Last ycar the British and For- eign Bible Society added six new languages to its list, ~maklng it's circulation new in 784 languages and dialects, Rev. Mr. Wheelock stated. The most interesting of thcsc translations is the Bible for the "Forbidden Country" of Tibet. This completes the story of ninety years in which the Bible has been in the process of completion in this tongue.

The challenge facing the So- ciety today, Mr. Wheelock said, is tremendous, due to the rapidly advancing literacy movement, by which in the past twenty-five years, 250 million people have learned to read, and by the great- ly awakened interest in the Gos- pel in many parts of the world. The immediate need in 1950 is for 25 million subscriptions. The circulation by all societies last year ivas 17 million.

"In some lands people have to choose between holding to their Christian faith. or death." the speaker said. "Tim time: are ter- rlblywhallenging. but the hope of the future of ail that is beauti- ful in human life lies in the ten- der and impelllng message of the love of Goth-in short, in the Bible." ,
