Acquires Famous Bible The American Bible Society has re cently acquired a set of the famous Paris Polyglot Bible, containing in ten huge volumes the text of the Bible in seven languages — Hebrew, Chaldee, Greek, Latin, Syriac, Arabic and Samari tan. During the 17th century there was a revival of learning in Western Europe and an increased interest in the lan guages of the Bible. Until then the Bible was known almost exclusively in Latin. This Bible was printed in Paris in 1629 to 1645 and was edited by a Paris lawyer, Guy Michel LeJay, with the aid of a large group of scholars. Bible School Merger A new milestone in evangelical Chris tian co-operation was reached with the announcement of the merger of two interdenominational Bible Schools, the Bible Institute of Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia School of the Bible. This new school will be known as the Phila delphia Bible Institute and Dr. William W. Mierop, former president of the Bible Institute of Pennsylvania, will be come president of the new school. Dr. Clarence E. Mason, Jr., will be dean. The school will be housed in the former home of the Y.W.C.A., an 8-story struc ture at 18th and Arch Streets, Phila delphia. Combined enrollment will total more than 500 day school students and as many evening school students. Festival of Britain More than three years of intensive evangelistic effort will be climaxed in a three months tour of England and Scot land by Dr. Hyman J. Appelman, Ameri can evangelist, and his song leader, Jack Rollings. Not since the days of Moody have such extensive preparations been made for a visiting evangelist in England. Meetings are planned to be held in Lon don, Liverpool, Plymouth, Glasgow and Edinburgh, and the movement is spon sored by the Movement for World Evangelization. Demand Is Greater For the last two years the Pocket Testament League has been carrying on its nation-wide distribution of Scriptures in Japan. Nearly 7,000,000 Gospels and New Testaments have been handed out and yet today the response of the Japa nese people is greater than ever before. Along with the Scripture distribution there has been a corresponding campaign of evangelical efforts which reached a new peak of attendance when Gil Dodds, famous “ Flying Parson,” and Jack Wyrt- zen of the Word of Life Fellowship preached in a series of great rallies in outdoor stadiums in the four main is lands of Japan.
