Bibles.

By Editor

Owing to the great discount on United States' money in Canada, and the high duties, a bill of English Bibles amounting to $100, will cost from $200 to $225. These Bibles cost us twice the amount of their cost one year since. Add to this a fair business profit, and the prices of English Bibles are carried up very high, too high for the poor.

We decide to obtain a large supply of American Bibles immediately, and sell them out at cost for the benefit of the poor. The prices will range from 65 cents to $1,50. Then obtain a good supply of English Bibles, the prices of which will range from $1,50 to $3,50. At present we have for sale only a few copies of the English Bible, nonpareil, marginal reference, at $2,25, postage 21 cents.
