Bibles, Bibles!

Bibles, Bibles!—Mr. Henry Froude, publisher to the University of Oxford, England, tells us in The Sunday School Times of Jan. 14, 1899, that "the Oxford press alone sent out approximately 500,000 complete Bibles in the year 1875, 650,000 in 1876, 700,000 in 1885, 900,000 in 1890, and five years later the yearly output reached 1,000,000. The other Bibles produced in Great Britain would probably amount to twice as many more, while it is well-nigh impossible to estimate the number that are being printed in America and other parts of the world." Praise God for this. Let us pray that humanity may receive that Word and be saved by its blessed message of life.
