Philadelphia Home or First American Bible The first Bible printed In America came from the press of Robert Aiken, a Philadelphia patriot who emigrated from Scotland In 1763. The original Issue nppeared In J777 and consisted of the books of the New Testshnent. At that time there was a scarcity -of Bibles in the Colonies due to the break with Great Britain. Subsequent Is sues of the edition were made In 1779 and 1781, and In the latter year Aiken referred It to congress In the hope that that body, moved by the feeling of patriotism which was high during the Revolution, would buy the printed Bibles and distribute them among the soldiers. , Congress approved the Idea and agreed to buy a quantity of the Testa ments, ' and also recommended their purchase to the citizens of the United States. Aiken, however, never re ceived a cent from the government, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and, although he lost considerable money on his , undertaking, never pressed his claim, believing that as long as the treasury was la such a condition that the government could not alTord even to clothe Its soldiers properly, he should not Insist on payment. m I ti 1 Steves Grocery and Men and Boys Clothing Store l Boy! have you seen our line of socks.
