FIREMEN SAVE BUILDING - As flames destroy a nearby storage barn on the Northern Pump farm, Ringwood and McCullom Lake roads, firemen fight to save a nearby building. They continue to pour water on this smaller barn to protect it from the intense heat and sparks. The two firemen in foreground keep a fine mist on the other volunteers as a matter of protection. The fire, of undetermined origin, occurred early Sunday morning. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Snow- Mobile | News !

His letter, of which I have a copy, contained only 196 words. But those 196 words set in motion one of the great publishing feats in history. You see, Wendell Belew, who lives in Atlanta, Ga., thought that many people, especially new readers. find the Bible difficult to understand. In fact, he tested the King James Version, and found that it ranks considerably higher than the reading level in which most people are comfortable. So he wrote the American Bible Society in New York City, suggesting a new version of the Bible, say on the fourth grade level, the new literates and persons with language backgrounds other than English, might understand. When his letter arrived on the desk of Eugene Nida, Dr. Nida turned to Robert Bratcher and said, half- joking, "Here, Bob, do a Bible for the Southern Baptists!" But the project was no laughing matter, for at 9 A.M. on November 23, 1965, Bratcher translated the last verse of what has come to be known as "Good News for Modern Man." Instead of being a "fourth grade Bible," Good News has grown in such popularity that over 44 million copies are in print. Persons of all intellectual backgrounds have benefited from this easy-to-read New Testament. And now, steps are underway to translate the Old Testament into the same, readable style. But I tell this story, not just to focus on one of the more readable versions of the Bible, but as a reminder of the power of a single letter, or a single phone call. Maybe just a 196-word letter. Or only a two-minute phone call. Never underestimate the power of your own words, however poorly or crudely expressed. It's always nine o'clock. T It.J. Hastings is editor of The I l l i n o i s B a p t i s t in Springfield insight American Viewpoints by Larry Swaim MUSICAL CHAIRS "Dear Mr. Swaim: My hus­ band can't settle down to a job. He goes from one to another like musical chairs. We have no security and it's really getting to me. I some­ times think I'm going to lose my mind." Your feelings of insecurity are understandable, but don't forget the nature of life itself is change. It is true that some people want security more than anything else, but secu­ rity at best is temporary. The Bible teaches, "Ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away." Let me hasten to say that a man should be willing to find and develop a good job respon­ sibility. Your husband, no doubt, needs to learn that there is no perfect job, that every responsibility has its assets as well as its liabilities, its good points as well as its bad ones. As a Christian, though, you should remem­ ber that the Bible speaks of being, "Strangers and pilgrims on earth," [Hebrews 11:13], We have no permanent home here. We are looking for that city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. The only security we can ever find is to be found in Jesus, and by putting Him first in our lives, other oppor­ tunities and responsibilities will fall into place. For a confidential and Biblical answer to your ques­ tions, write Larry Swaim, 985 Ponce de Leon Avenue, NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30306. In tiny Ilohtical <•ocirty, partus air unavoidable.
