BIBLE THE BEST SELLER.

In the popular discussion as to the
books which are the best sellers, few
people are likely to consider the Bible.
According to a magazine, which has
delved deeply into the question, the
Bible leads all other publications in the
aggregate output and sales.
Annually there are issued 1900. 600
Protestant Bibles, Testaments and
Testaments and portions" such as
the Psalms or the separate gospels.
These are made in more than 500 lam
guages and dialects.
OF this large number of Bibles TO-
100000 are published by different So
ciettes-and sold below actual cost,
financial profit to no one.
The remaining 10000 are printed
commercially and yield a handsome
pront to the publishers. OF the 10000
600 printed and distributed by char
ity-almost 100000 are used by the
American Bible society-and over T.
100000 are used in similar organiza-
tons in Great Britain.

North Dakota Political Gossip

Minot Democrat: II the scramble for
congressional honors Alfred Blaisdell
seems u be keeping still--but there
is no question but that he is saving
wood. Mr.. Blaisdell is keen polite
ian and usually looks into the future
before stepping his foot into II. He
knows that he has hosts of friends
throughout the state and when the
proper time comes they will leave no
stone unturned 20 forward his interests
He has made fine record In the Of
fee OF secretary OF state and Is well
known TO the people OF North Dako-
Ia. We predict that Alfred Blaisdell
will cause other candidates many
sleepless nights when the campaign
is fairly on.
The Democrat Is sorry that some Of
the Ward county papers are knocking
the candidacy Of Hon. James Johnson
for congress. Mr.. johnson is one OF
the pioneers In this section of the state,
Is successful attorney and business
man, a friend to all who know him and
just as much entitled to the respect
Of the newspapers as any man eve
elected to congress. The Democrat is
not supporting any individual for con-
gress at the present time but we be-
lieve in speaking OF men as they de-
serve and North Dakota has no better
citizen than johnson. II we do not
support him It. will be because we
have a personal preference among the

won't knock" Jim.

CHRISTMAS TIME.

James w. Foley, poet laureate OF
North Dakota and a talented writer in
prose, had the following editorial SEN
timent in The Bismarck Tribune that
is worthy of careful perusal Of every
Forum reader:
Christmas is The universal festival
Of Christen lom. 1t is the anniversary
Of the birth of the first teacher Of the
religion that bears his name the gent
lest, sweetest, kindest, most gracious
soul in all the history of countries and
peoples. He brought a new teaching
to little world of people, twenty CEN
turtles ago, and the kindness and sweet
ness and grace of it to all countries
and all people, destroying old faiths
and raising new standards of living
and action. His life and ministry and
crucifxion are with time and history.
but the spirit of His teachings and the
grace of His religion, live forever and
for all time and eternity.
Charity, human ity, forgiveness, kind
ness, clean heartedness, faith, uplook-
ing and uplifting-tnese are some of
the 7tenetts of the faith He brought us.
and which has gone on and on for
beamed in Galilee so many centuries
ago bright ned and grown brighter.
until its radiance has shone' over the
world, lighting it with the grandeur
Of love and sacrifice, and bidding men
go on and continually on. bearing the
gospel tidings of love and sympathy
and soul sweetness
And after all, what a simple faith
and r ligion it was and is, and what
wonder that in all the storm and stress
OF human emotions and passions, of
ambitions and desires, of happiness and
disappointment, of striving and fall
ing of achieving and pursuing and
struggling, the light of it has contin-
ually shone as a beacon to the buff
feted and weary and distressed. What
wonder that the sweetness and grace of
it win their way into our hearts as
the smile of a child beats down the
harshness and roughness of age and
bitterness, making life sweeter and
cleaner for its presence and remind
ing us perhaps of the far away coun~
try of innocence and simplicity from
which we have strayed and to which
the teachings of Christ, the crucified
would lead us back, cleansed and
made pure.
To love with sincerity and single
heartedness, to be kind and judge not
to walk uprightly and humbly in what
ever station we must be, faithful and
good, fear not to do good for the sake
of doing good, and to do right because
1t is right in the sight of God and
conscience; to look about lest there
be some unsuccored and in need; to
receive with thankfulness and to
share with generosity; to make much
of content and not too much of riches;
to esteem good fortune as a blessing
to be shared and to seek in misfortune
the seed of selfhelpfullness and growth;
to labor with zeal and to account with
honesty for the talents with which
we have had to labor; and the Christ
mas spirit is in and of all of these.
