I in dutifull memory to his | Beloved Mother one of her | Sons has Caused this Stone | to be Erected." This completes the list of the tablets now hidden from view by the new organ, and one cannot but regret that when the otherwise excellent restoration was effected, a little more care and forethought was not exercised. so that some of these memorials of departed parochial worth were not placed in better positions in the church ; for before the advent of the new instrument the most interesting of these tablets were accessible to the ordinary visitor to the church. Who was responsible for the arrangement is not quite clear ; but it is very far from perfect, and now, alas ! beyond any power of alteration, however it may be wished for. W. E. HARLAND-OXLEY. 14, Artillery Buildings, Victoria Street, S.W. "HE is THY LORD," Ps. XLV. 12.—So the Authorized and Revised Versions correctly. But it is well known that the Prayer-Book version has, like the Douay. " He is thy Lord God." This is taken from the Vulgate, which reads (xliv. 12), " Ipse est Dominus Deus tuus," probably because the Hebrew word for Lord is plural in form. But so it also is in Qen. xxiii. 11. 15, where Abraham is spoken of; in Gen. xlv. 10,30,33, where the reference is to Joseph, and many other places in which a man is intended. The addition of " God " in the Prayer Book no doubt puzzles many. So far as I am aware, the Genevan (first edition, 1560) is the first English version in which the rendering from the Hebrew is correct. The Septuagint has an-ds i<mv 6 Kvptos o-ou, and ends the verse there. la it not possible, if not to substitute a later version for that in the Psalter, at any rate to subject it to some revision ? W. T. LYNN. Blackheath. THE LATE COL. C. T. J. MOORE, C.B. (See 9th S. v. 448.)—Col. Moore's father, the Rev. Charles Moore, was never Vicar of Moulton. He was curate in charge for Dr. Maurice Johnson, and afterwards to his own brother, Dr. William Moore. He was head master of the Grammar School at Moulton from 1827
