The Bible Society translates' the scriptures, publishes and distributes them in nearly all of the 1,350 languages into which scriptures appear. Over 100 million copies were distributed throughout the world in 1968. There is a shortage of scriptures in many eas of the world due largel the expanding demands and 'invited financial resources. The increasing demands for scriptures is forcing the Bible Society to cut down drastically in the time taken for translating and publishing." Electronic machines are being pressed into service and intensifiied' training programmes embarked upon to "meet the demands. Smaller selections of the Bible are- published as soon as translation work is commenced!
