Papal and Protestant Bible.

By John Norton Loughborough

The papists say, “We do not object to the Bible, but to the Protestant version; for it is a corrupt translation.” When Bishop Hughes objected to the use of the Bible in the schools of the State of New York, he said: “We do not object to the Bible in the public schools; we object to the Protestant version of it.” When it was proposed to introduce the Douay version for the use of the Catholic children, Bishop Hughes was the first to object.

We are not ready to admit the charge that King James’ version is simply a Protestant translation. “The work was begun by Wickliffe when he was in full communion in the Romish church. It was continued by Tyndale, Coverdale, Matthew, and others, in the same Romish church. It was printed, published, and circulated, by the authority of a Romish king. This translation was taken as the basis of the translation issued under King James. So this translation of the Bible which we read to you every Sabbath, is not a Protestant translation at all, but simply the English, and of such perfect freedom from anything sectarian, as between Romanism and Protestantism, that the learned Dr. Alexander Geddes, an ecclesiastic of the Romish church, called it ‘of all versions the most excellent for accuracy, fidelity, and the strictest attention to the letter of the text.’

Eminent Roman Catholic bishops have borne witness to the excellence of King James’ translation. The late Dr. Doyle, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, is called “one of the ablest and wisest of Roman Catholic prelates.” In 1825 he was examined before a Committee of the House of Lords. Among other questions, he was asked, “Do you consider the authorized version of the Scriptures used in the church of England as of sufficiently perverse quality to warrant the description that it is the gospel of the devil?” He replied, “I have said before, God forbid that I should so consider it; for, though it has many errors, I consider it as one of the noblest works, and one of the ablest translations that has ever been produced.”

The Roman Catholic archbishop of Baltimore, Dr. Hendric, in 1831, published a revised translation of the New Testament. In his introduction he alludes to the Protestant translation in these words: “In adopting occasionally the words and phrases of the Protestant version, I have followed the example of others who have from time to time revised the Rhemish translation. It is not to be regretted that whilst we point to errors that need correction we acknowledge excellencies which we are free to imitate, thus diminishing the asperity of censure by the tribute which we willingly render to literary merit.”

We will give one more testimony of this character. It is that of a pervert to the Romish faith, John Henry Newman. In the Dublin Review of June, 1853, he says: “Who will not say that the uncommon beauty and marvelous English of the Protestant Bible is not one of the strongholds of heresy in England? It lives on the ear like music that can never be forgotten—like the sound of church bells which a convert hardly knows how he can forego. Its felicities seem often to be almost things, rather than mere words. It is a part of the national mind, and the anchor of the national seriousness. The memory of the dead passes into it. The potent traditions of childhood are stereotyped in its verses. The power of all the griefs and trials of a man is hidden beneath its words. It is the representative of his best moments, and all that there has been about him of soft and gentle, and pure and penitent and good, speaks to him forever out of his English Bible. It is his sacred thing, which doubt has never dimmed, and controversy never soiled. It has been to him all along the silent, but oh! how intelligible, voice of his guardian angel; and in the length and breadth of the land there is not a Protestant with one spark of religiousness about him whose spiritual biography is not in his Saxon Bible.”

The common assertion of Catholics is that their translation of the Bible is an infallible one, and the one Protestants use is a corrupt one. But let us look at the two. King James’ version of the Bible has been before the world more than 250 years. During all that time it has remained unchanged; not so the Douay, or Roman Catholic version of the Scriptures. The earlier editions of the Douay, published at the beginning of the seventeenth century, had in many passages such a Latin English garb that it was scarcely intelligible to ordinary English readers. Without going back to these, on comparing the edition published at the commencement of the present century with the present edition, and then comparing these two with the Protestant Bible, we find more difference between the Roman Catholic editions of the Bible than between the present Douay and the Protestant Bible. Isaac Buck, M. A., says: “In the Gospel of St. Matthew alone, you will find about 1500 variations between the earlier and later editions of the Douay; of these corrections, 1200, including all the most important, agree word for word with the Protestant Bible.”

We will give a few illustrations of the changes that have been made. In the earlier editions of the Douay Bible, Luke 2:10, reads, “I evangelize you.” The foot note attacks, at some length, the Protestant translation, “I bring you good tidings.” In the last edition of the Douay the text reads, “I bring you good tidings.” In Gal. 5:21, 22, the Douay used to read, “ebrieties,” “commessations,” and “longanimity.” Now it reads the same as the Protestant Bible, “drunkenness,” “revellings,” and “long-suffering.” In Heb. 9:23, it formerly read, “The exemplars of the celestials.” Now it reads as the Protestant Bible, “The patterns of heavenly things.” Heb. 13:16, used to read in the Douay, “Beneficences and communication do not forget, for with such hosts God is promerited.” Their present translation reads, “And do not forget to do good, and to impart; for by such sacrifices God’s favor is obtained”—very nearly the same as our Bible.

