OCR Text	Show NEW BIBLE Modern English Edition Is Planned The division of Christian education, educa-tion, National Council oft The Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., announced a revised edition of the Bible will be ready for distribution by September 30, 1952. The new Bible will be in clear, modern English, with words of more modern usage substituted for words which long ago lost their meaning. Although there is some minor opposition to another revision revis-ion the council is expected to proceed pro-ceed with its plan. The new revised standard version ver-sion will go to press after scholars complete the translation of the Old Testament. Translation of the New Testament was completed in 1946. The revised standard version was first authorized in 1937 by the council's predecessor
