The task of spreading the light is not complete, how ever, since revisions of the Bible are urgently needed in scores of languages especial ]y where languages' arc m process of rapid change as the result of unprecedented social, economic and political developments. For numerous other people, Gospels must soon be followed by New Testaments, and where there are New Testaments, full Bibles are increasingly re quested. Millions of people as yet have nothing of the Word of God in their own language, and there is a tre mendous amount of work still to be accomplished, since these people represent more than 1.000 mutually un intelligible languages and dialects.

He must analyse a complicated grammatical structure, mas ter the meanings of tens of thousands of words and be to m e thoroughly familiar with the beliefs and practice of the people. Only then can he translate the Word of life in such a wav that, in turn, can. be translated in to life. If, for example, he en deavors to learn the Cuzco dialect of' Quechua, spoken by about one, million Indians in the highlands of Peru, he must distinguish six different k-like sounds, three of which are pronounced in the cen tral part of the mouth and.i three very far back in- the mouth. These six different k’s are the only distinguish ing sounds in the words of “cloth,” “blanket,” “bush,” “medicine,” “hillside" and “mud.” In many languages of Af rica a slip of the tongue pro duces serious misunderstand ! ing. In on? African langu age, missionaries pronounced : an “n” with the tip of the tongue against the upper teeth, when it should have i been between the teeth. As ] a result, what missionaries were saying about. • God’s | “Son” was understood by the •people to be a reference to ; God’s “ox.” Many so-called primitive languages have extremely complicated grammars. Far example, in- the Bit®- langu age of Peru, spoken by about 2,(100 people in the eastern jungles, the word for a count oil is actually “jemanslunb kankakjetikakaya,” a word, made of seven different parts 1 and meaning literally “a I place where people reciproc ally hear one another’s thoughts.” A language such as ,Piro can readily construct as many as 50,000 diffenent forms from a single verb root making jome of the verb constructions of Greek and Latin seem very simple in comparison. ! Though many people have | assumed that strange langu- < ages spoken by primitive ’ peoples would have unuspal < sounds and difficult gram- J mars, they are usqally astpn- < ished to loam that such j languages also possess thous- < ands of words. The isolated j Han imp’s people on Mindoro - Island in the Philippines do J not have names for hundreds i of automobile parts, but j they do have names for more i than 1,800 different plants; \ even professional botanists < distinguish only about 1,300 \ varieties. * The light of the Gospel is < never transmitted by mean- < ingless mutterings, but only j by the clear expression ofV truth in the lenguages of jj men. Only then can the < message become the Word of jj life —when it is translated* into life by men and women | who understand its living < truth through words which J speak to their own lives. The American Bible Soci- J ely is continually at work, < helping missionaries and oth- j ers translate and revise the < Scriptures in many langu- j ages, publishing them in in- < expensive missionary an d j evangelistic editions and dis tributing them in more than 130 countries. As the agency of the churches to carry on this worldwide mission of the written Word, the society needs vour prayers and gifts. This la The Life By DONALD A THOMAS FOR A SEASON There are four seasons in a year, spring, summer, fall anil winter. We are in a. season now when we can ex pect a lot of snow, ice and cold weather. It’s nice to look at it from a nice warm room if you don’t have to go out in it. Snow does make a beautiful picture only it is slippery under foot. Winter doesn’t last long and spring is right behind. Our lives are short and death is right, behind. God gave us the rig h t to choose between heaven and hell. We can laugh at sin if we want to, but what are you going to tell God? God has given us signs for days and seasons and the signs point to the, I return of Christ. Are you ready if He should return today or tonight? The trouble with us is we use God only when we want Him and the rest of the time we put Him on a shelf. Let us choose Jesus as our savior and fight sin. Sin brings only one thing—death. The Bible says: “Choos ing rather to suffer afflic tion with the people of God, then to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.”—Heb rews 11:25. the CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THtfeSDAt, FEBRITART 3, 1966.

LIVING SPIRIT International Sunday; School Lesson for February 6 Memory Selection; “By this we know that' we abide in him and ho in us, because he has given us of his own spirit.”—l John 4; 13. Lesson Text: John 16:7-15; Acts 2:1-4; Romans 8:9-27; I John 4:13t21, Today the purpose of our lesson is to encourage adults to fully understand and wholeheartedly respond to the leading of the Holy Spir it, the essence of which dwells within, us. In the verses which com prise our Scriptural read ings, Jesus is warning his disciples that the road ahead was to be a difficult one for them; that in their loyalty to God they would face perse cution and suffering at the hands of those who opposed the Christian doctrine. Jesus, however, offered them a comfort and strength that they did not at that time fully understand, sor f he promised to send the Spirit, who would be their guide, who would lead them to the truth, and who would be their Comforter. By the Spirit, humanity was to live; without it, they would perish, and would not know the full meaning and joy of the Resurrection. To live by the Spirit was to overcome death. • The Spirit is an integral part of the Christian belief; the Holy Trinity is accepted by all true believers. God is the Father, who created heaven and earth, and all things therein; Christ is the Son, sent into the world •by God to redeem mankind; the Spirit is God the Comforter, at work hi the world. Three separate functions perform ed by one Being, just as sight, sound and smell are part of one human body, to choose a parallel. The Spirit is around us and within us, wherever we go, giving us courage, in sight and strength.

It flowed from his being all through his brief life on earth, manifesting itself in the loving concern he felt for the people, in the patience with which he dealt with unbelievers and betrayers; it reached out to those who tried, and stumbled and eve'll fell-—urging them on- to new courage, new hope even greater heights. And as we face the catas trophies and calamities that; befall us in our lives todayi the Spirit is with us, givipg us that same courage, that' same faith, that same hope. Even if we should waver in our faith; the Spirit does not desert us. Intangible though it is. it is our anchor and our shield, if we but have the tenacity of mind and heart to strive on. Some have been fortunate in knoiving a great emo tional experience, as did Paul on the road to Damas cus, and latter-day 1 eaders in the Christian faith, but to most of us our experiences are quieter and less spec tacular. Paul braved the hardships of the desert, thp ignominy of imprisonment, the pain of many lashes, to proclaim his message to thp world. Many of our saintly and dedicated fellow beings in contemporary times face untold hardships in foreign and hostile lands to pro claim that same message of hope and glory today. Their lives, as Paul’s, will go down in history, while ours may not. But if just a few of the people we encounter dup ing the course of our lives remember us for a helping hand in time of need, ap earnest, loving concern mani fested in their lives, we will have made our life mean ingful on this earth. Thp Spirit at work within us will have shone through, and thp world will he a better place for our having been there.
