Many feel modern translation

j The King James version of the
' Bible, which was translated In
j 1611 A.D., has never been rivalled
I for poetic beauty and majesty of

But more than 1,000 English

1 changes of meaning since the
j King James was published 352
j years ago.
j That's why many people feel
that a good modern translation is
essential for anyone who plans to
; read the Bible seriously,
i Which modern translation you
choose is a matter of taste. The
! chief contenders for public and
scholarly favor are the Revised
I Standard Version and the ,Ncw
. English Bible. . . , .
The Revised Standard Version

j ' Still Being Translated
iTho Old Testament portion of
the new English Bible ' is still
being translated, and won't be
' available for some years yet The
'; New Testament portion has been
! a best-sellor since March, 1961. It
j is an entirely fresh translation of
; the original Greek into contempo
' rary, idiomatic English. While It
J lacks literary grace at many
l points, it hits the reader right be
j tween the eyes as a message nd
; dressed to htm in his own every-
I day tongue. Those who have
' ceased to get any real impact out
of overly-famlllar passages of the
y King James will have the feeling
, that they are reading the Bible
i for the first time.
1 Where you begin reading Is at
' least as important as the choice
' of a translation. Many people
j make the mistake of trying to
read the Bible straight through
1 from beginning to end, as if it
! were an ordinary book or novel.
! If you do that, you are very apt
to get "bogged down in the be
: gats" when you reach the dull
i and endless geneaologies of the
! Old Testament.
, It is more accurate to think of
: the Bible as a whole library of
, books, written at various times
1 over a span of 1,500 years. These
books differ enormously in liter
ary style, historical value and
spiritual depth. Except in a very
broad sense, they do not tell a
consecutive narrative, so there's
no need to "begin at the begin
ning" and plow straight through.
Begin In Middle
Instead, you can begin in the
middle, with the part of the Bible
which to Christians is the most
important and exciting news ever
reported upon this earth the
story of Jesus Christ.
The Bible is a book about
God; it tells what He did for
men, especially in Jesus Christ
His son," says Prof. Floyd V.
Filson of McCormick Tehological
Seminary. "Read the whole Bible
by all means, but get to the
heart of the biblical message at
the start."
Prof. Filson recommends begin
ning with the New Testament
books of Luke and Acts. They
were written by the same author,
and although they are now sep
arated in the Bible, it is clear
that they were originally Intend
ed to go together, for they tell a
single, connected story.
The first part the Gospel ac
cording to St. Luke is the story
of Christ's life, death and resur
rection, written especially for a
Gentile audience by a man who
seems to have been a very care
ful reporter with an eye for vivid
detail and a gift for poetic ex
pression.
In the Acts of the Apostles, the
same writer tells how the Chris
tian church came into being un
der the awesome impact of the
resurrection, and traces its
spread throughout the Roman
Empire, with particular attention
to the missionary voyages of the
Apostle Paul, with whom Luke
travelled extensively.
Proceed To St. John
After reading Luke-Acts, you
may want to proceed to the Gos
pel according to St. John. Here
you'll find less concern with
events and sayings, more empha
sis on meaning and significance.
To over-simplify, you might say
that Luke is the reporter who
tells you what Jesus did and said,
while John is Uie theologian who
tells who Jesus was and why He
came.
St. Paul's letters could well
come next especially those ad
dressed to the young churches at
Corinth and Rome. After that you
can finish the other Gospels and
Epistles of the New Testament in
almost any order that appeals to
you.
Eventually, you'll want to read
the whole Old Testament, for
Christianity cannot be truly com
prehended without a thorough ac
quaintance with the Jewish scrip
tures which Jesus said he came
"not to destroy but to fulfill."
But it may be best to ease your
way into the Old Testament by
reading first the book of Psalms
the greatest collection of devo
tional poetry the world has ever
known.
After the Psalms, try Isaiah,
the noblest and most moving of
the Hebrew books of "prophecy.
Then, when you're well acquaint
ed with .the sublime heights to
which the children of Israel are
destined to move in their knowl
edge of God, you can go back to
Genesis and begin tracing the
early story of this remarkable
who were chosen by God for a
special role as light-bearers to
mankind.
Chose Good Commentary
Whatovor sequence you follow,
you will find far more meaning
in the Bible if you read it in con
nection with a good Commentary.
Before beginning to read any
book of the Bible, find out from
the commentary what scholars
have discovered about its date
and authorship, and Uie historical
circumstances under which it was
written. This background infor
mation will enable you to under
stand many otherwise-baffling
passages.
McNamara
TFX case is
seen weak
WASHINGTON (UPI) A for
mer Pentagon employe said this
week that Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara had "no
real supportable" technical case
for awarding the TFX fighter
plane contract to General Dynam
os Corp.
Albert W. Blackburn, a former
Marine major and test pilot who
worked on the TFX contract, also
implied that in the final competi
tive round. General Dynamics
copied most of the superior de
sign features submitted in a rival
bid by Boeing Co.
"All of the imaginative aerody
namic fixes devised by Boeing in
their third submission...somehow
found their way into the final
General Dynamics design to a de
gree of similarity that would hard
ly be a coincidence," Blackburn
declared.
The statements were contained In
a memorandum prepared March
1 by Blackburn before he resigned
from his Pentagon post March 25.
It was released bv the Senate In
vestigations subcommittee, which
is looking into the disputed multi
million dollar award.
Blackburn worked in the office
of Dr. Harold Brown, the Penta
gon's chief of research. He was
resrjonsible for coordinating the
TFX program in Brown's office.
Blackburn said McNamara's de
cision reversing unanimous mili
tary recommendations tavoruig
the Boeing design had a damaging
impact on the morale 01 nunareos
of professional military men as
sociated with the program.
He said the Defense Department
chief owed it to the personnel in
volved "as a matter of loyalty to
his own oreanization to state his
real reasons for selecting General
Dynamics over Boeing.
Blackburn suggestea me ae-
cision was oasea on mgirci
level" considerations, rather than
on design superiority or cost fac
tors which he said clearly favored
Boeing.
These "higher level tactors, ne

More refugees

PORT EVERGLADES, Fla.
(UPI) Another 751 Cuban ref-

Answer to Previous Punlo
MOSCOW (UPI) Frol Kozlov,
55, Premier Nikita Khrushchev's
heir apparent, was reported re
liably today to have regained con
sciousness and to have recovered
from partial paralysis.
The sources said there were
hopes that the No. 2 man in the
Soviet Communist party eventual
ly would be restored to health.
He had been stricken with a brain
hemorrhage.
Whether this means that the
silver-haired presidium member
will be fully able to return to his
duties or will have to be content
with greatly reduced chores is un
known now.
Kozlov suffered a heart attack
three years ago but recovered suf
ficiently to return to the job.
The sources reported that an
other close associate of Khrush
chev, First Deputy Premier and
presidium member Anastas Mik
oyan, is improving rapidly from
