YOU PROVIDE A SURE INCOME FOR YOUR OLDER DAYS Y OU kill two birds with one stone when you place money in the Bible Annuity Bonds of New York Bible Society. First, you provide for yourself a dependable income for the rest of your life. Second, you take part in the great work of the Society in dis­ tributing God’s Word. AS HIGH AS 9 % These Bible Annuity Bonds pay you more than most safe commercial investments. They yield from 4% to 9%, depending on your age. And unlike most other investments, they require no attention. The rate can never fluctuate. Even if you lose the bonds them­ selves, your income continues j ust the same. Every six months, year after year, as long as you live, the mail man brings you a check for the same depend­ able amount. Your money is kept in your name as a distinct fund in perpetuity. When you no longer have need for the income, it will be devoted to the Society’s work of Bible distribution. The principal will never be spent. It will go on forever yielding interest which will be used in winning people to Christ through the reading of God’s Word. 5 East 48th Street, Dept. 37, New York, N. Y.

GIVE THE BIBLE TO THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST

Commissioner of Immi­ gration, Benj. M. Day, wrote: "The value of your work of ministry and service is immeas­ urable, deserving of the commendation of a l l right thinking people." An Immigrant s a i d : "The only language 1 know is Russian. With this Gospel in Russian and English parallel, I can learn the language of my new country." The Governor of a great state wrote: "The work your organization has d o n e in distributing Bibles to all the peo­ ples has added not only to the religious life of the individuals benefit- ted but has also been material contribution to world' progress." From a Prisoner: "I ex­ pect to leave here in two months and I shall take the Bible along with me and carry it wherever 1 go." A Hospital Patient: "1 had never read the Bi­ ble until you gave me the Gospel of St. Mark. Since' then, 1 read the Bible every day."

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 o f 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 o f reaching lost souls and those in need o f 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.
