From manuscripts such as these; from
the Latin version OF the fourth century;
from manuscript trsnslations Of the Bible
into Coptic, Syriac and other languages
dating from the sixth century, and from
the writings Of the early Christians Of
the second century comes the Bible Of
to day.
The home Of the University Press is a
great quadrangular building, or series Of
buildings, erected in 1880, and laid out
in the usual college form with a square
court OF flowers and grass in the center.
The composing rooms Of this place are
it's most wonderful feature. There are
fonts Of type for the printing Of the Bible
in 800 different languages, comprising all
the known tongues Of the past and pres
ent. There Is Bible for every savage
race on the face OF the globe, and the
wonders Of composition represented by
some of them would stagger the ordinary
printer.
For instance, there is now q piece Of
type. setting going on which was begun
in 1868, and 1t won't be finished until the
twentieth century is we'll under way. II
is little brochure In Peshito Syriac for
the use Of old manuscript students. The
compositor works over case containing
1000 boxes, each with it's separate char

require ten. With a thousand boxes be.

with machine-like rapidity, and his fin
gers often fall into the wrong box. Since
this particular task was begun, thirty
three years ago, thirty one Of the hun
dreds Of compositors engaged upon it
have passed to the great beyond.
The number Of Bibles turned out daily
averages 5000 the year through. Some
are little and some big, and with bind
iDgs of all kinds. Mistakes seldom get
into any of these millions Of Bibles, for
there is a standing offer Of guinea to

Toward the end Of long edition the
