That was the start of the work of the Gideons —the Christian Commer cial Men's association—who have'* placed more than 1,250,000 Bibles In hotels and hospitals and jails and other institutions in the intervening years. The idea started In September, 1897, when John H. Nicholson, of Janesvllle, Wis., arrived at the little town of Boscovel, Wis., late In the evening and found the hotel crowded. ' S. H. Hill, of Belolt, Wis., another drummer, offered to share his room with him. Out of their conversation devel oped the Idea that a Bible placed on the table of each hotel room might 4"' help other men to spend their, eve nings profitably. When they met again the following May at Beaver Dam, they continued their discussion and decided to call a meeting and present their Idea to all the traveling men of their ac quaintance. The meeting was held July 1, 1899, In the Y. M. C. A. at Janesville. W. J. Knights, who lived there, was the only other drummer at the first con- y ventlon. But they decided to go ahead, and elected Hill president, Knights vice president, and Nlchol- ' ■on secretary-treasurer. During their meeting they read the chapters of Judges, which relate the Story of the Israelite leader, Gideon, and when they came to name their new association, "The Gideons" waa chosen. In their first year the Gldeona placed 27,000 Bibles In hotel rooms. The next year they placed 73,000. The largest order ever placed by the association was for 25,000 Bibles for distribution In San Franclsc*. The association now has a mem bership in the United States and Canada of about 2,500. Membership , is limited to business men who are professed Christians in good stand ing in some church or religious so ciety. There also are a number of associate members and a woman'a auxiliary.—Detroit News. > Expect Messiah's Return Several Americans have made ex tensive preparations for the return of the Prophets and the Messiah, writes Mrs. P.
