Observe Founding Os Bible Society Presbyterian Church Joins Observance Members of the Presbyterian church will join in a worldrwide observance of the 150th annlvarsary of the founding of the first Bible society, it was announced today by the Rev. Ray J. Walther, pastor. The jubilee observance has been described by the American Bible society, one of 24 national Bible eocities which comprise tire United Bible societies, as "one of the greatest mass statements of faith in human history.” People of €0 nations will participate in a program to share the scriptures with those who want them. Among the program’s goals is an increase of the current distribution of 20.000,000 volumes annually to 25,000.000 in 1904, and to 50,000,000 by 1060. A world good will book is in preparation to be signed by those who wish to signify tiheir. desire to share the Bible. “People in more than 60 nations will sign their names on the pages of this book of testimony to their love for the Bible, their faith in its teachings and their desire to share it with others,” said Rev. Walther. • “There are hundreds of thousands of people in many parts at, the world who believe in the Bible enough to share it with others. When those who love the Bible inscribe their names in a huge book, it becomes a proclamation to the world and* a rallying point for ail who love the Lord and His Book," he said. Each participating nation will collect its signatures on pages of the same size. 22x26 inches, and send them to the United States for binding. Signatures will be grouped by country, major subdivision and by city. -- j Decatur will have a special section devoted to signatures obtained here. ‘ Upon completion, the book will be displayed in principal cities all over the world and then loaned for one year to each of the 24 participating natinal Bible societies. Tlie 150th anniversary is based on the birth of the British and foreign Bible society which was founded in 1804, after an ambitious attempt to distribute Bibles in Wales found an edition of 10,000 exhausted in four months and large districts uneupplied. The first Bible society in the United States was located in Philadelphia and was founded in 1808. More than 100 such local groups were functioning within six years and the American Bible society was chartered in 1816. In the pant 160 years, the various societies have distributed over 1.200,000,000 Scriptures In about (>oo languages and dialects. At least one book of the Bible has been translated into 1.06A languages or dialects. Since 1804, new languages or dialects have been added at the rate of seven a year. The societies translate, publish and distribute the'Scripture "without note or comment and without purpose of profit” Representatives of 53 denominations voted support of the World Good Will Book. Persons who wish to sign the book and make a contribution of at least one dollar to allure the Scriptures should speak to their ministers about making arrangements for obtaining signature certificate*.

Eisenhower Visit Cheers State GOP Makes Open Appeal For Campaign Fund INDIANA'POLIS (INS) — Indiana Republican leaders said today that President Eisenhower's visit to Indiana Friday night had rejuvenated the election campaign. Alvin C. Cast, state chairman, and other rejoiced in Ike’s open appeal for election of the GOP congressional nominees and his canny recognition of the need for campaign cntributions. A smiling chief executive exuded party optimism during his address before some 16.000 persons at the Butler University fieldhouse and at meetings of congressional nominees and party chiefs at the Columbia Club previously. The President was received with almost wild applause by tfie GOP leaders who had in the back of their minds the fear of losing two or htree congressional districts on Nov. 2. Ike appeared to scoff at this trepidation. Also, the President asked openly for campaign contributions, saying: “No bottle Is won unless soldiers have something to fight with. If that Involves throwing money intothe pot, then we’ll have to throw it in.” The appearance had been billed as "non-political'' but the President quickly changed that motif, much to the joy of the professional Republicans. He was greeted by all of the party leaders in the state with one notable exception, Senator William E. Joiner, who had a speaing kdate in Cincinnati. Indiana Democratic leaders, as was expected, took a dim view of Ike’s activities. Charles E. Skillen Democratic state chairman, said: “We were told the President was coming here to give a non-political address on his farm program. His speech certainly was political in asking for another Republican congress and be did not discuss his new farm law.” Clarence J. McCormick, of Vincennes, undersecretary of agriculture in the Truman administration, said: “The President completely dodged the fact that the Republican farm program has caused a collapse of farm prices wherever It has gone into effect.” Former secretary of agriculture Claude iR. Wickard, of Camden, a member of President Roosevelt's cabinet, will give a point by point reply to the President in an address at New Castle tonight.
