Of Evangelism, states;
The scholars who gave us
the R.S.V. tried to give us a
clearer understanding of the
word of God
The Bible is its best propon-
ent, regardless of whether it is
the King James translation or
the Moffat, or the American Re
vised, or the Revised Standard
Version.
The Holy Spirit still reveals
the truth through any transla-
ton. One day, some preachers
were testifying to which transla-
ton they liked best - one said,
Moffat's one said Good-Speeds
another, the King James, an
other, the Weymouth, and anoth-
er My Mothers translation. A
preacher asked, your mother
translate the Bible?" "Yes," he
replied, every day of her life"

posters" - such was the recep-
ton it received, and it is not to
be wondered at, that we should
find some today, using the same
unchristian language. The trans
lators of the King James version
in their preface, summed up the
situation for their own day, and
ours as well:
I'VE shall be maligned 10y
self-conceited brethren, who run
their own way and give liking
unto nothing, but what is fran
ed by themselves, and hammered
on their own anvil"
The second statement is this
that more name-calling and the
insidious attempts made to pm
the tag of Communism and
heresy upon those translators, IS
wholly unchristian.
These men are recognized
leaders in their respective de
nominations and who am | to
pass judgement either upon their
character or scholarship, Let HIM
that is without sin cast the first
stone!
Where is there such a man, so
perfect, so guiltless, SO absolute
in holiness as to act as sole
Judge? Thus far in my whole
life, I have never met such
man, whether layman or minis
ter.
Our inadequacy i'll these at
tributes bars us from being reli-
gious inquisitors.
The Lord called us into the
ministry not to be policemen
aut to be ambassadors in great
redemptive work OF winning
men - and of lifting them up.
When we excel in this, we
fulfill our mission When, how
ever, we become mere police
men, we miss our calling. Trying
to evaluate a mans character
merely on the basis of his as
sociation with others, is by no
means an infallible guide.
If that were an infallible
proof. then Our Lord would
stand condemned because of his
frequent association with publ
cans, sinners and disreputable
outcasts as the woman at the

YOUR
ELECTION
LAWS

Under revisions in Ohio's
election laws, which became eff
fective January l, and many Of
which will accrue to the benefit
of the voter directly, civilians
outside the continental United
States will be allowed to apply
for absent voters ballot sixty
days before an election, instead
of thirty days.
The reason we are pleased
that the General Assembly ac-
cepted this recommendation is
obvious when we trace the time
expending, step-by-step require
ments for such a voter. Let us
use the wife of a service man as
an eXample-to receive a ballot
and get it back to her home
county in time for it to be in
cluded in the count:
If Jane Doe is overseas she
does not automatically receive

If mere association with

because they were in daily COM
pany with Judas, who was
devil from the beginning.
Christians leave the policing
to the civic and governmental
bodies, and follow Jesus ia
seeking to win the lost to His
WAY of life. When we lend our
selves to a smearing campaign,
we are not furthering His cause,
nor following a constructive
spiritual program.
The testimony of outstanding
Protestant leaders in the United
States:
1t is interesting just to take
a look at some Of the prominent
leaders and ponder over their
appraisal Of the r. S. V. Here
is Bishop William S. Martin,
Methodist:
"I am personally acquainted
with six members Of the stan
dard revision committee, and !
know most of the others by re-
putation. Not one of these men,
would give his approval to a
word or q phrase in this new
version, which was not a true
and accurate translation from
the original tongues"
DR.. Bullock, Methodist: "The
entire translation was carefully
checked and re-checked by all
the translators Of the Old Testa-
ment and of the New Testament
respectively, as well as by coun-
selors representing 81 denomlna-
tons cooperating in the project.
These men represented every
variety Of doctrinal beliefs and
the translation was made pos
sible because all of them sought
prayerfully to convey the actual
meaning of the oldest and most
trustworthy manuscripts, rather
than to try or to prove or dis
prove some particular doctrine. "

secretary of the General Board