In many other instances, where the text is unchanged, they have given the Protestant translation in their foot notes to explain the text. We will give a few instances illustrative of this. In Matt. 6:11, the present edition of the Douay Bible reads, “Give us this day our supersubstantial bread.” The note says, “In St. Luke the same word is rendered daily bread,” agreeing with the Protestant translation. In Matt. 26:17, “the first day of Azymes” is called, in the note, “the feast of unleavened bread,” the same as in the Protestant Bible. Luke 23:24, reads, “It was the day of Parasceve,” that is, according to the note, a day “of preparation for the Sabbath,” the same as the text in the Protestant Bible. In Gal. 3:24, we read, “The law was our pedagogue,” that is, says the note, “schoolmaster.” So reads King James’ version.

The Douay Bible is only a translation from the Latin Vulgate; so it is only a translation of a translation. The Council of Trent declared that the Latin Vulgate was “the only authentic authority for the Roman Catholic church.” This Latin Vulgate, adopted by the council of Trent, was the translation of Hieronymus, but when the translation first appeared, many complaints arose against its correctness, especially from St. Augustine. But if, as the Catholics claim, the decrees of councils are infallible, then the Vulgate, at the time of the Council of Trent, is infallible. But, behold, in the time of Sextus V., A. D. 1585, we have a new edition of the Vulgate, and, to correct the errors of the old edition, the new one was struck off in the printing office of the Vatican itself. Of this new edition Sextus said, “This new edition of the Vulgate which I present, without any doubt or controversy, is to be reputed and taken to be the only edition, which, being as well as was possible reformed, our will is, and we decree it to be read throughout the Christian world.” Gavazzi, after quoting these words, says, “Mark, now, here we have from an infallible pope, an infallible Vulgate, reformed, and to be used as the only edition.”

We will see how this infallible edition of the Vulgate fares seven years later, when Pope Clement VIII. begins his reign. Gavazzi says of Clement VIII., “He issued a bull, stating that in the edition of Sextus V., called ‘reformed,’ he had found two thousand dangerous errors.” This statement is found in the preface to the edition of the Vulgate published by the authority of Clement VIII., where he says still further, “In this edition, as some things we expressly changed, so many others, purposely, we left unchanged.” So by the admission of their own pope, their present Vulgate is corrupted.

“Father Ungarelli, a great friend of Gregory XVI., . . . a few years ago wrote a book which was printed in Rome, revised by the Inquisition of Rome, approved by the master of the Sacred Palaces at Rome, in which book this monk stated . . . that he found in the present Vulgate not less than seven hundred and fifty capital errors.”

We will notice one of these fatal errors. Gen. 3:15, reads, “I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” The Douay reads, “She shall crush thy head.” The note says, she shall crush, ipsa, the woman; so divers of the fathers read in this place, conformably to the Latin.” Of this, Gavazzi says, “It is a little alteration indeed; it consists merely in changing e into a (ipsa instead of ipse); but by such an unimportant alteration the Virgin Mary became co-Redeemer, and the co-Mediator, and then deserving of particular worship.”

I will notice another instance, in which they seem to have allowed the peculiar doctrine of their church to influence their translation. The Greek word metanoia signifies, according to Robinson, “change of mind or purpose, repentance,” and thus points to an inward change. The Douay translators have rendered this word “penance,” which points to an outward act. This word metanoia occurs twenty-four times in the New Testament; eighteen times they have rendered it “penance,” twice they have omitted the word, and in four instances, where they could not avoid it, they have translated it “repentance.” As an example, see Heb. 12:17, speaking of Esau, “He found no place of repentance.” It would not sound well for them to say, “Esau found no place to do penance.” In translating the word metanoia by the word repentance four times, they tacitly admit that which is indeed the true meaning of the word.

