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".
