DISLIKES EDITORIAL ON TRANSLATIONS
After reading your editorials and the “Reader Reactions” in the September issue concerning the New English Bible, one wonders how the church ever managed to survive during the 1600 years before the King James Version came into being. It is difficult to understand why so many people are reluctant to dispense with the “ghost” stories and the all but unintelligi ble English of this archaic translation. Isn’t it difficult enough to persuade modem sophisticated mankind to read the Bible without placing unnecessary obstacles in their paths? And is not much of the insistence upon this version merely “Laying aside the commandments of God, (to) hold the traditions of men?” (Mark 7:8). Many of the things those who defend the KJV insist must be preserved were never in the Bible in the first place. They seem to think that because the KJV says some thing, it necessarily is in the Bible; but this is not at all necessarily true. —I believe if the critics of the new trans lations had as much respect for the Word of God as those making these new transla tions, they would be declaring it instead of disclaiming it; and if all the zeal that is now burning against those who are en deavoring to make the scripture plain were used to proclaim the Gospel, the church would begin to look much more like the victorious army Jesus Christ sent her to be. This is the King’s Business! J. Paul Boaz, United Presbyterian Church, Wilton Junction, Iowa WRITES OF APPRECIATION We do appreciate the very great im provement in THE KING’S BUSINESS and it is a profit to us, as we read its pages. Rev. Ralph Blakeman, Director, Mission to the Migrants, Los Angeles, California “ PARSONAGE ROOF" APPRECIATED I especially enjoy Mrs. Althea Miller’s column in your publication, “Under the Parsonage Roof.” They are wonderful peo ple. I missed them so much when they moved from Roanoke. Mrs. A. P. Hammond, Roanoke, Virginia TH E PERFECT HUSBAND? I read in your column by Dr. Narra- more about a “perfect” husband. Heaven could be a difficult place for such people. The more we see our imperfections, the more we glory in the wonderful grace of our precious Redeemer. An old brother said, “I will wonder when I find so and so in heaven; but I will wonder most when I find myself there.” Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me, and may His meek ness teach me how proud and imperfect I am.
