For 121 years—since 1809—the New York Bible Society has been active giving the Gospel to those who sorely need its guidance and comfort—blind folk too poor to buy an expensive raised-type Bible —forgotten sick people in the public wards of hos pitals—forlorn men and women in prisons-^poverty- stricken families in the great slums—bewildered im migrants in a vast city and country—lonely sailors far-from -home and friends. Last year the Society distributed almost a million Bibles, Testaments and Bible portions. Great as its work has been, never has the Society had enough funds to meet all of its opportunities for doing good. Always it has been necessary to curtail and limit its activities in providing the Scriptures for those in need of solace, inspiration and guidance. The Society’s Bible Annuity Bonds give you an opportunity to ;share in this vital work at the same time that you assure yourself a dependable income. As-you receive as high as 9% with absolute safety- you can have the same satisfaction as the bond holder who recently wrote: “I am convinced'there is no better way of reaching lost souls and those, in need of comfort than through the distribution of the Gospel.” Mail Coupon for Free Booklet Without obligating you in the least, an interesting, illustrated booklet entitled “A Truly Christian In vestment” will be sent you. Simply fill in and mail the coupon today.
