"Translations"
There were four clergymen who were discussing the merits
of the various translations of the Bible. One liked the
King James Version because of its simple, beautiful English.
Another liked the American Revised Version best because
it is more literal and came nearer to the original Hebrew
and Greek.
Still another liked Moffat's translation because of its
up-to-date vocabulary.
The fourth minister was silent. when asked to express
his opinion, he replied, "I like my mother's translation
best."
The other three expressed surprise. They did not know
that his mother had translated the Bible.
But he assured them, "She translated it into life, every
day of her life, and it was the most convincing
translation I ever saw."
