Universal Bible Sunday claimed last year the cordial co-operation of thousands of Protestant, churches of all denominations, and plans are already under way to make Mayflower Universal Bible Sunday a great day for America and for the world. • The year 1920 as the tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers on the Mayflower will be an occasion of rejoicing throughout the entire coun try. In the celebration of this occasion the American Bible Society proposes to take part by the observance of a special Sunday as indicated above. In view of the fact that the greatest gift brought by the Pilgrim Fathers to this country was the open Bible, the appropriateness of such a celebration is apparent at once. The American Bible Society will have ready at an early date appropriate lit erature on the subject. Requests for this free literature may be sent imme diately to the. American Bible Society, Bible House, Astor Place, New York City, and the literature will be mailed well in advance of November 28, 1920.
