The American Standard Edition of the Revised Bible
MANY of the readers of this paper have availed themselves of the opportunity of securing one of these Bibles. We feel confident that many others will appreciate this American Edition when once they have it for study. To those who do not know about it, we will say that it is the Revised Version of the Bible as approved by the American Committee on Revision, and it has but recently been published. Of its value, the editor of The Signs of the Times says: “The most perfect translation of the Bible into English there is in the world.” The Northwestern Christian Advocate says: “There can be no doubt that in this version we are nearer the thought, and therefore the spirit, of the Master than in any version now existing in English.” REFERENCE BIBLE, BOURGEOIS TYPE (same size of type as is used in this notice), American Standard Revised Version, with Scriptural references, topical headings, and marginal readings; size, 5¼ by 8 inches.
