Bible Society aids Lapland New Testament and India translations
The report notes funds for a Lapland New Testament edition of 3000 copies at about 200, with Bishop Norden supervising in Swedish Lapland. It records the safe delivery of German Bible shipments to Volga colonists and a 2500 grant for an Arabic Bible, with 500 copies to be taken at sale. It covers Bengal translations, Sanscrit and Hindustani texts, and the Sindhalese New Testament project in Colombo. It mentions Philadelphia Bible Societies, New York groups led by Dr. Livingstone, and offers 100 pounds to unify New York societies, plus 50 pounds to Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Jersey efforts, noting rising demand for Bibles.
