Chinese Bibles to be focus

Tens of millions of Americans will remember their Christian sisters and brothers in China when they gather in churches on November 20 to celebrate American Bible Society (ABS) Bible Sunday, just as they have been doing for every one of the past 74 years. Bible Sunday is the country’s oldest such observance — the one day, traditionally the Sunday before Thanksgiving, when churchgoers make a special point of giving grateful thanks for the firm bedrock which the Scriptures provide for their own lives. With the unifying theme this year of “God’s Word: Hope For All,” Christians in the United States will give thanks for the abundance of Bibles they are fortunate enough to have and to pray for greater supplies of the Scriptures for their many Christian sisters and brothers in other lands who suffer from a severe shortage. This year they will be especially thinking of those people in the People’s Republic of China. During the more than two decades of the cultural revolution, when most Bibles in the People’s Republic of China were destroyed, the faithful resorted to committing parts of the Bible to

memory. That way they kept hope alive. Now practicing their faith more openly once more, they? urgently need new supplies of' Scriptures for use in the thousands of churches which have been re-opened and in the? homes of individual Christian men and women in China. Thanks to supporters of the American Bible Society, together with its partners around the world, the Bible Society funded Amity Printing Press in Nanjing is turning out a steady supply of Bibles and New Testaments. Despite the round-the-clock schedule on which the press is now operating, with 200,000 Ami.ty produced Bibles already distributed and a further 800,000 Bibles and Testaments confidently expected by the end of 1988, there, are still not enough copies to meet the urgent requests being received daily. The current problem is paper. It is in critically short supply and what is locally available is not suitable for printing Bibles. David Thorne, who is the Bible Society’s consultant to the Amity Press, notes that the Amity Press can produce Scriptures with Bible Society supplied paper at a little more than half the cost of a commercial printer in China.

When We Abandon Our Faith, We Must One Day Return To It f your run of good fortune has come to halt And temptation has led you astray, You had better remember that you are at fault, Just for being too busy to pray. Be it illness or vice or financial distress That has given you cause for regret, You expect to recover; but nevertheless You will need all the help you can get. So return to your faith without further delay And your blessings will soon be restored, For it wasn’t the Lord who has wandered away; It was YOU who deserted the Lord. — Gloria Nowak
