Several members of Gideon
camps from Greenville. Anderson
and other places were in the city
Sunday to place Bibles in Hotel
Mary Msugrove, Hotel Clinton and
Midway Motel. The work of the
Gideons was presented by speakers;
in several churches in the city.
Plans for the dedication here |
were made in advance by James
W. McKinney of Anderson, after
holding conferences with the local
ministerial association. The group,
with several ministers as guests,
had a luncheon at Hotel Mary Mus
grove, followed by an appropriate
and interesting program, after
which 93 Bibles were distributed!
to the hotels to be kept in the
rooms, for the use of guests without
cost.
The Gideons, International,
headquarters are in Chicago. They
serve an extended, non-sectarian
arm of the church witn the organ
ization composed of Christian busi
ness men who are carrying out a
broad ministry which no single de
nomination could undertake. The
fact that The Gideons are interde
nominational gives them access to
almost all institutions throughout
the land. Its members give free
ly of their time and money.
The Gideons are the largest buy
ers of Bibles and Testaments in
the world. Scriptures are bought
with their own contributions, to
gether with the free-will contribu
tions cf Christian people in many
different churches.
