What is regarded as a most radical version
of the Holy Bible was placed on sale in Phila-
delphia Nov. 14th at the American Baptist
Publication Society room. 1t is Baptist
Bible for Baptsts only, and much of the old
text has been entirely changed. In that por-
ton of the New Testament where the CONVEX
sation of the Savior is described, in place OF
using the Greek 'baptize' the literal transla-
ton "immerse" is used. so as to conform with
Baptist teachings that Christ went down into
the water for the baptism. All the archaic
forms of the King James and Revised Yer
sions have been completely eliminated. The
new Bible is called the Improved Version, "
and is distinctly different from the old Scrip
lures. Practically no other church but the
Baptists will be able to use it, because it in
terprets the Scriptures to mean solely what
the Baptist church teaches.
