Lady Solomon, accompanied by Sir Kichard Solomon, K C.M.G, K.C.8., Acting Lioutonant Governor of the Transvaal, recently laid the foundation atone of the Bible house now being erected by the British and Foreign Bible Society at Johannes-, burg. In the course of his spoech Sir Bichard said ho had a firm belief in the work of the Bible Society, and wished to express his sympathy with those who woro engaged in carrying out that work. In this connection it is interesting to note that Scriptures in no less than 52 languages were sold last year from the Bible Society’ depot at Johannesburg, and a fifty-third language was asked for by a newcomer to the “ Golden City.” Ho wanted a Bible in Icelandic, which was unfortunately not in stock at the moment.
