The new edition offers alternative trans lations of ancient Greek and Hebrew words, giving readers of the King James version the advantage of a modern translation. The new Bible also features an astronaut's eye view of the Holy Land and closeups such as this detail of Jerusalem. American Bible Society Scholars Research Ancient Bible Language By HAROLD SIIEEHAN NEW YORK (NEA) Among the questions facing the Ameri- can Bible Society wnen it launched work on its new refer ence Bible were: What is a dragon? What did the ancients mean by cornets? When Is a room not a room in the Bible? The task of Bible scholars Is often one of updating the scrip tures. Our rapidly changing lan guage frequently leaves the Bi ble reader scratching his head over words like dragon, meaning jackel: cornet, actually Castanet, and room which can also mean a seat. The society recently Issued its first reference Bible, which has been in preparation since 1946. The new edition offers alterna tive translations based on older and more accurate Hebrew and Greek manuscripts than were available to the translators of the King James version more than 350 years ago. Also included is a host of words which have changed meaning In the intervening centuries. Thus, the reader may use the King James version but have many of the advantages of a mod-l crn translation and modern Eng lish.

Gordon Cos by, pastor of the Church of the Saviour In Washington, D.C, decided In 1958. This thought led to his radical step of slarting Potter s House cof fee shop in the nation's capital, where the non-religious feel free to mingle with church membersi in a worldly setting and ask reli gious questions. It was opened to the public in April, 1960. Potter's House is located in a storefront on a busy thoroughfare Lxiu GERALD F. KELSO Missionary Will Speak A missionary to Hawaii, Elder Gerald F.

A few years ago, some 250.- 000 Indian untouchables embraced Buddhism at Nagpur in possibly the biggest mass conversion in his tory, the Society says. the world, and shoppers and mo-1 vicgocrs drop in along with poets, beatniks, businessmen, scientists, and others from all walks of life Often they are unaware they1 are visiting a coffee shop operated by a church until they become in terestcd in conversations at near by tables. Some will return and listen for months before they ask a single question. Others will talk for hours an evening on many: subjects. Many find it just a good place to take a date. About 30 ministers visit the cof fee house each month, often tak ing with them their lay leaders and young people's groups. They come from other states and even from other countries to see what is being done here and how a new approach can be adapted to their congregations. When plans were being made to establish Potter's House, help came from many unexpected places. Ministers and prayer groups throughout the country sent in small contributions, and a man in Rochester, N.Y.. present ed a hi-fi set which he had built. Bob Manners, owner of twenty Big-Boy restaurants in Cleve land, made a special trip to Wash ington to give advice, including the invaluable counsel, "Do not skimp on lighting As a result, more than twice the amount planned was spent on lighting, making the walls suit able for an art gallery which has won praise from all artists exhib iting there. However, the overall atmosphere is one of quiet rustic beauty with a rock garden and pons in one corner.

But the radical right is still causing trouble for churches in some communities. And even in, areas where its influence has declined sharply, church leaders! are wary of a possible resurg-! ence. These observations are based on nationwide .survey conducted hy the National Council of Churches. It asked state and local church councils in all sections of the country whether they have detect ed any change in rightist pres sures, such as the "Commumsts o in the - clergy" charges which sowed widespread confusion and discord among U.S. religious bod les in 1962. Most Report Drop Of the 96 state and local coun cils responding to the survey, 52 reported a decrease in such at tacks. Fifteen others said they never had experienced any seri ous trouble. Fifteen councils said things are about the same, and 14 felt there has been some increase in right ist pressure during the past year. Among the areas reporting a notable improvement were several communities in Southern Califor- is devoted to a concordance con taining some 45,000 contest lines as guides to often-sought passages. There are 37 references, for exam ple, which contain the word "de light," hundreds for the word hand." scores of references which mention "peace." In addition, the authors have included eight color maps of the Bible land, viewed as if from an orbiting space capsule. An executive secretary ot tne Bible Society, the Rev. James Z. Nettinga, outlined the purpose of publishing the new scriptures This project was undertaken to meet the demand for an up- to-date King James version of the Bible for those who prefer itsl beautiful prose but also wish to have quick access to the modern equivalents of words which have changed meaning, or to transia lions suggested by the discovery of more ancient copies of t h e Scriptures. 'The Bible Society," added Dr Nettinga, "believes that this new volume will increase interest in' Bible study because of other1 unique features such as topical section headings, verses arranged in paragraphs for easier reading, and a new footnote reference sys tem.

