x NEW BIBLE years ago we heard this story at

I 5 meeting of the Bible Society” in

Montreal-

A young Indian Princess was being brought up in the faith of her royal father in Indie. She was surrounded by people devoted to the ancestral religion so that all that she learned and the very atmosphere she. breathed would be Hindu. Christian missionaries were then beginning their work in In- die and the Bible was being dis- lrlbuted inrthat area. One of the instructions given ,tn the teachers of the little princess was that under no circumstances was she to be allowed to read the Bible. Now whe a young girl of inde- pendent plrit is told that she must not look into one book in particular. that becomes the very book that she is most anxious to read. This young girl was human in that respect. and soon she got hold of a Bible and read it in sec- ret. The effect was her acceptance of Christ as her Saviour and Lord. She became a centre of christian influence and a spring of Christian activity, the main- uay of the cause of Christ wher- evcr- her family's influence was

felt.

Her experience is an example (if the truth of the text: "The word of God is living and active. sharp- ar than any two-edged sword. piercing the division of soul and ipirit, of joints and marrow. and liscarning the thoughts and inten- .ions of the heart."

The above translation of He- araws 4:12 is taken from the new Revised Standard Version” of the Bible which has been prepared under the auspices oi the Inter- national Council of Christian Edu- cation. and has Just been given to the public. The New Testa- ment was published in 1946 and the writer has used it ever since. comparing its renderings with the Greek text and finding them illu- minating.

It is interesting to note that our own Principal. W. R. Taylor '51 University College was an in- luentlal member oi the committee and was the translator of the Psalms. Also that the secretary 3f the committee was Professor lames Mofiatt, who had himself given us a translation oi the Bible znto what he called "effective and intelligible English." Principal Tay- or once said of James Moffatt as v. translator that he had "an in- utinet for the right word that was ilmost uncanny." In view of that remark this story is. significant. Since the committee was puzzling war the right English word to translate an ancient original. and me member s ggested a word eveiai times wi hout getting any 'csponse. At last he said: "Dr. vioifat, don't you know where I tound that word? It was in your uwn translation oi the Bible." Dr. viofiatt answered: "It was all 'ight for that translation. but it sn't good enough for this one." this shows the extreme care with ihich this new version has been prepared by the leading scholars at the continent.

I O O

Dr. Luther A. Wclgie of Yale Jniverslty was mainly responsible for launching this enterprise. His idea has been trying to keep es close as possible to Tyndale'e translation which shaped so de- cisively our Authorized Version. This KingJamu Version has been called-and justl -"the noblest monument oi Eng ish prose." Tyn- dale was a. young English scholar who was inspired by the work of Erasmus. a Dutch scholar, who produced in 1516 the first printed Greek text of the New Testament Tyndale "determined to lift the veil of Bible ignorance from the common men by giving him a Bible that he coul read.” In a dispute with a clergyman. young

TRANSLATION,

Tyndale declared; "Ii God spare my life ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plough shall know more oi the Scripture than thou dost"...

He was asigood as his word. He finished his t anslation oi the New Testament in the summer of 1525. He proceeded at once with his translation oi the Old Testament and succeeded in publishing a considerable portion of it before his martyrdom in 1530.

A recent writer remarks: "All subsequent English translations in- cluding the King James version, owe a debt to his work of trans- lation. Ninety per cent. of. the translation of the New Testament in the King James Version can-be traced directly to the foundation work done by Tyndale. The new "Revised Standard Version" has returned to Tyndale's readings in some cases.