The papists claim that their church is the only church that existed through the dark Middle Ages, and therefore it was the exclusive guardian of the Holy Scriptures, and that Protestants have received the Scriptures from the Romish church. On this point Kirwan says: “The Scriptures, as we possess them, existed before the rise of your church—before a general council ever commenced—before a declaration was ever made by a council as to the canon of Scripture.” Rev. Isaac Brock says, “But I am not prepared to admit that through the Middle Ages the Roman church was the exclusive guardian of the Holy Scriptures. Through the greater portion of those ages there were several independent churches in Western Europe in which the Scriptures were preserved. And throughout that entire period there were large branches of the church in Eastern Europe and Western Asia that never owned the sway of the Bishop of Rome; and to this day, these ancient churches of the East protest as strongly as we do against the arrogant claims of the pope. Some, indeed, of our most valuable MSS. of the Scriptures come to us from the churches of the far East.”

Sabbaths as Islands of Rest

SABBATHS—coming to quiet, for a little while, all the week-day toil, noise and strife of life—are like islands, green, fruitful, and flower-laden, smiling at one from the midst of wild ocean and storm-tossed waves—oases in the sand deserts, with cooling shades and pure water-springs for the tired traveler.

ANYWHERE

By Sel.

Any little corner, Lord, In thy vineyard wide, Where thou bidst me work for thee, There would I abide; Miracle of saving grace That thou givest me a place Anywhere.

Where we pitch our nightly tent, Surely matters not; If the day for thee is spent Blessed is the spot; Quickly we the tent may fold, Cheerful march through storm and cold, With thy care.

All along the wilderness Let us keep our sight On the moving pillar fixed, Constant day and night; Then the heart will make its home, Willing, led by thee, to roam, Anywhere.

—Sel.

Very comforting words by Eld. Bennet, pastor of the Christian church, from Luke 24:34. F. W. MORSE.

The Wisconsin Camp-Meeting.

By E. O. Hammond

It has been decided that our next camp-meeting will be held at Lodi, Columbia Co., commencing June 18. It is expected there will be a general rally of the friends of the cause from all parts of the Conference. These meetings are mainly for the benefit of the churches, that the bond of union may be strengthened among them, that they may have a mutual understanding of the magnitude and importance of the work, and that they may leave home cares for a few days for the special purpose of getting very near to God. Our camp-meetings are attended with a great deal of labor and expense, and are of the utmost importance to the people of God. In order to get the benefit of them, the brethren and sisters must attend. Worldly considerations should not keep them at home.

I knew a brother who was in debt, and thought his time should all be occupied in accumulating means to pay his just obligations. He therefore remained at home to sow his fall grain, which was afterward killed by the frosts of winter, and he lost not only the inestimable blessing of God, but also in a pecuniary point of view.

Another brother on one occasion thought his call was to the hay field instead of the camp-meeting; so he spent the day he should have started to meeting with his mower, cutting down his grass. But the rain came on, and at the close of camp-meeting week he found himself, not only barren of the Spirit of God, but his hay was greatly injured, and his work not much farther advanced than it would have been if he had spent his time with the people of God, seeking his precious blessing.

Nine-tenths of the excuses the brethren make to justify themselves in staying away are the result of unbelief in the providence of God. If we do meet with a few dollars’ loss for the time being, we should remember that the Lord is able to give us ten times as much, and he certainly will if it is for the best. Let the brethren, far and near, throughout the Conference, make up their minds early in the season that nothing but providential hindrances will keep them from attending this yearly feast, and set themselves to making the necessary preparations, such as procuring tents and arranging their temporal affairs so they can leave home. Better hire some one to look after our growing crops in our absence than stay at home and lose the blessing of God.

But the most important of all is a preparation of heart. We must be at peace, not only among ourselves, but with all men. If we cherish envy, jealousy, or hatred, in our hearts toward any of our fellow-men, the gentle Spirit of God will be grieved away from us, and a channel be opened for Satan to approach us and control our minds. Let us begin the work of self-examination at once. As we value the blessing of God and eternal life, let us not go up to this meeting with any known duty left undone; but let us go with teachable, inquiring minds and tender hearts, that Jesus may come in and sup with us, and we with him.

Missouri and Kansas Camp-Meeting.

This meeting is to be at Lee’s Summit, Jackson Co., Mo., May 28 to June 2. The grounds are situated about one mile N. E. of the depot in Mr. Smart’s grove.

This is central in our Conference and of easy access, on the Mo. Pacific R. R., some twenty miles S. E. from Kansas City; it also affords favorable opportunity for our young churches to attend which were brought out during the past season.

Let all come prepared to take care of themselves, with necessary bedding, tents, &c. Those who cannot provide themselves better, heavy muslin cut in strips 12 yds. long, sewed together, makes cheap tents, and the cloth can be used for other purposes afterward.

