Ethiopian Bible
To Be Revised

Adds ABABA, May 16. GA
NP)-The Ethiopian Bible known
as the Amharic Bible, will be re-
vised by a six man commission, it
was revealed here last week. The
new Bible, the third revision, was
ordered by Emperor Halle Selas-
sic.
The British and Foreign Bible
society are cooperating with the
Ethiopian church to produce the
new Bible.
he Amharic Bible is more COM
plete than the Bible used in the
west. It contains several books
that are not in the western YER
sion. One of these books is the
apocryphal Book Of Enoch, lost
| for centuries in the west, but re-
discovered in Ethiopia.
It is estimated by the commits
sion that it will take three years
to revise the new testament and
four years to revise the old tesla
ment.

Of a rejection by Indiana Of the
bid by the Congress to hold its
notorious Jim Grow tournament
in that state.
The tournament was held in At

action against the caucasian

was not only nationwide, for pro-
tests came from abroad. At the
annual convention Of the Congress
officials, after first promising to
do something, arrogantly refused
to take any action on the "Cauca-

Nationwide protests exploded
again when it was learned that
Columbus would be the scene of
the next disgraceful Jim Grow

NAACP Closes
Membership Drive

Reverend Walter p. Offut of
New York City spoke at the clos
ing meeting of the Dayton branch
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored eople
Membership Drive for 1949. The
meeting was held last night at the
Mckinley Methodist church. Rev.
erend Granville Reed, president of
the Dayton NAACP, presided. DR..
M. R. Clarke was chairman of the
drive.
The final report revealed that
the goal of 5000 was not reached.
But it was not because members
did not strive theoretically to
reach the top. The goal was not
reached because of the unwilling
ness Of the public to wake up to
the seriousness of the deplorable
state of civil rights and the need
for a strong organization like the
Association to defend existing
rights and gain new ones.
That the NAACP is one of the
most important organizations can
be attested to by many. Ask Mrs.
Rosa Ingram, Mrs. Robert NAL

And Hannah, flabbergasted,
said, he had no thought of kill
ing Esther. Some Of his best
friends were Jews. He wanted
to kill such Jews as Mordecai.
'Mordecai!" exclaimed the king
aghast, isn't that the man who
prevented my assassination sew
eral months ago." And the king
had copies of the Times brought
before him and sure enough, it
was the same Mordecai.
"Well," said Hannah, 81 wanted
to- kill the Jews, because the
Jews are not patriots"
"But Mordecai succeeded in
saving the life of the king. Isn't
that patriotic?" asked Esther.
So Hannah said he was ready
to destroy the gallows which he
had built to hang Mordecai on.
But the king said, "That won't
be necessary. Well hang you on
it."
So the party ended, and Esther
rose to leave. And the king said,
stay a little longer, beautiful,
don't co."
But Esther said, mo, I must
go and bake some hamentashen. "
