The SPREAD OF THE BlBLE.-The
sixty seventh annual report Of the Pennsylvania
Bible society (which has an auxiliary in this
county, contains some interesting facts and
statistics relating to the work Of that organi1a-
tion. The society was Instituted IN 1893, and It's
province is specially the State of Pennsylvania,
where, by an efficient agency, under the super
vision of two district secretaries, much has been
done in the organization of societies, charged
with the collection Of funds for local and for gen.
eral distribution, and with the purpose of hav.
ing all the families in the State supplied with
copies of the Bible, as well as aiding in sending
these sacred records throughout the world. The
receipts Of money during the past year have been
less than usual, owing to causes that are too we'll
known to require repetition. Tho circulation
during the year was 27,7il Bibles. s7,793 tesla
