w TIT ayfaring Biblemen To carry out the distribution of the Scriptures far and wide the Bible Society relies to no small extent on its own charac- teristic agents-the native Christian colporteurs. They serve the missionary as his aides-de-camp and scouts and pioneers. They penetrate to many a place which no missionary visits, and surmount many a barrier which no foreigner can pass. Testimony is continually borne by missionaries of many nations and Churches to the openings secured by the labours of these devoted men. Of one such worker in China it is reported that during three years of colportage he had been—once arrested and bound with chain and lock; twice beaten; three times stoned; and twice robbed. But," he said, whether danger, whether peace, be it as our heavenly Father wills. I will go about my work thanking God for His grace and blessing." t Nearly 1,000 of these colporteurs are employed by the Bible Society, and in 1918 they put into circulation more than 4,960,000 books, chiefly copies of the Gospels. About 150 of these workers are supported by special gifts of individual friends. Similar help for the maintenance of others would be most welcome. Information about the annual cost of adopting one of these faithful men will be gladly given, and contributions towards the general work of the Society will be gratefully received by the Secretaries, 146, Queen Victoria Street, London, E.C. 4.
