And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzziali and God smote him therefor his error.” The sacred chest of acacia wood called the Ark of the Covenant, about four feel by two, golden-lid- ded, golden-hinged and mounted on two cherubim and made to con tain the divine covenant, and at one time holding'the bowl of wilderness manna aud Aaron’* rod that bud ded, was tbe most sacred box ever created. It was in the presence ef that c’-est God commuued with the I-raelitcs. Improperly to touch that box was death. Ail the' peo ple understood it. On ono occasion dfty 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 on a cart drawn by oxen. Now, oxen are an uncer tain t«ain, especially when on a hot day they come near a shadow, for without reference to tbe 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 some sud den start and tho box rocked, and Uzziab, tho driver,(put his hand upon it. He had no business to >oucb it under any circumstances. Under the Judgment of God this driver dropped by the cart wheels That box long ago perished, for it was oonfltgraut with the ancient temple.

Wc are in the midst of a great ag. Ration consequent npou the new re vision of the Scriptures. We had a transition two hundred and seventy-six years old embossomed in tlie warmest affections of all tbe god of earth, interlocked with the best secular literature and pro- nounced b/ the Daniel Websters aud tbe Washington Irviugs as tho masterpiece of English prose, the translat'on at once blessed and rev olutionizing the nations for good, aud all Christendom satisfied with the translation except a few doctors of divinity. But two* Companies, an Old Testament Company and a New Testament Company, hare been busy for ten years changing the book, and a' few days ago the Testament Company launched the results of their labors upon tbe world. After great universal ad vertisement of the intended book and tbe dramatic withholding of tlie book till a certain day, and then withholding it tills still farther dav, tbe work cornea forth. The English printing press keeps a tight grip ou the copyright, and when one American publishing boose of fered a large snm for the privilege of reproducing the book simnlta- iwonsi v, the English presses rejected the ofler in cavalier aud abrupt strle. This severe copyright was not. to meet the expenses of tbe re vision, for that waa met by private subscription, the $30,000 subscribed on this side the sea for traveling ex penses being a small part of the moneys contributed by benevolent men. Two million copies are sold in two days. Wbal a compliment lo the Scriptures! Yea, but be not deceived. Did tbe two thillion peo ple suddenly became passionately fond of Scrlptnre-readlng? No. tse two million Bib es went into sea where the Bibles was already enthroned. All those of us who honored the book wanted to know what them men had been doing with our favorite for ten years. Had we a statue.in Yew York City Hail Park that bad been the pride of the in since its foundation, and vast cx- rty-oight men for ten years had been busy under cover changing that statue, ou the morn ing the cover dropped and tho changes should be revealed, there would bees room in the streets and squares approximate to hold the spectators. Iu addition to this gen eral curiosity, which wc a’l felt about tbe Iconoclasm of parts of our ion lias been attempted and who look upon it as a desecration and a profanation and a mutilation and a religions outrage. That last senti ment will come up like the surges .of tbe Atlantic after a tempest often days. I shall give you my reasons for rejecting ;his new revision of the Bcriptnres. I am willing to take it aa a commentary aud to stand it respectfully on ioy book shelf behind any other human opin ions of the Word ofGod. But to put it upon inv private stand, or in my family room, or on the pulpit, aa a substitute for King James’ translation, l never will. I put un hand on the old.book and take the oath et allegiance. So help me God! I am glad to know that Lord Shaft esbury aud Arcbnisbop of York, and many other strong men on the other aide of the sea, are anti-revis ionist*. But, supportedby high au thority or no authority, I here and now take my stand. These fifty men, for ten yearshnsv in tinkering the New Testament, agree in the statement that they find no new doctrine. Differing on many other things, they all agree here. If ithad been found that the old translation was leaching auy falso ideas of God or the soul or the future, I would say by all means 5 ve us a new revision, and put rth immediate and mightiest ef forts for tho organized obliteration otAhe old translation. Tbe world cannot afford to have wrong notions of God and tho son! and eternity. But the new version keeps all tlie old doctrines. Then what good reason could there be for this dis turbance of sacred association, this loosening of the faith of Christen dom. It is too late to reconstruct the Bible. When King James’ trans lation was made, tbe Bible was a sparsely circulated book, and the changes made caused no wide per turbation. But this revision of 1881 million copies of the Bible ont in tbe world, and doing their work. It assails the magnificent liturgy of the Episcopal Church, and makes all her prayer books vast inaccura cies. It makes the inscriptions on the graves of your dead untrue. It reflects upon th* old family Bible, and to tbe uninitiated leaves noth ing about it certain