A beautiful gold -covered Bible will be presented to the management of the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, at a special function on Saturday, April 23. Travellers, hospital patients, prison inmates and many others are aware of the activities of The Gideons but few know how this organization started its world-wide operations. A bedtime conversation be- tween two rhrictian salesmen, who were sharing a room in a crowded hotel, led to the found- ing of the well-known lay move- ment in 1899. Today there are 22.700 members in 73 countries; 2,150 of these members are Ca- nadians, organized into 169 local branches, called Camps. Members work quietly and unobtrusively in their commun- ities, seeking to give s iri•tnal and moral uplift to others. Gideons, themselves, voluntar- ily provide about 30% of the Canadian budget of $400,000. The balance comes from inter- ested Christian friends and through the operation of a memorial Bible plan. The first Bibles were placed in a Canadian hotel by the Gid - eons in 1911. By 1952 the first million •copies had been distrib- uted. The three millionth mile- ston was reached in 1961, in- dicating the ceaseless activity of this modern Gideon army. Internationally, four million Scriptures are distrubted yearly. A major program in Canada involves the annual presenta. tion of more than 200,000 New Testaments with 'psalms and proverbs to grade five public school children. And thousands of Bibles have been placed in the dormitory rooms of college and university students.
