An increase in the cost of bibles,
such as limited in reports recently
sent Nsout to mnay ministers, will
mean serious increase in the cont
of maintaining missions turnout the
country, according to Rev. Lucian B.
Wright of Chicago, who was in the city
the other day. Mr.. Wright Is a mem
Der of a society which distributes
thousands Of bibles to hotels and mis-
sions in the United States each year.
The paper situation means that the adj
ditional cost Of each bible will be in
creased to such an extent that unless
conditions change soon, 1t will be i'm
possible to carry on the work Of free
distribution, Mr.. Wight explained
Our average output Of these gospels
from which there is no cash income, Is
about 1000 volumes q year. They are
given to the poor who apply at the
missions for assistance and also are
placed in hotel ROOMS" Other religious
publications have been forced to APP
peal to the readers for solution Of the
problem of meeting the increase in the
cost of print paper. he said. Some of
the publishers OF the religious works
are either deferring issues or reducing
the number of pages. Missionary So
cieties that publish magazines are cut
ting the size and doubling up issues
