We are honored that 60 years ago, you chose Vandeleur as youi home, a^ a young mairied woman- You settled here and have raised an industrious family, who have mar- ried and are raising their fitmiliei^ in nearby homes.

Calling for a copy of the Bible the Queen placed it in the hands of the Oriental Prince, and said. "This is the Secret of England's great- ness." As early as 1804, some years be- fore the above incident, a group of learding Englishmen, realizing the influence of the Scriptures in the life and hitetory of the British peoip- le, organized a Society for the pub- lishing and spreading of the Bible. The first President was Lord Teign- mouth, and the Committee included such outstanding men as William Wilberforce who later did mor than any other to aiboliteh slavery in the British Empire. To-day, the work of the Britiab and Foreign â-  Bible Society and its auxiliary organizations reaches e^- ery comer of the earth. The Old and New Testaments are printed in over 600 languages, more than 1000 col- porteurs, ate they are called, sell cop- ies to their own people, spreadmg the good news of a God of law. love and a)bundant life- In war and in peace the work has gone on.
