FORWORD

The Bible has been called the text
book Of American civilization. It
"has entered, as a sort Of lifeblood in
to the history, the tradition, the ideals,
the literature, and the very Thought
fiber of the civilized world"
A knowledge of the Bible is an es-
sential element in good education
Whether or not one is interested in
the Bible as manual of decotion, it
is imperative that he shohld be ia
maliar with it as a literature and as
a history; for no history and no lit
erature have more vitality affected
Anglo-Saxon civilization. English lit
erature has been greatly influenced by
Biblical style and is strewn with il.
lusions to Bible stories and teachings.
Shakespeare is said to have over sew
en- hundred such illusions; Tennyson.
over four hundred AS Charles Dud-
ley Warner put it: ''The Bible is the
one book that no intelligent person
can afford to be ignorant of. All
modern literature and all art are per-
smeated with it. 1t is not all ques-
ton of religion or theology or dogma:
it is question of general intelligence.
A boy or girl at college in the pres.
ence of the works set for either to
master, without a fair knowledge of
the Bible is an ignoramus, and is dis
advantaged accordingly"
The Bible is the t'best seller" among
all books. The continued demand for
copies of the Bible is extraordinary.
In 1917 the American Bible Society.
the British Foreign and Bible Society
and the National Bible Society of
Scotland issued 1907 PIP copies of
the scripture.
And to these figures the number is
sued by The Scripture Gift Mission
and other firms and Societies and it
is estimated that the number of copies
each of which contains at least one
complete book of the Scripture issued
yearly will approximate 30,000,000
The total number of volumes circula-
ted in the last 100 years exceeds 600,-
100000. There are editions of the
Scriptures in TBS languages and dia-
lects. The Complete Bible is trans
slated into and printed for use in 140
languages. During the last ent years
portions Of Scriptures have been is-
sued in New Language on an aver
ace Of every six week.
