required and 24 children spent a week at camp This year Iredell children have re ceived 150 Bibles and 93 children are ready for camp which opens June 2 at Mountain The Bibles are distributed but it is now necessary to secure an addi tional' amount of $300 so that each child who has done the required work may receive the promised reward of a week in camp to which each of these boys and girls look forward with eager anticipation The Bible Mission has no endownment but depends altogeth er on free will offerings received from Christian friends who are in terested in the children of the South land

receiving no Bible training This statement impressed spine of those who heard it with their responsibility to do something for these children After much prayer an organization called The Bible Mission
