them. We
are asked for our verdiot. We all
have a vote. The humblest person
in this house has a vote. l What do
you think of it S” is the perpetual
then I will say the same thing.’ There
are many who do not want to offend
the Ecclesiastical Ring, lor each de
nomination has such a ring, and there
is as much bossism in the church of
God as in the world, and monopoly
would rule the kingdom ot Christ, if
it conld, as it rules the money markets
and legislatures of the world. There
are two voices that have not yet
been fully heard: First, the unpre
tending Christian scholarship of
America and England is displeased
more than it can express at' many of
tho changes made; and the other
voice is the voice of the great masses
of Christian people—nine hundred
and ninety -nine out of every thou
sand—who regret, in the depths of
their soul that this r, vision has been
attempted,, and who look upon it as a
desecration, and a profanation, and a
mutilation ami a religious outrage.
That last sentiment will come up like
the surges of the Atlantic alter a tenv
pest of ten days. I shall give you my
reason for rejecting this new revision
of tho Scriptures. I am willing to
take it as a commentary, and to stand
it respectfully mi my bookshelf be
hind other hulnan opinions of the
word of God. But to put it upon
my private stand, or in my family
room, or on my pulpit, as a substitute
for King James’ translation, I never
will. I put my hand on the old book
and take oath of allegiance So help
me God ! I am glad to know that
Lord Shaltesbnry, and Archbishop of
York, and many other strong men on
the other side of the sea are anti-re-
visioni: ts. But, supported by high
authority or no authority, I here and
now take my stand.
These fifty men, for ten years busy
in tinkering with the New Testament
agree in the statement that they find
no new doctrine. Differing on many
other things, they all agree here. If it
bail been fannd that the old trausla-
tiod was teaching any lalse ideas of
God, or the soul, or the future, I
would say by all means give us a new
revision, and put forth immediatC’and
mightiest effort for the organized ob
literation of the old translation. The
world cannot afford to have wrong
notions of God and the soul and eter
nity. But the new version keeps all
the old doctrines. Then wbat good
reason could there be lor this disturb
ance of sacred association, this loos
ening ot the faith of Christendom ?
It is too late to reconstruct the Bible.
When King.James’ translation ws-
made tho Bible was a sparsely circu
lated book; and the changes mad el
caused no wide perturbation. But
this revision of 1881 is a depreciation
of three hundred million copies of the
Bible out in the world and doiog their
w ork. It. assails the magnificent fits
urgy of the Episcopal Church, and
makes all her prayer hooks vast inac
curacies. It makes the inscriptions
on tho graves of your dead untrue. It
reflects upon the old family Bible, and
to the initiated leaves nothing about
it certain save the record of mars
riages, births and deaths. If this next
revision succeed, for the next few
years you will have to watch your
children’s offerings of the Lord’s
Prayer, and jerk them up short before
they run over the ‘evil one’ into the
uninspired doxology. It is an out
and-out war against all the religious
literature of the ages. Away with
your Crndcn’s and Brown’s Concord
ance. Your Bible dictionaries wrong.
Matthew Henry’s commentary wrong.
Kilto’8 readings wrong. Yahn’s arch-
seology wrong. All yonr religious
books wrong. In matters of religions
accuracy il means chaos and old night.
Who undertook this impertinence on
the other side ot the sea ? I know not
the qualifications of the archbishops
and archdeacons and professors who
have done the work on the other side
ot the Atlantic. I understand that
many of them are far from being the
best scholars - of Great Britain,
know that men of great titles are of
the merest accident, and their high
office no sign of scholarship. D. D.,
L. L. D., and F. 11. S. are often the
heavy baggage of a very slow train,
I only judge them by this revision.
