IL is one of the most thrilling
stories that was ever written. 1t
has Outclassed many of the best
short stories that have ever ap-
peared in print. Weymouth's
translation is fascinating. use il
frequently in my pulpit It makes
clear in modern English many OBJ
scure passages OF the New Testa-

of the greatest New Testament
scholars and has the approval OF
the leading students of the Bible in

think your idea is a capital
one I believe that the public
should support you in this move
