C o n co rd an t V ersion o f th e B ible We do not usually mention books in these columns which we do not endorse,- but so many inquiries h av e'b een received about th e above, pu t out by the “ Con cordant Publishing Concern,” Los An geles, th a t we feel it necessary to define our position. As to the boasted Hebrew and Greek scholarship, some w idely recog nized scholars in these languages declare th a t some of the translations in this v er sion are exceedingly faulty.

Stillion, former superintend ent of men of the Bible In stitu te, has brought fo rth a small work of inestimable value in dealing w ith th is disputed ques tion of the -two genealogies presented by M atthew and Luke respectively.

The genealogies are compared in the most strik ing way, and facts are brought out which' reveal the unm istakable work of the Holy S p irit in inspiring the two records. M atth ew ’s genealogy is shown to connect Jesus w ith the throne rights through Joseph and Solomon, and L u k e’s genealogy connects Him w ith the n atu ral rights through M ary and N athan, thus bringing the two Davidie lines to gether in Jesus.
