The only Paper piihlldlied on the Macon Si
Brunxvrlrk HaDritad between
Brunswick and Rutman.
THE BIBLE.
On Monday evening Dr Ginsburg,
one of the members of the committee
engaged in the revision of the Scrip
ture, delivered a lecture at the Town
Hall, NVorkinghatn, on “The Bible—
the Manner in which it has been Pre
served, Transmitted and Copies Mul
tiplied.” The lecture was illustrated
by ancient manuscripts and old edi
tions of the Bible There was a large
attendance Mr. Walter, M. P., pre
sided, and in introducing the lecturer
said no subject could be of greater in
terest to an assembly of Christian peo
ple than the history of the ways and
means by which the contents of that
sacred volume which was so precious
in their eyes had been banded dowD
to them from ancient times, and had
been transmitted in their present
form for their use and comfort. Dr.
Ginsburg, in the course of his lecture,
explained that the earliest records of
Scripture were written od stone, and
that previous to the existence of
parchment manuscripts they were in
scribed upon the barks of trees or
upon rolls made from ths peel of the
papyrus. In many cases the records
consisted of pictures ; for instance, in
the book of Bather the ten sons of Ha
mon were represented as being hung
up with their father in the manner
described in the Old Testament, or as
in the book of Kings, where all the
battles recorded there were exhibited
in pictorial form. A tabulated state
ment was placed against every line of
the text in the old records, showing
how many times a certain letter, word
or phrase, occurred ; this was sum
marized at the end of every page,
again at the end of every thirty-two
pages, and afterward at the end of
every book, and at the end of the
whole Bible the sum toial was given.
This would give some idea of the care
with which the Bible Las been guard
ed and preserved, and such a gigantic
work as lie had described could not,
be undertook to say, be accomplished
h y a dozen men if they lived for 500
years. Tho New Testament had not
been treated in this way at all. They
would not find anything of the kind
in the Codex Alcxaudrinus, which was
presented to King Charles, and was
now in the British Museum, or in the
codex of Sinaiaticus, of similar antiq
uity, which Ticbendorg found at the
co )vent of Sanai. The latter was now
1 1 St. Petersburg, and was the one
which the Emperor of Bussia had had
published and circulated to public li
braries and scholars.. Ho thought,
when they heard so* much about the
Emperor of Bussia, it was only due to
render him the greatest honor for the
reproduction of this cocb x and its dis
tribution ; and although they could
not compare the English with the
Bussian gov> rument, because the fir
mer bad the reputation of being or.e
of the most, if not tho most liberal
government in the world ; yet they
never fouud it doing anything of this
sort Having referred to the rapid
advance made in the circulation of the
Bible after printing was intioduced
the lecturer etaUd that at the time the
first Bible was printed by Gotteu
burg, a copy of which ho produced,
Roman Catholicism | revniled all over
Europe, and it was only' fair to say of
the Roman Catl olic Church that it
printed and circulated tho Scriptur< s
to a largo extent, and did not, ns was
misstated, endeavor to keep the B hle
from the people. Dr. Ginsburg told
some amusing facts com ectcd with
the preparation of the Authorized
Version, One of the editions which
King James I. declined to allow the
revisers to uso as a help, contained
marginal notes which he considered
heretical aud republican. The mar
ginal note to the piassnge in the epis
tle of St. Peters, “ Fear God and honor
the king,” was as follows: “ That de
pends upon circumstances; if the word
of tho king is in I armouy with the
word of God, obey the king; hut if ii
is contrary to the word of God, obey
God rather than the king.’’— London
'Jaimes, February 7.
1E AK S ANIT YEARS.
How long tho years seem when we
are young. To wait a year—a whole
year—for anything appeals to fifteen
like an interminable probation, Look
ing back when oue is fifty, a lifetime
seems scarcely longer than a twelve
month seemed in youth. As we grow
older the years between us and the
great unknown future are so few that
wo cau almost see their moments slip
ping away from us ns the sand drops
in an hour glass. Children have no
idea of ecouomizirg time. Time aud
eternity look to them 11 as one; there
is plenty of space in which to fly kites
aud dress dolls. The middle-aged man
flies his kite also, fallen s, dreams,
speculations, he calls them; and the
middle-aged woman dresses her dolls,
and is, perhaps, the greatest d-ll of all
herself; but the middle-aged take their
pleasure solemnly, but none the less
earnestly. The year 1-76 has goue
out and 1877 come in. It means fun
aud frolic; hope to one-half the world;
to the other half it means sadness, and
longing, and nituiory —at the Lies',
peace.
We can generally nil what a man is
going to do next, when he puts the
lighted end of a cigar io his mouth by
ailS'akc.
