Work of the British Bible Society
THE British and Foreign Bible Society's alliance with foreign missions, it is said, was never more intimate and indispensable. One example will serve to illustrate what takes place in almost all non-Christian countries. Our Egyptian agency last year supplied nearly thirty different missionary societies — British and American, Swedish, Dutch, and German — with the Scriptures which they required. Across this picturesque and polyglot field, which extends from Malta to Mozambique, and embraces both Aleppo and Uganda, the missions of Anglicans and Presbyterians, of Friends and Methodists, of German Lutherans and German Evangelicals, besides a number of undenominational societies, have all alike drawn their munitions from our stock. And here, as elsewhere, through this means, the books have passed into the hands of the people practically without cost to the missions themselves.— Bible Society Reporter.