It Is pedantic and capricious, and
false to the principle which they de
clared at the outset would cuide
them; namely that they would make
no unnecessary changes. As to the
work done by the American revision
ists I have this to say—one gentleman
here takes the responsibility of choos
ing a group of American scholars to
revise the New Testament. The gen
tleman taking this responsibility,
having been born and educated in
foreign land, was not especially
adapted to make wise selections
among American scholars. This gen
tleman, in making the selection derid
ed the living and dead generations of
Bible readers by saying and reiter
ating: ‘Tho Christian people for
years have been drinking the water
of life from the jawbone of a royal
ass.’ This gentleman selects a group
of scholars to revise the New Testa,
meat, and excepting lour of them they
are unknown outside of their little
circle. I could call the the roll of
hundred scholars superior to all those
employed in this work except Dr.
Woolsey. If such a work must need
be done, why not call in convention
all tho great men and scholars ot
America and have them make selec
tion of revisionists ? Where in this
New Testament Company is the
scholarship of Princeton, and Colum
bia, and Middleton, and New Bruns
wick?
The work is a literary bolch which
will never be adopted if all the people,
fearless of criticism and rebuff, speak
out their real sentiments. To come
down to the mechaninul arrangement
of this new version, I vehemently re
ject the mode of puttingthe Scripture
in columns like a solid newspaper col
umn, instead of tlio division of verses
up a verse and carry it all day. I open
a page of this new version and I find
one paragraph a column ard a half
long. By this new translation one
will be tempted to think, ‘I can’t take
the whole page, so I will take nothing.’
That shortest verse of the Bible, an
ocean of sympathy compressed in two
words—Jesus wept—is set in a solid
paragraph of one column and a half.
You can find it if you look long enough
tor it, but it needs to stand out isolated
and alone in its grandeur, and tender
ness, and pathos, and omnipotence of
meaning. Another mechanical ntislbr-
tnno is tlio dropping of the headings
of the chapters. It is an important
part of the old translation. We all
want to know what the chapter is
about before we begin to read it
I reject the new veision for its
amazing trivially. You have more
control over your sense of the ridicu
lous tjian I have if you can read with
out a smile some ot the changes made
or proposed. You remember Christ’s
sermon where he speaks of the inap
titude of putting new wine into old
bottles. In this new version of 1881
it is rendered : ‘No man pmteth new
wine into old wine skins, else the
win-, will burst the skins, ami the wine
pcrishelh amt the skins. But they
put new wine into fresh wine skins.’
Tho change is evidently made to show
that the bottles of olden time weic
made of the skins of animals but is it
not just as easy to explain the hollies
to the people as to explain the wine
skins ? ‘Show me a penny,’ said Christ,
wishing, from the kingly stamp on it,
to illustrate its earthly currency. That
will not do, say the revisionists. In
stead of‘show me a penny,’ Show me
a denarius.’ The revision changes the
‘beasts’ of Revelation into ‘living crea
tures.’ But will you not have to ex
plain the living creatures as \t ell as
the beasts? The old translation was
too much' for the delicacy of the
American part of the New Testament
Company. Where it says of Simon
Peter, ‘he girt his coat about him, for
he was naked,’ the American commit
tee suggests that it should read in the
margin, ‘had on his undergarment
only.’ The old translation said t ‘Nei
ther do men light a candle and put it
under a bushel, but on a candlestick.’
The revisers reject ‘candlestick’ for
‘stand.’ The new revision makes other
changes of how little less importance
judge ye. when it says that the old
translation, which reads ‘into a moun
tain,’ ought to be ‘into the mountain
150,000 varieties of readings in the
New Testament. The devil takes
these statistics which you can man
age without damage to yourself, and
he makes them the everlasting ruin
of a great multitude. This movement
will turn more souls into stark infi
delity than the thirty—eight gentle
men of the New Testament Company
will ever aroui9e out of it, though they
should five the 896 years of Mabala-
leel, the 962 years of Jared, and the
969 years of Methuselah aggregated.
The greatest work of the last, tyvn
hundred - years has been to have Hie
people understand that this was the
Word of God—the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing hut the truth.
And now you say there are only
10.0U0 mistakes in it, and only about
135,000 reading-, and forty changes
to be mado iu the Sermon on the
Mount. You say they ore not radical
mistakes. Why, then, all this excite
ment of the public mind ? Look out,
lest while with torches you are hunt
ing for rats in the cellar, you do not
setiti coutlagralion the august temple.
