To the Editor:
This year marks one hundred
and fifty years since the British
and American Bible Societys
were founded. And the real
credit must go to a little Swear
old Welsh girl who, in 1892,
saved her pennies for 6 years to
buy a Bible. Her name was
Mary Jones who lived in the tiny
village of Llanfihangel on the
west coast of Wales. Bibles
were scarce, especially those
printed in her language. Mary
walked alone so miles both ways
barefooted to the village of Bala
to purchase the Book and on the
way her tired mind remembered
the words of the 121 Psalm she
had memoriZed in church years
before, 81 will lift up mine eyes
unto the hills, from whence
cometh my help" she sang. Then
when she arrived and found no
Bibles available she shed tears
until the minister let her have
one that had been promised to
another.
Mary Jones lived in the days
when the accoutrements of civil
zation were vastly different from
those of our time. Quill-pens
were the universal instruments
of writing. Industry was barely
beginning to use steam power.

volved about alleged defects in

Nuevo housing project for which
! Mr.. Long was the contractor.

nesses testified. The jury got
the case Just before noon yes
