CHANGES IN A CENTURY.—

In 1777, a committee of Congress, who had considered the matter of printing Bibles for this country, reported that neither proper types nor paper could be procured for the purpose in this country. In 1867, the American Bible Society reports that it has printed twenty-two millions of Bibles and Testaments in 49 languages, and that it has 23 power-presses constantly throwing off the word of God. Add to this the issues of the American and Foreign Bible Society, the Bible Union, and all the other enterprises, individual and otherwise, for publishing Bibles, and what a change we have in this single particular!
