MILLIONS OF BIBLES
SOCIETY'S GREAT WORK To keep on publishing millions of copies of the same book year after year, and constantly adding to its variety of languages, which of recent years has never been by less than ten a year, is the amazing record of the British and Foreign Bible Society, reports the society. For 128 years this great missionary organisation has been issuing a steady stream of Bibles in increasing quantities. For the year ended March 31, last, the society was able to place more than 10,500,000 copies of the Scripture in the hands of the peoples of the world; this in a year of unparalleled economic distress and widespread political and social unrest. It printed tho Gospel in eleven fresh languages, eight of these were for African peoples, one for -Asia, one for South America, and one for Oceania. These additions bring the society's language list to 655.
