REFERENCE BIBLE After 17 yean of research and itudy, the American Bible So
eiety recently issued its first reference Bible. 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. The final quarter of the volume

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

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.
Sculptors and other craftsmen
also exhibit there, and readings
and plays are part of the coffee

The church's effort to reach neo-

to the establishment of Potter s

is given to emotionally disturbed
people and alcoholics, and a sub
urban branch church in the base

of a member couple in Maryland.

Klgm - wing pressures wmtu
threatened to disrupt American
t.srtasi churches have waned during the
past year.
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.

temporary as possible in binding

nia and Arizona, where churches
were perhaps more seriously de
moralized by controversy than
anywhere else in the nation.
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. Philip D. Chamberlain, ex
ecutive secretary of the Massa

In his present appointment,

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.

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

send one of their seminarians to

priest explained the challenge his

your outings and, more im

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. . ' '