The Committee will see to it that the grounds are fitted up and prepared. Straw for bedding will be furnished free. Provision and horse feed will be furnished on the ground, at the most reasonable prices.

Now, brethren and sisters, prepare to come and bring your children and friends with you. Come prepared to seek God, and advance the interest of his cause. It may be the only chance many of you will have to hear preaching and meet with our people, for a considerable time, and our best speakers are expected. We here extend a hearty invitation to Bro. and sister White to meet with us in our camp-meeting. In behalf of the Committee, J. H. ROGERS.

Missouri and Kansas Conference.

The fifth annual session of the Missouri and Kansas Conference of S. D. Adventists will be held in connection with the camp-meeting at Lee’s Summit, Mo., May 28 to June 2, 1874.

Let all the churches in our Conference see to it at once and have their reports and delegates ready in due time, so all will be represented. It is very desirable that delegates from all the churches attend, if they can possibly do so.

While it is true that we need means in this large, but weak, Conference, it is also true we need men as workers, to co-operate, to counsel, and to do all we can to push forward this most important work. Please read again Bro. White’s article, “The Cause Is Onward,” in the last REVIEW.

I know some will plead poverty, pressure of the times, &c., but we need not look for the rich nor men of this world to go forward in giving the last merciful message of warning to mankind. J. H. ROGERS, Pres. Mo. & Kan. Conf.

Northern Pacific Mission.

By James White

We have heard from Bro. and sister Van Horn at Dallas City, Washington Territory, one hundred miles up the Columbia River above Portland, Oregon. While detained at Dallas City one week or more on account of low water, Bro. Van Horn spoke in the Methodist chapel, and was being pressed to speak in the Baptist chapel. The people were hearing with deep interest.

The missionaries are doubtless among the friends at Walla Walla at work before this date. A lively interest will be felt in this mission by our people everywhere. We ship a $200 box of books from San Francisco to Wallula, Wash. Ter., the 17th. Last evening we received two responses to our call for $1000 for this mission. One was from sister Bush, of Woodland, Cal., which must have been forwarded the day after receiving the REVIEW containing the call. The other was from five of the Kilgore family at Washington, Iowa, which was ordered as early as two days after receiving the REVIEW. We shall look for showers of just such responses right along. Should more than $1000 be received, the excess shall be applied on the Swedish monthly, and tracts in that language. Please remit in drafts on New York, or in Money Orders, and direct to Santa Rosa, Sonoma Co., Cal.

The amount received up to this date for the Northern Pacific Mission.

Dealing with Tobacco-users.

By John Nevins Andrews

THE Seventh-day Advent churches are able to keep clear of tobacco by receiving none as members who use it, and by allowing none to remain as members who take up its use. This plan has proved a success in keeping out tobacco, and we have probably seen more persons converted from its use than has any other denomination, or perhaps than have all denominations in this country. The Methodists work on a different plan, the success of which is shown in the following which I cut from the N. Y. semi-weekly Tribune of April 15, 1873:—

“At the Wyoming Annual Conference of the Methodist Church at Waverly in this State, the Committee on temperance reported a resolution declaring the habitual use of tobacco to be a sin and a shame. Some of the brethren who used the weed had no objection to its being called a shame, but protested against its being denounced as a sin, and after a warm discussion it was referred back to the Committee for amendment. The Committee then reported a resolution to the effect that ‘the habit of using tobacco by the ministry is wholly and necessarily intolerable and inexcusable.’ This brought out one of the clergy, who moved to strike out the word ‘ministry,’ as he insisted ‘we’ve as good a right to use tobacco as any living men.’ So, finally, the Conference resolved that it gladly recognized the fact that a more healthful sentiment is prevailing with regard to the use of tobacco, and recommended all to abstain from the use of the same, and to discountenance its use by all proper and legitimate means. This leaves the laity at liberty to chew and smoke, and only recommends the clergy to taper off.”

Shall Indiana Have Another Tent?

By Wm. Covert

I APPEAL to the friends in Indiana to know if we shall run two tents in this Conference the coming campaign. Two tents can be manned and supported in the field this summer, and we should see that this is done. The second tent is necessary that the licentiates may have a chance to labor to the best advantage in the field during tent season. We think a forty-foot tent will be large enough. It will cost about $300.00. Let the leaders in the churches see the friends immediately and take their pledges and send to me at Sharpsville, Tipton Co., Ind. Those who can do so will pay pledges the 20th of May. Those who cannot, can have till the 20th of July.

Will the scattered brethren please respond at once? Friends, be expeditious, as the time is advancing. Time is short. Let us be ready to start with the season.
