the audience did not wane for even
the briefest moment.

IS USED
To ENCOURAGE
Bible READING
Bureau Formed to Promote Publ
cation Of One Verse OF Scrip
ture Daily

Cincinnati, Ohio, May AT an
expense of one dollar for every NIL
lion readers, the Back to the Bible
Bureau of Cincinnati, is getting
one verse of scripture daily printed
in about one thousand American
newspapers and magazines. It's
total daily scripture readers are
estimated at 10000, 900 now, two
years after the bureaus inaugura-
ton.
A goal of 10000, 550 bible verse
readers daily is announced, with
a five year program to make it eff
fective.
The bureaus idea is that daily
reading of one bible verse makes
for good citizenship, and that the
best pulpit through which to
reach all persons is the daily press.
The Organization is non-sectarian,
it's daily verses going to publica-
tons Of all faiths, free of charge,
and not only newspapers but to
trade journals, and to society and
labor publications.
How the idea started and its
rapid growth is described by George
w. Hartzell, a Dayton, Ohio, manu-
facturer, an advisory member Of
the bureau. The chairman is
James N. Gamble of the Proctor
and Gamble company.
The bureau was inaugurated two
years ago by Addison Y. Reid o.
Cincinnati, who is now its secre
tary. He had been conducting {
propaganda for prohibition, send
ing daily contributions 10 a mum
Der Of newspapers, and paying foI
their publication. With the adop
ton of the prohibition amendment
Mr.. Reid stopped that work, bu
decided to try campaign of bibli
cal verse.
At first he paid for the publica
ton of daily bible verses just tn,
same as he had paid for the propa
ganda. The verses went to only /;
few newspapers. After about 81.
months paid publications, othe
newspapers, becoming interested

and alley committee of the city
council, explained that the city
wanted the use of Mr.. MERGERS
equipment and therefore recon-
nended that the Mercer bid be ac-
cepted. Mr. Mercer stipulated in
his bid that the city would be al
lowed the use OF his trucks and
wagons for other purposes than
hauling garbage, during the time
they were not engaged in making
collections,
The three other bids were re-
jected.
Reappointment of all city en-
ployes, with exception of street
commissioner and motorcycle po-
tliceman, were confirmed by the
scouncil last evening. Appointment
/ of the street commissioner and mo-
ltorcycle policeman will be deferred
until next meeting.

and discovering that Mr. Reid WIS
furnishing the scriptnral quota
tions, asked him to supply them
also, Offering to make publication
without charge. Thereupon Mr..
Reid stopped paying for insertions
OF the verses, and the present bu-
reau was inaugurated.
Spent S10,000.
Mr.. HartzeH said that in these
two years the bureau has expended
SIC, 900, all OF it for printing and
postage, as there are no other ex-
penses. all the work being volun-
tarily done by group OF Cincin-
natl residents. The response to
the bureaus latter offering the
scriptures have been uniformly
from all sections of the country,
Mr.. Hartzell stated. The daily pa
pers now publishing include As in
Canada and publications in Hawaii
the Philippines and Korea.
Many papers have been putting
the daily verse at the head of the
editorial column, but not all.

Hartzell, sis running the verse
completely across its daily comic
page. When Iasked the editor why
he chose that POSITION, he replied
