UNITY SCHOOL PREFERS THE AMERICAN REVISED BIBLE Many people today cling to the old or King James' Version of the Bible because it is endeared to them by association. We prefer the Revised Version because it clears up so many obscure passages, and gives force to many weak ones. The Revised Version is prized by all of those who want the truest statements, regardless of the weakened creed and theology that may result from having the light of Truth thrown on the old Version. Some twenty thousand errors were found in the King James Version by the Revision Committee. Quite a number of these are mentioned in the Preface of the American Revised Bible, which is brought out by Thomas Nelson and Sons. Let us note this one instance: Under the Old Version we are commanded to "search the Scriptures," and the impression was always conveyed that in them we would find "eternal life." The revision changes the whole character of the passage, and instead of a command by Jesus to study the Scriptures, we find that he was re-. buking the Pharisees for doing that very thing. He said, "Ye search the Scriptures, because ye think in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me." "But the witness which I receive is not from man." Instead of commending the study of the witness," or testimony of men about spiritual things, Jesus would have his followers open to the Spirit of Truth, "who will lead you into all Truth.' The American Standard Version of the Teacher's edition of the Bible is printed in large, easy reading Bourgeois type, on imported Bible paper, with full references. Concise Bible Dictionary and Combined Concordance (or word finder) prepared especially for the American Version. Contains twelve colored maps and 25 outline maps through the text. Size 514 by 8 inches; weight 3 pounds 2 ounces. Another attractive feature about this Bible is the binding. We are able to procure a limited number in that excellent Keratol binding. Keratol is a beautiful and durable vegetable composition. Unity School of Christianity will mail one of these Standard Revised Bibles to any address for $3.50. Serene will be our days and bright, When love is an unerring light, And joy its own security. -Wordsworth. |
