PR IME MINISTER • PREMIER MINISTRE

Ottawa, May 19, 1966.

Dear Mr. Bathe: As members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church open their 50th quadrennial World Conference in Detroit, I would be most qopreciative if you would convey to all in attendance cordial greetings from the Government of Canada, together with my own very good wishes. I am deeply conscious of Adventist interest in and efforts to promote religious freedom through- out the world. In those efforts, your Church in Canada has very wide support. I wish all of you renewed vigour with which to continue these and other church activities in the service of God and man. With kind regards, Yours sincerely,

Pastor J. Willian Bathe, President, Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada, 1148 King Street East, i fi 1 Oshawa, Ontario. • 1 From Tripoli To Tehran D. L. CHAPPELL, Secretary Publishing and Sabbath School Depts. Middle East Division of SDA Beirut, Lebanon

NEW YORK — Translation of the New English Bible has been com- pleted, and publishers expect the volume to be in bookstores by late 1969 or early 1970. The New Testa- ment portion of the New English Bible was published in 1961 and promptly became an international best-seller. Nearly six million copies are now in print. The team of trans- lators, all British scholars, recently finished the Old Testament portion, including the books of the Apocrypha. Their work is now being reviewed by a panel of literary experts to ensure that its English is idiomatic and grace- ful. Following their appraisal, a final scrutiny of each verse will be con- ducted by leading authorities on the Hebrew language, to be sure that the translation reflects the exact sense of On the week end of May 14, the Simcoe Church experienced a very wonderful investiture service.
