Material to Over 100000 Pastors to Be Supplied By

Washington, D. C., Dec ST am happy to give my endorsement to the setting aside of December B as Universal Bible Sunday" writes President Franklin D. Roosevelt to the American Bible society in his annual endorsement of this ob- servance which is sponsored by the Bible society and will be celebrated in tens of thousands of churches throughout the country. These days of crisis have brought strain and anguish to American homes, but they have brought also quick ened sense of the strength which religion alone can give to our people"
 "The crisis of the world today is a moral crisis. The essential war is war of values, and the stake for which mankind is contending is the right to be free. The Christian con- ception of man created in the image of God, that tradition of human freedom and dignity which over many centuries has gradually achieved democracy as its secular expression, is challenged today by the Nazi conception of man created in the image of the beasts of the field. We are defending humanity against systematic and calculated brutalization. We are fighting to make the future safe for decency and brotherhood.

Bible is the repository of the moral and religious teachings of our vest ern tradition. It is book not for a day or a week but for eternity. Tn the great moral crisis of ancient Israel the prophet Isaiah cried out, They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint
 Tn that spirit we shall fortify our souls for the uncertainties of the future. With that spirit sus- taining us, we shall not falter and we shall not fail.''
 For over two decades the Ameri- can Bible society has sponsored the annual observance of a Sunday in December as Universal Bible Sunday, supplying material to over O,000 pastors to aid in this cele- bration. The theme chosen this year is watch Your Scripture Reading"
 As in every time of crisis, the Bible society finds, the American people are turning to the Bible. Bookstores are with difficulty main taining their stocks of the Sacred Volume, and publishers are run ming their presses overtime. The hunger for the bok on the part of our armed forces is unsuitable. The American Bible society, which has supplied the Scriptures to Amer icas fighting men ill every war since the war with Mexico one hun dred years ago, has just placed its second order for 2,000, 900 New Testaments specially prepared for the nations forces. They are com- ing from the presses at the rate of 10000 or more a day and even then the orders from the chaplains can- not be promptly met; 25,000 for the head chaplain with MacArthur' men in Australia, five hundred for the Army and Navy in Aleutians, another five hundred for chap lain somewhere in England" who ministers to our boys in a great hospital there, are but few of the many requests reaching the Bible society.
 America is probably better sup piled with Bibles than any nation on earth. Last year again. as III all recent years, the sales exceeded $. .OOO,0OO copies of the Bible or parts of it. These were purchased IT sixty four different languages. The distribution this year will un- doubtedly be much greater thar last, and possibly the greatest 1T our nations history.
 The stumbling block here is that olr people do not read the Bible They honor it: they respect it; they buy 1t; but they do not read 1t Many in these tragic days are turn ing to it afresh; and it is the hope of the American Bible society thai l the practical elements in tht celebration of Univarsal Bible Sun day in the churches on December l3 will encourage these and many others to make the earnest reading of the Bible one of their regular habits.