save tbe record of marriages and births and deaths. If this new revision succeed, forthe next few years yon will have to f ratcli vour children's evening offer- ngsnfthe Lord's Prayer and jerk them tip short before they run over the "evil W important part or the old translation. We ail want to know whir the chapter is about before we begiu to read it. I reject tlie new version for its amazing triviality. You have more control over your sense of the ridic ulous than I have, if von can read without a smile some of the changes made or proposed. You remember Christs sermon, where he speaks of the inaptitude of putting new wine into old bottles. In onr revision of 18SI il is rendered: “No men pat- tetli new wine into old wine-skins, else the wine will bant tlie skins, and the wine perisbeth and the skins. But they put new wine into fresh wine-skins.” The change is evi dently made to show that the hot ties of olden time were made ont of the skins of animals, but is it not just as easy to explain the bottles to the people os to explain the wine skins? “Show me a penny,’! said Christ, wishing from the kingly stamp on it to illustrate iu earthly currency. That will not do, say tho revisionists. Instead of “Show me a penny,” “show me a denarions.” Tlie revision changes tbs “beasts” of Bevelation into “living crea tures.” But will yon not have to explain the living creatures aa well as the beasts? Tho old translation was too much for the delicacy of the American part of tbe New Testa ment Company. Where it says of Simon Peter, “He girt his coat about him, for he was naked," the American Committee suggests that it should read iu the margin, “Had on his undergarment only.” The old translation said: “Neither do men light a candle and pot it under a bushel, but on a candlestick.” Tbe revisers reject “candlestick” for “stand." The new revision mates other changes, ol how little Import ance judgo ye, when it says that the old translation which reads, “into a mountain" ought to be “into tbe mountainwhere the old transla tion says “into m ship," it onght to be “the ship,"and instead of a fight, it ought to be the good and instead of “a crown of right- eoiisness,”it ocgbtto be “the crown of rigbteonsnes*;” and instead of “a bushel,” “the bushel;” and in stead of “cohered with waves,” it ought to read “becoming covered ? and instead of “nets brake,” it onght to read “were breaking f and in stead of “straining at a gnat,’’ it ought to be “straining out a gnat;’’ and other infinitesimals of differ ence with which I shall not worry vour patience. Thirty-eight men for ten year* bant for inaccuracies, and all tbia only a foretaste of what we shall have when, after three years more labor, tbe forty-one inembers of the Old Testament Com pany will lanueh their work. I have sometimes wondered what the thirty-eight gentlemen of tbe New Testament Company and forty-one gentlcmeu of the Old Testament Compauv might have accomplished for good if they had apeut the I'm* devil take these statistic! which you :au manage without damage to | yourself, and he makes them the, ••rcrlnsting min of a great mnlli-l tuile. This movement will turn mute souls Into stark infidelity than the thirty-eight gentlemen of. the Xew Testament Company will ever argue out of it, though they should live tbe eight hundred and ninety- lire years of Mahalaleel, the nine hundred and sixty-two years of Jared, and tbe nine hundred and alxty-nlae yean of Methuselah ag gregated The greatest work of the last two hundred years has been-to have tho people understand that this was the word of God, ’be truth, the srholc truth, and nothing but the truth. And now you say there are only ten thousand mistakes in it. and only abont one hundred and thirty-fire thousand reading's, and forty changes to be made in the Ser mon on the Mount. Yon say they are not radical mistakes. Wh then, all tbia excitement of the pui lie mind?

' In matters of religious occnracy it means chaos andoldnigbt. Who undercook this impertinence on tbe other side ol the sea? I know not the qualifica tions of the Archbishops and the Archdeacons and the Prolessors who have done tlie work on the other side of tiie Atlantic. I under stand that many of them are far from being the best scholars of Great Britain. I know that men Willi great titles arc often tbe mer est accidents, aud their high office no sigu of scltolardtip, D. D., L.LD. F. B. S.are often the heavy baggage of a very slow train. I only judge them by this revision. It is’ pedau tic aud. capricious and false to the principle which they declared at the outset would guide them—namely, that they would make no unneces sary change. Aa to tho work done by the American revisionists, I have this to say: One gentleman.here takes the responsibility of choosing a group of American scholars to re vise the New Testament. The gen tleman taking this responsibility, having been born and educated in a foreign land, was not especially adapted to make wise selections among American scholars. This gentleman, in making the selection, derided the livingaud dead genera tions of Bible readers by saying and reiterating: “The Christian people for years have been drinking tbe water ol life from the jaw-bone of a royal ass.” This gontleman selects of scholars to revise the new put Into Society and the British Bible Socie ty for the spreading abroad of that old translation, out of whose Ioina civilization and Christianity were born, and under