Extract from the Syriac Testament.

By G. W. A.

But this know thou, that in the latter days hard times will come; and men will be lovers of themselves, and lovers of money, boasters, proud, censorious, unyielding toward their own people, deniers of grace, wicked, calumniators, addicted to concupiscence, ferocious, haters of the good, treacherous, rash, inflated, attached to pleasure more than to the love of God, having a form of respect for God, but wide from the power of God. Them who are such, repel from thee. 2 Tim. iii, 1–6.

The above portrait of the sins of Babylon, though sufficiently plain in our New Testament, seem to be much more emphatic and glaring in this translation.

G. W. A.
