BIBLE MOST READ
BOOK IN THE WORLD
American Society Distributed More
Volumes Last Year Than
Ever Before
The American Bible Society reports
sales and gifts of Bible*, New Testa
ments and Scripture portions during
1913 to have been 1,076,459 volumeß, an
increase of 280,000 volumes over 1912.
This is the largest distribution of
Bibles ever made by the society in th«
United States, yet it does not include
sales to the trade or Bibles distributed
by auxiliary societies. In the Pacific
coast district the distribution was 129,-
000 volumes in more than fifty
languages, the largest in the history
of the society's work on the coast. In
the Southwest, with headquarter# at
Dallas, the distribution also broke all
records, with 90,000 volumes in thirty
live languages.
The society is to take a leading part
i in a plan to spend $500,000, all furnisli
-led by California, in Bible and other
Christian work, during; the Panama Ex-
I position. This work is in some measure
to prevent commercialized vice, but in
, a larger way it is to make exhibits of
i Christian achievement at homo and
| abroad. Foreigners are expected in
I considerable numbers and it is desired
! to show them the Christian unity that
| they expect, or some measure of it. fte
ligious bodies are co-operating to thl«
end.
Tlio society is making/ preparations
to celebrate in 1916 the 100 th anniver
sary of its founding. To this- end most
Bible societies of the world will send
delegates with greetings, and so will
all American missionary societies. The
celebration is not to take place merely
at headquarters, but to be observed at
every center throughout the world
where the society has agencies, as Con
stantinople, Shanghai, Rio de Janiero
land Panama. At the last-named place
| it is purposed to create If possible a
> great Bible distributing agency, simi
lar to one that the British and Foreign
| Bible Society of London has built up at
j Port Said, a terminus of the Suez Canal.

Merry Del Val Gown
Censor For Church
N * . v • A '
CARDINAL MERRY DEL VAL
Rortje, April 11.—"We must trust
only to 'modesty'; to good sense. We
cannot keep a Paquin or a Worth at
the Vatican to decide what sort of a
dress should be worn." This state
ment was made by Cardinal Merry Del
Val, Papal Secretary of State, on
whose shoulders has fallen the rather
delicate task of censoring the modern
fashions In women's gowns. The fa
mous modistes of Paris, the majority
of whom are devout Catholics, have
entered a protests against the rigid
edict issued by the Church against
many of the very latest creations in
feminine wearing apparel. It is ruin
ing their business, they say. The hun
dreds of wealthy South American ma
trons and belles who have standing
orders for copies of every now stylo
that origin lates in Parle, have been
compelled to countermand many of
these orders. This condition of affairs
spells ruin to many of the Parisian
modistes, they say.

World Owes All to
tlie Upraised Ckrist
We Should Laugh at Disappointment
on Easter Day
BY REV. 1)11. O. A. SMUCKER
To-day men cease to appeal to the
nether world and learn to appeal to
the upper world. Wo are not moles
to grope in the dark and slight the
day; we arc eagles to Hash against the
sun and catch every glory from the
oarth and the heavens. It is a big
thing for a man to know that his ani
niality is a temporality and his man
hood Is eternal. We don't dare to be
bad; we are going to live forever. We
don't dare to say the foul word; we
are going to live forever. We must
rise above all this crushing sense of
world-tragedy. We must laugh
through the tears of our disappoint
ments, reverses and bereavements;
because we are going to live forever.
We must be big and efficient as saviors
of society. We must see whither the
tides are flowing. We must have confi
dence in God's to-morrow. We must
tell out the truth and point the feeble,
the sick, the bereft, the victims of
poverty and overwork, the unfortu- ]
nate, the "down and out," the fortu
nate and well-to-do to the larger day. I
The world needs interpreters who|
shall not only speak but live the think
they are. For the life of man and
the glory of God learn to live. When
you And yourself in the presence of
want and wrong do not let your hands
drop in helpfulness. Probe to the
roots of the matter; ask how this want
and wrong have come to be, what
expanding force it was that left this
wreckage in its track, and, therefore,
what new synthesis is needed to make
that particular sorrow Impossible any
more. Make the same inquiry con
cerning the millionaire, the gambler,
the captain of industry, tho drunk
ard, the society belle, th,e draggled
prostitute. Always you will find a
maimed or partially expressed life,
clue to the action of forces from with
out to which the forces wljthln have
so far proved unequal. Labor to lift
all these. Point but the real goal. De
clare to every man the up-raised
Christ of God, and His right to fulness
of life and His duty to claim It. Help
man to see and know God. Lay heal
ing hands on human life, on old
wounds, on aching memories. Open