In Phoenix, for example, sev eral congregations which were sDlit wide open a year ago are now reported to be reunited In Texas, another main center of rightist activity, a church lead er said extremist groups "are not as blatant now, and are working with less fanfare." He cautioned however, that "in a few sizeable communities, the extreme right remains a powerful force.' Still Trying Many of the respondents said that rightist groups are trying as hard as ever to stir up distrust of the clergy and the National Council of Churches, but church members are not listening to the attacks as uncritically as they once did. A report from Denver spoke of a more sane and balanced view by many church lay people" as the major factor in a generally calmer climate. A church official in Long Beach, Calif., said re sponsible church members are "wiser now about right-wing tac tics than they were a year ago More of the people at the grass roots level are beginning to see through the fallacies of these attacks," said a report from Wi- chita Falls, Tex. People in our churches seem more willing to look at the over all picture for themselves rather than take someone's word as au thority," said a church leader in Spokane, Wash. Not All Good Not all of the reports were op timistic, however. From Miami, Fla., the word was: "Little change here. ..Miami still remains a dan gerous place to mention 'Nation al Council of Churches.' " In Atlanta a church leader said that "right-wing elements really strutted their stuff" when a dele gation of Russian churchmen visit ed the city during March. "The minule our council takes a stand on race relations or some other controversial social issue the right-wing pressures are just as strong as ever against us. said a report from Oklahoma. Rev.

NEW YORK (L'PIl - A young Roman Catholic priest from India recently offered his First Solemn Mass in the parish of an American! family who had befriended him. He is the Rev. Prabhu Prasad. 32. of the Indian Missionary So ciety, who for the past tour years has been studying mission tech niques with the Paulist Fathers at St. Pauls College, wasmngion D.C. While en route to this country November. 1959. aboard the liner Queen Mary, Father Prabnu Prasad met Miss Margaret Roche of (542 Linden St.) Bristol, ra. He said Miss Roche, her brother Edward, and her sister, Cather ine, became like a second family to him, managing to discover his needs and frequently sending him money and gifts. One of the most useful, he said, was a typewriter to help him in his work. Most young priests go back to their home parishes to offer their First Solemn Mass but when the Roches heard that Father Prabhu Prasad would not be reluming to India for another year, they sug- ;ested their on parish for this mass. So, a week after his ordination in New York by Francis Cardinal Spellman, the Indian priest went to St. Mark's Church, Bristol, to offer the mass. During the next year before he returns to India, he will visit and work in various Paulist founda tions in the United States to see in practice the techniques of the Paulists in carrying out their apostolate. The Paulist fathers, started in 1858 by Father Isaac T. Hecker, a convert to tne catholic faith, are the first religious community of men to be founded in the Unit ed States. i Father Prabhu Prasad said the Indian Missionary Society became acquainted with the missionary work of the Paulists through Paul ist publications and decided to send one of their seminarians to the Paulists (or special study. The priest explained the challenge his Community faces. India is only 1 per cent Catholic. REV. P. D.

Therefore this advertise ment is sponsored to re mind you to be careful on your outings and, more im portant, to explain the haz ards of forest fire to visi tors coming here. A SPARK CAN BE A DEADLY MISSILE Sach a little bit of carelessness can cause such a great amount of damage. Loss of life, loss of vacation lands, loss of timber and watersheds can result from one cigarette thoughtlessly flipped from a car window, or one burning match dropped beside the road. During these fire hazard months, a spark of any kind can be a deadly missile. And every year, our forest areas become more and more viral to the nation's welfare. So be extra careful this year. Use your car ash tray. Douse your campfires. Be sure all fires are out, dead out. Be sure you don't cause a shameful forest fire. .
