canvasses area
During the first and second

the Wingham Branch of the Can-
adian Bible Society Will be busy
knocking on doors in the area tQ
raise funds for the Society's work
providing the scriptures for
churches, missionaries and the
people of 150 countries in the
world:
The 56 Bible societies of the
world work together to translate
the scriptures into the language
of the people, and print and pub-
lish it. This year they planto dis-
tribute 300 million ` Bibles, test-
aments, gospels and scripture
selections.
The annual ;distribution by the
Canadian Bible Society is now
about three million sdriptures in
75 languages. This involves work
with Indians and Inuit (Es-
kimos), new immigrants, ports
visited by seamen from many
countries, scriptures for the blind
in braille or recordings, Bibles
for the evangelical outreach of
the churches.
Since one billion ple in the
world have an annual income of
$100 or less, in most countries the
scriptures must be provided at a
fraction of their cost, or free. The
contributions of Christian people
make all this possible.
