THE BIBLE STILL BEST SELLEN.
Sonus Interesting Fflfcts Coneeming
Publication) of Sacred Book.
New York, Feb. 8.-The Bible re
mains the {best soMer.
Officials of the American Bible
Society announced yesterday that,
despite somewhat depressing indus
trial conditions of tho last year, the
output of .Holy "Writ during that
timo oxceedod by 380,579 the num
ber of theso sold and given away the
year before,
Bibles, .Testaments and portions
of each, together- with those espe
cially prepared for tho blind in a
tlotal of about 4,206,380 were sent
to near and /ar countries of the
world within the twelvo months Just
past.
After a report from the society,
which for moro than ono hundred
years has manufactured Its own Bi
bles, I visited the old-fashioned red
brick Bible HOuso, which creates a
small world of its own in tho trian
gles of Astor Place. 1 waited for the
Kov. Gilbert S. Darlington, in what
appeared to he an interesting old li
brary, where walls iworc lined from
floor to ceiling with rows of books.
?Inspection proved that all of the
hooks were .Scriptures, and no two
were of tho same language or Issue.
Many Languages.
The Uov. Mr. Darlington said they
represent, Uu some degree, the scope
of the society's work, lile continued:
"We have published Bibles in this
house in sixtyclght languages and
in six systems of embossed type for
the blind. The books on tho shelves
represent three hundred and thirty
three differont tongues and dialects.
"Some of tho most curious of
theso in which our volumes have
been issued aro varieties of Indian
speech-Choctaw, Dakota, Mohawk,
and so on. They also have been
printed in Arabic, Hawaaian, Ice
landic, Buln, Ebon, Gllbort Islande,
Japanese, Kurdish, Nez Perces, Pon
ape, Syrian (ancient and modern),
Quechua (both of Ecuador and Bo
livia), Zapotee and Zulu, besides all
the more usual languages and dia
lects you can think of.
".Many are printed in Yiddish and
in ancient Hebrew.*'Wo also issue a
Volga te Bible (In Latin,) which is
tho standard Roman Catholic ver
sion.
"Jt is not true that we aro to stop
publishing Wo will go on >. before
excepting thal ibo actual work of
printing is io bo done outside of tho
[Bible House."
'ile explained thal In 1915 good
(Bible paper could be purchased fOr
a little moro than four cents a
pound, in I!) 2 0 the (price went up to
live or six times that amount, and
now it is nearly ono hundred per
cent, higher. Other elements ne-os
Imry for book-making are similarly
high, ne said. With the demand for
Scriptures steadily increasing, how
ever, it is expected that tl >. output
of last year will he doubled .n 1922.
i Seventy-six: Million Printed.
?Kev. 'Mr. Darlington said that
since tho presses were set tip in the
Bible alonso In 1853, it was estimat
ed that a total of about 7t>,O00,7St>
[Bibles have been issued there. This
averages something liko eight vol
umes a minute for every eight-hour
working day. It is interesting to
mtoto that, until 19 20, t'ho greatest
number of Bibles were printed In
(English-to tho number of 715,520.
Spanish Bibles were second, there
being 151,665 printed. Portuguese
followed, lie then added:
"In 1929 this society, which is a
missionary enterprise, and run prin
cipally on contributions, issued 3,
825,10 1 books. That would mean
seven volumes for ovory minute of
tho year. Average annual issues for
the last ten years have been over 5,
000,000. Some of theso were sold,
hut most were given to persons un
able to pay.
"We estimate that rho American
[Bible Society, in all its branches,
put out a tola! of I 11,729,3*10 vol
umes of Scriptures, 25,000,000 or
which were whole Bibles, for the t.'.O
years of the society's existence,
through and including the year
1 !> 2 0.
"Recalllng that the Bible was the
tflYBl book printed, and that it has
been printed in an ever-increasing
number, I believe it safe to say that
600,000,000 copies of the Sacred
?Book have been turned out since
printing was invented."

Punished!
By REV. GEORGE E. OUILLE
Kxtonuion Department, Moody
Bib' o Institute, Chicago.
TEXT.-For the Bon of Man la come to
.eek and save that which waa lost.-Luke
10:10. He that belteveth not la Judged al*
ready.-John 3:18. Who aimil be pu ul shod
with everlasting destruction.-II Theas.
Solemn, solemn, solemn words
words of Holy . Scripture and "God*
breathed" in every
syllable-that set
forth the condi
tion and the doom
.of the rejecter of
the Lord Jesus
Christ. Ho Is lost.
He ls under sen
teuce o t judg
ment. He shall be
punished accord
ing to his works.
These three texts
reveal God's estl
amie ot' man, au estimate that shall
abide in spite of "the reasonings of
i the wise" and of man's mistaken esti
mate of himself. "To the law and to
tho testimony," then, which declare
that mau ls
Lost.
