BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. HONGKONG AUXILIARY.

The report and balance-sheet of the Hongkong Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society for 1918, which will be presented at the annual meeting in the Helena May Instituto on March 4th states -

The issues of Scriptures, in various Languages, by sales from the Depot in Wyndham Street, during 1918, amounting to 6,432 copies, are deemed encouraging. In addition, sales were effected from Kowloon, through the Rev. H. E. An- derson, sub-agent of the Society, who thus disposed of 3,387 copies, whilst by manne of colportage, under the immediate con- trol of the sub-agent or supervision of missionaries, there was a further distri bution, by antes, of 112,833 copies, an advance of 30,000, approximately, on the figures of the Hongkong Auxiliary for

In China, in Japón in India, in Ceylon, in Palestine, in Malaya, in the Sudan and in Persia, there are now, in all, 227 colporteurs and Biblewomen thus supported, represent ing 228 contributing friends of the Buciety.
