Biblical Text
BY PAUL L. NORTON
MaYville. N. 7.

In regard TO the Sermon of
Christ" published in the KEY

6. some people like the old Eng :,
lish Biblical language because
they are used to it, or fin d it
beautiful. r..
If remembering that in the
long run nothing is much. more
beautiful than it is helpful, we
still adhere to it as being clever,
then yea verify 1 say untQ We,
Fine" = ~ 1,
But let's be honest and not do
so by reason of creating an at
mosphere of pomp and circum-
stance, which does not ring true
to the vast majority. Certainly,
Jesus spoke in the language of
His time and region, though,
perhaps, the guardians of the
Temple" or "Church' did not.
This American translation from
the Greek manuscripts, with mi
nor changes, offered as improve
ments, carries the suggestion
that anyone or any group, wish
ing to reproduce it or to try to
improve it, may do so, the above,
of course, was not reached with
out hundreds of hours Of re-
search and redrafting.
The Bible contains many pas
sages-both valuable ones and
ones which are almost useless
and a few that are so valuable.
SO simple, basic, sound, everlast-
ing, that even poor (unlettered)
mans efforts to clarity them will
not harm or distort them, if he is
thoughtful.
Such passages rest IN the
hands of the great numbers of
people who hear the Son of Man
gladly, rather than of special
castles or classes of instructors.
AS Jesus aid, "a Time is coming
when everyone will get to know
God, directly, and there will moi
be people called rabbi (priest or
minister)". That is, that those
who minister will be among the
people. rather than over them or
distinct from them. He does nol
believe in burden of many Spe-
ciel observances, "grievouS to be
borne.
The main thing about this

DILL O'REILLY paced restless
- ly back and forth, wagging his
fat forefinger at Jean Saunders
and Harry Hawkins.
"Sure the Biarritz and Castillo
are gambling joints" he conceded,
after Hawkins had told him of
his findings. "But you can't get
the Mayor to raid them on some
delicatessen owners say-so!"
"Why not?" Hawkins demand
ed. IT didn't just hear it from
Shapiro. He was the first one to
tip me off, but a half - a dozen
people in show business have told
me about it since"
Listen. said O'Reilly patient
1y. "Those joints are running be-
cause some police big-shots are
getting theirs. In their district,
the projections alright. Let them
get just one hint of raid and
zing!-they pass the word to the
joints and all the evidence is
ducked, buried so deep a subway
cop couldn't dig it out"
Jean, who had joined with Bill
and Harry for a strategy confer
ence after they had learned of the
gambling joints, listened graYely,
commenting:
"It's logical to expect the
crooked cops to protect their little
gold mine-but how about the
honest cops in that district?"
O'Reilly snorted derisively.
Eat chance they'd have, with
the captain and inspector on the
gamblers payroll!" he said hus-
kily. "One peep out of them and
they'd be stuck so far out in the
woods they'd have to commute
in B-29s!"
"How about the Mayor" Jean
asked. You've said he's out to
stop gambling"
"Of course he is, my dear, of
course" O'Reilly conceded with
elaborate courtesy. But he can't
just put on a blue suit and ham,
mer down their front doors with
a borrowed night-stick. He's got
to act through the commissioner"
"Where does the police commits
sioner stand on all this, anyhow"
Hawkins inquired. 80

sits not quite that simple. Think
about the departmental politics
involved. If he hits those spots
and finds nothing, he's made a
donkey of himself after going
over the district inspectors head.
If he does make a big pinch, he's
got to clean house in that entire
district; boot out the whole dis
trict command, neck and crop"
He sat down heavily, his broad
figure filling an upholstered wing
chair in Hawkins apartment lv-
ing room. He folded his hands
across his ample paunch with an
Lair of resignation and finality.
That's the situation" he de-
clared. IF you can get enough
evidence to convince the Mayor,
he'll order the raids. But he won't
stick his neck out like an extern

not good politics; it's not even
"We'll grant you that" Jean
admitted. "The question is, where
do we 60 from here?"
O'Reilly looked abstractedly in
to space for moment, then he
spoke decisively:
1T seems to me you've got to
back up every detail of your
story. Get the layout of the clubs,
find out the names of everyone
connected with them-eSpecially
the racket boys who are putting
up the jack to promote the lay
out. Talk to merchants and store
keepers in the neighborhood, if
you can swing it without tipping
your hand. Find out the hours
those joints operate. You can
probably dig up some bird who's
a good enough actor to worm his
way into the gambling rooms and
find out how much dough the GUS
toners are tossing to the wolves"
Harry and / can arrange that
in a few days." Jean said. "But
we've got to be careful about the
man we pick to make that inside
investigation: if he's a newspa-
perman, Dawson might spot him
and tip off the owners"
Right. O'Reilly agreed. "Daw-

this racket. And don't forget, if

Young and old have got to get
