Religion: Bedroom Bibles
With a band of musical orphans and another of Salvation Army players to quicken their steps, 250 young Manhattanites marched on Fifth Avenue last Sunday carrying an average of 28 Bibles apiece. They were under the auspices of the New York Bible Society, and the 7,000 Bibles were presents to the management of 53 hotels in the metropolis, for distribution in bed-chambers. This consignment of Bibles brought the number distributed by the Society in hotels to 77,000.