whose influence England and America are what they ere, and tbe dark skies of heathendom begin to flame with the morning. What the world wants is not erilies, but evangels; not men to knock the doxology out of the Lord’s prayer, but men to make the nations kneel, proclaiming at tbe feet of Christ, “Thine la the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” At the open ing of the service to-day I led yoa in the Lord’a prayer according to the new version, stopping before the doxology, but 1 will never do it again either in public or private nn- lcss 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 prarer appropriate for both church militant and church triumphant. I reject this revision because it comes at a most inopportune date. The great battle between sin and righteousness la fully open and all the bat'cries unlimbercd. While the forces of baxven and hell are in hand-to-band fight it is asked that we stop to discuss whether our weapons might not he hammered into'alittle better shape; whether we can’t have a better tassel put on the hilt ol our sword, since they make better tassels now than they subject and they will be heard, and this is only tho mattering of tbe oneomiDg tempest or popular indignation, cis- Atlantie and trans-Atlantic. Hands off the Ark of the Covenant I Be- member the fate ot Uzzah. I reject this new version because it opus the door for revision* innu merable. Have yon any Idea that these changes will atop here? Iu tho back part of this new New Tes tament there are twelvo pages of practical proles: on the part of the Americana of the New Testament Company against tbe revision of the Englishmen and Irishmen of the Company. Hence we shall anotbor revision to rcvlso this, and another revision to revise that, and as in 1823 Noah Webster published his revision of the Bible, and Prof. Noyes and Moses Stuart and Bishop Ellicott and Deacon Alford offered their revision of different portions of the Scripture, so we shall have Tision on Ute top of revision—revis ion in flocks, revision in herds, revis ion in swarms, and after awhile Presbyterian revision and Baptist revision and Episcopalian revision, end tbe Church wilt go into parox- ysmi of revision, and there will be and -• -t, «• o or Prayer book bnt the ejaculation: “Good Lord, deliver us l’’ These discoverers of len thousand mistakes and tbe one hnndredand thirty-five thousand different reading hare ac tually got bold of the music of tbe angels over'Bethlehem. If those angels had known that thsy were within hearing -distance of tbe New Testament Company they would not have tug so load. Instead of tbe translation which says, “On earth peace, good will toward men,” it is to read, “On earth peace among wen in whom He is well pleased.” The rhythm gone, the wide sweep of meaning gone, and the Christmas carol choked till it 1* black In the face. Keep on, brethren, while yon have your hand In, and give ns a revision of Handel’s “Messiah" and Haydn’a “Creation,” and cblaal out a few improvements on Powers’ Greek Slave, aud toneb up Angelo’s Last Judgment, and improve tbe ennrlse and snnset, and show us the aorisl of the spring blossoming of last year, and let us have nnivcrsal revision. Meanwhile to private Christiana let me give a word of practical ad- vice. Hold on to your pocket BI- hies, your ' flunlly Bibles, yonr church Bibles. The old Bible goodenoughforme. It hasbro so many sons to glory. Iam Is wrought hoping throngs the teachings to go get safe ly there myself. The old Bible it good enough for yon. If yon hare money that yon want to spend In augmenting your Scriptural knowl edge, don’t spend it on this mutila tion of the Scriptures, but purchase Scott’s or Clarke’s or Barne’s or Al exander’s or Bridge’s or Stuart’s or French’s or Plummer’s Commenta ries. Tho three hundred million cooles of King James’ translation will soon vote down the four or ten million of the revision. Besides it will take more than seventy-nine re visionists to reviso the memory of whole generations of Bible readers. The Bible as yon now quote it will be the Bible as quoted to the end of time. The only revision your Bible will bear will be tbe marks of your own lend pencils 'in the margin, slating bow certain passages have been illumined in your own solaced experience. I should not wonder If npon some of the consolatory pas sages of the Old Testament you wrote your own commentary, not with pen and ink, but by the signa ture of a tear. Better than Gustave Dore's illustrations of the Scripture would bo that Bible illumination. I also advise all private Christians, all up and down tbe earth, and Suu- dsy-.chool parents, and all minis ters of tho Gospel who have unterrl- fled utttorance, to be quick and ve hement in tbelr protest against this scholarly profanation. Speak out now, or forever hold your peace. I pray God that this excitement about tho new revision that may wake ui all up to higher appreciation of that GoaSeaniFnathel A few weeks ago the people of many communities in Colorado were made angry by the escape of the no torious bighwavraen. Billy Le Boy, from Deputy Marshal Cantril, ou the Kansas Pacific express. Tlie story of tbe escape, as printed at the rime, waa that Le Poy** sweetheart had planned her lover's release, and that she had successfully bewitched the Deputy Marshal. The true story at related by tbe baodit to Dr. Flournoy, of Del Norte, It a* fol lows : Le Roy carried about his person's tiny