Pace Two The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday. December 3. 1952 Hilj li The official student publication of the Publications Board of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where it is published daily, except Monday, examination and vacation periods, and during the official summer terms. Entered as second class matter at the post office in Chapel Hill, N. C, under the act of March 3, 1879. Subscription rates mailed $4 per year, f)50 per quarter; delivered. $6 and $2 25 per quarter Editor Managing Editor Business Manager Sports Editor WALT DEAR ROLFE NEILL JIM SCHENCK BIFF ROBERTS Night Editor for this issue: Louis Kraar The Rev. Jones Charles Jones is a Christian. His Christianity and the Christianity of his congregation rise above the tenets of de nominationalism. His preaching is the kind that sinks in, the kind that makes sense, the kind that makes religion a practical, intrinsic affair for many who wouldn't ordinarily have any thoughts about religion. His real Christianity transcends the denomination. What is important to any thinking Church official? Divi dends gained from an unorthodox (in the technical sense) but thoroughly Christian approach, or listless conformity to rules, which produce so-called order, but do not produce alive Christians? My views on the theological aspects of Presbyterianism are limited. But what Charles Jones has done for me and others is to present the problems about Christian faith, to discuss and suggest answers, to awaken my interest, to strengthen my belief. As a Presbyterian, I am concerned with the affairs of Presbyterianism. I am concerned with the problem of the Church's relation to the community its place and partici pation. To me, the Church should be not just a place for weekly communicants and Sunday Christians. Rev. Jones has made his church a rich center of spiritual life. What higher tribute can the Commission pay Mr. Jones than this: that the Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church "seems to depend for its vitality, to an unusual degree . . . upon the person of its minister . . . whose humility and devotion to humanity are at once a personification of true religion to its members, and the ideal towards which they strive." Mr. Jones does represent the true Christian spirit and sets a good example as all good ministers should do. I realize that the Commission thinks the denomination isn't stressed as much as other aspects of the Christian experience, but doesn't the Commission consider the total imprint of the Presbyterian minister and the Church's program on the minds of students, faculty, and townspeople, more important than technical impression which may be disputed by theologians. The Commission is throwing away a vital, growing religious community. For it to shake the foundations of this church which has meant so much to students particularly, is a dis service to the community. Is this not a case where the stress should be laid on the total results and the genuine Christian approach rather than on the stricter, more narrow approach? I wonder if the fact that Mr. Jones is a man actually practicing Christianity and the implications involved in such practice is more of concern to the Commission than his theo logical reasoning. Is the Commission recommending a resig nation because of his views on problems confronting us all, or on other grounds? Listen to this philosophy of religion which is printed on the weekly Church bulletin: "Our bond is a seeking of the mind of Christ and the will of God for our lives and the life of the world. "We aim to have toward others unqualified good will. As God sends His mercies on the just and unjust, we will show our good will to the grateful and the ungrateful, the friendly and unfriendly. "We will have absolute confidence in God. Our faith con sists not in conforming to ritual nor in intellectual assent to a creed, but a serene experience of our fellowship with the Unseen God Revealed to us in Jesus Christ. Giving ourselves primarily to seeking His will on earth, we can be confident about lesser matters."

This time it's in the field of anthropology. Living evi dence has been discovered in Rocky Mount which proves con clusively Darwin's theory that man is descended from a loWer animal form namely, the mon key. - During the past ten days, a minister in Rocky Mount has taken a strong stand in opposi tion to the new "Revised Stand ard Version" of the Bible. Hav ing made his objections known at an earlier date ("I object to the attempt to eliminate the doctrine of the virgin birth . . . I reject the modernistic in terpretation of the Revised Standard Version . . . there is a Jew on the committee"), the minister, Mr. M. Duther Hux (rhymes with Klux) burned a copy of the newly translated Bible at Sunday services held in his church. This I call small-time stuff! Hold a meeting to burn just one books? Why I can remember tales of real pep rallies held in Germany not too many years ago. Those were the days when an exhibition was an exhibi tion! No one-Bible bonfires for them. No sir! It was every Bi ble in the city, then all torches to the library, followed by a short riot for the massacre of all available Jews. I believe that if I were in doubt as to the accuracy of the Revised Standard Version, I . would hesitate before voicing my opinion as vociferously as has Mr. Hux. For the fact re mains that the International Council of Religious Education, representing forty Protestant denominations and countless leading theologians and schol ars, has labored over the Re vised Standard Version since 1929. But then again, I can readily understsand Mr. Hux's concern over a Jew on the committee supervising the work. Every one knows that in studying an ancient manuscript written in Hebrew, it is indispsensible to have a student of Lower Slob ovia as translator .and in terpreter of the work. I don't know it for a fact, Mr. Hux, but I'd be willing to wager my old King James Version against any spare copy of the RSV you might have that when the com mittee undertook the transla tion of the Greek manuscripts, it even had the audacity to re quest that Greek scholars study the manuscripts with them. Obviously, Mr. Hux is not a man easily won over to "new fangled contraptions" or ideas. For when one discovers a word (the Hebrew word meaning "young woman," in this case) that had been mistranslated previously, does Mr. Hux favor its correction? Certainly not! What was wrpng enough for Mr. Hux's pappy is wrong enough for Mr. Hux. What concerns me most in the statements Mr. Hux has made, however, is his opposi tion to any change in religious thoughts or concepts. Too many people today want the latest Cadillac when it comes to transportation, but are content for their religion to travel in a long-since outmoded Model T. One's religion should undergo 'growth and development con stantly, just as does every other aspect of one's life. Naturally, there are concepts in religion, as there are in other phases of life, which will stand the tests of time and never change, but in no instsance should Truth be burned on the altar of Tradition. -Pace- (Continued from page 1) voting rights for 18-year-olds.
