twenty-six Bibleless houses. At the same
time Mr.. Carter canvassed Limerick, Linz

tering 1913 houses, finding thirty eight Bible:

nine were withOutout Bibles. In one village
of thirty-four houses seven were Bibleless:
In Easton, Mr.. Carter visited settlement OF
log huts Of one room each. Six of the ten
families we're with the Bible. in such re-
mote and isolated settlements our society
finds the conditions for its most efficient SER

Christian agency. where the gospel preacher
is never heard. The most discouraging town
visited was Frenehville, a French Catholic
town of 375 families, of which 375 were with
out the Bible; 275 of the families do not at
tend church. Two five cent copies of the
Bible were sold here and it is hoped the