key, made from a watch spring, men Le was strip ped and searched on tbe morning of bis departure for Detroit he ed the skin of hi* neck and placed the key in tbe crease. His month was opened, hit hair brushed, and hla ears examined, but tbe key es caped tbe notice of the searchers, men the train was running at ter rific speed Cantril left hit prisoner, shackled hand and foot, and step ped to Ute toilet room. “In two seconds.” said the bandit to Dr. Flournoy, “I bad my hands free, and in another second my feet also. All the passengers in the car, except one lady, were either nodding -or half asleep. I knew how tb settle the lady. I just gave her one—of a look, ran to the platfoim and jump ed off I was stunned, bnt came to In a little and got away. war jimmy resigned. Several days passed after Le Roy’s escape, and the people hoped that be had gone to some other cor ner of the world. On the night of the IStht in*L the tlnwu stage for Del Norta passed the lower corner ol Franklin's ranch, when from one side of the dark highway there arose a demand to halt. The quick movements of the robbers frighten ed the coach banes. Old Jimmy (so he it called) waa driving, and he had terrible work lo control the horses, though be did his best. The robbers, mistaking tbe runaway for a deliberate attempt on the part of the driver - to evade their clutches, fired a volley into tbe fast (fleeing coach. One of these ihots passed through a man’s hat who sat on the b ix with Jimmy and took off one of bia locks of hair. “Let’s go back and snrrander, said Jimmy; “if we don’t they'll kill me next time.” “For Gok's sake don’t go back, ileaded a passenger, “for I have 1700 right on mo now, and I’ll loso the wholo of It.” So Jimmy put lash to his horses ami the coach got away as quickly as possiblo. Then Jimmy resigned. He did not propose to he killed in any such manner. He knew that the bandits wero none other thau Billy Le Roy and bis partner. - - "THE LITTLE TELLOW.” heard from lost D-iNDlT. they got bint out at last, and found that the whole of bis calf had been scooped out hv the bullet.

HANGED. - * Del Norte was cr.izy over th* cap ture. “The people were' wild," said General R. A. Cameron, who happened to be in the place; “ths streets were like bo many hives of mtd bees.” The Sheriff locked the two prisoners in tbe rear cells ot tho strong jail and a committee ol in fluential citizens was appointed to act as guard for the night. About ten o’clock tho Sheriff stepped across the way oo business. He was soiled, locked in a room, and kept tinder guard. Everything was qqiet. Apparently, everybody had gone to bed. At eleven o’clock a party rode 1 up to the jail door and knocked. Tbe guard asked what was wanted. “This is your relief; walk ont.” The guard walked, ont and were seized and bound, one by one. The party then went directly to the celts where Le Roy and Pot ter were, took them out, gagged them aud left the jail with the pris oners. Not a word waa spoken. At twclvb o’clock, midnight, a man rapped at Coroner Hollands house. Holland pat bis head ont at tbe window. “Halloo 1” amid he. “There’s two men hanging on a tree near the rirer.” “What?” ‘That’s what I said; and, by the way, it’s very curious, but 1 found the keys of the jail just up tho street. Here they are." The stranger tossed the keys in at the window and walked away. The Coroner went to the river and cut down the dead bodies, which were those of Le Boy and Potter. The uext day the Coroner’s jury render ed a verdict exonerating ail con cerned in the affair. As the dead bodies were stretch ed side by side many persons re marked npon the close resemblance. Upon Le Boy’s rigid arm were tat tooed the letters "JP P,” and upon Potter’s right arm tbe letters “S. P.’’ Le Roy’s real name was Arthur Pond, aud Potter’s real name Sam uel Pond, and tho dead men were brothers. Lo Roy waa next; Wednesday nlgbtiwhen tho stage waa ascending tbe hiK about three miles from Antelope Springs and abont a mils and a hair from the Tho hill is very steep, add It was while the ascent was being made that tbe agents jumped from tbelr concealment and fired a vol ley of bullets into tbe passing vehi cle. Onef othe bullets took effect In the leg of Engineer Bartlett, of theDenvtrand Bio Grande Road, striking him in the fleshy part. Tho ball struck a ai’vsr dollar in Bart lett’s pocket and sent the dollar into the flesh, then glanced and went through the leg and oat. The silrer piece protected the femoral artery end saved Bartlett's life. Bartlett says there were three men In this party, and that one of them waa a little tellow, said to tbe big matt of the crowd: “—yoa, get on the other aide, there, and ’tend to business.” The little fellow pulled bis self-acting British bulldog and climbed up on the wheel. He jointed the muzzle at Bartlett's !ad and remarked ; “1 am going through yon; hold npyonr hands.” The operation reqalred bn: a short time. Money and watch soon paved into the deft fingers of the road agent. It became neccssary to get into the pocket nearest tbe wound. “Yon are hurting my leg very mach,’’ mildly protested the victim. “Well, you, you can stand It,” was the reply. The front boot was then cleared of mall, and the rear one being empty, tho driver was told to go, and that “ quick.” Tbe inside passengers were not dis turbed. The robbers were evident ly nervous, for it was early in the evening—8 •30. The “little fellow” waa Le Roy himself. CXtOBT.
