go far to show in what the light the "Emphatic Diaglott" is regarded
by the clergy:
From J. R. GRAVES, LL.D., _Editor of Tenn. Baptist_.--"There are
many of our ministers who have mastered the usual amount of
Greek required to complete their course at school but have found
little time since entering upon their ministerial labors to
"keep it up," and rust has so gathered upon their Greek that it
has become a labor to work it out without Grammar and Lexicon.
To all such and even to those who have accomplished but little
in the language, this INTERLINEARY translation will prove an
invaluable help. The CRITICAL FOOT-NOTES and Dictionary of Terms

From THOMAS ARMITAGE, D.D., _Pastor of the Fifth Ave. Baptist

work before the public. I believe the work will do good, and aid
the better understanding of the New Testament."
From Prof. H. MATTISON, _Pastor of Trinity Meth. Church, Jersey
City, N. J._--... "The plan of the work is admirable, and the
presence of the Greek text and interlinear version gives every
scholar a fair chance to test the version for himself, verse by
verse and word for word. I can not but believe that the work
will be valuable acquisition to the Biblical literature of th
