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.
