KING
TO GIVE BIBLES
TO FIGHTING SERVICES
LONDON. Thirty thousand Hibles and New Testaments, Each containing a message from King George VI, are to be pro- duced for the defence servlees, it was announced recently,
The message from the King states;
"To all serving in my forces by sea or land or in the air and Indeed to all my people engaged in the defence of the realm I commend the reading of this book. For centuries the Bible has been a wholesome and strengthening influence in our national life, and it behoves us in these momentous days to turn with renewed faith to this divine source of comfort and inspiration."
The bibles are being printed with covers of three different colours-khaki for the soldiers, light blue for the Air Force, and dark blue for the Navy.
