O'Donnell of the United Church will regret to learn that he has been ordered to bed for a month by his medical adviser. It is sincerely hoped that this enforced rest will be the cause of a return to complete health. Mr. O'Donnell has been a partic­ ularly enthusiastic and sincere worker, not only for his church, but also for the welfare of the community generally. Willing at all times to put his shoulder to the wheel for any community ef­ fort, he has exerted a tremend­ ous influence for good through­ out the municipality, and his ab­ sence from church and other cir­ cles for even so short a time as a month will he greatly felt. With his many other admirers, we sincerely trust the reverend gentleman will be quickly re­ stored to good health, and sym­ pathise with him, knowing that to one so active this enforced absence from his duties will be a great hardship for him.

Auxiliary Can­ adian Bible Society, which is af­ filiated with the British & For­ eign Bible Society, was held in St. Stephen's Parish Hall on Sun­ day the 10th instant, under the presidency of the Rev. Harding Priest to hear the report of the Secretary on last year's work. This being the first meeting since the executive began to function, those friends in the Anglican, United, and Baptist Churches, also the Hollyburn Hall, who were kind enough to take collection boxes will be in­ terested to learn that the pro­ ceeds up to date amount to $23.28. This, taking into consid­ eration the fact that no canvass­ ing has been done, is very en­ couraging. This year the work has had a good send off, for as the result of a visit to the Bap­ tist Church in January last by the Rev. N. Harkness, the Sec­ retary for B. C., a larger number of boxes has been put into circu­ lation. With a view to making this deserving cause much more fully known Mr. Harkness is be­ ing requested to arrange for a lantern lecture illustrating the Society's work in different parts of the world, about the middle of May, and in the event of his being able to comply an an­ nouncement nearer the date will be made in the local press. We hear a good deal of talk about "Best Sellers" in the book world and, at times, comments that the Bible is old fashioned and out of date. For the infor­ mation of those interested in "Best Sellers," those who regard the Bible as having outlived its usefulness to man, those who still believe the Bible as being God's revelation to man, the fol­ lowing figures are taken from the B. F. & B. S. record for 1925: Bibles issued 1,152,321; New Testaments 1,161,803; portions of scripture 8,138,609; a total of 10,452,733 volumes of scripture^ in one year alone. Of this num­ ber no less than 4,261,400 were distributed in China alone de­ spite the civil war in that coun­ try. The Bible, or portions of it, has now been translated into no fewer than 579 languages, and wonderful to relate, this Canada of ours has nearly a fifth of that number within its borders, 110 different forms of speech being spoken or read between the shores of the Atlantic and the Pacific. Since the foundation of the Society in 1804 it has issued more than 365,000,000 copies of Holy Scripture. Who can esti­ mate the good it has done and the evil it has prevented?
