There was an fncreaae In the number of Blblea pubiah- ed in the English and Welah language, during the war, followed by a decrease after the eloae of hostilities. The year 1922 again showed an increase, however, whlcn points to a “revival of Bible reading in the homeland.” Significant of the world wide influence of the Bible are the society’s figures of their issues in all languages for the .past century and a quarter. Tnc figures arc sum maries of totals at intervals of 25 years, and include Bibles, Testaments, and portions of the Scriptures: 1808 81,157 1883 538,841 1868 1,602,187 . 1883 .2,061,636 1008 5,688381 1922-23 8,679384 Take, too, the teat of trans lation, Homer haa been ren dered Into more then a (core of foreign languages, and Shakespeare into nearly forty.
