No translation of ‘these sacred writings into another language, ‘except by the original writers, Is inspired. In copying the in Splred originals by hand the element of huinan frailty entered i, and so none of the thousands of copies extant today in the original language are perfect duplicates. The result Is that no ‘vo copies are exactly alike. Since such has been the result with the mere handwritten ‘copies of the Scriptures, much ‘more Is It true that no version of them into another language by an Uninsplred translator would be Tt could not ac cirately render the precise meaning of the inspired originals. Especially. go, when the translation is made trom an imper: fect copy. From this fact arises the nood of a fresh transla lion ‘rom tme to time, as the better understanding of the original tongues, now dead, becomes possible and as the light Of the truth on the Inspired Scriptures becomes brighter. Pur ther, the progress of modern living language, with lts changes In meanings of words and in forms of expression, calls for a ‘ew, uptodate presentation to make the Seriptures fully alive and’ appealing fo the understanding. From the time of that Roman Catholle clergymen, John Wyelife of the fourteenth century, until the middle of this ‘wentleth century many English translations have been made of the inspired writings of Christ's disciples. All these have hhad their own commendable features, They have considerably ‘met the needs of the day for a rendering of God's Word in ‘the common language of the people, Much good has been ac- ‘complished by them and will yet be: But honesty compels us to remark that, while each of them has Its polnts of merit, they have fallen vietim to the power of human traditionalism: in varying degrees. Consequently, religious traditions, hoary ‘with age, have been taken for granted and gone unchallenged and’ uninvestigated. ‘These have been. interwoven Into the ‘ranslatlons to color the thought. In support of a prefersed re- liglous view, an inconsistency and unreasonableness have been Insinuated Thto the teachings of the Inspired weltngs Gales "Chana to antinglen them tom the pro Chretien Gree Stptuiet tation the fnepired eorow serptcs
