• THE. IMMORTAL STORY. (British and Foreign Bible Society. 6d.)—This delightfully written little book seeks to present some aspects of the Bible Society's work in the world during the twelve_ months that ended on March 31st, 1927. As is well known, the Society does not do philanthropic work, neither does it gather converts into Christian communities. Its whole object is to diffuse the Scriptures, translating them so far as may be into every tongue, sending them into all nations so that as a whole or in part they may be within the reach of every one from the educated colonial in a lonely station to the Pigmy in the forests of the Congo. The delight with which the sacred writings are received by persons of widely different creeds and degrees of civilization _ is certainly a powerful argument in favour of their inspiration. The writer of the pamphlet recalls to his readers the words of Mr. Rudyard Kipling's " Holy-man " Gobind : " God has made very many heads, but there is only one heart in the world."
