8,000,000 BIBLES PRINTED YEARLY IN ENTIRE WORLD
(By Associated Press) 1 CHICAGO, Jan. 31. More than 660,000,000 Bibles in all languages have been printed In the world since printing was invented In the middle of the fiftenth century. According to George C. Buxton, Chicago publisher, who presented this interesting estimate at the convention here of the Subscription Book Publishers' association. "Approximately 8,000,000 Bibles are printed in this country and Canada annually," said Mr. Buxton, "and 35,000,000 throughout the world. "As-suming as approximately correct that the earth contains 1,500.000,000 inhabitants, it is evident that all the Bibles ever printed would supply nearly half the individuals of the globe with n copy and each of earth's 300,000,000 families with more than two copies. There is, however, no way of knowing how many Bibles of the total printed in history are in existence today and the distribution of the Scriptures, of course, has not been uniform among nations and tribes of men. Exact Statistics "There are more exact statistics reKarding the distribution of Bibles in
the United States. In a population of
115,000.000, it is estimated by Dr. J. S. Kirkbride of the American Bible Society that about 80,000,000 people own Bibles. Thi3 leaves 35,000,000 who do not possess a copy of the Scriptures. In a total of 23,000,000 families, 15,800,000 have Bibles. "These figures do not reflect with exactness the religious situation. The American people are inherently religious. Though there are 7,200,000 families without Bibles, I believe there are few individuals who at some time in their lives have not had Bible instruction or w-ho have not constant opportunity for reading the Scriptures.
