    tmilcs of heaven , and the exclusive fa * ? our of the Almighty Ruler of the world . On the contrary , instead of the sunshine of joy , lo , disappointment and disgrace ; instead of happiness and plenty , lo , scarcity and general distress and calamity , staring us in the face ! instead of order ^ harmony and peace ,

    behold the demons of discord let loose upon the world , wading through rivers of blood , with pestilence and famine in their train , accompanied by death in all its frightful shapes of terror and dismay . € C How long shall we continue to feel the conflicts and commotions , which , like a volcano or an earthquake ,

    convulse and agitate the globe ? Shall Europe be a scene of perpetual hostility and carnage , of fluctuating and uncertain conquest , of reciprocal plunder and partition ? Shall the earth be deluged with the blood of its children , merely to gratify the lust of an unbounded rapacity , or the restless rage of a domineering ambition ? When , O cruel and relentless War ! when wilt thou cease

    to disturb and depopulate the world ? When will thy reeking sword return into its scabbard , satiated with blood ? When , O , thou enemy of the human race ! shall the widow and the orphan cease to deplore the husband and the father slain ? When shall we be able to say , Hitherto shalt thou go and no furtherhere shall thy ravages be stayed !** —Pp . 43 9—444 ;

    The British and Foreign Bible Society , whether we regard it * constitution or its object , is deserving , we think , of the patron . age of Christians of all denominations . Even from the received

    translation of the Scriptures , though , in the opinion of able and candid judges , it sometimes re . quires to be corrected , the seri - ous , unprejudiced reader may deduce the principles of faith and

    conduct . We know many persons who , by the divine blessing on their examination of it , have been led to an acquaintance with the simple " truth as it is in Jesu £ , " and however earnest are our wishes for a revisal of the authorized version , we cannot conscientiously decline our humble

    cooperation with the efforts that are nxaking to give the most extensive circulation possible , to a volume which , in every translation , contains the words of eternal life , and
