REUSED VERSION OF NEW TESTAMENT MODERNIZES STORY The New Covenant, commonly called "The New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ’ was first translated from the Greek in the King James Version and published In 1611. As a result of a discovery of now manuscripts of the New Testament, more ancient than those used Uy the translators in 1611. together with a marked dcveloj ment in Biblical studies, the English Revised Version of the New Testament' was published In 1881. Thia was followed in 1901 by the American Standard Version. Just completed this year, 1946. has been the Revised Standard Version of th©-JL‘W Testament. It's translator# Were guided by two reasons for their work. First, they wanted ,to get away from the too literal, word-for-word

translation from the Greek p . pyri, dealing with the everydn affairs of life In the early cet turies of the Christian era, fu nished scholars with new und< . standings of their language. THE BIRTH OF JESUS Here is tire story of the bir of Jesus as told by Luke in t) new 1946 Revised Standard V. ston of the New Testament . "And thou, child, shalt be c ed the prophet of the Most Illg for thou shalt go befon the L ! to prepare his ways. gi\ . knowledge of salvatloi. ‘ u h; < people in forgiveness if the » sins, through the tender mercy our God, when the day shall dav upon us from on high to gl\. light to those who sit In darkm and in the shadow of death, t guide our feet into the way Peace. "In tl osc days, a decree wci forth from Caesar Augustus th all the world should be eirolb This was the first enrollmen: when Quirmius was Governor Syria. And all went to be enrol; ed. each to his own city. And J seph also went up from Gallicfrom the city of Nazareth, t Judea, to the city of David, to t enrolled with Mary, his betroth- <! who was with child. And whilthey were there, the time carr. for her to be delivered. And sbgave birth to her firstborn s- - and wrapped him in swaddlln> clothes, and laid him In a man ger, because there was no plu< • for them in the inn. “And in that region there w-1 shepherds out In the fields, hel] ing watch over their flocks tnight. And an angel of the Tx»rd approved to them, and the Gbaof the Lord shone around then and they were filled with fem And the angel said unto then: “Be not afraid: for behold 1 bring unto you g<xid tidings - ' great joy, for unto you is hon this day in the city of David. Savior which is Christ the L-r-! and this shall be a sign tint you shall find the bab« wrappin swaddling clothe*, lying in manger.” FOUNDATION Time proves that indivnb. thinking Is the llfe-blixxl of < u democratic way of life Honesty and integrity are tru! name-brands on any market.

—Romans 8:28 At we approach the greatest of all holidays, many of ut begin to feel a stronger faith surging within as our thoughts turn to the true meaning of the Christmas season. This we know, that "God works for good with those who love hUn* and there is no greater example of God’s love than we find in the One Great Story of the birth and the life of Christ upon earth.
