to this work-knows something of the importance, and has felt the need, of such a comparison as is made in the following pages. The former works by Owen and Randolph on this subject, and the late one by Horne in his introduction to the Scriptures, have failed, both as to the matter and manner of accomplishing the object desired. They are not only incomplete, but so arranged and printed, that thorough comparison is either inconvenient or impossible. The present work is designed to supply what is lacking in them, and to comprise all that may be justly called direct quotations in the New Testament, and also the different modes in which these quotations are introduced. The subject, as every interpreter well knows, is replete with difficulties; and all that is aimed at here, is to lay before the inquirer the means of investigation, in the most convenient form in which they can be presented. The Lecture of Dr. Woods on Quotations, Surenhusius Βίβλος καταλλαγῆς, Junius' Parallela Sacra, and most of the commentators, will give aid to the inquirer respecting the modes of citing and applying the passages of the Old Testament by the writers of the New. Two hundred and fifty-six quotations from the Old Testament are exhibited in a manner, which admits of their instantaneous compari. son with the original Hebrew and the Septuagint version. The method in which the quotations are introduced, is also uniformly exhibited. Appended is a copious index of texts in the Old Testament, to which allusion is made in the New; by which it is made to appear more fully, to how great an extent the writers of the New Testament appealed to the Jewish Scriptures, and in what manner they used them.

PERMANENT FUND FOR TREASURER. Palestine Mission. BEYROOT. OBITUARY OF JACOB, AN ARMENIAN. IN the last number, p. 179, it was intimated that some account of a deceased Armenian convert had been transmitted by the missionaries at Beyroot to the Corresponding Secretary. Since the number for June was issued, this document has been received, and is here inserted. About two months ago, an Armenian, about twenty-three years of age, came to us. As he came from Constantinople, and as he had spent his whole life in attendance on the priests, we were suspicious of him, kept an eye upon his movements, and were careful not to be imposed upon by him. We had, however, much conversation with him on the doctrines of the Gospel; and Carabet and Wortabet very faithfully warned and exhorted him, read to him, and prayed with and for him. This young man is now dead. Three days before his death, he sent for me, (whom, during his whole sickness, he called his father;) and in the presence of several persons, gave the following account of himself. "I left Constantinople for no other purpose, than to find a true religion, if there was any in the world. I had my eye on the Catholic Armenians, thinking that, perhaps, the truth was with them; and thought to enter their convent on Mount Lebanon. Having first visited Jerusalem, I arrived at Sidon, and told Jacob Aga that I came seeking after the truth. He told me he was afraid that I was sent to poison or betray him, and therefore did not choose to have me about him in the capacity of a servant. But he conversed with me, read to me the Gospel, and recommended to me to come to Beyroot for further instruction. VOL. XXIII. "On my arrival here, I went first to a Catholic Armenian family, the members of which treated me with the greatest attention and kindness, told me there was no salvation for those, who did not acknowledge the pope as the infallible head of the church, and congratulated me on the prospect of my being soon in the way of eternal life. They charged me not to come nigh the accursed infidels; (i. c. the protestants,) and sent, of their own accord, to the convent, a day's distance upon the mountain, to give information of my arrival. "I determined, however, to see the protestants, concerning whom so much was said, and to learn something of their faith. I came; and Carabet and Wortabet sat down, and, without disputing, or railing, read to me the doctrines of Christ and his apostles, which I found to be entirely different from any thing I had ever heard or thought. "As they read to me from time to time, I found my heart opening to receive the instructions of the New Testament, and so much influence had they upon me, that, when an express was sent to me from the convent, with an animal for me to ride upon, and another for my baggage I had no inclination to go. I knew that by going, I should have employment, and food, and raiment, and a home; and that by staying here, I was without employment, and without a home, and was daily spending what little money I had: but I refused to go; and I refused for no other reason, than that I might learn more of the Gospel. "After several weeks, I went to Damascus, with the hope of finding employment, and of getting some one to read to me the Gospel. I told my countrymen there what I had seen and heard, and assured them, that if there was any truth, or that if there were any Christians in the world, they were to be found at Beyroot. Some mocked; others were angry; and the greater 26 part so vehemently opposed me, that, after remaining a few days, I returned to Beyroot. he lies, at his own request, near him in the same burial ground, and we trust that he has gone to sing the same eternal song in the mansions of heaven. Jacob possessed a good understand memory; but was unable to read. The only reason he assigned for this was, that he had almost always been with the priests, who never wished he should know any thing. "The last Sabbath before I was taken ill, all my remaining doubts respecting the truth were removed. I felt grieving, and appeared to have a tenacious ed, that I had ever said or thought any thing against the doctrines of the Bible. 1 wept for my sins, and endeavored to give up myself to the Lord, to be his servant, asking nothing, as to this world, but bread and water sufficient to sustain life. I do not expect to recover; but I am not afraid to die. I place no dependence upon the intercession of saints, upon my prayer, or good works; but upon Christ alone. I bless God that he brought me here. "My money and clothes," he continued, "are at the Turkish khan in the city. I wish them to be brought here; and when I am dead, the whole to go înto the hands of the missionaries at Beyroot, to be devoted to the printing of the holy Scriptures for my countrymen, in the Turkish Armenian language. The above is the substance of what he related to us of himself, and we have reason to believe, that his statement is strictly true. Indeed, we ourselves were knowing to many of the circumstances, to which he alludes. When he found himself ill, he went to Wortabet's house, where he continued until his sickness, after ten days, terminated his life. Several times we prayed with him, and Wortabet prayed with him often. On two occasions when Wortabet prayed with him, I was present, and felt it to be a great privilege to kneel down with a native of the country, and join in such fervent and appropriate petitions as fell from his lips. Wortabet says he is filled with joy by the reflection that God directed his Countryman to this distant place, apparently for the sole purpose, that he might become acquainted with the way of salvation, and embrace it, before he died. It is indeed evident, that the religious views of this young man were entirely changed before the commencement of his sickness, and that truth had a divine influence upon him; and though he had no opportunity of giving evidence by a long life of self-denial and devotedness, that he was truly a disciple of Christ; yet, taking all the circumstances into consideration, we see great cause for thankfulness, that he came to us, and died in the midst of us. He was carried off by the same fever, which, one year ago, removed our Beloved Fisk from his labors; and He left twenty-five dollars in money, his clothes have been sold for about thirty dollars. After defraying the expenses of the sickness and funeral, there remain in our hands fifty-two dollars, which I beg you will acknowledge as a legacy, for the object already mentioned. Sandwich Islands. OAHU. HONORURU. Opposition of Foreigners. EVER since the mission at the Sandwich Isl ands was established, the missionaries have had the occasional happiness of welcoming individuals from Christian lands, from whom they have experienced the greatest kindness, and they have been forward to acknowledge such instances in their correspondence. There has never been a time, however, when they have not experienced unkindness and bitter opposition from persons, who were born in countries enjoying the light of the Gospel: but with respect to their trials of this kind, they have been, until lately, comparatively silent. Many encroachments on their peace and comfort, and some aggressions putting them in danger of their lives, were endured without complaint, and came to the knowledge of their friends in this country only when the return of some of their number afforded an opportunity for minute personal inquiry. But of late, duty to themselves, to their wives and children, and to the vital interests of a whole people, has compelled the mission. aries to be more explicit and full in their official and private correspondence, with respect to the conduct of those, who were unfriendly to their mission: and their correspondents and patrons, in this country, have felt it to be their duty to lay before the public an account of some of the aggressions, which have been made upon the mission, and upon the islanders. This they have done with a view to secure from violence the personal |
