Spiritual Truths

Moscow recently released in
formation that the Communist
Manifesto has now passed the
Bible in circulation as the world’s
best seller. The statement included
the figures that the Manifesto has
now run into 1,000 editions since
1848, and is printed in 77 lan
guages, totalling over a billion
copies.
The American Bible Society, in
making an exhaustive study with
the Library of Congress, has re
vealed the following figures,
which shows the Bible still in a
big lead. Not only is the Manifesto
only 25 pages in length, com
pared with the 1,000-page average
of the Bible, hut the total Bibles
printed is over a billion and a
half. This does not include Testa
ments and smaller portions of
Scriptures which are 25 pages in
length and more. This would make
the total over ten billion copies.
Also, the Bible has been printed
in nearly 1,100 languages.
Not only does God’s Word have
the greatest outreach now . . .
but ... as The Saviour said:
“Heaven and earth shall pass
away, but My words shall not
pass away” . . . and . . . “The
Word of the Lord endureth for
ever.” (Matthew 24:35; I Peter
1:25)
