Scriptures Printed in Over Four Hundred Languages

THE British and Foreign Bible Society reports that at the beginning of the nineteenth century the Scriptures, in whole or in part, were printed in only thirty-five living languages, whereas the number now is over four hundred. With few exceptions, the great languages of the world have the entire Bible; thus the Word of God is given in the speech of seven-eighths of the population of our globe.—Missionary Herald.