I. (1.) Because he is born in sin.
"Behold," cried the Psalmist by tho
Spirit of God, "I was simpen In in
iquity ; and tn stn did my mother con
ceive me."-Psa. 51:5. Bight you
are, David I Anti you spoke there for
me and for all tho race. Sin ls thc sad
heritage bequeathed to us by our fa
ther, Adam.
(2.) Because he is corrupted through
and through lu every department of
his being. "From the sole ol* the foot
even unto the head there ls no sound
ness In lt ; but wounds, and bruises,
and putrlfying sores; they have not
been closed, neither bound up, neither
mollified with ointment."-Isa. 1:6.
God's estimate again. And they who
accept lt cry : "We are all as an un
clean thing, and all our righteous
nesses are as ill thy rags ; and we all
do fade as a leaf; and our Iniquities,'
like the wind huvo taken us away."
-Isa. 64:6.
(.''.) Because he ls dead to God.
"And you, who were dead In trespasses
and sins,"-Eph. ?:1. "Ye must be
born again."-John 8:7.
(4.) Because he ls without God, and
ungodly. "That at that time ye were
without Christ . . . having no hope
and without God In the world."-Eph.
2:12. "When we were yet without
strength, In due time Christ died for
the ungodly." God said lt 1 O soul.
He said lt about you! Talk not of
your poor human goodness, or your
man-pleasing morality, or your efforts
to mn Wo something of yourself. You
are dead to God, and there til no Ufo
for Him nave that which Vie gives in
Christ.
II. The Word of God declares that
man is
Judged
by a sentence that was pronounced at
the cross ot' Jesus Christ. Man ls no
longer under probation : that came to
an end nt the place called "Calvary."
There whore the "wrath of God was
revealed from heaven," there where
God's Beloved Son bowed lils head tn
death under the sfolght of ibis world's
sin-there the sentence was written
for .. ery eye to see. "Now ts the
Judgment of this world." Every un
saved man, whether In the deepest
depths of depravity or walking upon
the highest planes of morality, ls un
der that sentence. He ls Judged for
not accepting God's provision in Christ
-Judged for rejecting the only Savior.
"He that belleveth on Him ls not
Judged : but he that belleveth not ls
Judged already, because he hath not
believed In the name of the only be
gotten Son of God."-John 8:18.
lil. One more solemn fact remains:
men shall be
Punished.
And this according to their deeds
and for their deliberate aversion to
Jesus Christ. "Who will render to
every man according to his deeds."
Rom. 2:0. "And the books were
opened: and another book was
opened, which ls the book of life: and
the dead were Judged out of those
things which were written in the
books, according to (heir works."
Rev. 20:12. "Ile Hint despised Moses'
law died without mercy under two or
three witnesses: of how much sorer
punishment, suppose ye, shall he bo
thought worthy, who hath trodden un
der foot the Son of God, and hath
counted the blood of tho covenant,
wherewith lie was sanctified, nu un?
holy thing, and ho Hi done despite unto
the Spirit of Grace."-Heb. 10:28-20.
O soul, lost and undone, lying under
God's righteous sentence, look nt the
wondrous mid blessed contrast to all
this on thc part of the one that accepts
the Lord Jesus for his own Savior.
He is saved ("Believe oil the Lord
Jesus Christ mid thou shalt be
saved") ; ho "shall not come Into Judg
ment, but ls passed from death unto
life"-John 5:24; and over and above
it nil, he shall be rewarded according
to his fidelity to that Blessed One who
lins snved him. "And my reward la
. with me to give every man according
i ns lils work/shall be."-Hov. 22:12
? Only a step from your lost estate Into
this blessed one I Take lt now I
Consider Thyself.
Brethren, if a man be overtaken In
n fault, yfi which aro spiritual, reston
sn ci. a .me In the spirit of meekness|
considering thyself, lest thou nlso b<
tempted.-Gul. 0:1.

GERMANS AHE VICTIMS OF PUNK
Money Passed on Them--America is
Are Also Victimized.
Berlin, Feb. 6.-'Another issue of
United States Confederate money in
$10 bills, has been put on the market
in Germany, and several prominent
merchants hove been victimized to
the extent of thousands of dollars.
Scores of others have accepted tho
bad bills in smaller amounts.
tA few months ago the Confederate
monoy, suspiciously 'bright and clean,
was passed quietly around to unsus
pecting shopkeepers and to even a
few visiting Americans who display
ed carelessness in making change. At
that time a warning was issued by
the banks and tho newspapers ad
vised readers to uso discretion.
The latest known victim is a mer
chant who sold a bill of goods for
$9 00 in cash and accepted tho Con
federate currency.. Ho appealed to
the American Association of Com
merce and Trade In Berlin.
The association, as a result of
the?e raids on 'German marks and
Gorman goods by the Confederate
money vendors, has Issued a warning
to Its clientele, declaring "the only
way to avoid such losses is to effect
all payments for goods througn a
bank, especially where foreign cui'
rency comes into question."
German merchants recently also
have been accepting counterfeit Gor
man GO-mark notes, many of which
aro still In circulation, although the
police succeeded In capturing che
counterfeiters.