For ten years, and ever since I heard
of the movement, I have deplored il.
But there has been lto good time to
speak on the subject till now. 1 may
be scoffed at tor my words in' very
high places, but I atn only putting
into words the sentiment of mure

much.’ Others say ‘I like it to

the charm of our old book that a bus

Itesma'.s of difference with which I
shall not worry your patience. Thirty-
eight men for ten years hunt tor inac
curacies, and all this only a foretaste
of what we shall have when, after
three years more of labor, tho forty-
one members of the Old Testameut
company will launch their work. I
have sometimes wondered wbat the
thirty-eight gentlemen of the New
Testament Company and the fortv-one
gentlemi n of the Old Testament Com-
pany might have accomplished for
good if they had spent tlie last ten
years in preaching the old translation
instead offinding fault with it, and it
the hundreds ot thousands of dollars
which, directly or indirectly, had been
expended in the preparation of this
new revision had been put into the
American Bible Society or the Eng
lish Bible Society for the spreading
abroad of that old translation, out of
whose loins civilization and Christian
ity were born, and under whoso influ.
ence England and America are what
they are, and the dark skies of heath
endom begin to flame with the morn
ing. What the world wants is not
critics, but evangels; not.men to
knock the doxology out of the Lord’s
Prayer, but men to make all nations
kneel, proclaiming at the feet of Christ,
'Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the gloty torever,amen\ At the
opening of the service to-day 1 led you
in the Lord’s Prayer according to the
new version, stopping before the dox
ology, but I will never do it again,
either in public or private, unless in
my dying prayer my breath Should go
out at that point, and then I would
finish it in heaven ; for that is the only
part of the Lord’s prayer appropriate
for both church' militant and church
triumphant.
I reject this revision because il
comes at a.- meet inopportune date.
The great battle between sin and
righteousness is fully open, and all the
batteries are unlimbered. While the
lorccs ot heaven and hell are in hand-
to-hand fight it is asked that wc stop
to discuss whether our weapons might
not be hammered into a little belter
shape; whether we can’t have a bet
ter tassel put on the hilt of our sword,
since they make better tassels noy
than they used to. While the apoca
lyptic angel is flying tbrongli the
midst of heaven proclaiming to all
nations and kindred aud people the
gospel, we are criticising the angel’s
plumes and trying to catch him till
we can stroke Ins lealh-rs another
way.
Again, I reject this new revision,
fur it shakes the faith ot many in the
truth of the bible. Out aud out in
fidelity, after hundreds ot years ot
bombardment, instead of demolishing,
have only driven the Biblo further into
the affections of the world. The
chief danger is from tho mistaken
friends ot the Bible. Unbelief and
skepticism are not logical. But y<
have to take men as they are. The
revisionists begin their work by say
ing there sre in tie New Testament
tcring of the on-coming tempest of
popular indignation, cis-Allantic autLf {*
trans-Atlantic. Hands off iho Ark
ot the Covenant! Remember the
late ol Uzzah!
1 reject this new revision because
it opens the door for revisions itinum -
erabic. Have you auy idea that thi se
changes will stop here ? In the bark
part of this New Testament there
are twelve pages of practical protest
on the part of the Americans of the
New Testament Company against the
revision ot the Englishmen and Irish,
men ot the same company. Hence
we shall have another levision to re
vise this, and another revsion to re
vise that, and as, in 1824, Noah
Welisler published his revision of the
Bible, and Prof. Noyes, aud Moses
Stewart, and Bishop Ellicott, and
Dean Alford oflered their revision of
different portions ot the Scriptures,
so we shall have revision on top of re
vision, revisions in flocks, revisions in
herds, revisions in swarms, and after
a while Presbyterian revision, aud
Baptist revision, and Episcopalian re
vision, and the church will gostm-tf"*
paroxysm of revision, and there will
be nothing intelligent, satisfactory,
and appropriate left either in Bible
or prayer-book, but the ejaculation,
“Good Lord, deliver us!” These dis
coverers of 10,000 mistakes and the
135,000 different reading have actu
ally got hold of tho music of the an
gels over Bethlehem. Il those angels
had known that they were within
hearing distance of the New Testa
ment Company they would not have
sung so loud. Instead of the trans
lation which says, “Oil earth peace,
good will toward rueu,’’ it is to read,
“On earth peace among men, in whom
He is well pleased.” The rhythm
gone, the wide .sweep of meaning
gone, the Christmas carol choked till
it is black in the lace. Keep on,
brethren, while you have your hand
in, and give us a new revision of
Handel’s Messiah and Haydn’s Crea
tion, and chisel out a lew improve
ments on Powers’ Greek Slave, aud
touch up Angelo’s Last Judgmeut,
and improve the sunrise and the sun
set, and show us the florist of tiie
spring blossoming of last year, and
lei us have universal revision.
