BAPTISTS ALTER
PARTS OF BIBLE

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 19.-The
new improved bible recently publish
ed by the American Baptist Publica-
ton society will eventually rid pulpit
prayer OF 10Th century diction, &C.
Cording to DR.. c. Kingsley Rowland,
secretary of the society.
'The scholars who have prepared
the translation for the Baptist bible, -
said Dr. Rowland, have aimed, so far
as it was consistent with strict inter
probation of the thought, to eliminate
obsolete Elizabethan words and to re,
place them with those in general mod.
ern use The substitution of the mon
osyllables love and lead for the ar
chaic forms 1oveth' and 1eadeth'
marks but one instance where the
English of the King James version
has given way to that in currency
today.
1T is my belief that the new edi-
ton will eventually eliminate anti.
quated language from modern pulpit
duplication. Prayer has always been
modelled after biblical expression of
thought, and a change in the former, /
believe, will follow the change in the
latter"
With its modern phraseology and
new verbal clothing designed to give
the word wider dissemination through
a more popular presentation, the Bap-
fist bible has aroused much comment
in the world of thought and religion
Since its appearance a few days age
thousands long familiar with the King
James version or the Douay Catholic
bible have been busy comparing the
new translation with the older edi
tons.
The story of the whale and the
prophet has for years been a bone OF
contention among Christians argumen
tatively inclined, and has been respon
sible for the backsliding of many
doubling Thomases." Men of science
have long admitted that whales, al
least modern whales, would choke tC
death on a loaf of bread, and there
fore, when celebrating upon the alb
normal esophagus credited to Jonah's
whale, have been forced to accept with
consideration the murmurs of the in
credulous.
The Baptist bible, however, hal
the indefinite great fish" for the spec
| flied whale" as a nearer interpreta
| ton of the ancient Hebrew.
In the effort to give the new edi
ton greater lucidity of expression
not even the 10 commandments hav,
escaped. Love thy God" is replaced
| by Jehovah thy God" and still more

startling alterations have been made
in the working of the second law.
The great commandment defining
mans duty to God reads as follows in
the translation prepared for King
James:
Thou shalt not make unto thee any
craven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above or that
is in the earth beneath, or that is in
the water under the earth; thou shalt
not bow down to them nor serve them;
for l the Lord thy God am a jealous
God, visiting the iniquity of the faith
ers upon the children unto the third
and fourth generation of them that
hate me, and showing mercy unto thou
my commandments.
The same passage in the Baptist
edition reads as follows:
Thou shalt not make to thee a carved
image or any likeness of what is in the
heavens above, or of what is in the
earth beneath, or of what is in the
waters beneath the earth; thou shalt
not bow myself down to them nor
serve them; for l Jehovah thy God am
jealous God, visiting the iniQuity of
the fathers upon sons, upon the third
generation and upon the fourth gen
Grafton of them that hate me, and
showing mercy to the thousandth gen
Grafton of them that love me and keep
my commandment.
Thus the obsolete craven" is re-
placed with carved" by the Baptist
scholars in dealing with the above
commandment. The iniQuity of the
fathers is visited upon sons" in the
Baptist translation, instead of upon
the children" as in the King James
version.
The most apparent change, how
ever, is the substitution of showing
mercy. to the thousandth generation
! for of showing mercy unto thou
sands"
DR.. Rowland pointed out that "the
thousandth generation" is more
comprehensive expression for divine
love, and, extending over ages of time
includes in its meaning countless mum,
bers more than a thousand.
Genesis, with its outline of Chris,
tian cosmogony has also suffered
some change. In the Baptist bible
the name of Adam does not appear
I The father of the human race is called
the man." which is the old Hebrew
meaning of Adam. Eve" becomes
the woman" since the Hebrew inter
probation of Eve was simply woman
The 18th chapter of Luke elimin
ates the word hell" as the name OF
subterrestrial realms and replaces II
| with under world"
