By W. A. S.

THOSE who are placing our publications in the homes of the people are fostering Bible study; for these publications challenge the reader at every page to go to the fountainhead of truth, the Word of God. But it must be that in many a home there is no Bible. At the recent annual meeting in Virginia, Brother V. O. Punches, who has charge of our book work in that conference, told us of a conversation with one intelligent and educated lady.
“What church do you belong to?” he asked.
“I belong to that big church on the hill,” she replied; “the fashionable church; where they don’t have any religion.”
She had been a Sunday-school teacher, but had never studied the Bible, and had not a copy in the house. Now she is reading our literature, and we hope the Word of God also.
The experience suggests the need of watchful care to get the Bible itself into every home. This is made an important feature by our workers in Catholic and non-Christian lands. There is no book like “the Book.” It is the best of all publications to sell. It is the same blessed treasure, beyond all price for value, that it was when Waldensian merchant missionaries carried concealed portions of it in manuscript, watching for a chance to place the words of life in the hands of the people.