Meanwhile to private Christians let
me give a word of practical advice.
Hold to your pocket Bibles, your
lamily Bibles, your church Bibles.
Tho old Bible is good enough for me.
It has brought so many sons to gkry.
I am hoping through its teachings to
get safely there myself. The old Bible
is good enough for you. It you have
money that you want to spend in
augmenting your Scriptural know-
edge, do not spend it on this tnutila.
tion ot the Scriptures, - but purchase
Scott’s, or Clarke’s, or Barnes’, or
Jacobus's, or Alexander’s, or Bridge’s,
or Stuart’s, or French’s, or Plummer’s
Commentaries. Tho three hundred
million copies of King James’ trans
lation will soon vote down the four or
ten million of the new revision. Be
sides, it will take more than seventy-
nine revisionists to revise the meinevy
of whole generations of Bible readers.
The Bible, as yon r.ow quote it, wifi
be the Bible as quoted till the end of
time. The only -evision your Bible
will bear will be the'marks ot your
own lead pencils in the margin—stating
how certain passages have been illum
ined in your own solaced experience.
I should not wonder if upou some of
tho consolatory passages of the Old
Testament you wrote your own com
mentary, not with pen and ink, but
by the indelible signature of a tear.
Better than Gustave Do're’s illustra
tions ol the Scripture would be that
Bible illuminutinu. I also advise all
private Christians, all up and down
the earth and Sunday school parents,
and all ministers of the gospel who
have unterrifiud utterance, to be quick
and vehement in' their protest against
this scholarly profanation. Speak out
now, or forever hold your peace,
pray God that this excitement about
tlie new revision may wake us all up
to higher appreciation of that great
monarch of books, before which the
Iliads and tlie Odysseys, and the Ko
rans, and the Vedas, and the Sliasters,
and the Zend A vestas, and the national
libiaiies of earth must yet kneel. By
ita torch may we find our pathway to
the end of the pilgrimage, and on ita
pillow of gracious promises may we
drop off into the eai.n, cool, dreamless
slumber that wails lor the first resur
rection.

It is some year* since the death of Dr. E. N. Calhoun, a resident of Atlanta, Ga, and an eminent practicing physician well known through
out the South. In hia private practioo tor niuny years he used thv.su Bitters with wonderful success. They are now being manufacturedsolcly.by
Dr. Calhoun’s grandson, Mr. N. E. Williams. They will bo found a sure harmless and specific remedy for young when affiioted with what| is
commonly knowu as Green Sickness. They cleanse, p jnYy, and cause a froe circulation of the blood, open those obstructions to whioh Virgins
are limbic, and bring uaturo iuto herj>roper channel; l iving a healthy tone to the system, and converting the sickly, pale oomplexiou into one of
life and vigor. They are not a patent medicine, bat tn used extensively by many physicians in their private practice; and by experience have
beeu proven the best remedy ever discovered for Delayrd Menstruation, Palpitation ot the Heart, Giddiness, Pains in the Stomach aud Head,
Beatiug of the Arteries sud Neck. Sinking of the Spirits, etc. •'They will be lound an invaluable aid to those females who are about to expert* nee
a change of life, to prevent disorders which usually attend them at this time; by their immediate aud specific action on the bowels they curry off
mauy humorous substances whic'.i would otherwise enter tlie system aud cause untold misery and danger to those so affiicicd.
