"The Society will continue to control its own plates so as to pre serve the accuracy of its versions for which it has received wide r& cognition and acknowledgment," read the statement. "The change of policy in its printing program has been dictated by the fact that the Sodety is con vinced that it can do its' printing more economically elsewhere than it can by conducting its own print ing establishment. There will be an actual increase in the Society's out put and this change pi policy marks a distinct advance and is in no sense a retrenchment in its. program . of Scripture publication." vUVUUVVVVVU V ?SPECIAL?
