Catholic Church.
In the versions of the Bible
commonly used by Protestants,
such as the King James. the
Revised Standard and other
reviSions, the Books of the
Bible are those accepted as
canonical in the early Chris
tian centuries, long before any
division took place in the
church. In other words, it was
the church which decided
which Books were to be re-
garded as inspired Scripture.
The principal point of differ
ence between Roman Catholics
and Eastern Orthodox Churches
on one hand, and other Chris
tian churches is at the point
of Interpretation of the Scrip
lures.
The Roman Catholic Church
follows the declaration of St,
Augustine, who wrote: II would
not believe the Gospel unless I
were impelled to do so by the
authority of the Catholic
Church. This principle ha;
been Incorporated into the law
of the church. What the Ro-
man Catholic Church claims
is that the church alone has
the divine right to interpret
the meaning of the Scriptures.
The Roman Catholic Church,
however, believes in the divine
inspiration of the Scriptures.
The Vatican Council of 1870
finally fixed the official canon
Of the Scriptures including the
Apocryphal Books and de-
clared:
These Books of the Old and
New Testament are to be re-
ceived as sacred and canonical
because, having been writ
ten by the inspiration of the
Holy Spirit, they have God for
their aurthor;, and have been
delivered as such to the church
herself"
A widely accepted Protestant
position on the Interpretation
of the Scriptures is that not
only did the Holy Spirit inspire
the writing of the Scriptures
but the Holy Spirit also inspires
their Interpretation to the
reader who reads as an act, Of
faith.
QUESTION: please tell me
what is meant by the words ir
John 6:53-57."
ANSWER: This passage l.
the very difficult one in whic.

man, and drink his blood VI

NEW HAVEN. Conn.,. July
29.-At the turn of the cen
tury in his native Oregon City
Greg, a serious boy named
Kenneth Scott Latourette was
planning a career in either
banking or law.
Instead, he journeyed tc
China as a missionary.
Out of this youthful change
of direction has grown an ex-
traordinary life of scholarly
achievement and Christian
dedication.
Now II, Mr.. Latourette is
an authority on the histories
of Christianity and China and
has turned out 81 books on the
subjects in the last 81 years
His books have sold more than
a million copies in English
alone-an amazing number fol
works of scholarship. They also
nave been widely translated.
His monumental work is tha
seven-volume "The History ol
the Expansion of Christianity,
published from 1897 to 1945.
Looking back to 1909. Mr.
Latourette says. II became
missionary because it seemed
the right thing to do at the
time.
Many of us felt that We
had a duty to fulfill, both as
Christians and Americans. We
didn't think we could meet
this obligation by slipping into
a comfortable profession at
home.
"It was a kind Of peace corps
so years early"
Dysentery Cut Career
Mr.. Latourette was a travel
ing secretary for the Student
Volunteer Movement for For
eign Missions in '1909-10 and
then joined the faculty OF
Yale-in-China at Changsha,
an interior city.
He was forced to cut short
his missionary teaching ca
reer in 1912 because of a bad
bout with dysentery.
Back in the United States,
Mr.. Latourette joined the his
tory faculty at Reed College
He discovered he had talent
for writing while working or
his doctoral thesis at Yale, or
the early relations between the
united states ana emma.
He was one of the first Amer
lean scholars to give serious
attention to the Far East. The
soft-cover edition of his "FIis-
tory of Modern China" (1954
has exceeded $4,000 copies. Hi:
Short History Of the Far East

GIN Dividend
Spurs Outlook
For Business
BY JACK LEFLER

AssOCAateu FTess 6usAncss WElbeT
NEW YORK. Nov. Is A
single spark ignited blaze Of
enthusiasm in business and
financial circles last week.
1t was General Motors Corps
declaration of its first extra
dividend in six years.
The automaker's decision to
raise its 1860 dividend to $3.50
a share from 50 was interpreted
as an expression Of confidence
that 1862 would be a big year
for the car industry.
Other, smaller dividend in
creases have been made recently
by Standard Oil New Jersey,
Boeing, Brunswick and United
States Gypsum.
Optimistic words about the
business outlook for 1862 came
from two leading economists,
Ira T. Ellis, economist for the
Dupont industrial empire. and
Gerhard Colin. economist for
the National Planning Associa-
ton.
Automobile production this
week exceeded the year-ago
level for the third straight week.
With the big three carmakers
having signed new labor con-
tracts, the steel industry ex-
pected an increase in orders
which were delayed while strikes
were on against General Motors

received proxies for more than
1.3 million shares approving
the proposal.
Directors voted on Septem-
Der II to increase the quarterly
dividend to 66 cents from so
cents and to split common
stock, subject to Shareowner
approval. The effect Of the
split would be to double the
total authorized stock to 4 mil
lion shares.
Donald S. Bittinger, company
president, said the split would
increase the availability of
. common shares for trading,
thus making possible a broader
base of market participation
for present and future stock
owners.
Holders Of common stock are
entitled to an additional share
for each share owned i'm
mediately prior to the close Of
business today. under the split
proposal. The dividend increase
was paid November l to stock
holders of record october 10.
On a quarterly basis, the in
crease means an adjusted divi-
dend of 80 cents a share on
split stock, or $1.S2 a year.
