The Truly Greet Marvel of the Ages
The wonders of the space age sometimes overshadow what is
a truly great marvel of our times: the extraordinary progress
of Biblical scholars towards a revelation of the true meaning of
the Scriptures.
Utilizing all the tools of science, projecting vast archaeological
explorations, tracking down the meanings of words through un-
marked bypaths of antiquity —<
dedicated scholars Wiave en
riched man’s spiritual heritage
by this never-ending search to
reveal Divine truth! Their
crowning work is the Revised
Standard Version of the Bible.
The RSV Bible was projected
when it became apparent that
earlier versions were out of
date in many respects. Through
the years, hundreds of word
meanings had so changed from
former days as to distort fun
damentally the true meaning
Si many Biblical chapters. Then
00, discoveries of documents,
records, and Biblical manu
scripts older, and more accu
rate, than those available to
early translators, provided mod
ern scholars with more precise
meanings of words # which had
formerly been merely guessed
at, or roughly deduced.
It was in 1937 that 37 schol
ars, upon authorization of the
International Council of Reli
gious Education, began a major
revision of the Bible that
. would utilize all the latest re
searches arid discoveries. In
the fall of 1952, the Revised
Standard Version was finally
published, the result of 15
years of intense labor.
Now, eight years and eight
million copies later, more than
100 different styles and bind
ings are available to satisfy
varying needs.

the day, Santa Claus float. The
children went wild with joy
when Santa greeted them with
kisses and waves. Some of the
kids even jumped on his sleigh
and rode around to the Court
House Green where the party
was held.
The youngsters received the
usual bags of Christmas goodies
at the party, after which they
waited in line for a few minutes
chat with their favorite man of
the year.
Frank Roberts of Edenton ra
dio station WCDJ acted as mas
ter of ceremonies for the event..
Three prizes were awarded fori
the best floats. The Edenton |
Woman’s Club took first prize j
and $25.00 for the best float. I

tion were the Edenton Post Of-1

Empty Stocking
Fund Explained
Continued from Page L Section 1
now prefers to make up its own
list of worthy recipients for toys
and other gifts given to children
under 12 each year.
The toys are repaired through
the thoughtfulness and generosi
ty of local firemen and citizens
of both town and county are re
quested to take items to be re
paired there as early as possible.
Merchants are no longer solicited
for funds to add to the effort,
but contributors from anyone are
requested to be given or sent
to the president, Alex Kehayes,
care Saint Paul’s Episcopal
Church, Edenton.
Last year 198 children were
provided a Christmas through
the Empty Stocking Fund even i
though funds were scarce. In
the last 10 years Christmas has
been given to over 2,000 chil
dren.
It is important to note that
most families assisted live in the
county, but that less than 5%
of the funds contributed have
ever come from the county. It
is also important to know that
most families assisted are Negro
families and yet no contributions
are ever received from this
source. In a generation that
apparently has come to believe
"It is more blessed to receive
than to give” these facts should
be taken to heart in the proper
spirit.
The Empty Stocking Fund
does, and always has, given
freely regardless of race, resi
dence, or church affiliation and
the young people of the Young
Churchmen's group are to be
commended for their continued
work and generosity.
Those who in the past have
come fer their Christmas baskets
and toys, dressed in warm cloth
ing and driving automobiles, are
asked to examine themselves to
determine when last they gave
to someone else.
Yes, the Empty Stocking Fund
requests your contributions, but
it prefers to make its own list
of worthy recipients.
Women have learned to shed
tears in order that they may lie
the better.
