88 The Lutheran Pioneer.

Bible has never been off the press. For more than
four centuries it has been the “best seller.” The
Bible during all these years has been translated into
almost eight hundred languages and dialects. It is
said that in the last ten years the Bible has appeared
in a new language, on an average, about every six
weeks. Over half a billion copies of the Bible were
printed in the last century. F.J.L.

Notice.

We again desire to call the attention of all the friends
of our Colored Missions to the three fine illustrated lec-
tures which so graphically picture our three most im-
portant fields. Congregations’ should not fail to take
advantage of the opportunity offered by these lectures
to become acquainted with our Mission. For particu-
lars write to Rev. Theo. F. Walther, 6406 Easton Ave.,
St. Louis, Mo.

An Appeal from Alabama.

Superintendent G. A. Schmidt writes the Editor that
the crops in Alabama are almost a total failure, and that
in consequence the need and distress among our Colored
people will be very great this winter. He asks that our
good people send him for distribution their cast-off, but
still usable old clothing. Address: Rev. G. A. Schmidt,
Box 683, Selma, Ala.