The story of recent discoveries oi ancient manuscripts of the Bible reads like a romance. We have space for only two. In 1044 a young German scholar visited the monastery of Ste. Catherine at Mount Sinai. He saw in a wastebasket some sheets of parch- ment, and heard that a lot of similar material had just been burned as trash. When he looked at the sheets he noticed that they were pages of the oldest manu- script of the New Testament of which he had ever heard. l-lls joy oi his discovery betrayed their -value and he was not allowed to take them away. But. when he re- visited that monastery in I859 he found not only.the leaves he had seen before. but a com lete manu- script of the New Tes ament .and many other treasures. In 1880 this manuscript was sent as a gift to Russia, and in i933 it was pur- chased ior the British Museum for 8500.000. -

A recent writer says that the transistors in mi based their New Testament on less than two dozen imperfect Greek manuscripts cop- ied efter the tenth century A.D. These had been written by mnd. and their text had more than 5.- 000 copyisw errors. But none of these errors influenced the central doctrines oi the faith. But Tisch- dorfi's text belonged to the fourth century A.D.--hundreds of years nearer the original. Many other discoveries of equal value have since been made.

I O O

In 1948 a group. of Bedouins were leading their flocks along the shores oi the Dead Sea. when one of them noticed a hole in the side oi the cliff. He and a-friend en- tered and discovered a large cave in which were stored Jars with the oldest manuscripts oi the Old Testament known. One is a scroll oi Isaiah written in the second century B.C., hundreds of years older than the eldest previous known. '

All oi these discoveries and many more have been utilized by the translators of this new Re- vised Btandard Version.

Two reflections: One young Bible student testifies that her Bible is a new book to her. It is

while it contains the earliest known :versions ,of the -ancient Word.

"Trust your scholars". This was a message to our church by Pro- fessor Anderson Scott. oi Cam- bridge. given at the induction oi young W. R. Taylor into his chair of Old Testament literature in Westminster Hall. B.C. His part in the new tra lation shows how worthy of trust he and his fellow- workere have been.

Seven Days A lleek

,lBy Anne Shannon)

1. Monday: Says Dorotny Marsh: "Thousands of dollars and thous- ends of hours have been devoted to proving that people who eat a good breakfast work better, think better, react faster and are alto- gether pleaeanter. happier people. beading universities have conduct- ed tests that demonstrated by actual m as hi n e measurements that, for example, secretaries typ- ed faster. more accurately. and with less fatigue after eating good breakfasts." T

So it all depends on breakfast -how we feel later on in the morning. Mornings are usually busy times in any household and very often we are tempted to tell kiddies to "hurry up" and as a result they develop a distaste for breakfast in any form or shape. If you are trying to build up a child's appetite. ten or fifteen minutes pre-breakfast outdoor play will do wonders to whet appetites. Remember to make breakfast at- tractive and pleasant and with endless varieties of boxes. cans and bottles of breakfast foods that shouldn't bop too difficult a chore!

2. Tuesday: .Do you know what "1-lop Chops" are? Well. they are plain . bunnyburgersl The bunny- burger idea was the brain child of the Texogia Rabbit Breeders As- sociation of Texas and Oklahoma. and new commercial rabbit raising is one of. Southwestern United States' fastest growing light in- dustries. ”l-lop Chops” is the trade-marked name of packaged fryer-s1r.ed rabbits packed in Dur- ant, Oklahoma. This is a 550,000 plan capable of processing 40,000 rabb every week.

14. Thursday: A man, lying on his death-bed was questioned by his inconsolable prospective widow. "Poor Mike", said she, "is there anythin" ye wud .have that wud make yo comfortable? Anythini ye ask for, I'll get for yel"

"Please Bridget." Mike respond- ed, "1 t'ink I'd lolke a wee taste of the ham I smell a-boilini in

the kitchen." . "Arrah. indeed. Molke." said Bridget tartly. ”Divil a. bit of

7. Sunday: Thirty days hath September and now they have .sl' most all slipped away. The sun shines goldeniy. and is reflected in every goldenrod that waves in the browning fields. Wild asters like purple stars poke their heads up in most unexpected corners. Stray leaves are whisked down from maple and birch trees everywhere -a promise of autumn days com- ing qulcklyl This is the time of the year to take stock-for ex- ample. lay in a supply of good books so that we can be carried in imagination into other lives, other years and countries. Also it is a good day today to do a bit of stock-taking in respect to our souls” activities. What have we done for our fellow men during the past months? Did we stop to lend a helping hand when neces- sary or were we too "busy" to see enotherls distress and loneliness? The that to our breasts we
