The Bible Today Hunigary, which is currently passing through one o! the worst blood-baths in history, has been preparing itself spir- itually for the struggle for free- dom for many years. Christian people have been rising at 5:OU) and 6:00 a.m. for group Bible Study before going out to their daily work in an increas- ingly hostile atmosphere. Interest in Bible reading bas resulted in increased înterest in Bible distribution. The Hun- garian Bible Council, now a member o! the United Bible Societies, took over from the British and Foreign Bible So- ciety seven years ago. Th-- British and Foreign Bible Sa- ciety had worked in the coun- try smnce 1811. Since the Hungarian Society assumed direction o! Bible printing and distribution a year- ly gift of 50 tons of Bible pa- per bas been given by the British Foreign Bible Society and the American Bible Socie- ty jointly. This year the quan- tity was increased to 82 tons- a contribution of about $35,000. Since money to pay for this paper could not leave the coun- try the Hungarian Bible coun- cil this year offered ta print Bibles in the Hunganian Ian- guage for the contributing So- ceis for distribution in Cari- adAustralia, New Zealand, Iand the U.S.A. So it is that Bi- bles printed on Communist Ipresses there have been circu- lated ini Canada during the past few months. It is reported that few Pro- testant homes in Hungary are without a Bible.
