the Bible and commentaries upon it.
+. Two Bible societies, one in London.

100000 copies of the whole book or

are similar societies in other cities and
countries, and many private firms have
printed Bibles for commercial profit. T.
But for the work Of these societies
we might never dream that more than
563 languages or dialects are spoken
and read in the world. The London
society alone has used that number.
Only about one-third of all the Bibles
