ciety has issued the following appeal:
The American Bible Society for nearly eighty
eight years has pursued its single aim Of circu-
lating the Bible without note comment in this
and all lands. For this purpose II has been con-
ceTEed IN securing TRANSACTIONS OF the Scriptures
IN nearly hundred languages. j sustains q
close relation TO the Christian churches OF the
United States : the ally and helper Of their mis-
Sion work home and abroad, ana as such de-
serves and receives their support. But. IN ad-
ditior the effects OF It's labor have been very
marked upon our whole civilization. TO have cir
cuiated. as il has done. seventy-two million Bibles,
TestanneLts portions thereof is 10 nave power
fully contributed the moral health OF the world
The social fabric Of modern states has no surer
foundation than the Bible, especially in a republic
Ike ours, which rests upon the moral character
thoughtful doubt that 10 decrease the
circulation and Of the Bible among the peo-
pie would seriously menace the highest interests
OF civilized humanity.
Inasmitch the work Of the society is IN danger
Of being seriously crippled from lack Of funds, its
appeals for aid should generous response
from all who love American Institutions. We owe
a debt 10 the Bible which be partly paid now
by carving forward this great undertaking with
increased ViZoT.
