H. Marion AHeti calls attention, In the

to active political life as a result of
the present war:
"A happy augury could be drawn,"
says Mr. Allen, "from the fact that
some 300-odd years ago when his dis
tinguished ancestor, William Cecil,
Lord Burleigh, was prime minister, the
schemes of Spain for an Invasion of
England were crushed for all time with
the disastrous defeat of the armada by
the English navy."
Now, with the certainty before her
that her navy is to play a critical, If
not decisive, part in the world-wide

Bible Society Is 5
100 Years Old!
In May, IS11, the American Blbls,
society was founded with Ellas Boudl '
not as Its president. In the 100 years
that have passed, the work of ths .
organization has tremendously In,
creased and remarkable Indeed has
been its history. Its centenary Is ecle i
brated hv the publication in two vol
umes of The Centennial History of the
American Bible Society, which has -been
written by the recording secre -'
tary of the society, Henry Otis Dwlght. f
A great deal of research and study V
has gone to Its preparation" atid the re1..
suit is a narrative of general Interest.
The fortunes of the society have been .
so closely bound up with the progress,
of America that this survey Is som "
what broader In scope than Its title
might Indicate. Not only does It set
forth the history of the society itself'
and Its success in distributing the,
gospel to the far ends of the earth, but"
It provides as well a significant com',
mentary on America, her expansion,
her society of this and other days, her
real national characteristics. .
