Bibles for Seamen at Panama Canal

The American Bible Society plans to put up in Balboa, at the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal, a $30,000 building from which Bibles will be given to the passing seamen. The plan is to give every sailor passing through the canal a Bible in his own language. The society will ship to this station 10,000 Bibles printed in 127 different languages. In this work the American Society follows the action of the British and Foreign Bible Society in its distributing work at Port Said, on the Suez Canal.
