Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 June 1915 — No Slangy Bible. [ARTICLE]

No Slangy Bible.

Thought it contaiils no slang, the Twentieth Century New Testament 5' colloquial and present-day in its language. Lacking the dignity we associate with the scriptures, even this translation lias failed to awaken much interest. The lYble can be made virile and appealing, in its message without degrading it to the slang level of Coney Island or the bleachers of a baseball park.—Leslie’s.
