BIBLES IN HOTELS
DISTRIBUTION FOR USE OF TRAVELLING PUBLIC PROVISION OF 5,000 COPIES In its task of placing Bibles in bedrooms of all the leading hotels throughout New Zealand for the use of the travelling public, the Dominion Council of the British and Foreign Bible Society is making steady progress. The move was commenced some months ago. The Rev. David Calder, Dominion secretary of the society, is at present visiting Auckland for the purpose of completing arrangements lor the distribution of the volumes in this city. So far, 1,000 Bibles have been placed, including 550 in Wellington hotels and others in Kaikoura, Blenheim, Nelson, Masterton, Palmerston North and Wanganui, while arrangements are in hand for the placing of volumes at Hawera, New Plymouth and Hamilton. Later they will be distributed in the South Island centres.
It is expected that within 12 months 5,000 of these Bibles, which are handsomely bound in leather and printed in clear lonic type, will be placed at the disposal of hotel visitors throughout the Dominion. A similar scheme for the distribution at Bibles for the use of the travelling public has been undertaken in Scotland, Canada, the United States and Australia.
