increase during the latter With the coming of the new translation, the American Standard Bible, new feature Of Bible-selling was introduced, and the publishers have estimated that in one field of use alone 19, ,O00,oOO Sunday school scholars and study classes are using the Scripture in that form, and over 300 styles have been demanded, varying from pocket bible to the largest pulpit form.
 Numerous other translations have also been coming to the front, such as the famous Twentieth Century New Testa- ment and the Modern Speech New Tes- lament One of the most interesting, from the point of distribution, has been the very recent translation by James Moffatt which has already passed it's sixteenth edition, The Young Men s Christian association has lent it's prestige to that of the original publisher in se- curing this great distribution.
 Many remember how the great sermons of Phillips Brooks obtained tremendous vogue in every type of bookstore, and there have always been coming to the front preachers whose ideas are demand ed in print as well as from the pulpits One of the most dramatic cases of suc-

cessful religious book publications has been the series by Harry Emerson Eos dick on "The Meaning of Prayer" ''of Faith,' "of Service,' of which a half million copies have been sold within the few years they have been published
 Another interesting feature of the best seller among religious books is the long, continuing and steady sale of many of the titles, books that may not be heard of in the most general book stores. but which, year after year, must be printed in thousands to meet the steady demand Such a book as c. A. Olivers ''Prepara- ton for Teaching" is sold to total of 35S. GOO One of the Rev. Archibald Alex ander's books published in 1SSs The Way of Salvation" is still in steady de- mand to date, as was his Thoughts on Religious Experience" which came in 1S41 J. R.

10 solve his problem. A missionary once stood before a little shelf with 15 or 20 great books He was living in land of the darkest and dreariest evil As he looked at the books which glowed with the best Christian living of 20 centuries he cried, If 1 can keep these in my mind, organism will never it. The world gets to be too much for all of us, as well as too much with us. And the Christian ages are to be speak ing to us all the while in the great books which have come forth warm with the vitality of the spirit of Jesus a work in the world"
 You think that any mans environ ment may drag him down unless he meets it with an inner environment which is full of moral and spiritual power?" l asked.
 Just that said my friend And nothing is mightier than good book in providing this new inner environ ment."
 John rose and began to walk about the room.
 Nothing amazes me more than the ter" he said. The old masters of the saddle-bags carried books about with them. They knew that if you can guide mans reading you can keep him steady and safe and strong. Today we have no really serious attempt to bring the good book and the man who wants to be a good man together. If every man who is beginning the Christian life would read two great Christian books Ia month we could transform America in a quarter of a century. If one great book is the sword of the spirit there are no end of good books which have their own place as trusted weapons. Books form the air for the breathing of a mans mind, The man who lives :n good books will come away from the books to lead a good life in the matters which are external When mans work ing hours are shortened the one impor tant question has to do with how he spends his extra time. If good part of it is given to noble books all is well | with the man, and as far as he goes with the mans land. It is the leaves of good books which may be, said to bring about the healing of the nations.

 We don't often think, of religious books" as best sellers" but sales on the Bible alone, if a complete report could be made, would outweigh every other demonstration of book distribution, but although the totals are lost in unrecord- 1 ed millions, recent demonstrations of the | continuing demand are constantly com ling to hand The King James and Doua versions run steadily on by the million
