With this idea in view, Mr. Witham, et bra own ohangee, arranged with two noted artists to go out to the Holy Land in order to petit the moonily plotures for repro- ductless. On their return, our friend sot to work and the Scripture Gift Mission was hounded In the year ]588.

Nearly all largo esbdbltens, In various parts of the world are visited by agents—in most cases honorary workers --of rho mission, and In this way thousands of people ora presented with a copy of a portion, at least of the Wont of God. Another branch of the pork Is that of sending out the Gospels to all parts of the world in the specially Illustrated form which dietingulsbes the editions of the mission. The lifetimes were drawn In order to throw Boot on the sacred page as well as to 01 - (riot people to peruse R. It Is Impossible to estimate the results, but the letters which Mr. Walters used to receive from all quer- (ere testify to the attractiveness of these "Scripture Gifts,' and demonatrute the value of the work. 3dr.

The tllnstrattuus prepared by the mission are bound up with the well-known 'Oxford' Bibles. These Bibles have been very favorably reviewed; In fact the press Isunanimous In expressing Praise of this admirably illustrated BIb1,. There Is no doubt, Indeed, that the marked thongs which has come over the method at fituatrata:4 tbo Scriptures was largely brought about by Mr. Walters. It may be a surprloe to many to learn ?kat the number of Gospels, Bible and 'per - limn,' circulated by the joint misolons has amounted to more than thirty-three and a half millions of copies, while the number of Scripture teat -cords and smaller portions of the Word of God has been nearly sixteen and a Lal( millions, How many souls by this moans 'Imre been led to the Saviour, none can tell.
