By giving out a small portion to some, not before Interested has awakened an Interest and they have asked for other portions, or a testament or bible, which has been given them.

"This has been particularly noticed among tho prisoners and tn other Institutions where they have much timo to read. Not only have they been Interested, but a very marked change has co'mo over the lives of some who were vicious and desperate characters. The foreign born and foreign speaking people have greatly appreciated the message of God's lovo In otheir own languages. "The Scriptures have been printed in 725 languages and dialects.
