Williams' New Testament Translation Is Best Seller ML C. B. WILLIAMS tWed to mo popular of hi* own New Testa ment translation written in the language of twentieth century Aroeawns and with "no antique words to clutter it," . a retired Southern educator and preacher at 82 feels that his long career of scholarship has been rewarded. . He li Dr Charles B. Williams, who since learning latin declen sions 95 years ago while following the plough on hi* lather's North Carolina farm, rose to become president of Howard College in Birmin^sam and faculty member at such schools as Baylor and Mercer Universities and Southwest em Baptist Theological Seminary. The fruit of his scholarship which has brought him the most happiness in his retirement here is the report of the Moody Press in Chicago that his translation "The New Testament in the Language of the Common People," has gone into its fourth printing and stands to tank as a "Best Sel ler" edition among religious volumes. The aging theologian, author of a dozen other books also, recalls that it took him more than 20 years to turn out the New Testa ment revision from the original Greek text, and that he started the mmlMj task only after one of Ms seminary students heard blm criticize some of the acwfted translations and suggested he "turn out a better one." At the peak of his working years. Dr. WiUtems carried a full teaching load at the seminary in Waco. Texas; preached regularly every Sunday; and Shut himself up for several bouts each night with his translation and writing projects During his years of ministry he also continued his owji graduate studies, receiving his master's and doctor of philosophy degrees from Che University of Chicago, After 14 years at Baylor and Southwestern Seminary, Dr. Wil liams accepted the presidency of Howard University in 1919. later becoming professor of New Testa- j ment interpretation, at Mercer Univers^y in Macon, Ga His con cluding period of ministry was ki Union University, Jackson, Tenn., beginning in 1935, and since 1946, \ he has been in retirement both from preaching and teaching. | Although conservative in bis theological position. Dr. Williams has not been left behind by the modern trends in education, and points out that at Union he taught both sociology and psychology. | "Life has become so complicated Brasstown Mr. and Mrs Claude Burnett of Peachtree were guests of Mr. and Mr*.

A lifelong Southerner, Dr. Wil liams traces Ms ancestry back to Roger Williams, earliest exponent of religious tolerance jn America; William Williams, one of the sign ers of the Declaration of Independ ence; Sir George Williams, found er of the Young Men's Christian Association; and William Bray, a charter member of Old Shildh church the oMest Baptist parish in North Carolina, organized in 1727. (Now a partial invalid, the man who was licensed to preach at 17 and whose first teaching job paid him $20 a month, is satisfied as Che twilight of Ms life approaches. "I wanted the butcher, the cow boy. the cabdriver, the housewife to have the New Testament in the English expressions they know and use every day," he explains, and then quotes with feeling from a letter received foam a reader of his volume who simply said: ''Dr. Williams, you have put the manna down where we can reach it."
