Sunday , Observed
Universal Bible Sunday, observ
ed December 10, in churches in the
United Stes and many , other

fact that the Bible is - the corner
stone on which stand our Christian

"The Truth That Makes Men Free"
and emphasis will be laid upon the
fact that our colonial forefathers
turned to their Bibles for guidance
in the establishment of their
chur,ches, schools, courts and other
public institutions.

cluding the Kt. Kev. James K.
Freeman of Washington, L). C, who
spoke from the National Cathedral;
Mr. Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati,
and 1 Jr. William Lyon Phelps of
New York City, all speaking on the
theme "What the Bible Means to
Me."
The celebration, as formerly, is
sponsored by the American Bible
Society, now in its 124th year,
which has from the early days of
the nation's life served all the
churches in supplying Scriptures in
any language needed and at the
cost of production. Last year the
American Bible Society . distributed
6,5,5()6 volumes of Scripture in
over 40. countries and in 174 dif
ferent languages.
In urging the observance of Uni
versal Bible Sunday Governor Hoey
said: "1 wish to express my hearty
approval of the observance of
Bible Sunday on December 10 and
to .commend the American Bible
Society for the unmatched service
which it has rendered to the cause
of Christianity in the distribution
of Bibles and portions of the
Scriptures throughout the world.
Its contribution has been , so great
that -it should receive the general
support of all those who are in
terested in the spread of the
gospel."

ican Bible Society is Bible House,
