the homes of the well-to-do. In that
»ne month. In spite of the traditional
ifar of the book, the agents of the
American Bible society sold in those
"0 days over 10,000 copies. So far
have the Mexican people come In their
it.’ea that God's word Is the founda
tion of the true liberty for which they
long."
