It is generally assumed that Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” has been the best-sel-ler throughout Germany in recent years, states the “Manchester Guardian.” But, according to a belated report of the Prussian Bible Society recently received in London, the Bible has been outstripping "Mein Kampf” by 200,000 copies a year. Curiously enough, ever since the Nazis came to power in 1933 the sales of the Bible have soared, reaching an average ol’ 950.000 copies a year, or nearly 6,000.000 in the six years. Commenting on this an official of one of the British, missionary societies said that the new interest in Bible study in the Lutheran and Reformed Churches as a result of persecutions had probably led Io this widespread buying.
