 With all the competition Of the age or books the Bible is the best seller in thc world today. More than S5.00O0 0oO copies are distributed annually.

The Bible is translated into $50 different languages and dialects There are >12 editions of il for the blind ! alone. The legions read it because t0 | them it is the supreme guide Ia life death and the great hereafter. One Eibl. society has put 35.O00 Bibles in hote rooms in New York, from the best hoie down to the cheapest lodging houses. l Do you know of any other book in the world that would appeal to all thes. 1 races, classes, ages and conditions2 To you know of any other book that woui. interest the most uneduoated and th, most highly cultivated alike?
