SOCIETY TO PUT
FORTH WONDERFUL
NEW JEWISH BIBLE
More Than $50, 900 to Be Spent
in Compiling Great Work
to Aid Faith.

While the various local religious de-
nominations are somewhat exercised
over what the trend of modernism is
doing for the many orthodox faiths, the
Jewish Publication Society of America,
which is the leading exponent of the
views Of the Hebrew race in this city.
State and country, is about to achieve
one of the greatest works hat the So
ciety has ever attempted, the publica-
ton of a revised Jewish Bible in Eng
nsh, which will be free from all nom
Jewish interpretations, at an outlay of
over $50, 700.

While the organization during its
twenty-five years of existence has is
sued some seventy works bearing on
the history of the Jew. the edition of
the new revised Bible is awaited with
great interest by the scholars OF all
creeds. 1t is believed that the new
version will be the means of bringing
into clearer vision n understanding
those questionable interpretations
which have caused the many creeds to
become somewhat ~antagonistic to the
Hebrew and his religion.
1t Is said that the ley and his re-
ligious beliefs ave been maligned, and
his faithfulness to his orthodox re-
ligion criticized, through an ignorance
of the facts, which the new book will
disclose.
