|dest of the Federal Land Bank of

downs occurred, the average reduc-
ton in each farmers indebtedness
was about 25.5 cents On the dollar
In connection with Commissioners
loans and about Is cents on the
dollar in connection with land bank
loans.
The amount of initial scale
downs varied from a few dollars
to several thousand dollars. depend
ing upon the amounts by which the
total debts of applicants Tor loans
exceeded the maximum amounts
which could be loaned by the land

f)iercely in the heart of 19-year-old
Regis Schwer that he determined
to leap 1000 feet from an airplane

Pilot Raymond Williams quelled
the blaze and oddly enough, the

He hit Regis over the head with

World Distribution OF
Bibles Is On Increase

,crossing the Andes at an altitude
of $4,000 feet.
In Africa, according to the So
ciety's report, translation work in
three dialects progressed, the New
Testament in Tetela, the revision
of the New Testament in Luba-
|Lulua, and the Gospels in Shilluk,
while the New Testament in Myore
was completed. New Testament
translation in both Quiche and Nam
for Indian tribes in Guatemala was
carried on. In the Philippines the
work was chiefly that of improve
ment of translations already pub
|lished, with revision work on other
dialects and the first publication Of
the Psalms in Samareno. In China
the revision of the New Testament
in the Hinghwa Colloquial was
completed, and in Turkey the re-
vision of the Old Testament for
publication in the Roman alphabet
continued to advance.
Announcement was made that
the latest statistics show that the
Bible or some part of it has now
been translated into 941 languages
and dialects.
The outstanding publication item
of the year was the Society's issu-
ance of a new series of self-pro-
nouncing English Scriptures repro
lduced from new plates from type
specially manufactured for the pro-
cess. Additional new publications
included also St. Matthew for the
Heres Indians of New Mexico, the
four Gospels and Acts in separate
volumes in the Bulu dialect of West
Africa, and the New Testament
and Genesis in Turkish in the Rom
an alphabet.
The Society continues to face
many publication problems in sup
plying Scriptures in from $50 to
Us different languages. When
Scriptures are needed for a remote
ribe the edition will likely involve
special technical processes. The
demand for Penny Portions at
times is so great that editions of a
million or more are printed at one
time. Frequently publication
must be in two languages in par
allel columns.
The American Bible Society is
in its 99th year of supplying en-
bossed Scriptures for the Blind.
1859 volumes, furnished at the
price of twenty-five cents
"a volume, were distributed from the
Bible House in seven different en-
boSsed systems. "A special aPPro-
|priation for charging the work
among the Society's foreign agen-
|cies was granted during the year
and the publication Of the Gospel
of St. Matthew and St. Mark in the
new Standard English Braille &C.
Cured, the first volumes of the
Scriptures to be embossed in this
system.
During the year the Society had
to reduce its budget because of a
shrinkage in gifts with the result
that operations were carried on I'M
der a budget more than 1920 lower
than that of 1880. In spite of
such limitations the year ended
without a deficit.

A distribution of 7,80O,766 BIZ
bles, Testaments, and Portions of
the Bible during 1888 in 155
languages and dialects and in more
than forty countries was reported
at the 18th annual meeting Of the
American Bible Society held at the
Bible House, Aston Place. on Thurs
day, May 10.
More entire Bibles were distrib-
uted by the Society in Brazil and
in the Caribbean Agency, and more
than twice as many in the Upper
Andes Agency than in 1882. In
Japan the circulation was greater
than in year since the organization
of the Agency in 1876, while in
China, despite internal disorders.
the various Scripture distribution
agencies circulated more complete
Bibles than in any year since the
beginning of evangelical effort in
that great missionary field.
Nineteen workers in Brazil trav-
elled more than 10000 miles by all
kinds of conveyances, visiting ap-
proximately $4,000 homes and
speaking to upwards of 10000 in
dividuals. The erection of two
new modern Bible Houses in Rio
de Janeiro and Tokyo during the
year aided in increasing interest in
Bible work in these two countries.
The reports of distribution in the
United States showed not only a
larger circulation han in 1882 but
also an increase of more than 500
in the circulation of entire Bibles.
Against this record stands the
statement made by of the So
ciety's workers who. in calling up
on nearly 5000. American homes
during the year, found practically
400 of the homes without Bibles.
In western state one family ad-
mitted that for four ge.erations its
members had been without a Bible.
In Cuba the political disorder
and strikes did not hinder the work
seriously. At the height of the
revolution when there were no
newspapers and no mills one COL
porteur sold twelve Bibles and 102
portions of the Bible in less than
a half hour. A series of drought,
cyclones, and floods in the eastern
part of Mexico gave the Society
agency an opportunity for a special
distribution among the sufferers,
while I'M one province, during a
bitter anti-religious persecution,
three of the Society's colporteurs
were the only religious workers of
any kind able to remain. In the
LaPlata Agency in South America
two Bible coaches purchased dur
ing the year were a large factor in
the work. In Paraguay important
work was done among the Bolivian
prisoners of war.
Scientific invention and progress
helped to counterbalance some of
the unfavorable economic condi-
tons. The radio began to be used
for a half hour weekly in Shanghai
to broadcast the Scriptures and to
describe the Bible Society activities.
A few evenings before Christmas
members of the Agency staff read
the story of Jesus birth owe the
radio in seven languages and dia-
lects. In eastern Bolivia and Peru
new government roads opened up
formerly isolated and dangerous
territories. Automobiles are now
penetrating from the Pacific Coast
