IN SIX HUNDRED LANGUAGES.
The British and Foreign Bible Society announces that it has passed another milestone in its endeavour to bring the Scriptures to all peoples. By the addition of seven new versions since March last it has now printed portions of the Scriptures in 600 different languages. At the beginning of the century the number was 363, so that 237 fresh \ ersions have seen the light during less than 28 years. Recently in one calendar year 14 new versions were issued, and at the present time several are in type, and will shortly be issued.
