A New Field for the Bible.
| BH|lI BEagu,u,,,.: - s5

A pile of small boxes was shipped out
Of New York on March - on a ,ong
and winding journey of 1..UcO miles to
the virtually unknown people Of a very
tiny land. In the boxes We're .Ooo Bibles
in thsDdialect of the Gilbert Islands. a
wee cluster in the wide seas of Aus
tralasia, ard they represent the life
work of the late Rev. DR.. Hiram Bing-
ham. Never before has such a monu-
mental translation into the Gilbeltese
text been achieved ana perhaps none
other than the famous missionary trans
lator could have done =. The entire eN-
pepse of printing, packing, shipping and
distribution Will De borne by the Ameri-
can Bible Society.
The preparation and packing was
elaborate. Poison was worked into the
covers of the Bibles to protect them from
insects: in snug packages of twenty the
books were soldered up in tin to prevent
damage by water; fifty trebly strength
ened boxes. inclosed in cases OF the
strongest tin, completed the packing
From New York the Bibles will go to
Sydney, Australia, there to be reshipped
to Ocean Island and Apa.am in Micro
nesia- Ocean Island is only d mile and d
quarter in diameter. II is on the very
dropped from San Francisco a full 5.Wo
miles due southwest would hit it. The
Bibles are to be taken there because it
is very rich in phosphate and ocean,
going vessels call there frequently.
On this little speck of earth Richard
in Australia, will meet the Bibles, and
with them go forth on d venturesome
voyage of distribution to the other
islands OF the Gilbert group.
