Bible Society campaign funds for sailors and soldiers underway
The American Bible Society reports slow early growth toward a $400000 pocket testament fund for sailors and soldiers. In three days only $46845.25 was raised, with many small gifts and a call to observe Bible Sunday on December 4. A Western check in memory of a Civil War general’s son and a New England donation from an elderly supporter highlight broad donor generosity.
