NE of the most difficult prob- lems that confronted the American expedition into Mexico was the transporta- tion of men and supplies. Railroads in the revolution ridden country are far between; those that are in operation are not modern. The roads, some of which were built hundreds of years “ &go, Are poor. Sand is one of the chief obstacles to the progress of the troops. During the many revolts that have gone before, the transportation of men and materials was the chief drawback that the various leaders experienced. Some of the methods were strange. Oxen were used. Little wonder that the native Mexjcans are astonished on sseeing an American aeroplane flying over with dispatches and probably a few supplies Pack mules were used then. Little wonder that the Mexican looks with astonishment upon our fast, modern and heavy motor trucks speed- ing by with food, water, clothing and other supplies nec ry for the in- ,‘\'adlnp troops. The few Mexicans encountered stand at the roadside and view the long pro- moving so high that they looked like a.

The Bible, or por- tions of the Scriptures, have been translated into 500 different languages or dialects. There have been over 100 different translations of the entire Bi- ble. From the ancient Greek into modern English, German, French, Russian, Spanish, Italian and countless other languages the Scriptures have been transformed. They can be found in the wilds of India, in darkest Africa, in | faraway South America, in the arctic | and antrarctic regions—in fact, every- | where in the civilized world. | | | The American Bible society, co- operating with other Bible societies in all parts of the world, is largely re- sponsible for the wide circulation of the Scriptures. The Ame: which is this year celebrating the hun- | dredth anniversary of its founding, | was organized to obtain the larg possible circulation of the Scriptures and put them in the hands of as many people as possible at a minimum cost. A people which has not the Bible in its own language cannot have Sunday schools for Bible study. On the other hand, any community which reads the Bible is sure to have a Bible Sunday school. Every separate version of the criptures becomes thus a door of op- portunity to the Sunday school enter- prise, for it is a breach in the walls of Babel. | The Bible societies of the world are counted by thousands, but as far as| can be learned the most of these soci ties, as well as the home and foreign issi societies of all Christen- n the Scriptures, which are the essential implement of their worlk, from less than thirty Bible societies in Europe and America which print the Scriptures. In 1914 the whole number of volumes issued by those societies which print was probably over 28,000,000, Of thi number it is estimated that fully 000,000 were put into circulation. Over five-sixths of this number— that is to say, 1 39 volumes issued by three English speaking so- cieties—the British and Foreign Bible society (10,162,000), the American Bi- ble society (6,396,323) and the Scottish National Bible 2,762,616). The ieties include nearly the whole of the Scriptures used by the missions and Sunday schools in Asia, Africa and the islands of the Pacific ocean besides a great part of those distributed by the Sun- an branch, | ENGLISH. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoso- ever believeth in him should not perish, but have éverlasting life.
