Bible Circulation

By Editor

Bible Circulation.—It is good to know, in the midst of the infidelity of the world, that the British and Foreign Bible Society for the last year circulated the astonishing number of 7,899,000 volumes of the Scriptures. The Bible Society of Scotland for its last year records a circulation of 2,359,985 volumes, and the American Bible Society 4,049,610 volumes, a total of 14,308,595 volumes circulated by the English-speaking people all over the world. Besides this, there is the commercial circulation of the Scriptures by the great Bible presses, Oxford, Nelson & Sons, the International, and others, and the continental Bible societies. Thank God that the Bible goes, notwithstanding all that men may seek to do against it. A little note from the American Bible Society tells of the circulation of the Bible in Bulgaria. One of the great factors, it tells us, in the awakening and progress of the Bulgarian nation, has been the circulation of the Bible.

"The last fifty to sixty years this wonderful book," says a native Bulgarian teacher, "given us in our native tongue by the British and Foreign Bible Society and the American Bible Society, has been freely distributed among our people by thousands, and has been read with eagerness by thousands."

Bulgaria needs the prayers of God's people at the present time. Humbled, broken, and dejected, with worldly ambitions thwarted, now is a good time to bring before them the hopes of the ages, that never can be thwarted.
