American Bible Society Annual Report

The eighty-sixth annual report of the American Bible Society shows that its issues during the past year were 1,723,791, an increase of almost 170,000 over the preceding year. Over 1,000,000 copies of the Holy Scriptures or parts of them were distributed by the society in foreign lands in nearly one hundred languages. The society has hundreds of colporteurs and agencies in this and other countries, giving Bibles to the poor, and selling them to those who are able to buy. It has completed its translation of the Bible into the Tagalog language, and its colporteurs in the Philippines are pushing its distribution.
