PAGE TWELVE BIBLE SOCIETY HEWS By MARY ALLRED Kiabtr of Womon’a Speakers ■areas. American Bible Society Jose is only one of the millions of newly literate adults who are now able to read the. printed page for the first time. HaVing struggled through some elementary primers, he will want to read the Scriptures in his. mother tongue, bttt unfort unately the language' of the traditional forms of the Scriptures in the Spanish language. is too elaborate in style and much too difficult in its grammatical forms to be fully comprehensible to a person such as Jose, who is only now beginning to read. But something can be done for Jose, for the basic truths of the Scrip tures can always be ex pressed in simple language, particularly selected, pas sages which are relatively free from complex terms and difficult grammatical structures.

What meets Jose’s needs, however, is not satisfact ory for men like Elder Martinez who are accus tomed to the traditional forms of the Scriptures and find beauty in the style of the revered langu age. Moreover, they are concerned with the needs of the church, and feel that the public reading of the Scriptures needs to be in an elegant language. But the forms that sat isfy Jose and Elder Mart inez will not meet the re quirements of a young university student like Francisco, who has often thought of the Bible as a collection of ancient leg THE CHOWAN HERALRjIPENToIf.

But if the Bible is -to be rele vant to him, he insists that it be in strictly con temporary language and have such marginal helps as will make it possible for him to understand something. of its historical background and the manu script traditions which un derlie the differences in various translations. Hence, for Francisco and thousands of univerity students like him, a new form of trans lation must be considered if the Word of God is to speak to them. The stories of Jose, Martinez and Francisco can be repeated over and over again, in language af ter language. In the early days of translation, the translators were concerned with geographical dialects, but today dialects are prim cipally socio-economic, rather than geographical. jAs a result of national education programs and the general spread of literacy and literature, new prob lems have arisen. From the new to the so phisticated university stu dent, thefre are three lev els of learning.

THOMAS Immanuel Baptist Church THE HOUSE OF SAND Take your Bible, please, and open it to .St. Mat thew 7:24-29. How-, many build their house''upon the sand? There are two kinds of people here, the wise and the foolish. There will be storms in our life but will the house still be standing after the storms have passed? Satan want ed you to build a house tbatj».will pot .island, for God that will * not wit ness— that will not fight sin or speak out against it—that will not warn sin ners about hell and the terrible price that they will have to pay. Our salvation should be upon the blood of .Jesus who died for you. Have you accepted him? Is your doctrine upon the Bible or does it came from men? If we build our. house up on anything than Jesus, we are in trouble. I ask you, “is your house built upon sand or rock?” The Bible .says: “shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand.”—Matthew 7:26. To Bad “My -wife has been Jpursing a grouch all -the week.” “Been laid . up, have! you?” Let's Go To Church Sunday Sunday School Lesson THE CALL TO REPENTANCE International Sunday School Lesson for April 16 Memory,Section: “Repent, and be baptized . every one Jbf you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”—Acts 2:38. ' Lesson Text: Acts 2:22-24; 32-19. The theme of our studies today is REPENT ANCE and the healing power it brings to our troubled souls. Through repentance of our sins (no matter how grave- those sins may be) we are renewed in Christ. Personal witnessing, by dedicated Christians, and effective preaching by those ordained to the ministry and a life of service to Christ can bring this wonder into the lives of every human being upon whose lives they touch. The sermon of Peter at Pentecost is—from beginning to ehd—a call to repentance. And in it—if we but study it closely and earnestly— we can find the igUideposts for an effective wit nessing for Christ. - The Resurrection of Christ from the dead and His ascension into heaven had left their mark on His disciples. So much so that they could not fail to be moving in their declamations to the populace on the promise of a life everlasting, assured by God’s sacrifice of His only Son, that their sins might be forgiven and (they would come to a state of Grace if they but embraced the concept of Christianity. And who was in more need of forgiveness than those who had turned away from Jesus during His earthly ministry, and had tolerated His crucifixion on Calvary? Certainly in the light of what transpired after the crucifixion was an accomplished fact, many of them had suffered doubt and a sense of guilt in their in nermost beings. The message carried by Peter at this time must have been of immeasurable comfort to these troubled souls. By acquiescence in the ignominous death nqeted out to the Saviour of mankind, they 'werq guilty of a most henious sin. But God, in His wisdom and compassion, had .made provision in His plans for the sins ■of inort#l. men; through the shedding of Christ’s fnan was cleansed of sin. For, though Jesus might be crucified by un believers, ’He could ndt be destroyed. He lived on in the dedication pf His disciples to God’s plan for mankind. For certainly no one who knew these men could fail to be impressed in the change that had come over them. Fright ened and confused by the crucifixion, they had first fled into hiding, rendered useless by the many unanswered questions which most cer- MHWfcpHiM them- Then thay -sfdlied, and stood staunchly side by side to proclaim their faith in a Leader who was no longer with them ih the flesh.

We’ve only seen Meg hold this sol emn expression once before, when she was a freckled angel in the Sunday School pageant. •. and then she wasn’t quite so cross-eyed! Meg's trnr darling adopted daughter, and usually she’s a little livewire ... full of surprises. It was Meg’s enthusiasm for Church School that led us to improve our own record of church attendance. It was Meg’s searching question, “Why don’t we ever thank God for dinner like the Andersens?” that revived the custom of mealtime grace in our home. And it was Meg’s worry about “the poor hungry children’’ that eventually drew us into our work for the Mission Fund. Frankly, we used to be “fringe Christians,” giving God very little of our time or thoughts. Meg was God’s instrument in showing us that our church really needs us ... and that it is a blessed thing to be needed. artwh.SwMwr.
