We all knew Ten thousand Russian Bibles should be in BY PASTOR HARRY VRIEND, TRINITY CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH In Psalm 139, I read, "Thou didst form my inward parts, and Thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb." That comes from the Bible which Christians ac- NAINI TE=R'S gTUOY what the law was; we knew that Dr. Morgentaler admitted to breaking the law; and we expected that he would be convicted. It was a blow to hear that the jury would not convict him of a crime. We know that there are many others doing the same thing that he did. We know that those others are operating within the law, even if that law is opposed to Psalm 139 and many others part of scripture. Still we ex- pected that the law would prevail. In this case, we expected the law to come to the defence of the defenceless. But we were greatly disappointed. The power of evil proved to be stronger than we expected. We were reminded that we easily under estimate the power and in- fluence of Satan. Just when we think that finally there will be a case where the unborn will win a battle, then a jury decides that the law is too narrow and the man should go free.

Printing of the Bibles began in October and all efforts are being made to get them finished and transported to Russia before the year is out. A team of printers in Stuttgart, West Ger- many, set up their machine October 25 ready to start printing the Bibles. They put on a new pallet of paper, did a few test runs, made some ficial adjustments, and then began the printing. The paper arrived at the Stuttgart factory from Manchester England. There are long delivery delays for thin Bible paper in Europe at present, and a firm in northern England was the only one able to supply paper of the right quality in time. For this number of Bibles, 532,000 sheets of paper are being used. Each one measures 66 x 88 centimetres (about 26 x 34 inches). Laid in a row with their longest edges touching, the sheets would stretch for about 351 kilometres (218 miles).
