Bible Easily Best-Selling Book

New York, —Fourteen million Bibles and Testaments Were sold in the United States last year, according to statistics of the American Bible Society and leading Bible publishers. The estimated total for 1929 purchases for the world is 3.500.000. Since October when the revised Episcopal Prayer book was published. 1.500.(MM) copies of the Prayer book have been sold, according to figured gathered by the National Association of Book Publishers. Commenting on these statistics of Bible and Prayer book sales. Edward S. Mills;, president of the National Association of Book Publishers, said: “The fact that the Bible is still the world's best selling book seems to disprove the contention of litany’ that “general interest in religion is on the wane. Another evidence of universal concern with religious problems is the large number of religious books Issued by American publishing hdtises each year. Os the 10.1*7 new b<M>ks and new editions Issued In tjhe I’nited States during I'.rj’j, XHj were religious books. “The only two. groHjw* width exceeded religious publications were fiction, which totaled 2.112.- ami children's books, totaling '.till, {Biography which is recognized us one of the most popular classes of literature nt the I mou.egt. totaled ~.”S in 1929.

It is interesting to note that in 1920 and 1910 religious books stood fourth on the list; in 1900 sixth. “One reason for the large sales of Bibles is the modern church teacher's insistence on each member of the NEW EPISCOPAL HEAD S. 1 n - £■ rag Kt.

household having his own Bible. The old tradition of one family Bible is passe. A wide variety of editions and prices are now available-—children’s Bibles, reference Bibles, beautifully Illustrated editions. A recent innovation in Bible publishing is the substitution of colored bindings, rich reds, purples and blues, for the somber black which was considered the only suitable binding for so many years. Another striking change is brought about by the use of bold face type in some editions, which is . considered more readable than the lighter types. “Books on the relation of religion and science have had large sales recently and a spiritual interpretation of the universe are eagerly sought by the reading public. Biographies of religious leaders, books on the problems of the church in the modern world and on comparative religions are also popular. Many general book stores now have active departments specially devoted to the display of religious books, and a great many volumes are sold by the denominational stores throughout the country.

I’ve watched the young people of today a good deal, and that Is one of the greatest weaknesses in their training. Father ami mother are determined in too many cases that life for their children shall be made as easy as possible. They have come up themselves to comfort and prominence over a hard am! rough road, perhaps. They don't want their children to have the same experience, and so they coddle them and give thqm every luxury that ran be bought, and so weaken them for the contest of life.
